About Café 1947

A family story told through food

Café 1947 has been more than just a restaurant—it's a journey through time and across borders. Our name honors the year that shaped our region's history, and our menu celebrates the rich culinary heritage that emerged from it.

We are a family-run establishment, cooking with recipes passed down through generations—from our grandmothers' kitchens to yours. Each dish tells a story of travel, tradition, and the friendships formed over countless cups of qahweh.

From the streets of Kabul to the ancient courts of Delhi, from Persian kitchens to Palestinian tables—we bring you artisanal Pan-Eastern cuisine, crafted with patience, cooked with love, and served with the warmth of home.
