wow i am yearning for the day i can come back and try more from this menu! this place is always booked and busy so my brother and i made a visit first thing they opened for lunch. our server was amazing and his recommendation for the kale pakora chaat for an app and the bhapa doi for dessert were 10/10. a party of 2 is not enough people to fully explore the menu. we were so stuffed after sharing an app, 2 entrees, and a dessert. i am so excited to come back. it's so cute in here and i had such an amazing time.
The atmosphere here is 10/10. If you are having a bad day, make a reservation here, and your mood will instantly be lifted. The vibrant colors and music are tastefully intense. Indian street food is one of my favorite cuisines. I fell in love when the first wave of this type of restaurant hit the West Coast -- Bollywood Theater (Portland) and DOSA (SF- RIP). Chai Pani is a more Gen Z version of those restaurants. The menu has all of the classics, and you'll want to order everything (but don't, because the food is very rich). We enjoyed all of the chaats we ordered, the Disco bhel being my favorite. The one main we shared, lentil dahl, was so spicy it was hard to eat. It was absolutely local Thai or local Indian spicy. I've lived in Asia and eaten all the street foods, and this was in the top 10 spiciest things I've eaten. The carrot halwa dessert was fantastic, so don't skip dessert even if you're full. While I didn't think the food was leagues above similar options that are already available, the vibe of the restaurant makes it worth a visit!
I'd honestly rate chai pani at a 3.5/5! I would definitely come back and get the disco bhel, summer veg uttapam, vada pav & mango lassi. my friends really liked the paneer entree & gulab jamun as well! definitely recommend making a reservation as it can get busier, especially close to dinner time! there's a decent amount of sitting inside and the decorations are so cute!! the SPDP was good and unique but a bit too yogurt-y. the chili chicken was definitely a miss as it was overly salty and lacked the "indi chinese" flavor. the uttapam was amazing but definitely heavy on the corn, so would not recommend if you don't love corn. our waitress was nice, but she didn't check up on us and kept having to flag her down to order items or get the check which was a bit odd as it wasn't overly busy!
There's no other way to say it... this restaurant SLAPPED! I absolutely loved our experience here and would highly recommend it. Starting off with the best part of the night: the service! Our waitress Ariana was kind, attentive, and hilarious. She gave great recommendations and kept us laughing all night. The food rocked! I loved the kale chaat, the kfc sandwich, and the parle g ice cream. Some of the dishes, like the butter chicken and paneer, were good too - pricier than what you'd get at an Indian takeout place, but still tasty if not a tad bland. The interior is GORGEOUS! I love the flowers everywhere. Check this place out!
Just walking up to this place, it was absolutely adorable with all the flowers and charming atmosphere. Inside, the music wasn't too loud, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. I definitely recommend making a reservation. We didn't have one, so we were offered a seat at the common table or outside. Since it was a beautiful day, we chose to sit outside. Our server was training someone, and they were both fantastic. They gave great recommendations and were attentive throughout the meal. The food came out at the perfect pace, and everything was delicious. We shared two small plates, along with the fried chicken sliders and the butter chicken. The butter chicken had the perfect amount of spice and was incredibly flavorful. There were two of us, and sharing four dishes was just the right amount of food. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!
When I first laid eyes on Chai Pani, which is located right next to Union Market, I knew I had to go. The space is so colorful and vibrant, it beckons you in. We made a lunch reservation on OpenTable and made our way to the highly anticipated Chai Pani. Once we were seated, the waitress greeted us and asked if we had dined at Chai Pani before. Since it was our first time, she gave us an overview and explained that the dishes are great for sharing. They also had some specials - the magic masala tomato chaat and grilled swordfish were being featured. We started with the kale pakora chaat ($15) and SPDP ($13). We loved the kale pakora chaat! My standard for a kale chaat is Rasika's signature palak chaat. Chai Pani's kale chaat holds their own. This chaat is more frittery than loose kale pieces, which made it easier to serve and share with the group. The flavor and texture were on point. The addition of the grapes and melon seeds gave the dish more sweetness, freshness, and great presentation. I would definitely order this again. The SPDP (puffed puris) were yogurt-laden, which made them less appealing. When they were brought to the table, the waiter instructed us that they are meant to be eaten in one bite. I appreciate the instruction, but the puris are a little big (it would be easier to eat in two bites). I didn't really taste the other ingredients other than the puri shell overloaded with yogurt. For the entrees, we ordered the butter chicken ($22) and lamb kala masala ($34). Both came with a small bowl of jeera rice. The lamb shank was excellent! I've had the lamb shank at the Michelin-rated Rania, and Chai Pani's lamb shank is better! The meat was tender and moist. It fell off the bone - always a sign of great cooking. The butter chicken was solid but was not a standout dish. This curry definitely had some heat to it, but the portion felt small for the price. It had a smoky flavor to it and used white breast meat, so it was on the dry side. We also got a side of naan which was pretty standard but great for sopping up the curry. Service was kind and bubbly. It started out strong, but it waned as the meal went on. We were checked on when the starters came out, but not necessarily checked on when the mains came out. She was knowledgeable of the menu and did check if we wanted to order any more drinks. The table was set with a water carafe, so we were able to take care of our own water cup refills. Bottom line - I would come back here again. I think the chaats and street food dishes are where Chai Pani really shines, and the lively, upbeat ambiance adds to the enjoyment. Chai Pani is a lovely addition to the Union Market neighborhood - definitely check it out!
