At Chai Shai we are passionate about creating an exceptional dining experience that promises to provide the finest food and drinks in a delightful atmosphere. We take pride in using quality ingredients served by our Chefs and sous Chefs, who enjoy and care about our appreciated guests.
My wife & I are veterans of the restaurant industry with more than 24 years of experience. We started humbly with a small Deli on Geary St in San Francisco then transitioned to a Pizza place on Market St in San Francisco then a Tex Mex Restaurant on North St in Nacogdoches & Finally Chai Shai. All of our endeavors were successful and provided many learning experiences and opportunities as we moved from one city to the next. The story of Chai Shai began when we first called Sugar Land Home, 10 years ago. With my culinary degree, and passion for cooking, My wife & I decided that our love of socializing would allow us to be great restaurant owners. Our drive came from hosting large gatherings of friends an family, providing delicious home cooked meals and ultimately a great experience as whole. Previously, our role in the industry was to manage and oversee logistics, however Chai Shai is a different & unique adventure as we have chosen to create our scratch made menu along with a custom ambiance designed by my wife and her love for Cricket. From our non traditional menu items to our inviting decor, its easy to see why we have developed a deep fan base in Houston and its surrounding areas. Our Fusion of different cultures, foods and ideas is a great match to the diverse community that we call home. A fun fact of how the name Chai Shai by Al Habib came to be, my wife loved the name chai shai, and my friends used to call me Al-Habib. We put the two together and the rest is history!
