Husband-and-wife Meherwan and Molly Irani are the duo behind this colorful, hip Indian street food-focused space on West Ponce. The interior space is open and inviting with bright colors and beautiful imagery of real Indian street vendors. The menu is brimming with brightly flavored street snacks, like Bhel Puri, Chaat, Tandoori, and Uttapam, which are savory crepes made with rice and lentil batter. A huge part of Chai Pani is the commitment to the innovation and evolution of food along with sourcing local ingredients. They roast and grind all of their own spice blends, and make all of their chutneys and sauces in-house. Fun Fact: Chai Pani translates to “tea and water” and means a small drink or snack. It’s slang in India for going out for a cup of tea, a tasty bite, a snack, or “a little something.”
