"Every single dish at Decatur's Chai Pani could compete for best bite of the night—even the free pani puri they offer as you wait for a table (they don’t take reservations). And the kale pakoras fried with a light curried chickpea batter, saag paneer doused in a warm garam marsala, and incredible butter chicken are all dishes that’ll make you wonder if you’ll ever taste a better version in the city. You won’t. Doesn't matter if you stop by their daily lunch buffet ($21 on weekends, $17 on weekdays) or their la carte dinner. The experience is always great, and the place is always lively. Just soak in the dining room’s kaleidoscope of colors, from string lights to bright orange garlands strung from every surface. And breathe easy knowing whatever winds up on your table will be excellent." - juli horsford, jacinta howard, nina reeder
