ROTI & CHAI

ROTI & CHAI ROTI & CHAI is an authentic South African Street food concept modelled around the Chai & Roti 'Wala''s of the streets of Mumbai and Delhi. It's real.

ROTI & CHAI brings to you the authentic taste of Indian street food...it's what we like to call 'Real Indian street Food'. India's street food popularity has risen immensely, but what we have is something a little different. It's honest. It's simple. We're bringing you the ultimate taste of India through our unique menu of Tandoor Wraps or Naanwhich Rolls,Tandoor Chicken,Lamb,veg & Seafoods and

a selection of traditional Indian drinks. 'CHAI CHAI' we hear you say! It's just as you would find on the bustling streets of Mumbai, Delhi, Calcutta. "In this day and age where Indian food has been reformed to the most sophisticated level, it has somehow lost its essence and authenticity. I am bringing a very simple and honest plate of food to my guests, inspired by age old traditions and simplicity, food that will touch your heart and soul and that I believe is limitless. At Roti & Chai we are not just cooking, we are redefining Indian Street Food".

Always a vibes The Zone
Ali Zai Suraj Jewan Khajal Ali

There’s a special kind of magic that happens when local artists step into our spaces — the room shifts, hearts open, and suddenly we’re all part of something bigger than ourselves. At Roti & Chai, we’ve always believed that creativity deserves a home, a stage, and a community that truly sees it.

From soulful live music to poetry that stirs the spirit, from vibrant painting workshops to the recent rise of local author book launches — our platform exists to share, uplift, and celebrate the incredible talent South Africa holds.

To those of you who carry the same fire, the same belief in nurturing homegrown artistry — your spirit lives here. Your presence keeps this movement alive. You’re always welcome to join us, vibe with us, and give these artists the spotlight they deserve.

Here’s to joy, collaboration, and giving our creatives the chance to shine brighter than ever.
