There’s something magical about chai on a moving train. The sound of the wheels, the chill in the air, and that familiar voice echoing on the platform — “Chai garam! Chai garam!”

Now imagine that same experience but better — hot, freshly brewed tea served right at your seat! Yes, RailRestro brings you “Chai Garam”, your own cup of warmth on the go. You can now check your PNR status, order tea or food on train, and track your journey all in one app.

This winter, as you travel through misty fields and foggy mornings, here are the 4 types of chai you can enjoy on board — and the kind of passengers who can’t resist them!

 1. Masala Chai – The Filmy Favorite

“Ek garam chai ki pyaali ho… koi usko pilane wali ho!” 

Every Indian journey starts with Masala Chai. The mix of ginger, cardamom, and cloves hits differently on a cold morning. As your train glides through sleepy towns, that steaming cup feels like pure comfort.

You take the first sip, lean by the window, and think — “Bas, yeh safar khatam na ho.” It’s the same warmth you feel in a Bollywood scene, like Veer-Zaara or Jab We Met.

Who loves it the most?

• The romantic traveler staring out of the window.
  
  
• The early riser catching a 6 AM train.
  
  
• Couples sharing one cup (and a thousand smiles).
  
  

Order tip: Use RailRestro’s food delivery app to get your food on train and add a hot cup of Masala Chai for that extra love.

2. Elaichi Chai – The Poet’s Companion

“Where words fail, tea speaks.” ☁️

If Masala Chai is drama, Elaichi Chai is poetry. The sweet aroma of cardamom feels like music to your senses. The kind of chai that turns an ordinary train ride into a quiet, dreamy escape.

As your train crosses green fields, you take a slow sip and think of a few lines:
“Yeh elaichi wali chai bhi kya kamaal karti hai,
Thandi hawaaon mein dil ko mehka deti hai.”

Who loves it the most?

• The reader, lost in a book near the window seat.
  
  
• The solo traveller watches the sunrise quietly.
  
  
• The thinker, who believes every sip brings inspiration.
  
  

Pro tip: Check your PNR status on RailRestro before you board, then order your Elaichi Chai and breakfast together — right from your seat.

 3. Adrak Wali Chai – The Energy Booster

“Chai aur main, dono strong hain!” 

There’s nothing more desi than Adrak wali chai. It’s the heartbeat of every Indian journey. One sip and you’re awake, alive, and ready to take on the world (or at least the next 10 hours of travel).

The sharp punch of ginger warms you from the inside. You can almost hear SRK saying in your head — “Dil toh har chai pe aata hai!”

Who loves it the most?

• The college group is laughing nonstop in sleeper class.
  
  
• The office traveller is checking emails between sips.
  
  
• The chatterbox who says, “Ek aur cutting de na!”
  
  

Order tip: Use RailRestro’s food on track feature to get Adrak Chai and a samosa while your train halts. Perfect break, perfect taste!

 4. Cutting Chai – The People’s Favorite

“Ek cutting dena… aur zara pyaar se banana.” 

If there’s one chai that unites India, it’s Cutting Chai. Small glass, big flavour. From Mumbai platforms to Delhi junctions — every traveler has had one. Now, with RailRestro’s Chai Garam, you can get that same magic right at your seat.

Imagine your train slowing down at sunset. The air turns cool, someone plays an old Kishore Kumar song, and you sip that half-glass of pure joy. That’s the essence of Cutting Chai — short, strong, and unforgettable.

Who loves it the most?

• The Mumbaikar who can’t start the day without chai.
  
  
• The group of friends traveling home for the holidays.
  
  
• The uncle who smiles and says, “Beta, yeh chai toh kamaal ki hai!”
  
  

Perfect pair: Cutting Chai + Railway biscuit + gossip = Heaven on wheels!
