Irani Kafe

Irani Kafe is a retro theme based restaurant, and the antique furniture with its classic appeal gives you typical vibes of an Irani bistro. Its popularity chiefly lies in the authentic Irani food served here that raises the tangent of traditional Lucknow food with some palatable twists in the flavors. If we talk about its menu, we see some refreshing beverages like “thandaii” and you get to pick from a variety of thandai. Let your eyes dart to “Green tea” section of the menu-the range of green tea available here are so flavoursome they leave you asking for more.

While looking at the menu, “idhar – udhar ka khana” (nostalgic ride to the Indian street food) caught my attention which is an assortment of interesting mouth-watering Indian street food  with quirky names like butter chicken pasta, amaa bhai maggi, worker samosa and the list goes on. They not only satiate your taste buds, but also evoke a sense of nostalgia. After all who does not remember the good -old days of maggie in the rusty hostel rooms! The idhar-udhar ka khaana fills the air with nostalgia. Indeed, all varieties of food from various cities are served here with innovative twists. And for all the hookah lovers out there(wink! wink!), Irani Kafe is a sheer paradise with all the exotic flavors. Once you visit Irani Cafe, you will surely keep returning for more.

With the true feel of authenticity and the Nawabi Awadh touch, Irani Kafe takes you back in time and makes you feel like a Nawab yourself.
