How it works
Traditional chai-khanehs (tea houses) and restaurants along the banks of the Zayandeh River near Si-o-Seh Pol (33 Arches Bridge) and Khaju Bridge are popular with tourists and known to present menus without prices, or to add items to the bill that were not ordered. A basic tea and hookah session can be billed at 10–20 times the local rate, with the bill handed over after the fact with no recourse.
