Yazdani is a Fort institution that has run since 1953, a small bakery and cafe behind St. Thomas Cathedral known for bread and biscuits baked in a wood-fired oven. It keeps to a handful of tables and a counter piled with khari, Shrewsbury biscuits and its signature mawa cake. The room has changed little in decades, and regulars treat the peeling paint and red signboard as part of the charm.
