Fodor's Expert Review Kahala

Recharge in an elegant setting in the Old City, sampling delicious pastries and coffee or perhaps a glass of wine. This small café, set in a 200-year old building, is run by local architect Razan Zoubi, whose professional studio is upstairs. Around the corner from Al-Reda restaurant but in the same building, Kahala uses Al-Reda's kitchen to create delicious homemade cookies. Nibble a coffee-pecan or tahini-almond biscuit with a perfect espresso as you browse Razan's beautiful collection of Arab-designed modern and ancient architecture books.
