Chapati & Karak, Katara

A warm chapati and a cup of karak make a good break in a Katara walk. The bread can be savoury, with a filling such as cheese, or sweet with honey. Alongside it, karak brings the milky, spiced black tea that gives the café half its name.

This is an easy place to stop when you want a snack without making lunch the centre of the afternoon. One person can have a bread and tea while another adds an extra filling or a second order. It also leaves room for a larger dinner later in the day.

The Katara branch puts the food within the cultural village’s public streets. You can follow a walk past the mosque architecture or amphitheatre with a table here, then continue through the district. The beach and exhibitions offer further ways to spend the afternoon, with their own admission arrangements. The Katara outlet has its own serving hours.
