Kolkata Chai - East Village is a cozy cafe nestled in New York City, where the founders, Ayan & Ani, bring the rich tradition of masala chai from Kolkata to the bustling streets of the East Village. Their mission is simple: to share the authenticity and respect behind a cup of chai with the Western world.

With a focus on quality and tradition, Kolkata Chai sources 100% organic Assam tea from legacy tea estates in India, ensuring a fragrant and robust flavor in every cup. Their chai is made with premium hand-milled spices, carefully blended to create a delightful and aromatic experience for customers.

Visitors to Kolkata Chai can savor not only the best chai in the game but also indulge in egg rolls while enjoying a playlist that seamlessly transitions from Nas to Dil to Pagal Hai. This cafe is a fusion of cultures, where the flavors of Kolkata meet the vibrancy of New York City, creating a unique and welcoming ambiance.
