Chai Pani Asheville

We ordered the paneer saag thali and zucchini uttapam. Also had the pineapple turmeric soda. The soda was good and refreshing.The paneer spaghetti was tasty on the thali. However it should have had one more chapati on the plate. The uttapam should have had grated veggies and not chunks. The quantity of sambhar was not enough for the uttapam. Staff was polite and very helpful. The ambience of the place is great.

Every dish is very tasteful. The thali reminds you of home cooked meal. The tandoori chicken is not your traditional but the ghee drizzle + perfect marinade makes it amazing. The fried okra was one of the best we have had in a while and the highlight/ surprise was the live pani puri stall (only friday / saturday). Drinks were really good. Overall fantastic experience. Only negative is their restroom scene. They only have two stalls and when on weekends the place is packed and you have a 90-120 mins wait, don’t be surprised if you have 20 mins to just get a stall.

Easily one of the top five meals I’ve had in my life. The most flavorful, fresh and interesting dishes. We sat at the bar, the bartender was lovely and helpful. My favorite dish was the disco bhel and the eggplant dip whose name escapes me. The kabob was delicious and so were the green pancakes. The place itself is a feast for the eyes and then the dishes and drinks come out, one more beautiful than the last. I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to go back.

Spent 2 days in Asheville and ended up eating at Chai Pani twice. Both meals were outstanding. Service was excellent throughout, with Morgan and Elise being especially attentive and welcoming. The food was genuinely authentic, the kind of meal that instantly takes you back home and tastes like it came straight out of your mom’s kitchen. The atmosphere was equally impressive. They captured the spirit and energy of India perfectly and you can tell a lot of care went into every detail. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!

We visited from Greenville, SC and this was honestly one of the best food experiences we've ever had!! Every staff that we interacted with were super friendly and made us feel so welcomed. While waiting to get into the restaurant, we were given complimentary chai and mango lassi. Both were delicious! We ordered the SPDP, cheese uttapam, paneer tikka, beef bihari kebab, gulab jamun, and cardamom ice cream. Every bite was fantastic, and I felt pure bliss. I can't wait to come back and try more menu items! Highly recommend to everyone to come here if you love good food with a pretty atmosphere and friendly people.
