History
How we started
In 1969 Haji Mohammad Ali setup the business in Saddar Market area surrounded by a number of educational institutions.
Biryani was a popular dish for the masses as the area was deprived of a proper food supplier. It was an ideal time and place to start selling this popular dish.
This prompted Haji Sahib to test the market by selling Biryani.
The Biryani was prepared by Haji Mohammad Ali and his family members at home from home made spices and recipe.
It was a small dhaaba with a bamboo roof supported by wooden pillars with waiting staff comprised of two elder sons serving with limited seating capacity.
Started with one tumbler (Deg) of Biryani serving about 40 people per day.
The outlet was surrounded by various educational institutions i.e. St Joseph, St Patrick's, St Paul's and various Government Schools.
The business was named Caf้ Student;
To attract students of the proximity
Economical food for the market
