-=| The Desert Oasis Cafe |=-

The Desert Oasis Cafe is one of the most popular eateries lining The Souk Bazaar. The outside of the cafe is painted a dark orange-red, and matching glass beads hang in the open doorway. A patio of sorts with tables and chairs extends from the front of the restaurant, allowing guests a place to sit and eat in the sun when weather permits. The tantalizing scents of a thousand different spices, roasting chicken and beef, and freshly baked pocket bread waft from the door and windows, luring hungry shoppers in.

Paintings of camels and pyramids line the walls of the cozy interior of the restaurant. A simple glass skylight and several candles give the inside a warm, comforting glow. The menuboard, written in chalk to reflect daily specials and new additions, hangs from the ceiling. After customers order their food from the counter, waiters and waitresses bring them their food when it is prepared. Although unconventional, this method has worked stunningly well for the restaurant for generations.

Kalilah Soliem runs the restaurant with the help of various family members. She uses fresh, hand-picked ingredients, many of which come from the Bazaar just a few feet away from the doorway of her restaurant. Unlike some other restaurants in Arakmat, which cater to the diverse population's tastes by serving dishes that are popular all over the empire, Kalilah takes pride in sharing her family's traditional recipes for comfort food.

The menuboard, written in chalk, hangs from the ceiling and reads:
