Friday Chaiday: Ambi's Parramatta

Ambi's Chai is a teahouse that makes masala chai Afro-Punjabi style, which is to say it comes from the Swahili Coast where Kenyans, Tanzanians and Somalis have added their own flavours to the chai recipes brought to Africa by Indian migrants.

A word of caution: the chai is STRONG. "Our chais are made to order: steaming hot, spicy and sweet. In the African way, our chais are loaded with ginger and pepper and may be stronger than our customers expect. For those with different palates, ask for our milder, Desi chai or Khushy’s Pind Express, which is closer to a traditional sub-continental chai."

Ambi's now has a chai bar in Parramatta, come check it out with me.

Each person pays for their own order.
