Irani cafés are Iranian-style cafés in the Indian subcontinent.[1][2] They were originally opened by Zoroastrian Irani immigrants to British India in the 19th century, fleeing Safavid persecution or looking for better economic prospects.[3] In India, Mumbai, Pune and Hyderabad boast a number of Irani cafés, which are very popular for Irani chai (tea).[4][5] In the 1950s, there were 350 Irani cafés; today, only 25 remain.[1] Karachi, Pakistan, was also home to many Irani cafés.[6][7]
