Chai Pani
Chai Pani literally means “tea and water.” It’s slang in India for going out for a cup of tea, a tasty bite, a snack, or “a little something.” Chai Pani can also mean a small bribe, just enough to get a bite to eat. Well, at Chai Pani Decatur, you won’t have to bribe us for innovative, fun, affordable, and delicious Indian cuisine.
Vibrant colors, Bollywood posters, and chaat – crunchy, spicy, sweet, tangy, brightly flavored Indian street snacks like the beloved SDPD (sev potato dahi puri). Order a few dishes to share at dinner – kale pakoras, butter chicken, saag paneer, matchstick okra fries, daal, naan... All go great with a mango lassi, Lime Rickey, or bottomless chai. The daily lunch buffet is perfect for a first-time visit.
Chai Pani is widely praised in Atlanta and beyond. The restaurant is Michelin Guide recommended and was the James Beard Foundation’s Outstanding Restaurant for 2022. Chef Meherwan Irani is a five-time James Beard nominee, and Chef Sahar Siddiqui was a 2023 James Beard semifinalist. The restaurant is regularly highlighted by food critics and has been featured on Eater.com, Thrillist.com, and in Atlanta Magazine.
