It was fantastic! All small considerations inspired by iranian culture & divers traditional stuff around. A variety of customers of different origins & all look happy with the menu, & were busy with warm discussions! I enjoyed it. A small reminder that I prefer warm Kolompé!

Very cute place with a warm & cozy & indeed, authentic ambience. The coffee & food was good BUT the service style is really not commensurate with the prices. Waiting to order in a line, not even getting served water on entering - take away from the experience. The servers also seem overworked. A better handling on service & logistics will make it a 5 out of 5 place!

"This was my first time at Café Aunja. The atmosphere is pleasant, & I tried the Majoun & Persian Fog. They were decent-not great, but acceptable. However, the main issue was the noise; the café was extremely loud. There was no table service, & we waited for 30 minutes before going up to the reception to place our order. We even had to clean our own table because no staff came to help. For a busy café, more staff is definitely needed. Additionally, the staff seemed quite serious & not friendly at all."
