Tamari kaak

Tamari kaak, a sandwich-type sweet, is considered one of the most popular foods in the old neighborhoods of Damascus. It is one of the most notable street foods in Syria, consisting of a pancake and a filling. The pancake is made with flour, sugar, and water, while the filling consists of tahini, grape or date molasses, and banana slices, topped with toasted sesame seeds and powdered sugar.

Recently, some vendors have also started adding condensed milk and chocolate to enhance the flavor. This sandwich is popular only in Damascus and is hard to find in other Syrian cities. Most vendors are located in the Al-Fahama district and the Al-Hamidiyah market but are also spread throughout the capital.
