For the first time in the United Kingdom, a young Pakistani entrepreneur has opened a coffee shop that accepts numerous cryptocurrencies as payment.
Tayyab Shafiq, 26, opened “Chai Ada” near Westfield in Shepherds Bush, West London, serving a variety of tea flavours as well as Pakistani and Asian foods such as parathas, biryani, kebabs, and rolls.
The Chai Ada, which is decorated with truck art and located directly next to the White City Bus terminal, has been an instant popularity.
The cafe’s ceiling is decorated with Pakistani truck art, umbrellas, chairs, and tables were carried over from Lahore, and each table has a Ludo game for guests.
Previously, Shafiq made waves in the United Kingdom when he launched a biryani café inside a red iconic London phone box.
He eventually had to sell the company since the local council and the authorities in charge of English heritage sites wouldn’t let him continue owing to regulatory difficulties.
