JEDDAH: The first thing you see when you arrive at this cafe, in Al-Sharafeyah, Jeddah, is the slogan “keep your dimples on.” Not that you need much encouragement, because there is plenty to make you smile.
The interior is a stunning, combining colorful, patchwork “Bohemian” decor with a newspaper-inspired theme. There is also art, including sketches of celebrities such as Will Smith and Leonardo DiCaprio, and the walls are lined with shelves of books.
The food represents the best from a variety of cultures, but the cafe is perhaps best known for its lugaymat, sweet balls of fried dough dipped in syrup. Dimples adds a modern spin with a variety of toppings, including Nutella and pistachio sauce. Other notable dessert options include a bubble waffle. There is also a range of salads and savory waffles.
Whether you are drawn by the literary theme, or the fine food, Dimples is cozy and strangely familiar.
