This Cafe Is Spread Across Two Beautiful Levels – A Cozy First Floor And A Stunning Rooftop Seating Area. Being Located Near The Fort, The Rooftop Offers A Truly Pleasant And Refreshing View, Making It A Perfect Spot To Relax. The Ambience Is Absolutely Top-Notch, With A Calm And Soothing Vibe. You Can Clearly See The Effort Put Into The Interior, Especially With The Elegant White Theme That Adds A Clean And Classy Touch. Their Menu Has A Wide Variety Of Options To Choose From. We Tried The Cappuccino (1.6 OMR), And It Was Impressive – Rich In Aroma, Smooth In Texture, And Perfectly Balanced In Taste. Overall, A Great Place To Unwind, Enjoy The View, And Have A Quality Cup Of Coffee. Highly Recommended! ☕✨

The egg and cheese croissant and french toast were really good!! The drinks unfortunately were not the best. Both were bitter for our liking. We got an iced Spanish latte and hot white mocha. The view of the fort and masjid from our seat was beautiful.

Probably the best location in Nizwa for people-watching from a rooftop balcony close to the fort. Tasty breakfast and coffee, slightly on the pricey side.

Athar Cafe is a must-visit in Nizwa! The terrace offers an amazing view, and the food and drinks are just as impressive. I absolutely loved their delicious rose latte and the fantastic pomegranate cake. All of this combined made for an unforgettable experience that I will always remember. Even during the heat, the terrace is comfortable thanks to their ACs. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy Nizwa!
