A Taste of India in Breda
A Restaurant Born from Flavour, Not Trends
We didn’t want to create a “fusion restaurant” or a place filled with shortcuts.
We wanted the real taste of India — the same flavours we grew up with, refined over time, and cooked with traditional methods.
That means:
- Slow cooking where needed
- Freshly ground spices
- Handcrafted masalas
- Classic North Indian techniques like tandoor and tadka
- No artificial colours or flavour enhancers
- Respect for regional authenticity
Every dish on our menu starts with a deeper idea:
If we cannot proudly eat it ourselves, we will not serve it to you.
Inspired by Home, Built for Breda
We created a restaurant that respects our roots but also welcomes our new community here in the Netherlands.
Breda has a calm charm — warm, close-knit, and curious about new cultures.
That spirit inspired us.
So we built a space where Indian hospitality meets Dutch comfort.
- Recipes adapted for freshness and balance
- Spice levels you can choose
- A kitchen where tradition and modern cooking harmonise
- A chai experience that feels like home
This is why The Chai Affairs feels familiar yet exciting — for both Indian and Dutch guests.
Flavours That Tell a Story
Every dish in our kitchen has a story behind it:
- Zaffrani Chicken Tikka with royal saffron notes
- Butter Chicken, slow-simmered until creamy and rich
- Champaran Mutton, inspired by Bihar’s rustic cooking
- Lehsuni Palak Paneer, vibrant green and full of garlic aroma
- Masala Chai, brewed low and slow, the way it should be
These dishes aren't just food —
they’re memories brought to life.
Our Promise: Authentic, Honest, Home-Style Cooking
We believe that Indian food should be soulful — not rushed, not compromised.
We promise:
- No shortcuts
- No compromise on ingredients
- Authentic flavours delivered with pride
- A menu that evolves but never loses its roots
Whether it’s your first Indian meal or your 100th, we want it to feel like a warm welcome.
