With Chai Pani in Asheville, founders Meherwan and Molly Irani created a totally new genre of Indian restaurant by showcasing everyday Indian culture and its underestimated street food. Chai Pani changed the perception of Indian food in America and was named the country's most Outstanding Restaurant by the Beard Foundation in 2022.
This month, they're bringing their magic to Union Market District, helmed by one of the South's most influential chefs (and longtime friend) Vishwesh Bhatt. For nearly 30 years, Vish has preserved the cuisine of the American South. For his boldest step yet, he'll share the food traditions of his home in India. Sign up to be the first to be the first to know when reservations drop!
