Welcome to Raqwa Café
Our story
At Raqwa Café, we bring the spirit of Old Damascus to life. From the moment you walk in, you’re not just entering a restaurant you’re stepping into Syria’s rich history, culture, and soul. Our space is inspired by the architecture and charm of vintage Damascene restaurants, with every corner designed to feel like a warm embrace from the past.
What sets us apart is simple: we cook like home. Our chefs are Syrian mothers and grandmothers who prepare every meal with the same love and care they’ve shown their families for generations. We use the same ingredients, the same methods, and the same passion. Raqwa is not a commercial kitchen it’s a home kitchen, and you’re our guest.
Our evenings come alive with the sounds of a live band playing beloved Syrian and Middle Eastern classics songs that stir memories, stories, and emotions for many. We proudly share our culture not just through food and music, but through a message: this is the real Syria. A country of peace, diversity, and deep-rooted hospitality, where people of all backgrounds live side by side.
At Raqwa, we are not just serving meals we are serving heritage. We see ourselves as cultural ambassadors, reshaping the way the world sees Syria. And whether you join us for a meal, Private function, or our one-of-a-kind “trend menu,” know that here at Raqwa Café,
