In addition to our normal news coverage, What Now Atlanta is tracking ways Atlanta’s businesses are adapting to the novel coronavirus and the challenges it brings to brick-and-mortars.
Chai Pani Decatur, at 406 W Ponce de Leon Ave., has temporarily suspended its operations, including takeout and delivery, in response to the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic.
The seven-year-old Indian street food restaurant closed its doors indefinitely at 8 p.m. April 1.
“We know this is the right thing to do, to keep our employees safe and healthy, even though it’s also a hard thing to do,” a company spokesperson in an email told What Now Atlanta.⠀
The restaurant joins a growing list of eateries pressing the breaks during the “stay at home” including The Vortex, Rocket Farm Restaurants, Star Provisions Restaurant Group, Slutty Vegan, and many more.
