The star of this suburban hero is dynamic “Afro-Punjabi” chai, each made to order with whole spices in well-worn pots over individual flames. Tall glasses of tea – from the bold “Stuey’s Chilli Choc” with a spicy dark chocolate base, to the comforting sweet cardamom of the hug-like Amritsar – are served to barside regulars and transient visitors until 11pm.

Good to know: Ambi’s has now grown to four locations, including North Sydney, Kent Street and Kingston in the ACT.
