We’re having a Divali party this Friday, 5-8, with our friends Meherwan Irani and Molly Irani from Chai Pani restaurant in Asheville, NC. Not to mention restaurants in Decatur, GA and Washington, DC.
Chai Pani Asheville was named as the Outstanding Restaurant in America by the James Beard Foundationin 2022. Well deserved!
They are in town for Portland Book Week presenting Meherwan’s new cookbook “No. 1 Best Indian Cookbook In the World” and Molly’s book “Service Ready: A Story of Love, Restaurants, and the Power of Hospitality”. They will be here to sign copies of their books!
We will be serving dishes from Meherwan’s cookbook and some Bollywood Theater classics. Open to all…first come, first served. There may be a line, but we’ll keep it moving. 5-8, Friday night. We look forward to seeing you!
