On a fine hot day in Rawalpindi, a girl named Jiah Ali took a picture of a hardworking man making chai (pouring chai from a tea ladle); he was unaware that this picture would become the most shared picture in the world at that time. This picture showed the striking good looks and piercing blue eye of Arshad Khan; but more importantly it showed his hard work, determination and not to forget, the best karak chai around.

Chai has been in his blood (considering the amount of chai that is consumed in South Asia, that could be true!) since he was a young boy – that is all he has seen, smelt and made. From a humble background to a handsome superstar chaiwala overnight, that’s quite some journey! He worked hard, stayed focus and did what he’s best at, which is making amazing chai.

Our cafe will immerse you in the traditional ambience with a fusion of culture and elegance.

On some special days, you’ll find Arshad Khan himself making the chai, how exciting is that? So keep your eyes peeled!
