The Azadegan Teahouse, tucked down an alley near Naqsh-e Jahan Square, is a legendary Isfahan chaikhaneh crammed floor to ceiling with lanterns, bells, tools and curiosities. Serving fragrant Persian tea, dizi stew and qalyan in a wonderfully atmospheric setting, it is a beloved gathering place where locals and travellers linger for hours, and a quintessential taste of Iranian teahouse culture.
