Chai Shai

Hands down, Chai Shai is one of my favorite restaurants. Nestled in Brookside, the bold tastes of the food coupled with the courteous owner and quaint space makes it one of Kansas City's hidden gems. Add it to your list of places to try - you won't be disappointed!

This was our first time having Chai Shai and they did not disappoint!! Everything was beyond delicious and the staff was so accommodating with recommendations! They even wrote us a note saying that they hoped we enjoyed our first meal with them! Such a wonderful experience!

Great little place for desi food.

One word, flavorful.

Cons:
A little pricey, but if you like the quality stuff, you pay a bit extra.
Very little signage outside.

Lemonade was phenomenal. Aaloo samosa was out of this world. All in all, “They Know What They Are Doing”.

Highly recommended and we will definitely come again.

Beautifully presented food. Less menu items and no fuss. As Pakistani i loved the Pakistani food and their presentation style, may be restaurants in Pakistan may learn from them and catch up. The owner was very courteous. My only criticism was the Kashmiri tea was not good tasting. Please work on that.

One of my favorite places. The owner is always so hospitable. Chai Shai really allows you to enjoy unique flavors with great spices. Vegetarian Samosas have super fresh vegetable filling and the fried texture is perfect. My husband and I shared the Indian omelette and the Special, as pictured. The bread that comes with the omelette was amazing! I recommend a cup of black chai with your meal! Not too sweet.
