Authentic masala chai, oat milk soft serve, breakfast parathas
"In line with its spare menu of breakfast parathas, egg rolls, and hot and cold chai, Kolkata Chai Co. also offers chai soft serve, full-flavored, rich, only slightly sweet, and tasting of cardamom. There is outdoor seating on a quiet East Village street, a real boon in summer." - John Tsung, Eater Staff
"In 2019, brothers Ayan and Ani Sanyal followed through on their mission to bring “authenticity, respect and tradition” to masala chai in NYC with the opening of a small shop in the East Village. Their chai is a flavorful blend of organic Assam black tea, whole or oat milk, and aromatics like fresh ginger, rose petals, cloves, and peppercorn. It presents a sweet counterpoint to their savory samosas and breakfast paratha filled with eggs, amul cheese, tomato jam. The chai oat milk soft serve is another reason to head there." - Caroline Shin
