Irani cafes

Irani cafés are traditional Iranian-style coffeehouses that emerged in India during the British colonial period, particularly in the city of Mumbai. They serve Persian-inspired beverages like chai, along with snacks such as bun maska and biscuits. Known for their nostalgic ambiance, these cafés often feature vintage décor and a sense of community, reflecting Iran's cultural influence. Over time, Irani cafés became popular gathering spots for a diverse clientele, blending Persian hospitality with Indian flavors. They symbolize a unique cultural fusion, preserving a sense of history, tradition, and social connection within urban settings.
