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.
