Chai Pani
Indian street food at its best: that's the intriguing concept behind Chai Pani. And I promise the fare here will not make you feel bloated and 'nap-ready' as happens at so many other Indian restaurants in the South. The husband-and-wife team behind Chai Pani work with only the freshest of ingredients, which translates into meals that are packed with high-wattage flavor. Named one of the "Top 10 Cheap Eats in the US" by Huffington Post, the downtown location of Chai Pani is often crowded, but don’t let that keep you away. Since the food is all based on meals that are whipped up on the street corners of India in minutes, service is super-speedy. Be sure to try the bhel puri, an addictive mix of puffed rice and chickpea noodles in a tangy tamarind chutney.
