In the year 1306 (1927) a 28-year old Armenian called Khachik (Khachoo) Madikians, along with his family, emigrated to Iran from Baku and gradually established the Naderi complex that would eventually consist of a bakery, confectionary, café and a hotel. In 1335 (1956), the founder of the complex together with his children created the Hotel Naderi Company which was registered under number 5209 and accordingly, exploited the tangible and intangible assets of the complex, extant in the form of a limited liability company. From the beginning, as evidenced by the respective pictures and images, the façade of the building encompassing the café, the restaurant, the confectionary and the hotel was distinguished with the following mark, representing the business insignia of the café and hotel compound. It was at the premises of Café Naderi that for the first time, western cuisine such as beef steak and Beef Stroganoff and the like were served in Tehran. In addition, café glace, western-style ice cream, Turkish and French coffee, different types of baguette, speciality breads, and a trademark cookie bearing the mark of a senator were sold to customers. In past years, the beautiful yard of Café Naderi and restaurant, luxuriant with its memorable trees, flowers, pond and aquacade, as well as its rich and live music programs, created a lovely ambience, providing an exclusive place for receiving customers, especially during the warm nights of summer. Right from the start, Café Naderi, was a haunt for many artists, writers and renowned literary figures such as Sadegh Hedayat, Nima Youchij , Bozorg Alavi, Jalal Aleahmad, Simin Daneshvar and Ahmad Shamlou . They had chosen the establishment as a good location for meeting and discussing matters of interest. This practice has continued until today, with contemporary and distinguished names in Iranian art and culture, still gathering at Café Naderi and restaurant. In light of the historical and cultural value of this institution, the Cultural Heritage Organization of Tehran city added the Naderi complex to its list of National Heritage Sites of Iran under Decree No. 10446 dated 01/07/1381 (1982). This action was yet another reminder of the vintage features of the Naderi complex. Based on this antiquity and the cultural heritage it embodies, the UNESCO National Commission of Iran has issued its esteemed Certificate of Antiquity and Registration in the Collective Memory for Café Naderi. The Café Naderi, restaurant and hotel is currently managed by the third generation of the Madikians family and their essential objective is the preservation of the cultural identity of the establishment.
