Chai Pani Restaurant Group is a popular and highly recommended dining destination. The food is consistently described as absolutely delicious, excellent, very good, amazing, and top notch. Specific highlights include the SPDP, Vada paav, fried okra, butter chicken, cheese uttapam, paani puri, tandoori chicken, iced chai, and the Baby Tiger drink. The service is outstanding, fast, and professional, with servers noted for being patient, nice, and helpful in guiding choices. The ambiance is beautiful, great, and much different than typical, with enjoyable designs and art. Due to its popularity, there is often a wait list to get in, even on weekdays and with seemingly empty tables, so guests should be prepared to put their name in. People line up before opening, and waiting at the bar next door is common. The restaurant is good for fast and casual dine-in as well as for larger groups. While the naan reminded one guest of a grocery store version, the overall experience is considered Asheville's best in dining and a favorite restaurant, with many expressing a desire to return frequently. Happy dining.
Amazing all you can eat Buffet. Choice of rice, 3 main dishes, 3 sides, bread, and different Chutneys, plus dessert.

Beautiful restaurant! The food and drinks were pretty good with the exception of the naan. It reminded me of the packaged naan you can get in the grocery store. Everything else was delicious.