Had dinner here while visiting DC. I was very surprised at how good everything we ordered was and that it had a great taste. The butter chicken was particularly good. We had reservations which are highly recommendeded and got seated immediately. The drink and food menu selection is great, and service is friendly and fast. Dine in area is nice with colorful decor. Overall, we had an excellent experience.
The ambiance and decor is truly breathtaking, from the outside to the inside! Food is absolutely amazing and is served family style, a great way to try multiple things. Service was also great, our waitress was super friendly and gave us suggestions! Definitely a must visit, I'll be back!
Upscale, elevated Indian street food with some fusion twists. The menu is varied and there's a little something for everyone. I had the lamb chop which was a very sizable portion! Servers were nice and helpful with the menu, although another staff member bringing drinks to a nearby table accidentally spilled one all over my friend's foot. No harm done but they also didn't acknowledge the accident and barely offered to help until we asked for some napkins.
Very cute restaurant. Lots of indoor seating. ADA accessible with ramp. Vibrant decoration of Indian culture (beautifully done). The prices for food were slightly higher. The food was good. For someone who doesn't handle spice well it was a good amount. The butter chicken my friend ordered had more lemon than tomato acidity. The pan puri had so much yogurt we could barely taste the other ingredients... They took while to bring us naan. Don't think I'd come back though. The service was sweet.
My husband & I stopped by Chai Paani in the Union market area during our trip to DC. The restaurant is conveniently located in the middle of a bustling neighborhood. We were promptly greeted & seated since we made a reservation prior to showing up at the restaurant. However, walk-ins do have to wait for a bit before being seated (because of how popular and crowded this restaurant is). I cannot say enough good things about the food, it took me right back to my time in India. All the flavors were authentic & hit the right spots! I wish I lived in DC so I could come here often!!!!
Finally got a chance to eat here! The space is BEAUTIFUL! Very thoughtful and intentional with the design. You walk in and it smells delicious, getting you ready for an amazing meal. Definitely recommend making a reservation. We walked in and got lucky to have two seats at the bar available for us, but don't risk it like us. We ordered the aloo tikki chaat and disco bhel to start. The aloo tikki chaat was amazing! So flavorful. We then shared the lamb which was incredible. The meat literally fell off the bone. I had a mango lassi on the side to balance the spice, which I recommend. And to end the night, we had to order the gulab jamun. Amazing!!! Ugh the warmth and sweetness is exactly what we needed. Amazing meal, can't wait to come back and try more from the menu!
In-FREAKING-credible! You may have read my poor experience at an Indian restaurant the other day, but this restaurant more than makes up for it. My friend and I dined here after abandoning two other Indian spots in Noma as options. This place was eye-catching from a block and half away, humongous, like a warehouse, tall, festooned with color and visual tour de force. The service was phenomenal. The host, our server, the other servers, the food deliverer--every single one happy, friendly, conversational, and warm. They seem to love their job and want to share their energy with guests. The appetizer was a large portion of the sabudana vada tots, which were deep-fried tapioca root vegetable pearls with green chiles, served with a delicous tangy-sweet dip. SO SO AMAZING. Not a 5/5, a 10 of a 5. I can't explain my logic. We were also thoroughly impressed with the two utthapams we ordered: one mushroom and one cheese. The portions were huge, every bite as amazing as the last. The dipping sauces (coconut chutney and cilantro chutney) were described when delivered and tasted fabulous. The vibe. The ambiance. The food. Chef's kiss. Home-freaking-run! I will come back a thousand times. You oughta too.
Chai Pani is an experience and an interesting take on Indian food. It starts when you see the restaurant, you can't miss it. Loud, colorful, taking up space in an otherwise standard block of the Union Market area. Before you even walk in you'll find a large covered outdoor area with decorated swings for those who like a fun photo opportunity. When you actually step inside it feels like you've just stepped into another world entirely. Colorful, hurried, loud, just like how I'd imagine a festive street in India to be. While we waited for our table, we indulged in the Pani Puri cart, which anyone can enjoy, reservation or not. It's $10 a plate but it's a fun and a unique experience not typically offered on this side of the world so I recommend trying it. There were people who had already been back a couple of times (in the week since it opened!) just for the cart, so it's a way to experience the restaurant even without a reservation. I think they could use a bit more clear/posted instructions... maybe a fun sign outlining the steps for the cart, how you need a token for $10, you can either take your Pani puri one by one or altogether, it's not a menu item, etc. I watched the staff explaining this to guests over and over (and felt for them!) as it's not super intuitive for people not used to it. The service was great, fantastic, and personal. The owners have clearly put a lot of effort into curating this unique experience, and it's very clear that they care about how people are enjoying it, personally coming to say hi to guests and treat them when needed. Every single person there was accommodating and hospitable which is a staple attribute of South Asian culture. In terms of the food, the matchstick okra fries, the kale pakora chaat, Parsi shrimp, and lamb masala dishes were standouts. The menu clearly tells a story of the chef's upbringing, which offers something different than standard Indian fare... I can definitely see why so many awards have been given. As others have noted, it seems that they are still working out a way to keep reservations on time. We had a reservation at 7:15 and were seated ~7:45. I mention this to recommend building in some wait time into your plans. The service really made up for any long wait times and it's worth giving them grace for this since they just opened. Thank you to Molly and the team for making us feel welcome and cared for :) read more

