Ever had that moment when a restaurant gives you a great impression, and then you go back only to realize your taste buds have been scammed? That’s exactly what happened when I decided to give Chaya Mukku a second chance.
Their biriyani had impressed me before, so I thought, “What could go wrong with evening snacks?” Spoiler alert: everything. 😂
The Snacks Adventure (or Misadventure)
On my visit, they were gearing up for evening snacks like they were preparing for a wedding. The aroma was floating, the staff were hustling, and my stomach was ready. Expectations? Sky-high.
I tried:
- Mutta Baji (Egg Bajji)
- Cutlet
- Banana Fry
- Tea (because what’s snacks without chai?)
And then… reality struck.
- Cutlet: Overloaded with spices, as if masala was free that day.
- Banana Fry: Soggy. Like, “forgot-in-the-fryer” soggy.
- Mutta Baji: Something tasted off. Spoiled? Or just bad cooking? I’ll let my stomach decide.
- Tea: Watery enough to qualify as flavored hot water.
Expectation vs Reality Score? Average. Like, “just passing the exam because the teacher was kind” average.
If you want snacks just to say “I had snacks,” you can go. Otherwise, your taste buds deserve better. Parking? A nightmare. You’ll get more cardio there than at your gym.

Final Verdict:
Okay Chaya Mukku, your snacks didn’t impress me. Maybe my expectations were too high, or maybe soggy banana fry is just your signature dish. Either way, if you’re going there for snacks—don’t expect a culinary miracle.
But hey, if you’re into average food, parking stress, and a good story to troll your friends with, then this place has you covered.
