the board is waiting.
A street coffeehouse in Sayeda Zeinab since 1958. Tea brewed in the glass, coffee on charcoal, backgammon and dominoes, and the match on the big screen.

Coffee with medium sugar. Not plain, not sweet.
“Koshary”
Tea brewed right in the glass, not in a pot.
“Ala el nar”
On the fire: your order was heard and it’s on its way. Sit back.