I cannot overstate what a fun experience this is for all of your senses. The sounds, sights, colors, size expanse of the space is a feast for the eyes. The staff is lovely, especially the greeter at the front who is so warm and Friend. The food is delicious their menu as well explained. The drinks are fabulous. And around the restaurant is some of the best shopping you will find worth the trip. The staff is lovely -especially the greeter at the front who is so warm and friendly read more
KenScale: 7.5/10 Visit: February 2026 My wife Jun and I are always eager to check out new Indian restaurants around where we live, so I was super excited to hear last year about the opening of a DC branch of Chai Pani. The restaurant, based in Asheville, North Carolina, winning the Outstanding Restaurant award at James Beard Award a few years certainly opened my eyes at the time, and I couldn't wait to check out the Indian street food-inspired dishes from the DC branch, located in the increasingly crowded (restaurant-wise) Union Market. Jun and I have rarely had a bad Indian dining experience in our culinary journey together, but Chai Pani unfortunately fell short of our sky-high expectations. The chaat section of Chai Pani features a variety of street food dishes with fried ingredients. Jun's general impression of the dishes we tried was that, after a few delicious bites, they became overpowering with flavor, almost to the point that her tongue got numb. The SPDP, a toasted puffed up puris flatbread stuffed with potato, red onion and cilantro, raised our anticipation at first but by the time we got to the third bite, the seasoning from sweet yogurt, tamarind and green chutneys became almost oppressive. Same for the kale fritter chaat that was described by the restaurant as "iconic" in its menu; knowing how much we enjoyed kale-based chaat at other places like Rasika, we wished we had enjoyed the version from Chai Pani more. The okra fries, tossed with salt and seasoning, were surprisingly pedestrian (despite the menu's colorful description of "okra like you've never had it"). For the larger dishes, the tamarind-glazed pork ribs braised with ginger, garlic, soy and star anise were delicious but again the tamarind-ginger glaze required us to eat a decent amount of rice to compensate for the aggressive flavor. On the other hand, the slow braised lamb shank in a blackened onion masala with green chili was somewhat muted in the flavor by comparison; it might've neutralized all the overwhelming flavor from the other dishes but I couldn't say it was on its own a standout dish that we would be happy to come back for. Not surprisingly, thanks to its profile and the general love for buzzy Indian restaurants in the DC metro area, Chai Pani has become one of the harder tables to get a reservation, especially during primetime weekends. As we headed to the restaurant, Jun and I encountered a line of people who didn't have reservations to try their luck at the bar or walk-in tables. The bright dining room with various objects inspired by Indian street food culture seems to be another attraction to the eager diners, but the visual sensory overload further added to our disorientation from the food. We were also somewhat confused that our server would bring dishes in the order they were prepared so we got the larger lamb shank much earlier along with a few chaats. There is full bar with cocktails inspired by Indian ingredients; you will certainly need one or two drinks to calm down your palate. If you are looking for a fun dining environment with friends and family, Chai Pani may fit the bill. As it comes to whether Jun and I would be back for the food, we were not sure after drinking copious amount of water on our way back home. read more

