the chai philosophy
““Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, till earth and sky stand presently at God’s great judgment seat; but there is neither East nor West, border, nor breed, nor birth, when two strong men stand face to face, tho’ they come from the ends of the earth!” ”
Anybody who has traveled along the ancient Silk Road will know of the quaint dhabbas (eateries) that have served adventurous travellers through the centuries. Today, these dhabbas have transformed into charming little street vendors that dot the Silk Road from Mongolia through Tibet, India, Persia, to Istanbul.
At East is East, we capture the vibrant energy of these charming dhabbas that represent the beauty and diverse flavours of this ancient region.
““Your five senses will awaken at the Chai Gallery. The ambiance is dark and mysterious, candle-lit and warm. The dining experience is as if you have been transported into a different world.”
