A very nice little place to chill. Its located just above the Oxford Book Store in Park Street.You can spend several hours here. The staff do not rush you to leave.The food is fine. The quantity is more than ample. They serve smoothies, cold coffee etc in humongous glasses. Difficult to finish one.The price is totally pocket-friendly, considering the ample quantity.The decoration is very soothing to the eyes. Interesting trivia about tea written all over the walls.

Located conveniently on the second floor of The Oxford Bookstore, situated beside The Park, this is the perfect place to spend your weekend evenings with a cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other.We ordered the Peach Iced Tea, and came a tall glass of perfectly made Iced tea with peach flavouring. Although it had a little less tea flavour but still it served its purpose, a dose of coolness on a hot Summer evening.Then we ordered the Fish and Chips and we were not disappointed at all! We were served 3 fat fillets of Basa fish very lightly coated with breadcrumbs with a side of chips and tartare sause, which brought the whole dish together.I stayed there till 9 and loved the ambiance and crowd! One of the must visit places in Park Street!

This is such a pleasant spot to sit and read your new books. The menu is somewhat limited currently, but the items they do have are really good value and very tasty. Service is fast and friendly.

I love the bookshop as well as the Cha bar. It is a delight to visit this bookstore.

Sitting @chabarofficial surrounded by a myriad of books and walls with quotes and little facts about tea in India , transported me to a world that has always been my safety place. It is a heaven for foodies who are also bibliophiles.I tried a fusion tea that had essence of tiger Hill and strong flavours of gunpowder.The colonial hangover seems eminent whenever I sipped from my cup of tea.P.S. youll be spoilt for choices when it comes to tea @chabarofficial ....Follow @the_tastebud_trails for amazing tea updates

One of the best places of Kolkata ... simply love it .. cha and books , what more do you want ... Salad muffins, fries , sandwiches are good too and more or less pocket friendly than other park streets restaurants.... but only problem is it open in 11Am if you want morning tea or breakfast you wont get it

Its a very good place to read a book and grab a quick bite. Its situated at Oxford Book Store at Park Street. Its serves various Sub Sandwiches, Classic Sandwich and various Sweet and Savory Items. They also serve various Teas and Coffee. One should try out the place for a afternoon tea or Hi Tea. Prices are reasonable and the place is good for children and friends.

After quite a few visits to this cafe located on the mezzanine floor of Oxford Book store on Park Street, I am writing this review. Earlier whenever I visited I found it to be an excellent option for good, affordable, healthy and tasty snacks. This time however unfortunately things were different. To start with we had to wait a long time for someone to take down our order. Most of the teas on their menu were not available and we had to order from a very limited and frugal selection. When the tea was served the teapot was stained and broken at the spout. Since I have been here earlier I must admit, their standard has deteriorated considerably. Another issue I found was that service charge was being billed without first enquiring with the consumer. Once you raise an objection, it is being waived. But very few patrons are aware of this and end up paying.

Its a beautiful place to have chai and conversation. If you are a book lover its heaven for you . Chai+ surrounded by books. What more can you ask for.I along with a friend visited this place on International Tea day. 15 Dec. Making it even more special. They have variety of flavours and combination of tea. And some thing to eat as well. Do visit .

Situated above the Oxford bookstore Cha Bar is quite famous for its amazing collection of flavourful teas. This place has the perfect old school vibe with modern amenities. I enjoy taking a stroll through the bookshop and the giftshop before entering the cafe.I have been there many times, but this time I didnt order any tea. I ordered one chicken warp and one fish and chips. They maintain the same consistency everytime. I liked the price and portion/quality ratio. Ill be visiting soon.

The Cha Bar is an awesome place to be in. Its inside the very famous Oxford bookstore located in Park Street. Pocket pinch for two is around 500 bucks, must try the cold coffee. Go for some cool addas and some book browsing.

The place and ambience were awesome however much was left wanting in the service department. We ordered Kashmiri qawah tea , they took the order and later informed that its not available , then they took order for Arabian tea , it was quite average though . With tea came in a big pot enough in quantity .its a very bureaucratic place with lots of rules and sub rules . But its worth to visit this place for its ambience and vibe

Ita situated in park street and just above Oxford book store.. Place is quite relaxing and spacious.. also friendly staff.. when i visited restaurant, most of the options were missing.. but tried organic masala tea and its not that great..

