Cafe Al Quishla

If you’re visiting Damascus, Al Qashla Café is a place you simply shouldn’t miss. Set inside a beautifully restored traditional Damascene house, it perfectly captures the charm, history, and elegance of old Damascus while offering a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The café features a variety of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating areas, along with a small gallery showcasing artwork, antiques, and traditional décor that adds to its authentic character. Every corner is full of history and makes for a wonderful experience. One of the highlights is the Damascene mulberry juice, which is absolutely delicious and a must-try during your visit. The service is excellent—friendly, attentive, and professional. Prices are reasonable and offer good value for the overall experience. The café becomes very busy in the evenings and on weekends, so making a reservation in advance is highly recommended. Overall, Al Qashla Café is much more than just a café—it’s a cultural experience and one of the most charming places to enjoy the authentic spirit of Damascus. Highly recommended.

One of those special places that you leave, but it never leaves you. A simple cafe that serves drinks, hookah and sandwiches. It screams Damascus so quietly. Love it 🌺

Al Qichla Historical Café is a true gem of Old Damascus. Rich in history, full of authentic Damascene atmosphere, and perfect for enjoying coffee surrounded by heritage. The most special part was the magnificent mulberry juice it was amazing…

One of the most charming places in the old city of Damascus, very authentic place, renovated and decorated to present the humble, hipster-like, Young damascene culture in a very sophisticated historical traditional damascene house, a nice chilled crowd and always good vibes. Since it’s a café and not a restaurant, they don’t serve meals, but they have the most delicious hot sandwiches and traditional drinks. Unfortunately no alcohol but the Shisha will give you good mood.

Nice 👍🏻 The only drawback is that there is a lot of inconvenience in the place, it works for the drinks only and the hookah
