Irani Cafes in Hyderabad: A Declining Legacy
Hyderabad's dwindling Irani cafe scene
Hyderabad, once home to an estimated 450 Iranian cafes, has witnessed a significant decline in their numbers over the past two decades. According to Jaleel Farooq Rooz, owner of The Grand Hotel, Hyderabad currently has only 125 Irani cafes remaining.
A dwindling legacy
Despite being a centre for Iranian trade in the late 19th century, Hyderabad now boasts the second-highest number of Irani cafes after Mumbai. However, the city's once-iconic landmarks are rapidly disappearing.
