"Chai Pani is no secret, as demonstrated by the maxed-out waitlists almost daily. Get there early and hungry. James Beard Award-winning chef Meherwan Irani brings Indian street food to the heart of downtown Asheville. Chai Pani’s chaats, uttapams, and curries are decadently spiced and fun to eat. The reliable flavors and service cement Chai Pani as an essential restaurant in Asheville." - Kayleigh Ruller
