Café Und Feinkost Reyhhan

There are places to discover. Like the Café Reyhan . It is located in the sharp curve of the busy Metzer Strasse of the B41 in Alt-Saarbrücken. Right behind the guide. Those who pass by hardly have the time to perceive it as a cafe, despite the golden curved lettering Reyhan Company on the windows on the ground floor. However, if you take the time to stay there or walk up to the Metzer Strasse 65, you are not surprised: Parvin Fakhamzadeh has transformed the former workshop into a cozy living room café. That was an absolute rupture bud when I bought the rooms in 2019, she tells. So wet and muffy that the new owner had to dry the walls first before it went to the thorough renovation.They took place during the Corona pandemic.And only a few months ago the Iranian woman was able to open her café with fine food offer. In Reyhan, open from Monday to Saturday from 9:30 to 18:30, there are fine tea and special coffee. For example, a sand-cooked coffee balance from North Africa. Or a classic Iranian black tea with kardamon and saffron. Saffron must be murdered, says Parvin. It also has a natural anti-depressive effect, adds it laughingly and puts a gold-plated cup, whose content smells delicious. Parvin Fakhamzadeh had to flee from Iran for the second time in 2019 after the Mullah regime had torn down the dry yeast factory of her family. A bad story she doesn't like to talk about. But the woman is a machinist, cannot be subjugated and has filled a dream with the Reyhan, named after her grandmother and at the same time the Persian word for basil. Your breakfast guests take place at round tables with colorful chairs and tablecloths. I attach great importance to regional and good quality, says Parvin, who is temporarily supported by her 24-year-old son in the café. After and after she wants to expand her offer.Who comes to breakfast can choose between a conventional breakfast with egg, sausage, cheese and jam or a vegan alternative. Tea lovers are here in the right place. For winter, Parvin has undertaken to take the beautiful green tile stove back in B etrieb. And a bigger sign would be nice, she laughs. For her cafe behind the Leitplanke. (Extract SZ of 28.04.23)
