Thoughts: Looks like "Tea Kadai" Café Spot for evening Hangouts in Little India, somewhere in Penang's Georgetown. The Indian Café serves typical 印度式茶 Indian-style tea, 咖啡 coffee, as well as fresh milk, and other non Coffee or Tea hot or drinks. There is an excellent array of 印度小吃 Indian snacks available on the menu such as 炸蔬菜 Pakoda, 炸豆餅 Vadai/Vada, 印度脆球 Pani Puri, 薩摩薩三角餃 Samosa etc.

Not a planned visit but a stop-over at the Café to take shade because of the sudden Monsoon rain in Georgetown. For coffee, took a chance on this rm$4.90 "娜娜吉咖啡 Nanaji (Nanajii) Coffee" and a popular indian snack "巴尼布里(印度脆球) Pani Puri" (rm$6 for 5pcs). The sudden down pour cleared the streets of Little India, and cooled the evening heat a little bit but went on for more than 90 minutes. After the rain, tourist and locals slow filled up the tables along the street outside the Cafe.
"娜娜吉咖啡 Nanaji Coffee" of perhaps better known as "(有機)綠咖啡 Nanaji (Organic) Green Tea" is a 未經烘焙的天然咖啡豆 natural coffee bean that has not been roasted and said to still has the nutrients and benefits contained in it. The Tea/Coffee contains the main ingredient of 綠原酸 chlorogenic acid, which 刺激身體新陳代謝 stimulates the 減肥的效果 metabolism in the body to lose weight. Some articles reported that it is proven effective for 保持持久的精 long-lasting energy, 保持身體健康 good health and healthy, 有助於控制血糖 helps to control blood sugar, and 安全地控制體重 safe weight control. The Nanaji (or Nanajii) Green Tea Coffee seems to be a little bit of popularity in the Penang island according to the waiter at "Tea Kadai".
The "巴尼布里(印度脆球) Pani Puri" was ordered to kill time at the Café while waiting for the rain to stop. 巴尼布里 Pani puri is an immensely popular Indian street food chatt snack; it comes as a cripsy hollow ball, with an opening to stuff-in a variety of items such as 小塊馬鈴薯 small cubes of boiled potatoes, 蒸綠豆芽 steamed moong sprouts, 鷹嘴豆 boiled chickpeas, or 咖哩白豌豆 white peas curry (also known as ragda) or perhaps depend on the chef. Last is to pour into the hollow ball with 辛辣濃鬱的水 spicy tangy water and some 甜味酸辣醬 sweet chutney. This interesting snack ball should then be placed entirely into the mouth before biting on it to experience that bursts of tastes and flavours all at once!
"Kadai" means 店鋪 shop in 泰米爾語 Tamil, and the people behind "Tea Kadai" make it a point to celebrate their 印度穆斯林 Indian-Muslim roots through their food offerings. The Indian Muslim little Cafe probably opened sometime in 2018 or 2019 and has quickly became an overnight social media star for its fascinating take on its Tea Time menu and array of Indian snacks. Among the favourites here are the Cafe's 馬薩拉茶 Masala Tea, 杏仁茶 Almond Tea, and 咖啡 Bru Coffee but not forgetting the sweet or savoury Indian snacks like 南印度餃子 Kolukattai, 什錦煎餅 Mixed Bajji, and 巴尼布里 Pani Puri.
