I have always had a deep passion for art. When I first opened cafe gallery in Richmond in 2016, my vision was to showcase Iranian culture through a unique blend of art and cuisine. To achieve this, I worked directly with artists to present their work in an authentic and meaningful way.
At the time, there was no cafe offering traditional Iranian breakfast dishes. This inspired me to combine these two elements- art and food - into one space, creating a cultural experience that celebrates creativity, heritage, and community.
