Sharma Ji ki Chai-
Sharma Ji Ki Chai, established in 1949, has been a beloved tea adda in Lalbagh, Lucknow, for three generations. Originally from Aligarh, the Sharma family brought their love for tea to the city, creating a legacy that continues to delight tea lovers today.
First Generation: Shri Om Prakash Sharma laid the foundation, turning a humble tea stall into a local favourite.
Second Generation: His son, Deepak Sharma, expanded the stall’s reputation, keeping the kadak chai, bun-makkhan, samosas, and mathri alive, while welcoming poets, students, and office-goers.
Third Generation: Manav Sharma, grandson of Shri Om Prakash Sharma, now carries forward the family tradition, maintaining the flavours, tehzeeb, and charm for today’s Lucknowis.
Over the years, Sharma Ji Ki Chai has hosted political leaders like former PM Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, former UP CMs Kalyan Singh & Rajnath Singh, as well as Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Raj Babbar, and Jyotiraditya Scindia. It has also welcomed Bollywood and culinary stars such as Sanjeev Kapoor, Raghnesh, Kartik Aaryan, and Ananya Panday – a testament to its legendary status.
