Ainkawa, Erbil
The morning ritual

We laminate by hand before dawn, mill our own flour, and pull espresso from beans roasted three streets away. Everything you taste at Zêrîn was made this morning, nothing waits for tomorrow.

The best croissant I have had outside of Paris, and I have looked. The room glows at breakfast.

We booked the courtyard for a birthday. Impeccable service, and the pistachio everything is unreal.

My morning ritual now. Slow coffee, warm simit, and a view of the Citadel. Perfect.
