It's nine in the morning, a good time to visit an Irani restaurant for breakfast. But two Iranian members of the U Mumba kabaddi team - captain Fazel Atrachali and coach Gholamreza Mazandarani accompanying us - have no clue where they are heading when they set out of their Worli hotel.

They don't know what they are getting into when we reach Mahim. On entering the restaurant, the Pro Kabaddi League players are greeted by a fellow Irani speaking their language (Persian). That's when they realise they are in for some local cuisine. Cafe Irani Chaii's owner, Prof Mansoor Showghi Yezdi is thrilled over hosting the duo. His eyes light up and the hugs are warm and big.