Wonderful ambience. Well behaved staffs. Fish and chips is recommended from my side.

Nice cozy place but the service aint upto the mark. The servers indirectly come and tell us to leave after sometime and produce the bill without us asking them for it. Otherwise the aroma and atmosphere is great and food quality is also good at a cheap price...

One of the best place in Park Street to sit back and read books or have a time working with your pc and much more with direct access from the oxford book store making it bookworm friendly with awesome snacks at pocket friendly price.

Everything about this place is DISAPPOINTING. From the food quality to the staff behaviour.They served us burnt pizza and when we complained about it they asserted that pizzas all around the world taste and looks like this. They are nowhere to be blamed and its us who doesnt really know how actually pizzas taste or looks like. We order Mango bubble tea which was served with bubbles/boba seeds along with some *FLIES*. Again its our fault we should have protected our tea.Hence, I would not recommend this place to anyone because the staffs will not take responsibility for their food quality and service. The staffs are super arrogant. From the chef to the manager.The place is expensive and you will only pay for disappointing yourself.

Good ambience and a perfect place to sit and relax and have your Coffee/Chai (Cha) cup of the day. They are reasonable priced as well

Okay, so I wanted to go to this place since long back!So one day i picked up my friend and went there On The last day of year, haha (sounds crazy)!As I entered the place, I saw it was filled with books all over! It looked so so pretty!We can take up our favorite book and have a chitchat session over a cup of coffee too.The staff was friendly and great! They even suggested us the best tea they had (Kashmiri kawah).We ordered:⭕Kashmiri Kawah⭕ White sauce pasta⭕ Chocolate brownie⭕Chocolate cake⭕Hot chocolateThe food was amazing, I must say!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 🔥

Its a nice and decent place for a peaceful conversation.where you can have variety of teas ...bites..and a huge collection of books as well...i wud recommend it for a peaceful meets and conversation.

One of the best place for meeting, adda or just to spend some quality of times alone with a cup of tea... Its a place for the tea lovers. One can find different varieties of teas along with coffee, cold beverages, bakeries and snacks in the budget.

Located inside Oxford Book Store . The place is cosy and decor is too good. Various flavours of ice , coffee and tea , to be sipped while catching up with friends or persuing a book . Must try : tea , fish and chips , pasta.

Pretty good place to chat up a storm over a cup of tea. This place oozes the quintessential Kolkata adda place. Good service, a plethora of options in tea and good service makes it an ideal hangout destination... Njoy your hot cuppa!

Okay. So the other day I wanted to have good tea, so went to cha bar. Its good. The staff was good and suggested us whats their specialty. Me and my friends ordered sandwich, fish chop, masala chai, iced tea raspberry, iced tea mint. The staff goofed up the order first but then after a slight reminder they got it right. After sitting there for an hour we ordered iced tea again. The service was extremely slow. And by the time we were enjoying our evening there were these people who were fighting with the staff over the bill. We didnt understand at that time. But when we asked for the bill, we got to know that they were charging 10% service charge on top of 18% GST. This is not right. When asked about it the staff said they dont know anything about it and we should talk to the management. But there was no one available from the management. I would like the management to intervene and give us a proper explanation as to why are they charging the 10% extra tax.

Cha Bar is a part of Oxford book store.They have varieties to offer from combo meals to coffee and tea.Good customer services.A great view to sit and watch the world pass by.

The decoration and ambience was very nice but overall experience was not so good.Most of the items were not available and on top of that they charge S.C. Of 10% .Food quality was average.

Very beautiful decor. But delay in service. Kesar tea and cold coffee is worth trying.

Sitting at chabar feels wonderful as you are surrounded by a myriad of books and walls with quotes and little facts about tea in India , transported me to a world that has always been my safety place. It is a heaven for foodies who are also bibliophiles.I tried a fusion tea that had essence of tiger Hill and strong flavours of gunpowder.The colonial hangover seems eminent whenever I sipped from my cup of tea.Youll be spoilt for choices when it comes to tea.This place oozes the quintessential Kolkata adda place. Good service, a plethora of options in tea and good service makes it an ideal hangout destination...

This quaint and cosy place inside the Oxford book store is a sure shot winner for breakfast dates and evening tea! The selection is great and the food is delicious! Its pretty easy on the pocket too!

