Our Story
We are Aanand Reddy and Alekhya Reddy, a passionate husband-and-wife duo from the vibrant city of Hyderabad, India. Our hearts have always been connected to the rich tapestry of flavors, aromas, and traditions that our hometown offers. From the bustling markets filled with the enticing scent of brewing chai to the lively street corners where friends gather over plates of spicy chaat, our love for food and community runs deep.
As we embark on this exciting adventure in Surrey, we bring not just recipes but also stories—stories of family gatherings, laughter shared over cups of steaming chai, and the vibrant culture that has shaped us. Inspired by our roots, we envisioned Ek Chai Kahani as a cozy haven where people can come together, share their own stories, and create new memories over a delightful cup of Hyderabadi chai.
Our chai recipe is authentic, crafted in the traditional way we learned from our families. Imagine sipping our signature Special Chai, brewed with precision, care, and love, while enjoying a plate of crispy Osmania Biscuits or a warm, spiced Chaat. Each item on our menu is a labor of love, meticulously prepared using time-honored recipes passed down through generations. We believe that food is not just sustenance; it’s an experience that connects us all.
At Ek Chai Kahani, we invite you to be part of our story. Join us in celebrating the warmth of Indian hospitality, the joy of sharing delicious food, and the magic of chai. We can’t wait to welcome you into our café, where every sip and every bite is a page from our story, waiting to become part of yours.
