What to order, in four steps

1. Start with the karak

Karak Chai, Masala Karak and Ginger Karak are each AED 14. The Karak Chai is the plain one: strong, sweet and milky. Masala Karak adds a garam masala kick, and Ginger Karak brings fresh ginger warmth. The CCC Special Karak, AED 16, is the house blend, where saffron meets masala.

2. Go saffron for a treat

Saffron Chai (Zafrani) is AED 20, karak made with real saffron strands. Prefer something other than karak? Chai Latte is AED 22 and Mango Lassi is AED 18.

3. Add street food

Snacky Bombay is the street food side of the menu. Vada Pav (AED 11) is a spiced potato fritter in a soft pav, and Samosa Pav (AED 12) is a crisp samosa with kanda masala in a soft pav. Momos, an Aloo Paratha Roll and Chilli Cheese Toast are on the menu too; the full menu has them all.

4. Or order a combo

If you cannot decide, a combo settles it. Each one pairs a karak with a snack, and the table below lists the prices.