I've been trying for a month to snag a reservation with no success so I decided to try takeout. The takeout menu is a lot smaller but there's still a good variety of items to choose from. Not to be basic, but I really enjoyed the butter chicken. I'd highly recommend getting a side of their fluffy naan bread to dip into the sauce. The wild mushroom uttapam was fine but I felt like I couldn't really taste the mushrooms? And the mango lassi was a nice refreshingly fruity way to cut through the heaviness of the whole meal. It was a little pricier than I would've liked but I'd probably still order from here again or try to eat at the actual restaurant. read more
I heard great things about Chai Pani, the hot new Indian restaurant in Union Market area, so I was excited to visit. It was very good overall. I stopped by on a Tuesday night at 6 PM with a reservation. A handful of tables were full, and it got busier later. The space has some very fun, colorful, maximalist decorations, both inside and out. I liked it a lot -- it was a mix of fun, friendly, trendy, and kind of upscale. I wish they put as much effort into the tables (felt like cheap diner-style tables), napkins (paper), and menus (also paper). I know they are a pretty casual restaurant that takes inspiration from Indian street food, but I wish these were a little nicer. They felt cheap. Tables were also spaced pretty close together. We tried the Pani Puri Martini and Jeera Cup ($16 each) which were both tasty cocktails. The martini was pretty savory; I liked how different it was from your typical cocktail. The Jeera Cup also had a nice, different flavor (which I can't quite place) that I liked. We had five dishes and they were all delivered very quickly and about at the same time. The Disco Bhel ($14) was a typical bhel puri, which meant I liked it a lot. The mound of ingredients was a bit difficult to serve without spilling on the table. I liked the Okra Fries ($13) because they were very crispy and heavily seasoned, but they also could have been just about any fried vegetable. The Wild Mushroom Uttapam ($18, two to an order) was a new dish for me. It was described as a "savory griddled pancake" so I expected it to be a bit more like bread, but the soft dough didn't really remind me of bread or pancakes -- maybe an undercooked pancake. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't get it again. The Beef Bihari Kebab ($26) was excellent and gives the kebabs at nearby Yellow a run for their money. It was very tender and with strong seasoning. A disappointment was the Vada Pav ($16, two to an order) which was rather bland and boring. It's one of their signature dishes, but I don't recommend it. This was a little bit more than enough food for two people. Service was friendly and talked through the menu with us. I would definitely return to try other dishes. read more
This was my second time at Chai Pani. The restaurant is even more gorgeous than the first time I went and the service was wonderful. The SPDP remained the standout item. I tried the aloo chaat this time, and it has the same issue I've had with their other "spicy" dishes, which is that the heat level is 0 even though we asked for it to be spicy. It's still good and I enjoyed it. But even a little bit of heat would have improved it so, so much. The chai was also very weak. The shahi tukda, on the other hand, was a wonderful dessert! Like a wonderful toast/cake hybrid, cooked in ghee, served with creme anglais - really lovely, warming stuff. I'm sure I'll be back for more chaat and SPDP, but the lack of spice does bother me quite a bit. Still, very solid, tasty food in a gorgeous setting with good portions and great service will always make me happy. read more
I've been to Chai Pani four times since it opened. Everything is a win. The chai, the food, the service, everything is amazing. My only complaint is that they can get really busy and it's hard to grab a server half the time. I ordered chai on my most recent visit and it never was refilled. However, that won't stop me from coming back. It's a gorgeous place and I've loved everything I've eaten on the menu. read more

