I visited Cafe Aunja last month, & it was a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly & welcoming, creating a warm atmosphere that reminded me of an authentic Iranian café. The quality of the food & drinks was excellent, & the cozy setting made it a perfect spot to relax. It truly feels like a home away from home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable & inviting place to enjoy Persian tea & more!

Wow. I came here with my friends before a midterm & it's exactly what we need. It was like an escape but yet cozy. The food was amazing. It was an explosion of flavour once in my mouth. I'm not a fan of olives, but here I made the exception. The staff was incredibly friendly. Great place for a date as well.

Got a tiny piece of cake that was dry & tasteless. & it cost a small fortune. My chair was painful to sit on. Never going back. Staff members were cheerful & helpful.

Beautiful inside. Very cozy & loved the Persian theme. However the drinks were just very "extra" I appreciate anything Rose flavor. It was hard to drink with all the stuff they put in it. It's just not practical ?. Also the flavor wasn't the best either. The mint drink & the rose drink had like a pound of stuff in the hot water so by the time u get to the drink it's already cool. It's better if they could discard it or something rather than have it for aesthetic purposes because it's unnecessary. I've had rose drinks & teas so I know you shouldn't be swallow the roots & leaves while you are drinking it. The desserts were ok. A bit overpowering with the rose essence. Everything smelt & tasted like incense . Could be better . The cafe is an amazing place to hangout . It gets crowded so get the seats early when you can .

I ordered a beef koukou sandwich as well as a persian fog. It was so delicious. All ingredients in this sandwich were fresh & tasty. I wish the persian fog was served warmer (it was a bit cold). Totally, I had a nice experience at this place.
