Our Story
Where Matcha Meets Chai
Two traditions, half a world apart. The quiet ritual of stone-ground ceremonial matcha. The slow, aromatic steam of an authentic Irani dum chai. At Cafe Matchai, they share the same cup, and the same table.
Two Worlds, One Cup
Matcha. Chai. We couldn't choose, so we didn't. Cafe Matchai was born from a simple idea: the best of East and West belong side by side.
Brewed with Intention
Premium ceremonial-grade matcha, whisked to a velvet froth. Irani dum chai, slow-steamed the way it's meant to be. Everything freshly made, nothing rushed.
A Table for Strangers
The name says it: where strangers become friends. We built a room that invites you to linger, warm light, good company, and something handcrafted in your hands.
