In this photograph taken on August 8, 2015, an Indian waiter serves 'Irani chai-tea' to customers at The May Rose Cafe in Hyderabad. Irani chai defined the cafe culture and it has been a tradition since the 1940s, from Secunderabd to the old city of Hyderabad. Introduced by settlers from Persia (Iran). Persian immigrants came to Mumbai's port in search of a better life and to trade. From Mumbai they migrated to Pune and then to Hyderabad. Along with them came the concept of Irani chai. Irani chai is mostly served in a white ceramic cup and saucer and often called 90 ml chai after its standard volume, and costs in the range of Indian Rupees 10-12 (USD cents 0.16-0.19).
