If you frequent the bustling Haji Lane/Arab Street area, you’re probably no stranger to the viral teh tarik spot, Tarik by Ali Redha, serving up affordable and authentic teh tarik drinks that you can have on the go. The folks behind Tarik have just opened a new concept in Bali Lane (near the first outlet) with a very different vibe from the original!
The new Tarik by Ali Redha is more of an elevated café and tea bar experience, with an aesthetic rustic and industrial-inspired sit down space for you to enjoy a leisurely tea affair. The tea bar’s offerings are also vastly different from the original outlet, with a focus on specialty black teas, instead of milk tea (though milk will be given separately on request).
What’s unique about the tea made at Tarik is that each order is specially brewed to order using siphon machines, and the individual siphon pot is brought to your table (with the fire still lit), so you can have your tea always warm. The teas are also served along with a side of complimentary sweet dried dates.
Popular tea options on the menu include The Masala (from $7.80), The Lavender (from $7.80), The Hibiscus ($7.80) and more. Coffee options like The Saffron (from $7.90), The Cinnamon (from $9.50) and the Qahwa ($9.80) are also available. Most teas and coffees are available in both hot and iced variations, and you’ll be given a candy sugar stick to sweeten your drink if you wish.
The space is dimly lit with warm lighting, making it very welcoming (and IG-worthy) indeed, and if you’re a true tea lover, you’ll definitely enjoy the lazy and moody vibe here. Even the toilet is super aesthetic—great for mirror selfies maybe? Seats are pretty limited, with only a couple of communal wall seating indoors and several outdoor tables.
