About Yaari
"यादें ताजा हो गईं।" - "Memories rekindled." The little cafes, small street vendors, and the general hustle and bustle of 90s India never stirred the personal bubbles of friendly meet-ups. Whether it is a decadent solo feast or a big 'adda' or hangouts with many other friends, Yaari is here to provide this middle ground, making us just a little closer.
