From Mithila to
Bengaluru, With Love

In 2004, a young woman from the culturally rich region of Mithila in Bihar arrived in Bengaluru with her grandmother's secret masala blend tucked safely in her suitcase.

What started as a small cart near KR Market has grown into a beloved institution. For 20 years, she's been waking up at 4 AM to boil fresh milk, crush whole spices, and brew the perfect cup — just like her dadi taught her.

Today, Mithila Chai is where software engineers, autorickshaw drivers, and neighborhood aunties stand shoulder to shoulder, united by one thing: the best cup of chai in the city.

The Mithila Experience

Every cup tells a story of tradition, quality, and the warmth of a grandmother's kitchen.

Classic Masala Chai

Our signature. Fresh milk, hand-ground masala, and tea leaves steeped to perfection. The cup that started it all.

Adrak Chai

Ginger-infused for those who need an extra kick. Perfect for monsoon mornings and post-lunch slumps.

Special Elachi Chai

Cardamom-rich and aromatic, this royal blend is a customer favorite. Light, fragrant, and utterly satisfying.
