What Customers Say

I had an amazing time at this cute restaurant. It immediately took me back to a railway station canteen in India. I had the masala chai and Bombay club sandwich. They were both amazing. I would highly recommend these. Both were freshly made and tasted great. The sandwich is definitely something that would satisfy your craving and help with your longing for sandwiches from India. The space inside is quite small for large groups. It’s definitely worth it to sit down and enjoy the sandwich and chai inside the restaurant. It won’t taste the same in a takeout meal. Ramanpreet and her colleague were both very friendly and helped me with useful suggestions to help me decide what to order. The display of chips, biscuits does remind you of a railway station and the chai cup has an amazing graphic of the most popular Indian railway stations. Definitely a must visit just for the nostalgia value alone.

This is a great cozy spot that we came across here in Brampton which serves you fresh chai, snacks and other eateries.
The theme is aligned with the railways and gives you the vibe if you choose a dine in option.

We tried their papadi chat, Bombay sandwich, aloo puff and samosa chaat all of which were very very tasty and served in good quantities.

From their chai to their yoghurt everything is made in house and is really delicious.

They also serve rajma Chawal and Chola Chawal as well which we are yet to try.

The ladies at the counter to help you are very kind and well spoken. We’ve had good food and good times everytime we visited this place.

Space also has a lot of parking

I recommend this place 100%

The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Everything was fresh, well-packaged, and delivered on time. What made it extra special was the little handwritten message on the packet it showed so much care and thoughtfulness. Loved your way of writing the message, it made the experience warm and personal. Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience at Railway Chai. The ambience has that perfect cozy vibe, and the chai was fresh, filled with flavour, and served piping hot. Ratan provided excellent service—very friendly, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout. Definitely a place worth visiting if you love good chai and great hospitality!

Really awesome place if you are looking for small treats. Excellent service and friendly staff. The bheega kulcha is show stopper and never seen the bun this soft so far in Canada. I wish them best for the business ✌🏻🙏🏻

Oh wow! Having karhi chawal and chai at night at Railway Chai and Snack House was an absolute delight. When you’re craving something comforting, flavourful, and homely late at night, this place truly delivers. The karhi chawal was just like home – creamy, tangy karhi paired perfectly with soft, steaming rice. Every bite brought back memories of traditional Punjabi home cooking.

Now let’s talk about the chai – balle balle, what a treat! Hot, aromatic, and brewed just right, this wasn’t just any cup of tea – it was soul-satisfying. The kind of chai that warms your heart, especially when sipped under the stars. Paired with the meal, it was the perfect nightcap.
