DC now has more exceptional Indian restaurants than great steakhouses, so it felt almost excessive when Meherwan Irani and Vishwesh Bhatt announced this northernmost outpost of Irani’s James Beard Award–winning Indian hit in Asheville and Atlanta. But six months ago, Chai Pani created its own niche here at Union Market: a festive, color-splashed space where the chefs’ love for Indian street food shines. No meal is complete without snacks like SPDP—potato-stuffed puris with yogurt and tamarind—and matchstick okra fries.
