‘Yakoo Chai Wala’
This
place is not where one can order or eat pizza or burgers, nor will you find
brownies or some Italian tea here. Rather, tea is served in a simple glass
without any snacks. There are many other restaurants on the same Temple Road
where one can find and eat famous dishes include Siri Paye, Biryani, Hareesa,
Taka tuk, Nihari, Lassi, Faloda, Daal Chawal, Chargha, Fish, Bateray and many
more.
Yakoo
Chai wala has been here for the past many years and every evening at about 10
PM, special people who are dumb and deaf sit down together to have tea and
gossips. One can explore and enjoy a pure open air dhaba to have tea. This
place is always occupied by a massive number of people, starting from dawn till
late night. As it is said for New York that the city never sleeps, it goes for
Lahore as well. The place is open 24/7.
This
dhaba has got a charm and a unique taste of tea that if anyone drinks once,
it’s impossible from them to forget. Goonga Chai wala famous for his doodh
patti, the tea is thick, light texture, and hint of sweetness leaves you with a
warm, fuzzy feeling that momentarily drowns out any distress or disappointment.
All day within the area of Temple Road and Abid Market, cups full of this unique tea are distributed in the whole market and then collected later on. Tea is served and offered on credit to these market persons.
When
it comes to the exterior Dhaba environment this shop doesn’t have a shutter or
door. On one side of the shop, there is a bank and people sitting at a footpath
outside of it and on the other side there are benches occupied by people
outside closed shops. All places are occupied.
