Hyderabad Irani Chai: A Sip of Legacy, A Taste of Tradition

Tea is more than a beverage — it's a ritual, a conversation starter, a moment of comfort. And in the bustling heart of Hyderabad, one particular kind of tea has stood the test of time, generations, and borders: Irani Chai. With its bold flavor, velvety texture, and nostalgic aroma, Irani Chai isn’t just a drink — it’s a legacy.

At Hyderabad Irani Chai, we have made it our mission to honor this legacy and share the magic of authentic Irani chai with the world. What began as a humble teahouse has now grown into a recognized brand — a franchise born out of passion, steeped in heritage, and built on delivering an authentic, consistent, and culturally rich tea experience to every customer, everywhere.

A Heritage in Every Cup

Our journey started, like many iconic brands, with a simple idea and a profound love for culture. The founders of Hyderabad Irani Chai were inspired by the unique atmosphere of Hyderabad’s old-world Irani cafés — timeless havens where students, workers, artists, and elders gathered over a cup of strong, sweet chai and a plate of Osmania biscuits.

These cafés weren’t just eateries. They were part of the social fabric — places of poetry and politics, laughter and literature. The Irani chai served here — slow-brewed, aromatic, and rich — became symbolic of Hyderabad’s culinary and cultural soul.

We knew that this experience couldn’t remain a local secret forever. And so, Hyderabad Irani Chai was born — to preserve, perfect, and share this heritage, one cup at a time.

What Makes Irani Chai Special?

Irani Chai is not your average masala chai or green tea. It’s a brew of balance and boldness, a labor of patience, and a celebration of flavor.

Key Characteristics:

• Double Brewing Process: First, a strong tea decoction is prepared. Separately, milk is boiled and reduced for hours until thick and creamy.
• Slow Simmering: The milk is simmered with cardamom or subtle spices, giving it a rich aroma and full-bodied taste.
• Perfect Sweetness: The sweetness is tailored to balance the strong decoction — not overpowering, but distinctly indulgent.
• Copper and Brass Kettles: Traditionally, it’s prepared in copper or brass utensils, adding depth and warmth to the brew.

The result? A cup of tea that’s velvety, fragrant, slightly spiced, and unforgettable — served piping hot, often with a signature biscuit, bun maska, or samosa.

The First Teahouse: Where It All Began

The original Hyderabad Irani Chai outlet opened its doors in a modest corner of the city, surrounded by heritage buildings, street vendors, and the aroma of freshly baked Osmania biscuits wafting through the air. The founders focused on authenticity over trends, determined to recreate the exact flavor and feel of Hyderabad’s iconic chai.

The response was overwhelming. Word spread. Tea lovers — young and old — came for the taste, stayed for the warmth, and returned for the experience.

This teahouse wasn’t just a café. It became a community space, echoing the essence of the Irani café legacy. From that one outlet, a franchise model was born — designed to bring the same authenticity, charm, and flavor to chai enthusiasts across the country and eventually, the globe.

Our Mission: Brew, Belong, Build

At Hyderabad Irani Chai, we are driven by three core pillars:

Brew with Purpose

We are committed to perfecting the traditional Irani chai recipe — never compromising on quality, preparation methods, or sourcing. Every franchise location is trained to follow standardized brewing techniques, ensuring that the taste you get in Delhi, Bangalore, or Dubai is just as authentic as the one in Hyderabad.

Belong to a Heritage

Our outlets are designed to reflect the original charm of Irani cafés — the chequered floors, vintage furniture, glass tumblers, old clocks, and sepia-toned pictures of Hyderabad’s past. Every space tells a story and offers a feeling of belonging, whether you’re a nostalgic Hyderabadi or a first-time visitor.
