Chaye Khana

Walk past the shop windows on Gosford Street and you'll find yourself in a warm, unpretentious space where the coffee's always on and the chai is genuinely exceptional. This is the kind of place where regulars have their order known before they sit down, and the vibe is refreshingly free of Instagram theatrics. You'll spot locals lingering over cardamom-spiked tea and proper Afghan hospitality that makes you feel like you're meant to be there, not just passing through on your way to Highstreet shopping.
