Uniformed waiters with bow ties and waistcoats shuffle around the two floors of tightly set tables inside this welcome alternative to the city’s smoky and male-dominated cafes. Family friendly and with a large nonsmoking section, Chahrazad offers a large choice of brightly colored and deliciously creamy gâteaux and pastries, along with ice-cream sundaes, pizza slices, and a selection of different coffees and teas. The U-shape gold-and-rust-color interior doesn’t offer much people-watching, but does allow for some privacy and an escape from the hustle and bustle outside.
