Chai Pani is an Indian street food restaurant based in Asheville, North Carolina, and the 2022 winner of the James Beard Foundation Award for "Outstanding Restaurant".[1] It was founded in 2009 by chef Meherwan Irani and his wife Molly.[1][2] They opened a second location in Decatur, Georgia in March 2013, which first copied the original's menu but now focuses on the cuisine of India's Deccan Plateau, where Meherwan spent his childhood.[3]
