My Chai

Walk into My Chai and you're immediately hit with the aroma of cardamom, ginger, and whatever spices they've got steaming in their pots. It's the kind of place where you can tell they're not messing about—the chai here isn't some watered-down afterthought, it's the whole point. Corporation Street's seen a fair bit of regeneration, and this venue fits right into what's happening down there: unpretentious, focused, and doing one thing properly. You'll find the sort of crowd that appreciates good spiced drinks and Indian street food without any of the pretence. It's casual enough that you'll pop in for a quick chai and snacks, but the ratings suggest there's real depth to what they're doing.
