Been meaning to try out this place since quite some time. Finally headed there with family this evening. The menu is quite straight-forward. They have "Perfect" tea - which is one of their own brands, Adrak Tea and Pudina Tea. They also have a bunch of other stuff like Darjeeling Tea, Nilgiri Tea etc which is served void of milk and sugar. The aam janta tea drinkers should stick to their Perfect or Good Morning versions.
They also serve some snacks that go along with tea - Samosa, Khari, Mawa Cake etc.
The menu doesn't mention that each order brings in two cups of tea. We ordered 3 kinds of tea from the menu, only to find out that we got 6 cups of tea. The Khari and Swiss Cake were okay. Both the "Perfect" tea and the Adrak Tea were good.
The service needs a little brush up. The server kinda botched up our order. While serving he didn't tell us which tea was which. Also, it shouldn't take a Sherlock Holmes to realize that the sugar was missing from the table and needed replenishment.
The concept is novel. I think that the tea lounge idea definitely has legs. They should start serving some coffee and some non-caffeinated drinks as well.
The place was a bit noisy than expected. Ideally a lounge should offer an environment to relax.

was there at this place in the afternoon as was really curious to try this new concept for the first time in bombay. Lemme make my judgement about this place a bit simpler:
Ambience: Nice, cool and refreshing. comfrtable seating arrangements....
Service: Excellent... quick... absolutely up to the mark....
Tea: well, they have and amazing variety of tea here... regular one, which they call it as PERFECT and the Adrak based one as well... In addition to it, they also serve Organic tea and a wide variety of tea based beverages including darjeeling tean and ice teas as welll...
I had tried the Adrak tea and was awesome... you can actually feel the aroma of the tea in the lounge and once you have it, your taste buds will continue sensing the rich tea for a longer time.
I didnt try any of the food products, though, i did like the variety of options that are offered at this place...especially, as all the food products are the once which are commonly preffered by the masses....
overall... an ultimate experience and would love to visit this place over and over again...
and i hope this new concept is well accepted by all against the growing inclination towards the coffee joints... :)
