Chai Pani - Asheville

Some of the best food of any country is its street food, and Chai Pani features chaat - crunchy, spicy, sweet, tangy, brightly flavored Indian street snacks. And because there's nothing more comforting and delicious in any culture than a home-cooked meal, Chai Pani also brings you thalis - traditional family meals highlighting India's amazing culinary diversity. GQ Magazine lauded our “Indian street food with a twang,” and New York Magazine called us "a star in downtown's dining scene.” Chai Pani's Meherwan Irani has been nominated for James Beard 'Best Chef Southeast' four times, and Chai Pani was named one of the "50 Most Exciting Restaurants" in the US by the New York Times in 2021.