I'd heard great things about Chai Pani, so I was excited to be invited to a dinner here. We had a group of 10, and the service was incredible. I asked the waitress for a non-alcoholic drink option, and she recommended the Jal Jeera. The drink was savory and spicy, I have never had anything like it, it was very good. The food came out quickly for our table and everything was fresh. We ordered a bunch of items to share, and they portions were very shareable. All the food was incredible and had so much flavor. Some of my favorite items were the Lamb Kala Masala, Chili chicken, and Desi tres leeches. Last but not least, the restaurant is beautifully decorated, so you can get plenty of good pictures. Highly recommend trying if you are in the Union Market area. read more

Went there for a work lunch and the decor and vibes were amazing and beautiful. The servers were very nice, professional, and even knew some sign language, which I really appreciated. I ordered the SPDP appetizer and it was so good! Then I had the Vada Pav -- a delicious and perfect sandwich filled with potato and flavorful spices. Everything was tasty. I will definitely bring my friends here to check it out! read more

I went to Chai Pani and really liked the vibes. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt cool and vibrant. It had a fun energy without being overwhelming, and the space just felt lively and colorful in a really welcoming way. I ordered the butter chicken and it was great. It was flavorful and super satisfying. The garlic naan was also really good and paired perfectly with it. Everything felt well made and comforting. Overall, it kind of felt like a really good date spot. The ambience sets the tone, and the food makes it easy to enjoy the night. I'd definitely go back. read more
I recently took my team to Chai Pani for dinner. My wife has been raving about this place since it opened. We did not have a reservation but we were able to get a seat at the bar. They have a great team of hosts/bar tenders. I had a great experience. We started with the cheese uttapam and sweet potato. The sweet potato dish was on the saltier side. Once we got the lamb dish I mixed the rice, lamb and sweet potato together and it was perfect. The lamb was a bit under seasoned so I balanced it out. The KFC sandwich definitely stole the show. I look forward to going back. read more
What a swinging spot! As soon as I walked in, the decor and music gave it such a fun party vibe. I quickly got a seat at the bar but it looked packed and reservations are advised. The bartender/server was really nice. She gave good recommendations and guidance on the menu. I got two chaats for and that was filling enough for me. Fried okra was very light though so might have been better to get another dish if you want a bigger meal. My one small peeve is that I wished the iced chai was bottomless like the hot chai is. Some of us like our cold drinks better!!!! read more

4 of us went for brunch on Sunday. The place is packed and usually has a waiting list so glad we had reservations. Our server, Chris was very attentive and polite. We tried a bunch of things but the SPDP, vada pav and bhel was the pick of the lot! The decor can be little overwhelming but they have spared on effort on the ambiance. Love the pictures on the walls showing rural India. read more
Loved the vibe here. We wandered in tonight and the staff were so accommodating to seat us without a reservation. The decor is stunning inside and the food was wonderful. Def a good dinner spot when you're in union market and very convenient to get to. read more
fun and delicious meal, go with friends to try as much as possible. mango lassi is great, subtle cardamom hints. cocktails were decent some interesting ones on the menu. for food - standouts were the okra fries, sloppy jai, chaat. kfc, butter chicken, vada tots were also good. wouldn't order the naan. desserts were also nice and a light ending to the meal read more
What STUNNING decor inside and out. So vibrant and fun! My husband, friend and I had a reservation and were seated immediately. Service was good throughout--each dish was brought as it was ready. The standouts for our group was the gin rickey (with raspberry), the paneer from the grill and the sloppy Jai. The old fashioned wasn't balanced, and the okra fries while good isn't something I need to eat again. Would love to come back! read more

