East Village Cafe Kolkata Chai Opens With Menu of Masala Chai - Eater NY
"The flagship item at cafe, named for their parents’ hometown in eastern India, is the masala chai, which Ayan makes in small batches by boiling fresh ginger, cardamom, and spices with Assam black tea and adding whole milk. It’s more in line with what a New Yorker might find at Indian restaurants in Manhattan and Queens than at hip coffee shops or grocery stores." - Serena Dai
