Lakshmi Chai Wala - Tea store in thana, Varanasi - Varanasi, India

This place is near to old Vishwanath temple . Very old shop . I feel this place is overpriced as well not that worthy. The tea was okay in taste. I tried amul butter toast which was below the expectation. Malai toast I don't like at all. When i compare this shop with other chaat or tea shops of low/medium level. I will give it 2/5 in taste and 1/5 in cost. Overall not worthy as it's costly(compared to other shops) and very distant from main locations.

For all the chai and bread butter lovers out there, this place is for them! The butter toast is very simple yet tasty Although its situated in a very narrow street very close to the Kashi Vishwanath temple gate no. 4, this place is always crowded. The toast is made on coal and the butter or the white makhan is completely melted and gives a very nice flavour to the toast. The best morning breakfast in Varanasi after Bedai

Lakshmi Chaiwala. One of most famous Chaiwala at Banaras. This place is not only famous for it's awesome Chai but is also popular for their unique Butter Toast and Malai Toast. These two dishes are just mouth watering and must taste. The toast is roasted on Koyala bhatti and topped with butter they prepared at home besides this you will also get Amul Butter toast but suggested to taste their home made butter toast only and the Malai Toast is just out of this world tastes very good with that hot kulhad tea. Pure Malai topped with sprinkled sugar on toast....amazing experience. Must must try if you are visiting Banaras. The place is near the Kashi Vishweshwar Mandir and it's a very tiny place usually crowded. But don't miss it.

Good place for Tea and bread toast lover. Many types of toast are available here personally I like Malai toast and caesarean toast. But over-hype place.

We would never have found this place without the help and directions of our local contact, a really sweet Uncle who said that their chai and safed makhan toast were a must-try. After visiting Kashi Vishwanath we came to this place at 5am and there were people sitting there already. Its humble setting doesn't do justice to the awesome kulhad wali chai and super delicious safed makhan toast. If you're a chai lover, you have to try this. The combination is just too good to resist!

First time trying malai toast and loved it so much we ordered another serving. Bread is toasted over a charcoal grill. The malai topping was not overly sweet and went well with the freshly toasted bread. Chai was ok.

A must visit in Varanasi.. The atmosphere is crazy.. the hot piping kullad chai with Unsalted Butter Toast is good, but not to be missed is Malai Toast. You need to go really early and try it. It is light on stomach and a very unique thing..