Pretty cool an ambience! The staff is also good. Fresh servings

Beautiful ambience and decor. Food is great. You can definitely catch a glimpse of the culture and lifestyle of Park Street, over here. Highly recommended.👍🏻

The decor and the atmosphere are very cozy. And the drinks offer a variety thats rarely available elsewhere. It needs to level-up the service a bit though.

One of best place to hang out with friends

Its an amazing place to read books and have a cup of coffee and enjoy really cheap and good and affordable.

I dont know about all the stuff they serve there but my experience was not good. We asked for smoothies for that we were told that they cant serve any shake as they dont have milk.Then waiter suggested us to have their Cha Bar special drink (which turned out to be Thandai). That was not at all good.Later, after leaving, I wondered how they served Thandai without milk. It is still mytry for me. Next time I will definitely ask them about it.Although, ambience was quite nice.

A best place hangout with friends and have supper there, truly amazing shops. You can also read books there, variety of books are available there. You can also have some snacks 🐱, and tea.. while reading books....

Great food joint. So cheap for students and they are having very special foods in their menu. Ambience is so very good. I just love their Cinnamon coffee.

Good place for a perfect adda over some muffins and tea

Nice cozy place. Good tea and food.

First, the good things. The ambience and the staff. Very inviting and courteous.Next... the not so nice bits...This place used to have one of the best collections of teas and some nice coffee variations. Alas, the menu is thick and invites one for disappointment.Now most of what you ask from the menu, is usually not there.The food runs out leaving one with little to eat.

The ambience of this cafe is great but same cant be said for food. I ordered a pasta and a pizza. Food was served after 15 minutes but it was still cold and not properly cooked. The cheese used in pasta tasted liked eraser, hard to chew. Pizza was little better but cheese again ruined it for me.The staff here is friendly except for a lady who surely had attitude problem.

BESTEST place for FOOD+BOOKS.section for KIDS CAREQuality crowd.less than 800 rs for 2 people.

Loved the ambience, the service, the hot chocolate. Lovely and lively place.

This place holds special place because of fond memories. The bookstore, launch area plus this eatery in heart of park Street makes it a go to spot. Love the fish and chips available here along with teas and coolers. Been here innumerable times but pictures are of latest ones. The quantity provided are also good.

Good place for Adda.. but their pasta was 👎👎👎

Its a small little cafe over the Oxford book store in Park street, right beside The Park. You can sit and read books here, they always have people coming in and ordering finger food or just beverages. They have a huge range of beverages. My personal favourite is the fish and chips and the white sauce pasta they serve among everything else.

Cha Bar is a perfect place for a bibliophile. Surrounded by books on all sides with artistic murals and decor, Cha Bar is both a visual and appetizing treat. A perfect place to have long conversations and meet some amazing people. The menu is exhaustive with choices ranging from a Nepali tea to a South Indian Madras coffee. Though most of the items were unavailable during our visit, the beverages we ordered were highly average to say the least.

Too good place to chill out with friends

We had ordered ginger tea, coffee, chicken sandwich and veg cheese sandwich (really sorry I havent noted down the exact names of the sandwiches). Taste was good but what was much more appealing to me was the ambience. Since, it is a part of the Oxford Book Store, you can easily go through your favourite novel while sipping a cup of hot coffee. The service could be improved a bit since I found they took quite long to serve the tea. However, something that needs real improvement is the toilet. Overall, its definitely a good place to spend some quality time alone or with friends, especially if you are a book lover.

A little overpriced but a great deal of filling and good food. We ordered fish and chips and bubble tea. I lived the raspberry flavoured bubble tea. Please try it. It is awesome.

Like the place, the ambience, the food but the service. Apart from service being very slow its a nice place to hangout alone or ever with good company. Best place to spend your time by yourself reading book and having whatever drink you like from what they offer.

It is very sad that I am giving a 3star to Cha Bar. This has been my favorite cafe for long.Located at the upper floor of the Oxford Book store at Park Street.I simply love their fish n chips .But the rest of their items are simply below average.However this is a great place to hang out with your buddies with a decent ambience.

