A legendary ice cream parlour in the Al-Hamidiyah souk, serving melt-in-your-mouth Syrian booza, a stretchy cold treat made with milk, sahlab orchid-root flour, rose water, mastic tree resin gum and thin-sliced pistachios. They have been pounding the gooey dessert into shape with wooden bats here since opening in 1895, and it's a must-lick stop along your souk exploration.
