Kitabi Chai is my go-to spot whenever I need to escape the noise and just breathe. It’s cozy, calm, and always feels like a warm hug after a long day. The food is very good, and the staff? Super friendly and welcoming. And especially the heart behind Kitabi Chai 'Geetika' . She always makes you feel like you're more than just a customer. Her genuine nature and kind presence truly add soul to the place.

This is a super amazing hangout located at Marvel Sangria NIBM road. The book collection, setup and specially the sitting is just wow. One feels aways from the chorus of city once they are here reading their favorite book and sipping some amazing coffee. The best thing is they have completely affordable pricing. Visit to Banta Hai
