Hey, I’m Dhanwant Nashik’s Activa-riding explorer behind Urban Chats on YouTube. One afternoon, I hit Chai Ketali Nashik on College Road with my friend Sejal to plot our next video. We ate, sipped, and soaked in the buzz white sauce pasta, peri peri fries, and cutting chai kept us going. It’s a spot that’s cheap, chill, and packed with college energy perfect for creators like us. Here’s my take on Chai Ketali, why it’s a Nashik gem, and how it sparked our Urban Chats grind. Let’s dive in!
Why Chai Ketali Hit the Spot
Chai Ketali sits on College Road Nashik’s student hub near BYK College. It’s no frills just wooden tables, warm lights, and a crowd that feels like home. Sejal and I needed a laid-back place to brainstorm Urban Chats somewhere with good food, low prices, and a pulse. At ₹110 a plate and ₹15 chai, it’s a steal college kids swarm it, and we fit right in. Afternoon’s when it wakes up vibes perfect for plotting a shoot.
The Food: Fries and Mojitos Steal It
We settled in Sejal scanning the menu, me eyeing carbs. White Sauce Pasta (₹110) came first creamy, cheesy, not too rich. Solid pick, she agreed. Then Peri Peri Fries (₹110) crisp, fiery, dusted red—split ‘em and couldn’t stop. Drinks? I grabbed Blue Curacao (₹110) bright, tangy, cool. Sejal’s Strawberry Mojito (₹110) sweet, bubbly, berry-fresh. Ended with Cutting Chai (₹15 each) strong, earthy, two tiny glasses of Nashik soul. Bill? ₹460 for two wallet-friendly fuel.
The Vibe: College Chaos Meets Creator Calm
Post 4 PM, Chai Ketali’s a zoo college crew floods in, loud with fries and maggi orders. It’s cozy but rowdy wood creaks, kettles hiss, chatter rules. We nabbed a corner ideal for Urban Chats talk. Young crowd 18-22, hoodies, backpacks matches our YouTube tribe. Music’s soft, voices aren’t feels like a stall with walls. Perfect for groups, decent for solo plotting.
Urban Chats Brainstorm: Next Video Vibes
Over fries, Sejal and I hashed out Urban Chats’ next move Nashik’s pulse is our game. Ideas flowed:
- Someshwar Waterfall—summer twist, less monsoon rush.
- Street Food Run—Thali House revisit or vada pav chase?
- Cafe Vlog—Chai Ketali live, tasting on cam.
Mojitos sparked it Sejal pitched a “Nashik dusk” angle, maybe College Road glow. Chai locked it: food-plus-vibe shoot, spot TBD. Left with plans, full bellies ready to roll.
Why Chai Ketali’s Nashik Gold
Chai Ketali’s no Cafe Bliss polish grittier, cheaper, louder. Pasta’s fast 10 minutes chai’s 5. Prices fit tight budgets ₹15-₹110 range. College Road chaos feeds it bikes hum, pals pile in. Taste’s good not fancy, but peri peri fries and mojitos shine. Post-4 PM is peak energy’s electric.
Tips for Chai Ketali
- Timing: Pre-4 PM for peace after, it’s a college wave.
- Order: Peri peri fries + mojito—winners every time.
- Ride: Activa’s best parking’s snug, free.
- Crew: Bring friends solo works, but groups rule.

Chai Ketali vs. Nashik Cafes
Cafe Bliss has cozy, Chai Ketali has grit less shakes, more chai. Bar Stock Exchange is pricier (₹300 vs. ₹110) snacks, not sit-down soul. Shree Krishna’s street, not cafe Chai Ketali blends both. It’s Nashik’s chill king food, vibe, price click.
