Description

Chai Pani is slang in India for going out for a cup of tea, a tasty bite, a snack, or "a little something." For us, it means groundbreaking, fun, affordable, and delicious Indian street food, paired with a passion for making people happy and building connections through good food and compassionate hospitality.

Our restaurant group has received seven James Beard nominations, and Chai Pani Asheville WON for Outstanding Restaurant in 2022. We've also received a Zagat award, recipes published in Bon Appetit, Saveur, Food & Wine, write-ups in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Local Palate, The Huffington Post, Southern Living, USA Today, and were one of Oprah's Favorite things.
