Dehradun: Over the past few years, innumerable cafes, theme–based restaurants and eateries have mushroomed all over town, each trying to out do the other when it comes to ambience, menu and service.

In the same unending list we add ‘The 3 Cafeteers’ located at Krishna Nagar Chowk, Dehradun. But whats different is that this cafe that prides itself about the variety of tea that they serve their customers.

The dream-child of three childhood friends, Zargham Zaidi, Nabeel Ansari and Shubham who got together to open an exclusive tea-café, which is now known for serving ‘tandoori chai/tea’ in a mud-cup specially baked in a tandoor and served only until noon.

Without giving away much, Zargham tells us about their specialty, “once we opened the cafe, we looked for something unique that we could serve our client and also one which would give us a unique identity. We chanced upon Tandoori chai, we add cinnamon, ginger, elaichi, sugar and a host of other secret ingredients which has since then become an instant hit with our customers.”

Within a short span, ‘The 3 Cafeteers’ has taken Dehradun by storm. Tea-lovers and inquisitive clients throng to the cafe to get a taste of tandoori tea along with regular tea, lemon tea, balck teal, cold coffee and finger food such as burgers to go with it.

Co-owner Nabeel adds,  “seeing the response we have got so far, we might venture into neighbouring towns and cities, but we need to ensure that the quality of our food and beverages remain intact. Shubham adds, “we have customers coming from as far as Vikasnagar and Mussoorie to have tea at our cafe, that for us is our greatest USP.”

With general winter’s long march ahead of us, cups of tea become synonymous with the season. Perhaps it is time for you too to get a taste of Tandoori Chai as well.
