Chai Pani brings Indian street food to downtown Decatur, Georgia, prepared by Meherwan Irani, a four-time “James Beard Nominated Chef.” The name of the restaurant means “tea and water” literally, but is Indian slang for “going out for a snack, a cup of tea, or just a “little something.” It can mean a “small bribe” to get a “bite to eat” as well. Chai Pani offers an array of chaat; or brightly flavored, tangy, sweet, spicy, crunchy Indian street snacks; along with thalis, which are traditional family meals that highlight the comfort of home cooking and the culinary diversity of India.
