Chai Ki, located in Canary Wharf, offers a modern twist on traditional Indian cuisine, serving up innovative dishes that delight the senses. The restaurant’s design is sleek and contemporary, with a stylish bar area offering a range of creative cocktails. The menu, curated by owner Rohit Chugh, is divided into two sections: the Toddy Shop Bar, featuring street food-inspired dishes, and the Dining Room, offering a more formal dining experience.
Standout dishes include the Kerala Fried Chicken, a spicy take on the Southern classic, and the Tandoori Chicken Tikka, marinated in a tangy blend of yoghurt and spices. For vegetarians, the Paneer Tikka is a must-try, with its smoky, charred exterior and soft, creamy interior. Desserts are equally impressive, with the Chocolate Chilli Fondant being a particular highlight.
Despite the modern approach to Indian cuisine, Chai Ki still embraces traditional cooking techniques, using a tandoor oven to achieve that characteristic charred flavour. The restaurant’s atmosphere is lively and buzzing, making it a popular choice for both lunch and dinner. It’s clear that Chai Ki is adding a much-needed spice to the Canary Wharf dining scene.
