Started in December 2021, Zubaan is the place for people who love books, stimulating conversations, and delectable Lebanese-Middle Eastern cuisine. Derived from the Hindi word for ‘tongue,’ Zubaan is a home converted into a restaurant. With its homely charm, the walls have quotes, illustrations, and tables have flowers that add to the overall decor.
Dishes include ‘Habbat Al Hamra,’ layered delights such as ‘Mousakka’ and ‘Maqlooba,’ and the perennial favorite, ‘Umm Ali.’ Meat lovers will like the succulent kebabs, while vegetarians also have many options. Weekends at Zubaan herald a celebration of breakfast traditions with tantalizing platters featuring Turkish Cilbir and Yemeni Shakshouka, alongside freshly baked delights like Turkish Lahmacun and Manakeesh, available throughout the day.
For their first anniversary, Cafe Zubaan hosted a community dinner and it was such a memorable evening. They believe in building communities for an effective learning process and for the discussions to flow in a socio-political scenario. The founder started a conversation series called ‘Kahwa aur Kitabein’, which has seen an amazing crowd fruitful discussions on significant topics like gender, class, caste, and more importantly, building a safe place for like-minded individuals to have progressive and thought-provoking discussions.
