Try Out Irani Chai in Hyderabad - Irani Chai Hyderabad


There are a few things which can be called quintessentially Hyderabadi and of those is the Irani chai. In fact, it is so popular that even film songs have a mention of it.

Tea cafes became a part of the Indian culture when Persian traders visited the country. The Irani Chai that came with it is known to be a great blend of brewed tea leaves, boiled milk and sweetened condensed milk. MetroMela therefore thought that we ought to let you know more about this thick and creamy concoction.

This kind of tea is available at small and old cafes and is usually served with tempting sweet and salty Osmania biscuits. And the price surprisingly still ranges from Rs. 2.5 to Rs. 5 per cup. Do not forget to ask for the Khade Chammach ki chai if you have a sweet tooth. It is so named because the cup has so much sugar that the spoon stands upright when inserted to mix!

So here is your handy list.
