The Scene Eats Kahk 2021 Guide

Basbousa, konafa and katayef are among many of the few things we gorged on during Ramadan. Kahk, however, is another story. With Eid knocking on our doors, the season for kahks and only kahks has arrived and we cannot wait to devour them all day, everyday -- we're not even joking tbh because we're totes having them for breakfasts, lunches and dinners.

This is exactly why we've scoured the entire city for the best spots to order the iconic dessert to make you forget about Corona this Eid.
