Couple tries food at Udan Yatri cafe, credits Raghav Chadha for affordable snacks

A video featuring a couple at the Udan Yatri cafe has brought attention to the low prices, with Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha's efforts in making airport food affordable also being highlighted.

For years, flyers have joked that stepping into an airport means stepping into a parallel economy, one where a cup of tea costs more than the flight snack. The newly launched Udan Yatri cafe, however, is trying to rewrite that script and one influencer couple’s video about the cafe has gone viral.

The initiative recently received a viral boost thanks to an Instagram reel by IIT Bombay alumnus Piyush Tripathi. In the clip, as he walks through an airport with his partner, he casually asks, “Samosa khaogi airport par?” (Will you have a samosa at the airport?). He then adds, “Aao chale khilate hai” (Come, let’s go, I’ll get you one), leading her to the Udan Yatri cafe.

After ordering tea and samosas, he playfully asks, “Kiski wajah se hua hai ye?” (Because of whom has this happened?). She promptly replies, “Raghav Chadha.” He continues, “Kaisa lagta hai Raghav Chadha?” (How do you find Raghav Chadha?), to which she smiles and says, “Handsome.”

The caption summed it up neatly: “Expectation: Airport = mehenga (expensive). Reality: Rs 20 samosa + Rs 10 chai (tea). Fact check passed.”
