What to Eat at Cup of Tea Cafeteria How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Cup of Tea Cafeteria, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Cup of Tea Cafeteria, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Plan delivery. Allow extra time for delivery, or collect in person if timing matters.
Check parking. Check your parking plan before driving over; a recent review reports no parking.
Choose takeaway. Takeaway may be more comfortable than eating in, as outdoor seating has been criticised.
Try tea. For a first order, consider kark tea or fresh milk tea, both specifically praised by customers.
Order chicken. The whole grilled chicken with garlic sauce is a concrete pick if you want a fuller meal.

The Bottom Line
Cup of Tea Cafeteria is a casual Hor Al Anz stop for tea, samosa, shawarma and simple cafeteria meals. The most consistent reasons to consider it are the kark tea, fresh milk tea and samosa, while the spicy shawarma and grilled chicken provide more filling choices. It suits a quick bite or takeaway better than a long sit-down visit.
The food highlights are quite specific. One reviewer called the whole grilled chicken tender and delicious with garlic sauce, and another praised the masala shawaya grilled chicken. The small chicken samosa and potato samosa also receive repeated positive mentions.
A whole grilled chicken was reported at 20 AED in one customer review, though that should not be treated as a current price. Service is the main variable. Some customers describe good food, polite staff and quick delivery, but others report rude or unhelpful interactions.
Delivery has also been markedly late: one order reportedly arrived after 80 minutes instead of 40, with similar complaints elsewhere. If ordering remotely, allow extra time or consider collection. Parking is another practical concern, and one older review found outdoor seating inadequate.
Plan this as a short stop, and check the dish before settling on a larger order, since burnt chicken and heavily spiced curry chicken were also reported.
