I’ve been here a lot over a year or two. I’ve tried a wide variety across the menu, and the drinks are okay. They’re all overly sweet. It would be nice if the sugar levels were halved, or at the very least a customizable amount in the self kiosk. Once or twice the base coffee taste was a little off. Tried kashmiri chai once and wasn’t very good. However, I have tried a couple of the parathas and they are great! I’m yet to try the restaurant they have next door but have high expectations. Very good interior in the cafe, lots of seating, great for studying or hanging out. Staff has always been nice. I’ll very likely stop by again, and can still say I recommend giving this place a shot!

Their new banana pudding matcha is amazing!! smooth and not too sweet, just how I like it. The paneer kathi rolls were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. Plus, the cozy vibe and friendly staff made the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

​Authentic Pakistani Soul Food - A 5-Star Experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ​I recently visited Chai Chenak with my cousins and was absolutely blown away by the authenticity! 🇵🇰 If you are looking to experience the "true colors of Pakistan," this is the spot. 🎨✨ ​What we loved: 🍽️ ​Chikkad Chanay: Thick, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. A must-try! 🥘 ​Breads: The Naans and Parathas were served fresh, hot, and flaky. 🫓🔥 ​Bun Kabaabs: These tasted exactly like the legendary street food in Karachi! 🍔🧅 ​Mayo Garlic Rolls: Super creamy and delicious. 🌯🤤 ​Drinks & Dessert: The Mint Margaritas were so refreshing 🍹, and the Falooda was the perfect sweet ending to our feast! 🍨🍧 ​Karak Chai: You can't leave without a cup of their soul-warming tea. ☕ ​The Atmosphere: 📸 The decor is stunning! The walls are adorned

Chai Chenak Cafe is truly the place to be in New Brunswick. If you need a cozy spot to get work done with good Wi Fi and solid snacks to keep you going, this is it. If you want a fun place to hang out with friends and relax for a while, this is also it. The vibe is warm and welcoming, the drinks are comforting and flavorful, and the whole space just feels right. It is more than just a café. For so many people, it feels like a home away from home. Highly recommend stopping by if you have not already.
