Cafe Irani Chaii
Our very first experience with the Iranian Cafe in Mumbai was truly a savoured moment that many should experience this Unique culture that has been in Mumbai for years now.
Welcome to the first Irani cafe.
A bit of a trivia :
. Cafe Irani Chaii, owned by filmmaker Dr Mansoor Showghi Yezdi.
. The two ‘I’s in chaii which stand for India and Iran.
. Filmmaker Dr Mansoor Showghi Yezdi, has built this rich Irani cafe culture and to maintain the friendly ties between Iran and India.
.They open early morning at 6am and shut shop at 11pm.
Come experience their mirror panelled walls,
chequered tablecloths, ornate wooden designs & bentwood chairs & a contented cat purring at the entrance.
What we ordered :
Bun Maska
buns smeared with generous amounts of butter
along with the
Irani Chai
Just take a bite and sip or dip and bite of chai together with bread is one of a kind combination.
Mutton Kheema & Pav
Deliciously made the kheema is juicy but not with too much gravy. It is dry enough to be savoured with bread (pav).
A must have...
Mutton white biryani (Sunday special only)
The white rice was light and fluffy with flavour, and half a potato on top.
The meat was tender the pieces were suffice .
The biryani was flavourful with a sort of spice that will leave a memorable delight.
Pallonji’s raspberry soda & lemonade soda
A sweet soda based on the flavour kinda drink you can have with your meal
Chicken lollipop
Your usual, deep fried chicken noodles is delicious unique blend of tastes
Veg Samosa
Nothing exciting
The Warm Hospitable Welcome by Mr Ali & his wonderful patient staff added up to a most memorable, savoured moment for me & my family.
Overall everything was perfect & i would recommend everyone to experience the iranian delicacies.

Ordered the chicken kathi . Pretty Average. Well I should try some more regular stuff from here. The taste was good but the batter coating was alot.
Very good food. We had been to this cafe for breakfast and this place didn’t disappoint us!
Chicken Cheese masala omelette was outstanding so was Akuri and Russian Chicken Kabab
Chai & Bun Maska - Mandatory
Staff is friendly.
Not very expensive
Surely recommend this place to foodies
I have been a regular at this place and it surprises me every time there is an article about top Irani restaurants without a mention of this place. The food is delicious. Today I was craving their haleem and since it is only available on Fridays I called to check if they have it. The staff informed me that it is not ready and that he will call me to inform when it is. He made sure he did, actually twice, and it speaks volumes about their service. Must try.
I loved the food from here.. It is absolutely fantastic. So much so that I ordered 3 nights in a row from here!
One stand out recommendation is their Irani Classic Chicken Cheese Burger. Perfect balance of superb smoky grilled chicken flavor, delectable cheese, that crunchy but not crispy texture and a real low price- I'd easily pay double for this quality & taste! Beats all burger joints in Bandra hands down!
Other items I tried:
Toast Cheese: 5/5 (Simple, perfect grilled cheese)
Bun Maska: 4.5/5 (consistent brilliance)
Chicken Russian Kebabs: 5/5 (great taste & texture)
Chicken Cutlets: 4.5/5 (great taste & texture)
Chicken Kathi: 4/5 (try it, its like Desi satay)
Scrambled Eggs: 5/5 (International standard)
Masala Fry Chicken Cheese Bhurji: 4/5
Masala Fry Omelette: 4.5/5
Akuri: 4.5/5 (that authentic Bawa taste)
This is easily one of the best discoveries of the lockdown for me. Simple, easy, authentic and real hearty food. I approve and recommend happily 😊
Every tea lover should visit this place
In love with their bun maska ♥️
Small cosy cafe with vintage interiors. This place is a must visit for Parsi food lovers.
Tried their Kheema Pav, Cheese Omlette, Bun Maska paired with Irani Chai. Loved each and every dish served..
Food: 5/5
Service : 4.5/5
Ambience: 4.5/5
Total value for money.Food served was of top quality and delicious.Their chicken cheese omlette is to die for.Also their biryanis are too good.Limited options for vegetarians.
It's a decent and pocket friendly place
These vintage cafe are my all time fav. They serve food with so much ch of simplicity and with great taste.
So let's get into review.
I tried
Kheema pav: it's damn tasty.
Taste 5/5
Quanty tbh if you're too hungry then it's only for one or else you can share with others.
They have great options for sides,
Like chicken cutlet
Andr burji
Do try their hot beverages
Than you for reading

🍨Irani Fereni:A sweet Indian dish of thickened milk, dried fruit, and ground rice, this was the perfect way to end our Irani meal! It was extremely soft and and oh-so-melt-in-your-mouth, served in a traditional earthen bowl.
🍳Akuri (3 eggs) with in-house pav:
It is a spicy scrambled egg dish eaten in the Parsi cuisine of India. Akuri is cooked until almost runny; the eggs are never overcooked. The main flavouring is fried onions and the spices used are ginger, coriander, chopped chilis, and black pepper. Akuri is traditionally eaten with pav or double roti. A different kind of bhurji, once can say, we totally digged it, we're sure you would too!
☕Irani Chai:
Chai isn't a hot beverage for us, it is an emotion! So what is so different about Irani chai as compared to our kadak cutting? Irani chai is a unique form of tea unlike any other version of Indian chai, made by the addition of mawa or khoya to black tea. The result is a sweet and creamy chai, with the obvious addition of spices like cinnamon and green cardamom. A bit too sweet for our tastebuds but we're sure, you'll take a liking to it!
Small joint. Will take some effort to find... But once you do it like succeding at Treasure Hunt.. The food is incredible... Tried the Omlete with cheese and chicken fry.. Never had a better omlete this in my life..
A small but busy place in the quiet lanes of Matunga. Went with high expectations and they didn't disappoint me. A must try place. I had their Mutton Kheema Pav (2 pav is sufficient for one plate of Kheema), Signature chicken cheese burger, Mutton galauti kebab, Double egg Masala fry chicken cheese bhurji (must have), Irani chai and the infamous Pallongis Raspberry soda.
It is the first come,first server basis. Parsi food is really good here. They accept the cash, card and gpay as well so that will not be an issue.
I loved the cafe very much. Chicken cheese omelette was yumm🤤🤤 Ambience was very good.
One of the oldest Irani cafe located in Mahim Mumbai.
Walking distance from mahin local station.
Area is little congested but they maintain cleaneless and pure Irani vibe.
I tried bun muska , bread pudding and cheese omelet, test was good only bun muska is more delicious.
This is a great restaurant if you love Kheema pav.The Kheema pav here is perfect not so spicy with perfect taste of spices.The chicken cutlets are good but a lot oily. The ice cream soda that you get here is the best it just took me back to my childhood days.Nice ambience and also great variety of food.
Migrated Iranians set up theirs business in India much before independence. Still they are maintaining the quality. We tested chicken kabab and bun muska. Excellent taste.
Whatever I tried was superb and the Chicken cheese masala omlette was the best & would really recommend. I never had such omlette else. Chicken kheema was good, so was chicken cutlet.
Pallonji's Soda, bun maska, Irani chai, akuri, keema pav, life's good. It was like you were in the 1980s again. Ambience still keeps up the rustic feel. Chai is typical Irani style. Won't be disappointed.
Irani chai and bun maska was just woow.
Mutton kheema paav,mutton galouti kebab,chicken farcha 👌👌👌
We kept on ordering and each one of them turned out to be amazing.
And they had some really great service.❤️❤️❤️
