The Persian Lounge

The Persian Lounge is located at G - 11 & 12 in Lakshmi Nagar. It’s a pretty busy part of the city, and we’re right in the middle of it. Our space is spread across two units, which gives us a bit more room to move around. We don't have any corporate branding or polished slogans. We just set up the place so people would have somewhere to sit and spend some time. Most of our work involves keeping the seating areas clean and making sure everything is in order. It’s a lot of late nights because that’s when people usually come around. Lakshmi Nagar has its own rhythm, and we’ve had to adapt to it. The walls are decorated simply, nothing too expensive. We handle all the chores ourselves, from fixing the lights to managing the front desk. It’s a small operation even though the name might sound big. We’ve been here at G - 11 & 12 for a while now. Some days it’s hard work and we get tired, but it’s our own business so we keep at it. We don't have a big marketing plan. Most people just see the sign when they are walking through the market and decide to stop in. It’s an honest way to run a place. We just try to stay consistent with our daily routine and see what happens. We spend a lot of time just chatting with the neighbors and the other shop owners.
