Beit sitti

The Beit Sitti restaurant (‘My Grandmother’s House’) is one of the best-known eateries offering a unique taste of Syrian cuisine. The name itself perfectly reflects what awaits the guest: a warm, cosy atmosphere just like at Grandma’s house, full of warmth and nostalgic memories.

Beit Sitti is often housed in a traditional Arab house with a courtyard, colourful wooden windows and lovingly decorated corners full of oriental details. Guests don’t just sit down to eat – they experience the preparation of the dishes first-hand. In small groups, they cook traditional Syrian dishes such as kibbeh, tabbouleh, fattoush or mujaddara together – guided by experienced cooks, often grandmothers themselves.

What makes Beit Sitti special is not just the delicious food, but also the idea of keeping Syria’s culinary culture alive and passing it on from generation to generation. It is a place where flavour, memory and community merge – a genuine slice of Syria in the heart of the city.

Syrian cuisine – a culinary experience.
Syrian cuisine is one of the oldest and most diverse in the Middle East. It combines Middle Eastern spices, fresh ingredients and traditional cooking techniques to create a unique taste experience. Typical Syrian dishes include hummus, tabbouleh, kibbeh, falafel, fattoush and, of course, shawarma.

The dishes are often prepared with great care and shared in a convivial atmosphere. Bread plays an important role – particularly the thin flatbread, which is served with almost every dish. Vegetarian dishes are also very popular and widespread.

Syrian food is not only delicious, but also reflects the country’s hospitality and culture. Anyone who tries Syrian cuisine will discover a world full of flavours, traditions and warmth.
