    Food was amazing and fast. Service was top tier! We had lunch. I had chowder soup to start, followed by turkey sandwich with a side of honey glazed carrots. My husband had the chicken parmigiana. We would definitely eat there again.

    These people are hospitality professionals and it shows! We had a wonderful evening at Chai Pani. The service and atmosphere are fantastic. The sabudana tots, vada pau, masala coke, and mawa cake were delicious - and the surprise hit of the night was the desi salad. Who knew a cabbage based salad could be so delicious.

    Had a fantastic experience at the Hamilton front bar! Roman was attentive, engaging, and genuinely made the experience that much better. Great service, great conversation, and an overall welcoming atmosphere. It’s always nice when someone goes beyond simply taking your order and makes you feel welcomed and taken care of. Roman definitely delivered. Ask for him when you visit!