Dare I say this is the best Indian food in DC? I've been to the location in Asheville and was so excited when I heard they were coming here. The food was incredible, well-priced, and the service was outstanding. Every dish we tried was amazing, but the standouts were the butter chicken and the kale dish -- both were absolute favorites! read more
the interior and overall design is amazing and colorful, clearly well thought out! for our large party of 7, we were seated at a "community table" and informed upon seating that we would probably be sharing with other guests which was fine! our server had frazzled and fun energy, very friendly and accommodating. when asked about her recommendations she did proceed to list every menu item in descending order LOL but she was able to guide us as we proceeded to over-order for our party. :) we particularly enjoyed their lighter and fresh dishes such as the SPDP (i can't remember the name but it was the pani puri) and we also ordered the disco bhel which was great! i LOVED the kale pakora and would order again if i returned. we also liked the desi salad a lot!! the fried okra as well had a satisfying crunch. i also quite enjoyed the parsi shrimp patia things that were just ok and could pass on next time in order to try other dishes: KFC slider, sloppy jai (lamb slider), chili chicken, spare ribs, butter chicken, cheese uttapam. none of these things were BAD but like i said i would rather try other things next time! the drinks were also great! we liked the chai and mango lassi. i think some of the drinks have a clove/cardamom-y spice if that's something you care about. towards the end of the night there was a weird hiccup with our table but we were comped with free dessert and a round of mango lassis! which was so nice!! i normally don't like gulab jamun but theirs was not so floral tasting and less sweet which i liked. their parle-g ice cream was sooo good and paired so well with the gulab jamun. i would probably pass on the bhapa doi next time - i was so full and it was a little too heavy and yogurty. overall a good dinner out with friends! and also free parking by the f1 arcade for 3 hours so easy to make the trip in from the burbs. :) read more

I was so excited to hear this legendary Indian spot was coming to DC. The decor is loud and bright, in the best way, and the service was quick and attentive. I appreciated all the menus for various dietary restrictions - even including a Jain menu, which you don't see very often! Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to expectations. The okra fries were yummy, but I would've liked something to dip them in, and the everything dal was just okay. My favorite thing that we ate was the paneer - so delicious and well-seasoned. I ordered the lemongrass g&t but had to send it back because it was so sweet. I'm willing to try it again, but it missed the mark a bit. read more

This new outpost in DC for Asheville's Chai Panni serves excellent Indian food with a big selection focusing on Indian street food. Having been to the original location, I think the taste and quality of the food was retained in this new location. The pace at which the food comes out is veey quick which is great if you are in a rush. Would recommend ordering things in batches rather than everything at the start. This allows you to pace things based on how you eat and also prevents you from ordering too much. read more

Really fun designs coming out of this restaurant, I was first attracted to how they have made that a really distinct quality of their restaurant. And seeing their merchandise and the personal custom touches they put into the restaurant. This level of dedication to detail speaks a lot about a restaurant as well, and I imagine their food to carry that same level of elevation and sophistication. Indian food has a wide range of complexities in terms of ingredients, but also in terms of spices and preparations, so I hope to dine at Chai Pani one day! This review is about their Pani Puri pop up! They have that system on lock! The pani puri was prepared fresh, with them just popping the pani just as you walk up to the stand and stuffing it with this incredible spiced potato filling. The sauce was drinkable. And we definitely took generous gulps. The toppings offered a bright and punchy flavor to each bite, and I was so happy to find this dish since its so popular and loved. My recommendation would be to serve this in a bowl instead since we were kind of sloshing the plate around trying to find a place to sit. I want to reserve all the puri we can. Because the system is on lock, they get to go through a lot of customer orders in a fixed amount of time, so although there is always a long line when i see Chai Pani's pani puri pop up, its not long. read more

Worst butter chicken I've ever had, the curry literally tasted burnt like maybe it could've been reheated or something but it was honestly inedible and I was on a time crunch so didn't even bother returning it back to the kitchen, never had curry that literally tasted like burnt toast, the only plus was my friends ordered the lamb shank masala and the shrimp patsi so I tasted each of theirs and those were fine, but I was very disappointed with my dish, the mango lassi was just ok, when spending over $30 I expect my food to be good and made right, not burnt, service was cool, couldve been checked on more often tbh, and the restaurant was decorated nice, very chill atmosphere and ambience . read more

Yes, the reservation is hard to get but it is so worth it. I've only been to India twice, and can't comment on authenticity but I can tell you the food is delicious. Loads of flavor and tasty combinations. Drinks for us were a Miss but everything else was delicious. read more
