Chai Village in Michigan

"This place is just what the south east michigan has been missing out on! Authentic taste, pocket-friendly and a very interesting and diverse menu selection. The decoration inside is the main vibe that comes with nostalgia and cozy setup. Open till late night- more reason to stand out as a unique hang out spot. Totally recommend!!"

"We had ordered an Eggless Vanilla Buttercream cake recently. It was Awesome. They made the cake with our expected design within a short notice, and had on time delivery too. The cake was delicious and we received a couple of compliments for its design and flavor from our friends. The intricate details they had provided in packaging is also commendable. Apart from the cake, the authentic Indian food that is being served from street food varieties to parathas to dosa/idly are very tasty and reasonably priced. Mix bhajji, Aloo Paratha and Chola Bhatura are always on our menu along with Masala tea. The people over here are friendly too. It is a must visit cafe for our son during the weekends."

"What a wonderful experience at Chai Village in Canton! I ordered a takeout Thali and was blown away by the presentation—everything was packed so nicely. The service is top-notch, the food is delicious, and the owner’s passion is evident in every interaction. They genuinely engage with customers and make you feel welcomed! Highly recommend!"

"Good response and service Ambience is very good with traditional Indian vibes. For someone who is missing Indian snacks and ginger chai , this is the best place. They are yet to add more items to menu. So far Paratha and planner samosa are good."

"We’ve been here a few times now and absolutely love the cozy desi café vibe. The food has been consistently on point - the benne dosa and aloo parathas are must-tries, imo. My husband never skips the chai and usually ends up ordering a second cup by the time we’re done, which says a lot about how good it is The hospitality is warm and welcoming, everything is made fresh, and we’re genuinely happy to support this new local spot."

"I recently visited Chai Village and had a somewhat mixed experience. The ambience was definitely one of the highlights it was clean, well-maintained, and had a cozy vibe that makes it a nice place to relax or catch up with friends. I really liked the punugulu and chutney; they were fresh, crispy, and flavorful. However, the benne dosa did not meet my expectations, as the taste and texture were not as authentic as I hoped. I was particularly disappointed with the masala chai, which tasted quite off and wasn’t enjoyable. Overall, while the ambience was good, the food quality felt inconsistent and could definitely be improved."

"I usually take photos of my food, but didn't this time because everything was so delicious, I barely had time to click photos! It goes to show how great this place is! Absolutely epic food, right here in Canton, heck even across the state of Michigan! Not an understatement when they mention people coming in all the way from Kalamazoo or Benton Harbor for this kind of authentic taste & flavor! The owners make everyone feel right at home, whether it be by helping through the menu, stopping by and checking on how the food is, or taking care of their guests like family, this place makes you experience how cafe & dhaba culture back home really is like! What we had and how we rate them: Peri Peri Fries - 10/10 - Nice hint of peri peri powder, on crisp and well done potato fries Kadak Chai - 10/10 - You can actually taste the essence of the tea leaves and the thickness of the concoction Maska Bun - 99/10 - Been a while since I've had such an amazing maska bun, heck even the ones in India fall flat many times. This here was epic, buttery, sweet and melted in my mouth! Absolute flavor bomb, packed in an appropriate portion size! One wont do enough; order a bunch and feel satisfied! Pav Bhaji - 9/10 - Simple, homely, flavorful with the right mix of spices and butter Benne Dosa - 99/10 - Reminds you of exactly how food back in Bengaluru is! The spice mix, the crispness of the dosa complemented by its soft inner texture, the sambar that is simply out of the world, and the benne aka butter to top it off! Heavenly flavor, authentic af; been to many Kannada restaurants across the US, and this has to take the winners medal for the best authentic benne dosa! Alfredo Pasta - 9/10 - Simple, cozy, cheesy for those cold Michigan nights Molten Lava Cake - 10/10 Served in style, with a nice mushy warm soft chocolate cake, and a cone full of chocolate ice cream melting away at the cake, to come home and pack an insane flavor to finish the meal off! What we would definitely recommend based on what we ate/saw: Benne Dosa Malai Bun Pav Bhaji Thali & tiffins - Will try next time Sambar Rice - Will try next time Veggie Maharaja Burger - Will try next time Bombay Sandwich - Will try next time Did I mention benne dosa and malai bun! And much more... Thanks again for a great time! Please keep doing this for everyone in Michigan, that wants to experience what being home in India feels like, right in the heart of Michigan, USA!"

"Solid 5. When I first visited, I had a Vada Pav and it was so good. I was so impressed with everything about this Cafe that I hosted my birthday party here. Kedar Ji was so kind, so gracious and took care of everything. I am glad I choose to host my birthday here. I highly recommend this place. Food, hospitality everything is top notch"
