About Chai Pani
Chai Pani is an Indian Street Food restaurant that began as a humble, 50-seat restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina in 2009. We’ve since grown to a much larger space in Asheville and opened Chai Panis in Atlanta, GA and Washington, DC, along with 4 locations of our fast-casual concept, Botiwalla.
Chai Pani is the recipient of the James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurant in 2022, and has received six other nominations. We've also received a Zagat award, and multiple publications in Bon Appetit, Saveur, Food & Wine, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, Southern Living, USA Today, and were one of Oprah's Favorite Things.
Chai Pani is slang in India for going out for a cup of tea, a tasty bite, a snack, or “a little something.” For us, it means groundbreaking, fun, affordable, and delicious Indian street food, paired with a passion for making people happy and building connections through good food and compassionate hospitality.
If this sounds like a journey you want to take with us—providing extraordinary hospitality and changing the perception of Indian cuisine in America—we are currently accepting applications for the Chef de Cuisine role at our D.C. location.
