Had great experience at Plentea, my friend & I were talked through all the drink options & had a delicious Karak chai, made right in front of us, not too sweet of a chai. Absolutely fantastic saffron orange cake & was vegan!
The owner claimed that everything was prepared from scratch, but the paratha was clearly a frozen one with labneh & olives simply added on top. That was quite disappointing.
Additionally, the karak chai tasted very similar to regular Indian masala tea, so I'm not sure why it was labeled as'karak chai.'
Moreover, the Mâcha Strawberry was full of ice cubes.
Unfortunately, the owner also came across as arrogant & could benefit from improving his customer service skills. I believe being honest about the food & treating customers with respect would greatly enhance the overall experience.
I ordered a karak chai with saffron, & it was extremely disappointing. There was no noticeable saffron flavor at all, despite paying extra for it. The drink tasted mostly like water & lacked the rich, creamy consistency that a proper karak chai should have. To make matters worse, the ice had already melted by the time it was served, making it even more watered down.
What made this even more disappointing is that I've had this drink in the past & enjoyed it, which makes the difference even more noticeable. The consistency & quality seem to have dramatically diminished over time.
For almost $8, this was honestly the worst karak chai I've ever had. I expected much better quality for the price. I'm not sure if this was due to the staff member who prepared it today, but the experience was far below expectations. I won't be returning, & I definitely cannot recommend the karak chai with saffron.
Very nice place & friendly worker really enjoyed drinking tea in a small quiet & very clean place really enjoyed karak tea & cinnamon cake specially after long walking in downtown & bit cold & rainy day
Disappointing Value
'I ordered the Karak Chai today ($7) & was disappointed to find the cup significantly under-filled. While the flavor was good, the portion size didn't justify the premium price. I'd appreciate seeing better pouring standards in the future to ensure customers get what they pay for.'