Today Me and my siblings went to Cha Bar Kolkata . We people wanted to try some new Resturants in Park Street . So we decided that we oeople will go to Cha Bar . So when we went inside the resturant we booked a table for ourselves. We order four different types of Bubble Tea each costs Rupees 190 . We order a vegetable pizza whivh costs around 300 rupees . So when we got our order we saw that the pizza was overcooked and its corner were burned . We called the Manager to complain about The pizza because nobody will waste 300 rupees for a burned pizza we told him our problem .The Manager started Arguing with us that we cook pizza like this and tells that we have no knowledge of pizzas . My sister is also a baker and has a oen Bakery .When he told us that we have no knowledge of pizza my sister shows the picture of her own baked pizza and cakes and by accepting that this is his fault he started arguing with us . When we told that to refund our money he disagreed eith us by saying that we will give us a new pizza meanwhile my other sister Zoya saw that there is an insect in her bubble tea we went and told jima bout this just by ignoring us he didnt said we told him that we dont anything we will the money and will nevrr even recommend anyone to come here . He didnt even apologise Please i request evrryone plzz not to ho over there . Fidnt even want to give a star but still giving one star.

Good food good people. love this place

Good adda zone

This place holds special place. The bookstore, launch area plus this eatery in heart of park Street makes it a go to spot. The ambience is just so great. You step down and you find the Oxford book store which makes this place more wow. The decor as well is great. The food quality I would is descent not very extravagant but acceptable.Its a place where you can come and relax and enjoy as its very cosy...I really like the choco ice-cream fudge also coffee is really good..For Food- 4 starsFor ambience- 5 stars

Sipping tea surrounded by books, is my idea of chill, and this place is perfect for that. I personally love the aura of the place. The book store is mainly on the ground floor with the first floor dedicated to a lot of things, a cafe being one of them. Although you might find the offerings not so pocket friendly, but come here for the soothing environment. And if you are a book lover, dont think twice and just go there.

Has a good ambience.

Awesome place to have fun with friends.

Love it all together. It is right inside the Oxford book store, park street. They bake good brownies. I like their exotic tea too. Must visit place.

My one of the most favourite place. It is an awesome place to sit back and relax. Located above Oxford Book Store, it allows one to spend time with their recent purchase. It also allows people to sample the various tea and coffee blends from around the world. You can sip all forms of tea or coffee along with snacks being around books.

Cool place to hang out and have a bite. The Oxford Book Store specially appeal to book lovers like me. Ordered smoked chicken Sandwich and cold coffee with ice cream. Tastes fine , with added giddiness of buying a new book.

Nice cozy place with pleasant people ..

I went for business meeting. She tooked me to this place. I thanked her for taking me to such a place I love, advantage of accompanying with person like her who love books. I would suggest them to play only instrumental background music. So over all, I really loved the place, the ambience, artistic and aesthetic design, the food presentation and most importantly all these in the bookshop cum reading place. What else you need ? For me, thats all I wanted and needed minus that music.

This cha bar is located in Oxford Book Store in Park Street. The cafe is with very nice ambience. This place is ideal for any type of meeting, Publishing event, Stand Up comedy etc. The most important fact is instead of located in a prime location this Cha Bar is very Reasonably Priced Unlike Any other coffee Joint. Coming to the menu they have an wide spread of Tea, Coffee, Moctails, Smoothies, Shakes. Also both the main course food & Snacks are available from most of the Italian & Indian Dishes. In single word the place is of 100% Recommendation for any budget.

Great way to sit back and drink from a large selection of brews. The place is very tastefully done. Great location on park street after a day of shopping!

I loved the ambience of this place. Its basically a book cafe. Right now, this is my favourite place on earth. ♥️ (P.S- Im a book lover , so this is like a paradise for me)

They have a ridiculous and very unethical way of doing business! They have many items in the menu card but when asked for they would only recommend you only the expensive items and deny the availability of smaller price bracket items.Its a shame for such a popular chain using such cheap business tactics! I felt like I should just leave the place straight away, but had to stay because of self etiquette bounds.Please dont visit such place which extort money from the customers in the name of business.

Very innovative location to serve tea. Great ambience! You can read books that are in first floor while having a variety of tea. Their new addition of Bubble tea is a fun try!☺️

Good place for date.

Good for couples. Book lovers. Try fish chips there. Dont order shakes, they are too sugary.

Terrible service. They act like they’re doing you a favor.

Awesome place loved it.

Grab a book from the bookstore adjacent to the cafe and drink chai on chai reading the book at the cha bar!

Cha bar is located at the first floor of the Oxford Book Store. You will get finest quality tea like makaibari tea, first flush, second flush, and various boutique tea here. Apart from tea snacks are also available. Fish & chips is a must try here. Buy your favorite books from Oxford Book Store and have a tea of your choice here.

