I visited this restaurant after seeing good reviews on Google and hearing recommendations from my friends. I ordered the Kolkata Egg Roll, Chicken Chutney Roll, Reshmi Kebab Roll, and a few other items. Unfortunately, the food didn’t meet my expectations. The rolls were undercooked, wrapped carelessly, and lacked real flavor. The portion size also didn’t justify the price. Overall, it felt quite overhyped compared to what I experienced.

Great chai and service! I ordered a hot vanilla chai latte on the touch screen and it took a while. We waited by the counter and after a few minutes the man at the register checked in and brought me my order plus a free iced chai latte to try! Both were very good! Appreciated the gesture and opportunity to try two drinks!

Absolutely Love This Place! THANKS A TON Manager Ikram Nawabi Cups N Chai Café is a hidden gem that instantly makes you feel at home. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and the comforting aroma of freshly brewed chai.

Ikram Nawabi is such an amazing soul! From the moment we walked in, his warmth and genuine hospitality made us feel completely welcome. The way he served us was truly phenomenal every detail was handled with so much care and attention. You can really tell he’s passionate about what he does and takes great pride in making sure his guests have a wonderful experience. The Chai was absolutely perfect rich, aromatic, and brewed to perfection with just the right balance of spices. The cookies paired beautifully with it; they were fresh, buttery, and full of flavor. You could taste the quality and effort put into everything. The café itself is stunning, with a cozy and elegant design that creates such a relaxing atmosphere. Every corner feels thoughtfully decorated from the warm lighting to the artistic touches that give the space its unique character. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind, have great conversations, and truly enjoy your time.
Overall, Ikram and the café have created something really special. The combination of excellent service, delicious Chai, delightful treats, and beautiful ambiance makes this spot a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to all my friends!

I go there all the time and it’s been one of my favorite cafe in Ann Arbor so far! ✨✨✨ I would highly recommended to people to visit!!!
What a great find! The chai is delicious, but the friendly owner makes a quick stop feel like bumping into an old friend. And do not miss out on the amazing shortbreads!

Just tried out this place. We were in a large group that ordered several types of chai and different food items, and everything was wow! Hands down, best chai I've had in Michigan. I especially liked the Karak Chai and Amore Chai, but all of the different chai varieties at the table were amazing. My family is South Asian so I grew up as a bit of a chai snob, but this place thoroughly impressed me. Their homemade paratha wraps and sandwiches were super yummy. Seating was ample, both indoors and outdoors, and the whole restaurant had a vibrant and chic vibe. Place was very clean. This is a family owned restaurant and the thing I thought was especially stand-out was that several of the family-members were there even though we went really late on a Sunday. Owners stopped by several times to make sure our group was happy. If your only experience with chai is at Starbucks or Biggby, I really recommend taking in Cups N Chai's extremely welcoming environment with your family or friends while broadening your horizons with one of their wonderful pots of chai.

This was such a great experience. I make my own Chai because you typically don't find authentic Chai anywhere. This is the real deal!!!
The chutney chicken wrap was outstanding! You aren't going to find anything like it anywhere else.
Got to talk to talk to one of the owners and had to congratulate him for such a one of a kind experience.
No reason to work alone. Drop everything, grab your laptop, and enjoy the great wifi on the patio.
Great study spot with amazing chai.
