Our Team

People behind
every cup.

Karak House is built by the people who pour, bake, host, and lead — across every shop, every shift, every city.

— Hospitality is the recipe.

Karak House Family

The people behind it all.

Three brothers, one ritual. The founders who pour every day, building Karak House one shop, one cup, one city at a time.

Junaid Malik

Born and raised outside Detroit, Junaid leads Karak House with a cross-industry background that spans supply chain, sales, marketing, coffee, and franchising. His instinct for consumer-led businesses shaped Karak House from the very first cup — and continues to guide every new shop we open.

"It all began with 'let's have some Karak.'"

Zohaib Malik

Zohaib heads operations and franchising — the parts of the business that don't show up in the cup but make every cup possible. With deep experience in the mortgage and sales worlds, he focuses on the systems, standards, and strategic playbook that let us scale without losing the soul of the brand.

"Strong recipe, stronger systems."
Rohail Malik — Co-Founder, Marketing and Communications

Rohail Malik

Rohail leads marketing and communications. A storyteller at heart with a background in digital marketing and brand development, he shapes how Karak House shows up — every photo, every caption, every campaign — so the warmth you feel in the shop reaches the people we haven't met yet.

"Every cup carries a story — we just help tell it."
The Story

One family. One ritual.

Karak House is a family-owned chai house — built by three brothers around one simple idea: bring the authentic chai experience we grew up with to a modern, welcoming setting.

From our first shop in Laguna Hills to fourteen locations across the country, the recipe is unchanged, the standard is uncompromising, and the welcome is the same in every city.

— Three brothers. One brand. Brewed slow, shared often.
