The Chai King is not just a restaurant; it's a heartfelt tribute to the memories of home, woven into every sip and bite. Our journey began nine years ago when Kuldeep Dhaliwal left his little village in Punjab, carrying with him a suitcase filled with dreams and the cherished recipes of his Biji. Right in the middle of fields, her kitchen was a sanctuary where the warmth of love and the aroma of freshly brewed chai brought comfort to all who entered.

Chai to us, has always been more than just a drink—it is a moment of pause, a symbol of togetherness. And Biji’s chai, a delicate blend of hand-picked spices and fresh tea leaves, was the essence of this tradition. Every morning, she would brew her special chai with an artful touch, a skill passed down through generations, and I watched her every move, learning the secrets of crafting the perfect cup.

And when I arrived in Calgary, so did my dream of creating a place where people could feel the same connection and warmth we experienced back home. The Chai King was born from this dream, a place where every cup of chai carries the essence of Biji’s love and every dish tells a story of heritage. From the rich, spiced teas to the flavorful, traditional dishes, our menu is a reflection of deep respect for our roots and dedication to sharing that with the world.

At The Chai King, we pour our heart into every meal, ensuring that each sip of chai and every bite takes you on a journey back to the simplicity and warmth of our villages. It’s more than just food—it’s a celebration of culture, a taste of nostalgia, and a reminder that home is never too far away. We invite you to join us, to experience the soul of India in every sip and bite. Welcome to Chai King. Welcome home.