Drinks good food average.... ambience provided!

Located on the first floor of Oxford bookstore at the heart of park street. It is located right next to the park hotel.The food here is satisfactory, not outstanding but not bad either. Must try- cold coffee, chocolate truffle.You also have a selection of books in a section of the cafe and you can read them in silence if you want.It is undoubtedly one of the best cafes I have visited and has a casual ambience which is exactly what one wants in a cafe.One drawback- they charge service tax separately, along with CGST & SGST.

Cha bar us one of the best places for book lovers. On the ground floor you have the Oxford book store and on the first floor you have the cha bar. Its a very cosy cute little cafe on one side you have the book shelves where you can sit for hours and read anything you like and on the other side is the sitting area and on the background there faint Rabindra Sangeet being played on loop. Its a good for professional meetings or if you are meeting a book lover for the first time you can definitely consider this place.

A book and chai lovers paradise, take ur bae and this place will blossom out ur affection for books and tea.!

The best place to read books over tea n coffee munching with some snacks. You can definitely spend lovely time with the books a good place to hold a small official meeting.

It is an awesome place to sit back and relax. Located above Oxford Book Store, it allows one to spend time with their recent purchase. It also allows people to sample the various tea and coffee blends from around the world.

The ambience and the food both are a favourite to anyone who visits there. The non-veg platter and the fish and chips are especially recommended.

Oh...Its the best place for your first date, for book lovers, for writers. I loved it here. Food is also great❤

Love the ambience...if you are a true book lover then you will experience the best time with a sip of your cappuccino

Staffs behaviour was so good..a small accident happened through us but they managed it so well.. and the food quality is awesome#must_visit😊😍

Nestled inside Oxford book store , its a nice and cosy cafe amidst books. Have a decent menu with lots of options for tea and coffee. They are also one of the very few places in kolkata that serve Bubbletea.The ambience is great, the decor is cute with kettle and other stuff.The staff is cordial but service is slightly slow at busy hours but definitely worth a visit.

I am a regular visitor in your place.but an incident happened today will restrict me to go there again...well when i was eating an waiter came and gave the bill and when i asked he said its a queue so asked us to.leave early and it left me speechless and i felt like a begger by his tone ..is this how you treat your customers ..and is this how you give training to your so called waiters who lacks professionalism and i believe their standard shouldnt be more than a street begger..very unpleasant humiliating and it really sucks

The lavender and jasmine tea & coffee cake with a good read by my side is just my day made!

It is actually located inside Oxford book store in Park Street. We had cold coffee, sandwiches, rested ourself, then browsed books, bought a few. Very refreshing. And cosy for a small family.

Limited menu.Tehy will provide u menu of 8-9pages but have only few of them available.Very much difficult to order.

Cozy and comfortable. Courteous staff. Good food and an amazing range of teas

The food was pathetic. Delayed service. Non photogenic place. Dont ever try the pasta..uh will end up ruining ur taste buds.

Most of the items we asked were not available. But its a good place to sip a coffee and read a book

Nice ambience to drink good quality tea or coffee surrounded by books. Nice experience. Really enjoyable.

Excellent place for tea lovers, quick snacks and loads of books, its an environment that allows you to have your me time with books as well as we time with friends... With a cuppa 🍵

Try the Darjeeling tea and Sandwich here.Its awsome and within budget.Will hardly cost you Rs.400 for 2 persons.

A lovely place to hangout and have awesome teas after some book shopping 😁

It is the inside of oxford book store. Good for tea, coffee and snacks items.

It was a good place before. The quality has deteriorated over time. Delayed service, non-availability of dishes.

Visite the pace as heard good reviews and was looking fora place where in kolkata where one can read and work and enjoy some tea.. was disappointed at large with the place , first of all the tea is very overrated and most of the teas which are less costly on the menu are never availbel( visited thrice and every time mentioned that its finished). the staffs are polite barring some who are really rude and would bug you to order more , as if yeah you are lost in your work but please order something.the snacks are okie but again overrated .. the biggest problem here is they do not have a restroom , i mean there is one downstarir which is better not to be used , as its very unhygienic and dirty.the good part is overall ambience is good and i feel if the above mentioned negatives are looked after it can be actually a rivetting place but till then you empty your bladder before you visit the place ;)please please for gods sake get a restroom built.
