Syrian Breakfasts Are a Thing, Here's the Best 6 Spots to Have Them
Brunches are canceled because Syrian breakfasts are all that matter.
We love us a good ole Egyptian breakfast with foul and ta3meya, or even a basic Karen one with an eggs Benedict on a bed of avo toast. But, have you ever had or thought about having a Syrian breakfast? If you don't know what that is, let us enlighten you because it's about to be your new fave obsession. Syrian cuisine is thousands of years old, so it's no wonder that they've gotten breakfast down. A typical Syrian brekkie sees you using pita bread instead of utensils where you have so many options to choose from hawadir (readies or foods that are directly ready to eat from the fridge or pantry). Syrian cheese (from sholal to jebneh beeda) is always a must, creamy fava beans swimming in garlic-tahini yoghurt and melted ghee, fattet hummus, makdous, fatayeer and so much more.
In this article, we've listed down all the spots in the capital that will make you fall in love with Syrian breakfasts.
El Class El Halaby // Rehab City
Deep fried paste of chick peas, fava beans, and a mix of onions and different herbs and spices is what makes the Syrian falafels stand out.
