Thanks for the little details of the flowers and being close to our event space, allowing people to enjoy their tea without missing the ceremony. LOVE YALL ❤️ Hahahahaah I got a cup!! Thank god, I made my cousin get it before you guys ended! It was sooo good, felt like I was home. Such a beautiful feeling, the comfort of your culture while witnessing your own wedding.

“I’ve seen this vendor on reels before so when I found out they had a location I had to check it out. The interior was nice and the service was really good! The girl who took our orders was very nice and gave us a good recommendation of Kashmiri gulab chai. It was a very welcoming location and will definitely come back!”

Answering questions promptly, understanding when I'm not replying, and then of course delivering perfectly on the day of. Thank you so much.”
“Truly, very unique combination and some of my favorite coconut rose, Kashmiri pink such an incredible café, beautiful ambience love the service”
“Paper Kite Chai was a great addition to our Cocktail Hour at Sand Castle! Guests loved having another option for drinks besides the bar and our Indian guests loved a piece of our culture being part of the wedding celebrations. We had cold Rose Chai and hot Classic Masala Chai (unsweetened) for any guests that wanted to adjust their sugar. We also loved that Paper Kite Chai included an option for one complimentary snack, and we chose cake rusks! They were wonderful to work with leading up to the wedding and were on time and ready to go on the day of. Highly recommend including them for a surprise for your guests and great chai!!”
“Thank you so much for the amazing job you did at my reception! I'm still hearing people rave about your chai and I've spoken to 3 different people who want to hire you for their events as well! I can't wait to work with you guys again — I know my brother will be reaching out for his summer wedding too.”
“The cart quickly became the talk of the party. Everyone enjoyed the unique flavors and upbeat service Nilam and her team were able to bring. Adding a twist to the classic masala chai, and incorporating flavors like lavender and coconut rose is a stroke of genius. All my guests visited her stand multiple times… some were even disappointed to see her leave!”
“Having Paper Kite Chai at our company holiday party was a brilliant idea! The live chai station was a conversation starter, and the delicious flavors kept everyone warm and happy all night.”
