Boasting one of the most expansive chai programs in the entire world, Chicago's Chiya Chai offers a vast selection of Chai ranging from classic to exotic, with spices sourced directly from Nepal, India and nearby regions. Backed by two husband-and-wife teams, Chiya Chai originated from the owners' deep family history of tea merchants, who were one of the first to export Nepalese tea to the outside world. In addition to over 150 possible combinations of chai, the café and eatery offers Nepali and Indian influenced fare, all handmade with love, including savory pies, MoMo dumplings and curries, as well as a bespoke cocktail program specially designed to showcase a variety of aromatic and exotic spices in combination with tea and other ingredients.
