This past weekend we found our way to a delightful little Indian brunch spot in Bangkok., Cuppachai Thanks to an Instagram add and our love of Indian cuisine I knew we had to check it out. Located on Sukhumvit 31, this little cafe is sandwiched between tall apartment complexes, some fancy homes, and an International kindergarten.
It's a cozy restaurant with a wall of windows, bright colors, and a beautifully drawn peacock welcoming you into the cafe. The whole place was very Instagramable, as so many places in Thailand are.
After perusing the 4 page menu, the one thing we both knew we had to get were chai teas. Genie opted for the hot version while I enjoyed an iced one.

The menu had so many items that looked delightful. We opted to pick two things and share them. Our first choice was easy, dal vada kibbeh naan wrap filled with dal patties. For our readers who don't consume Indian as much, dal is like a hash-brown but made with chick peas and Indian flavors.

Our second choice ended up being a paneer mac and cheese. It may have been on the "kids" menu but we're both adult children so it was only appropriate to order that as well.
Genie wanted a second pot of tea...I don't blame her one bit, it was devine...so I got a butterfly-pea lassi. Butterfly pea (aka Asian Pigeonwings) tea is a big deal at the coffee houses in Thailand because it changes color with the pH balance of whatever you are mixing it with. It also happens to be caffeine free (a plus for this Thai padder)!
Cuppachai was delicious, cozy, quiet, and a beautiful place to spend a few hours on a Saturday afternoon. We both highly recommend it and will be back to try more of their menu.
