A Must-Visit Gem in Esfahan – Authentic, Charming, and Unforgettable
Chaiee Khane Haj Mirza is an incredible spot with over 80 years of rich history, offering a truly authentic taste of Iranian culture. From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by a treasure trove of antiques and artifacts, some dating back hundreds of years. The decor alone is enough to keep you entertained for hours — every visit reveals something new to admire and ask about.
Amoo Hassan, the warm and welcoming owner, is full of fascinating stories about each piece, adding even more depth to the experience. This charming family-run business is an essential stop for anyone visiting Esfahan.
The food is exceptional — traditional, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service is friendly and attentive. But perhaps the crown jewel is their hookah (ghelyoon). It’s unlike anything else — the rich aromas, smooth quality, and traditional setup make it a truly prestigious treat. If you’re a hookah fan (or even just curious), don’t miss the chance to try it here.
All in all, I highly recommend stopping by Chaiee Khane Haj Mirza. It’s not just a café — it’s a cultural experience that will leave you with lasting memories...
Read moreThis place is truly awesome. Its an experience ! This is hidden in the bazaar of Imam Square, it is necessary to go through an old junk yard to get to the tea house, which is decorated extraordinarily with a large collection of lanterns.Some people will be smoking through hookahs while others just enjoying tea and snacks. Staff here are really good. One of the best tea houses in whole of Iran. The Tea they serve is really tasty. Also in india what we call as Jilebi is you can see in the photo which is called as Zalabia. The place you sit is very closer and there will always be crowd here. We exchanged few smiles with the localities here as they are more in number. I have always loved the people of Iran for their wonderful hospitality. Antiques, Pots, contemporary pieces are the main attraction. The owner is passionate about antiques as you can see the place will be filled with those. Sipping that lovely tea inside this tea house is truly amazing. Finding it might be difficult using Google Maps but its not impossible. You can use the name of the tea house and check with locals in and around. If i get to visit again, this will be on place i will visit...
Read moreIt's a nice touristic place to visit, it has been decorated with many old stuff which makes it aesthetically interesting. The restaurant itself is narrow and very crowded, we were lucky to get some place for ourselves and everything looks very beautiful inside To my surprise, it is not allowed to take pictures (which I don't understand) inside but nobody cares, the staff even took some pictures from us. It took them a while to bring us the menu, it has a small variety of traditional Iranian food but we came for the Dough gooshfil, a type of sweet that has been left inside an aromatic syrup with dough or Ayran, a sour drink made with yogurt which also gets fermented. They were pretty fat after the order and brought it up. Dough was in a huge glass, maybe even enough for two, and a hefty portion of Gooshfil, the mixture of both taste was a bit weird for me and I didn't like it personally, but some people do. Both of them separately were amazing tho. You'll definitely catch the place if you're visiting the Naqsh-e-Jahan Square and it is worth it to try...
