"Rating: 4.5 stars (rounded up to 5) the ambiente: not a white tablecloth, but still classic. the service: quite on the point, although we had some difficulty getting the attention of the server when we spoon for a few dishes that we wanted to share. food: well prepared and delicious. the heat was ripped off a fair piece, probably better fit the local palette, and the sweet one was a tad higher than what you would have india. you come to the sister restaurant of a james beard prize winner with high expectations. While I had no complaints about eating, I did not find that the dishes were a lot of a swirl or especially inventive. While this type of Indian restaurant that has a certain focus on street food can be a novelty in the ATL area, this is not so much a novelty from global perspective. most courts were good. the two were the naan (I had better in many Indian restaurants) and the gulab jamun (absolutely sweet). the judgment: if they serve Indian food that is skillfully cooked and delicious, that is great! if they are looking for an inventive Indian food, then this will not fulfill this expectation."

A nice Indian restaurant in Decatur. The location is great. Parking is a bit of an issue. I love the live pani puri counter.

Beautiful spot with a delicious lunch buffet, ample seating, and an outdoor patio for warmer months. Fresh chai on the buffet, too. :

I traveled all the way from Michigan just to eat at this restaurant! It is my favorite Indian food in the world. Even if you never thought you liked Indian food, this place is a must-try. It is absolutely delicious and worth dying for! View menu

A buffet with bright pleasant surroundings. Pleasant cheerful employees most of all the Indian food was excellent! Water and hot chai was included in price [the price was reasonable for an all you can eat buffet]. Enjoyed the experience, being the first time!

Chai Pani is one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. They have evolved their menu over the years, but the deliciousness remains constant (although I do miss the Thali). Every dish I've tried, from the desi salad to the kale pakoras to the goan prawns masala, has been excellent. Everyone I've brought to Chai Pani has loved it.

The food is amazing! The only problem is the noise! It's so loud. I'm an autistic person and music in this restaurant made me physically hurt because of how loud it is. It even affected my non-autistic mother. All in all, the food is really good but I would recommend take out as apposed to eating there, especially if you're also autistic or get overwhelmed by auditory stimuli. View menu

I love dining at this restaurant! The crowd is always nice and I never have to wait long for a table. They offer great vegetarian and vegan options, and while nobody is perfect, this place comes pretty close. The service is excellent and the appetizers are always a hit. I especially love the complimentary snacks at the door. The roasted Okra chips are delicious and the veggie sandwiches are a popular choice. I always recommend this restaurant to others.

I came to this restaurant for lunch based on a friend's recommendation and was pleasantly surprised by the food. The buffet style was unique, but I wasn't totally impressed. The mango lassi tasted like it was made with frozen mango, but overall the dishes were tasty. While it may not be the best Indian food I've ever had, it was flavorful and reminiscent of dishes I've enjoyed at other recommended restaurants. The naan, saag, and dal were particularly fresh and delicious. I would definitely return, especially considering the unlimited buffet was priced at $16.
