We are glad you put no computer sign on the tables. The place becomes more elegant.

Also, your cups for tea did not smell egg. This is great, thank you.

Quaint cafe with good Persian food. We had our breakfast here & thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast sets - full breakfast which came with lentil soup & mountain omelette. The Iranian bread that came with the sets were really good. Great service from the team as well!

Cafe aunja offers a very delicate & elegant Persian-inspired environment. It's a perfect place for afternoon tea. I tried their specialty tea - Persian Fragrance. An amazing combination of different flowers, a bit sourness from the lime, & a bit sweetness from honey. Highly recommended!
