Traditional

Turkish and Syrian coffee

Turkish coffee is not espresso in a small cup. It is ground far finer, brewed with the water rather than through it, and served with the grounds settled at the bottom — which is why it takes longer and why it is worth waiting for.

We make it the traditional way, and the Syrian style alongside it. Order it with a plate of lady fingers or warbat and you have the standard afternoon across most of the Levant.

Questions

What is the difference between Turkish and Syrian coffee?

Roast and spicing. Syrian coffee is usually lighter and often cardamom-forward; Turkish is darker and thicker. Try both and pick.

Do I drink the grounds?

No — let the cup sit for a moment so the grounds settle, and stop before the bottom.

What do you serve with it?

Eastern sweets. Lady fingers at $4.99 for three, or warbat at $11.99.
