Cupsnchai – Indian
Steaming mugs of aromatic South Asian chai and velvety lattes anchor this vibrant space, where the air is thick with the comforting scent of warming spices and toasted flatbreads. The kitchen turns out golden-brown Kati rolls and savory Lahori chicken melts that offer a bold, spicy contrast to the delicate sweetness of chilled Kheer and colorful fruit refreshers. It is a soulful retreat that bridges the gap between traditional tea-stall culture and the sleek, inviting comfort of a modern neighborhood cafe.
