Our hometown of Asheville, and the entire Western North Carolina region, have been completely devastated by Hurricane Helene. We’re beyond grateful for the outpouring love and support from near and far. Our restaurants will remain closed until water is restored. Many have reached out asking for ways to help. We launched an Asheville Employee Relief Fund to give direct financial assistance to our team members who are temporarily out of work during this time.

关于我们
It all began with a little chaat house in downtown Asheville, NC. In 2009, at the bottom of the great recession, Meherwan and Molly Irani quit their day jobs to open their first restaurant, an Indian street food joint called Chai Pani that was funded by family and friends. On opening day, Chai Pani ran out of food. In 2022, it was named the most Outstanding Restaurant in America. With Chai Pani, the Iranis introduced the American South to the colors, flavors, and soul of India. Totally obsessed with the deliciousness and interactive experience of Indian street food — India’s most democratic, egalitarian, affordable and pan-Indian cuisine — Meherwan wanted to recreate that in his own approachable way. He and his team believe that Indian food is so much more diverse, interesting, unexpected, and personal than a handful of regional cuisines that have been popularized in the U.S. so far. Guests quickly craved the stereotype-shattering food, the kale pakoras and sloppy jais, the drinks and hot chai, and the warm service at Chai Pani. This first-of-its-kind establishment has been recognized as sparking a revolution and changing the perception of Indian food in America. Meherwan and Molly now lead a team of more than 300 across their growing restaurant and spice empire in the South’s most essential culinary cities: Asheville, Atlanta, and Charlotte. Chai Pani Restaurant Group includes Chai Pani Asheville, Chai Pani Decatur, Botiwalla by Chai Pani (Atlanta, Charlotte, and Asheville), and spice brand Spicewalla. Taste & Believe.

Meherwan Irani is in DC representing the Independent Restaurant Coalition. On behalf of the 500,000 independent restaurants in the country, they covered a variety of issues with our US Representatives and Senators ranging from childcare assistance to unchecked credit card swipe fees to fairness and regulation in service charge taxation to delivery app fees and charges. These issues have a far more severe economic impact on independent restaurants that have no collective voice or ability to advocate for themselves. The IRC is and can be that voice - but we need restaurants to officially become members. Imagine walking into a Senator’s office with the power of a voting block of 11 million independent restaurant workers - oh the changes we’d be able to make!

How Meherwan and Molly Irani carefully cultivated everything, everywhere, all at once: Garden & Gun Magazine, LLC has the first look at our new home in Asheville! "Hundred-year-old murals on the rough cinder-block walls, originally painted for the bygone skating rink, depict athletes in motion on skates and horseback, flanked by curtains of red velvet with gold tassels. A brilliant white pergola soaring overhead connects cozy booths below, luxurious swaths of bougainvillea winding their way through the wooden slats. Hand-painted pop-art murals, hand-crafted floral chandeliers, the original 1920s floors—it’s a paradise of texture and color and precision."

Curious about Chai Pani Asheville's upcoming move? Meherwan Irani talks about what our guests can expect when we re-open: "There will be three times the seating — no more two-hour waits! We’ll be able to seat large groups and offer private dining and catering again. A big part of the Chai Pani experience is décor and storytelling and unique experiences. We’re able to lean in even more into décor and artworks. We’ll offer Pani Puri on the weekends and will even have a Bollywood themed bar upstairs."
