Hyderabad, Aug. 28 -- Astoria Restaurant, located in Khairatabad, is undoubtedly one of Hyderabad's oldest and most respected dining institutions. Established in 1979, it has quietly served generations with its authentic Hyderabadi biryani, which still stays underrated. Their Mughlai delicacies and traditional Irani chai still have their loyal clientele in chokehold.

Now, the restaurant is making waves on the internet and going viral with a delightful new addition to its repertoire called Chai ki Dukaan Lounge.

A vintage Irani chai experience

Chai ki Dukaan is designed to transport guests to a bygone era. Stepping into the new lounge is like entering a vintage sanctuary where modern Hyderabad fades away.

The ambience is defined by war...
