Aki’s Does High Tea, Indian Style
When we think of high tea we ordinarily think about sipping on Earl Grey and munching cucumber sandwiches. Not so at Aki’s, which has given the high class tradition a Bollywood makeover.
Chef Kumar Mahadevan has designed the Indian menu, which pairs Indian Masala Chai and Mango Lassis with some tiny spiced treats.
