Dylan's Nepalese and Indian

dylan's does something genuinely unusual: it pairs nepalese and indian food with specialty coffee, and pulls both off. that combination could easily feel unfocused, but on chatham high street, where the options thin out quickly, having one place hold this much ground matters. the regulars who keep coming back aren't doing it out of habit alone. you get the sense that the kitchen and the counter are taken equally seriously here, which is rarer than it should be. chatham's high street has seen better decades, but 56 high st keeps a certain anchor quality. if you're passing through on a weekday afternoon, the coffee is the reason to stop before you do anything else.
