Our story

From a Dubai chai counter to a multi-brand group

Cha Cha Chai has been a Dubai chai institution since 2013 — strong, sweet, milky karak, the cup this city runs on. ROAST Specialty Coffee followed in 2018 with a different obsession: single-origin beans, honest brunch and coffee made properly.

Today both brands live under one roof — founder-led, part of the Missan Group of Companies. Our dual-brand kitchens run ROAST and CCC side by side from the same outlets: one operation, two beloved brands, twice the reach on every delivery platform in the UAE.

Nine points of sale across Dubai. A 65-item menu engineered down to the gram. Live sales data from every till. This is hospitality run like a technology company — and we are just getting started.
