"Kaafi by Chaiguy is such a gem in New York. We tried the butter chicken sandwiches, cheese samosas, shredded chicken samosas, and aloo samosas—and every single item was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The butter chicken sandwich was rich and comforting, and the samosas were crispy on the outside with delicious fillings that didn’t disappoint. We also ordered the brown sugar chai and got it in two pots, which was such a nice touch. The chai was smooth, aromatic, and honestly one of the best I’ve had—perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. What really elevated the experience was Muneeb. He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and took the time to talk to us about his journey and explain the meaning behind each of the art pieces on the walls. That personal connection and storytelling made the space feel warm, intentional, and memorable. Service was easily 10/10, and the overall vibe was cozy, creative, and inviting. Definitely a place you can tell is run with passion and heart. Will absolutely be coming back again."

"Came on a late sunday afternoon, super popular with the local community for a cup of chai or pick me up Pakistani hot street snack. Only a barista and a guy in the kitchen prepping food, so its a little wait, chill vibe not a place you wanna come if you are in a rush. More seatings next room. Chai is good but not so much for coffee."

"Wonderful Cafe serving variety of teas & coffee with delicious appetizers. Nice seating to spend time chatting or reading. Easily reachable through subway or local transport. Great experience 👍 We had cake risks, samosa chaat & pakoda."

"The chai here meets the hype! I’ve tried all of them, they’re all so good. My personal favorite is the masala chai. I usually order the kheer (nostalgia from my childhood) but I recently got the carrot ginger gajar cake and WOW! It’s so flavorful, moist, and pairs perfectly with the chai. I’ve also enjoyed their samosas and aloo paratha. This place does not disappoint!"

"Overall, rather odd experience. Went in for my first time and had a great conversation with the owner. I love Pakistani food and did not realize there was a place in my neighborhood. I ordered several things off the menu, including the chicken and lamb sandwich things. I went home so excited to dig in and “homeopathic” is the best adjective I have to describe the taste, and not in the medicinal sense. The food was frankly bland and scant. One side of the sandwich had one piece of chicken enclosed and the other was almost as rough. Samosas were okay but generally underwhelmed. Wish I had been at least whelmed. Went back to speak to the owner. As a business owner feedback from a customer who wants to talk is a gift and dude basically blew me off and said write a review so here we are. Update Really tried to try again. Got a slice of the coconut rose cake. Bland and hard/stale."
