Chai Shai King, tucked away on Kellett Crescent in Holbeck, officially launched on June 15, offering up a cosy space for guests.
The cafe is the dream-turned-reality of Ashish Deb - a former professional actor from Calcutta and recent MBA graduate from Leeds Beckett University.
He described the launch as “the fulfilment of a dream and a message of hope for aspiring entrepreneurs”, particularly among international students carving out new lives and businesses in the UK.
