Chai Guys is the brainchild of Abhilash Jobanputra and Gabriel Unger, two entrepreneurs driven by their love for authentic Indian chai. Their journey began in September 2018 with a transformative trip to India, where they immersed themselves in the vibrant world of chai culture. Returning to London with a suitcase filled with tea and a vision, they spent nine months perfecting their recipes, brewing techniques, and spice blends.
In May 2019, their iconic Masala Chai made its debut at Brick Lane Market, marking the birth of Chai Guys. Today, Chai Guys stands as a pioneer, introducing countless individuals to the enchanting world of chai.
Chai Guys' locations at Old Spitalfields Market and Seven Dials Market evoke chai's origins, creating an enchanting ambience for all. Together, Abhilash and Gabriel have woven their unique stories and passions into Chai Guys, delivering not only chai but an unforgettable journey of flavour and authenticity.
The arrival of Chai Guys Bakehouse marks a significant expansion for Chai Guys as a new chapter unfolds.
