When you’re in the mood for exotic and fresh food under a warm ambiance, Chai Lounge is where it’s at. It is a melting pot of cultures, which shine through the cuisine, atmosphere, and entertainment. Blending savors from Afghanistan, Ancient Persia, and India, your taste buds are sure to be enticed by the fusion of flavours that keep you wanting more.
The menu offered at Chai Lounge is very elaborate, offering different options for a unique dining experience. The “Chai Feast” is the most popular; for only $25, you get a choice of a soup salad, and unlimited entrées. The menu is also very accommodating to those with dietary restrictions. There are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options on most of the dishes. For those tea lovers, there is a separate menu, which offers a wide variety of hot and cold teas and lassies.
Besides the food and drinks, the atmosphere of the restaurant is what makes it so extraordinary. As you walk into Chai Lounge through the front doors, you are immediately exposed to the aroma of spices, Persian carpets, textured wooden pillars, and beautiful artwork.
