In the heart of Surrey, British Columbia, home to one of the South Asian communities in Canada, comedian Kapil Sharma and his wife Ginni Chatrath have started a new venture called Kap's Cafe. The pastel-toned eatery was officially soft-launched over the weekend and has already become a recognisable spot for locals and visiting fans alike. The menu has been designed to offer a cultural mix of the familiar and the trendy. Guests can order a traditional gur wali chai or choose from modern cafe staples like matcha lattes and vanilla cold brews. Display counters show a mix of treats: lemon pistachio cake, rich fudgy brownies, croissants, and a selection of cookies loaded with nuts and cranberries.

On the opening day, the cafe's Instagram Stories showed queues stretching out the door and a packed interior.
The interiors are decked out in soft blush pinks and creamy whites. A floral archway greets visitors at the entrance, leading them into a space filled with plush baby-pink velvet chairs, crystal chandeliers, gold-accented tables, and decorative floral touches.
Several well-known Indian celebrities and chefs have established a strong presence in Canada's restaurant scene.
