Chai Bar Menu

Chai Bar at 744 Broadway, Revere feels like a compact tour through comforting Persian flavors, and the menu reads like it’s built for both sharing and settling into a serious meal. I’d start with the starters because they set the tone: the smoky, creamy EGGPLANT W/ WHEY (Kashk E Bademjan) and the richer SMOKED EGGPLANT W/ EGG (Mirza Ghasemi) are the kind of dishes that make you slow down and snack between bites. Lighter options like OLIVE DIP and PERSIAN STYLE SALAD balance the table nicely, while PERSIAN NOODLE SOUP brings that homey, “made-for-a-cold-day” comfort.

The heart of the menu is the kabob lineup, where choices like LAMB LOLLIPOP (Shishleek) and BEEF KOOBIDEH feel classic, while the tangy pomegranate-forward plates-POMEGRANATE BEEF TENDERLOIN (Torsh) and POMEGRANATE LAMB (Lamb Torsh)-add a deeper, slightly sweet-sour punch that’s memorable. If you’re leaning toward hearty stews and slow-cooked mains, the entrees deliver with BEEF RIB, LAMB SHANK, and two Persian staples: HERB AND DRIED LIME BEEF STEW (Ghormeh Sabzi) and YELLOW SPLIT PEAS AND DRIED LIME BEEF STEW w/ EGGPLANT (Gheymeh)-both built for pairing with rice.

Speaking of rice, the mixed polo options-SOUR CHERRY RICE, SWEET RICE, and FAVA BEAN & DILL RICE-make it easy to customize the meal’s mood, from bright and fruity to fragrant and savory. Add simple sides like BARBERRY, TOMATO, and BREAD, plus house extras like Homemade Pickled Vegetable and Homemade Pickled Garlic, and you’ve got everything needed to round out the table. For drinks, the selection is practical and pleasing-Mexican Coke, Fanta, Sprite, Diet Coke and Ginger Ale-with Persian touches like Bubbly Persian Yogurt, Bubbly Persian Yogurt (Communal), and a warm finish from Persian Tea. Overall, Chai Bar’s menu feels focused, satisfying, and designed for people who want bold, familiar flavors without overcomplicating the experience.
