tea pantry/tea kitchenette

If we are talking about the same "abdarkhane" that I remember when I was a "dabir" in Kashan, it was a small room where the "mostakhdem" would fix tea for the "dabirs" during our breaks between classes.

We really don't have an exact word for this, but the closest I think would be "tea kitchenette or tea pantry"

"pantry" by itself is a small room/closet for storing foodstuffs, not a room for preparing anything.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantry for the various types of pantry.

Butler's pantry[edit source | editbeta]

A butler's pantry or serving pantry is a utility room in a large house, primarily used to store serving items, rather than food. Traditionally, a butler's pantry was used for storage, cleaning and counting of silver; European butlers often slept in the pantry, as their job was to keep the silver under lock and key. The wine log and merchant's account books may also have been kept in there. The room would be used by the butler and other domestic staff; it is often called a butler's pantry even in households where there is no butler.
In modern homes, butler's pantries are usually located in transitional spaces between kitchens and dining rooms, and used as staging areas for serving meals. They commonly contain countertops, and storage for tableware, serving pieces, table linens, candles, wine, and other dining-room articles. More elaborate versions may include refrigerators, sinks, or dishwashers.
