Bakdash (ice cream parlor)

Bakdash (Arabic: بَكْدَاش, romanized: Bakdāš), alternatively romanised as Bakdach, is a landmark ice cream parlor in the Al-Hamidiyah Souq in the ancient city of Damascus.^[1] Established in 1895, it is famous for its traditional Middle Eastern booza—a mastic frozen dairy dessert.^[1]^[2] It is noted around the Arab world and has become a popular tourist attraction.^[2]

A second branch opened in Amman, Jordan in 2013 to cater to a growing Syrian diaspora there—amidst the Syrian civil war, slowing economic activity, and supply chain problems at the main Damascene branch.^[1]
