About Ambi's Chai Bar
Food at Ambi's Chai Bar
The menu is built around roti, served plain as a garam roti with butter, jam, peanut butter or honey, or filled as a haraka roti with chole (chickpea) or nkoko (chicken). A roti toastie and a few East African and Punjabi-style rotis round out the savoury side. Combos pair a roti with any chai, so a roti and a chai is the easiest full meal.
What to order: Masala chai, made to order · Oat milk chai
