Big restaurant


September 25, 2008 | permalink |


We're visiting the world's largest restaurant for today's Geo Quiz. This place has enough tables and chairs to accommodate over 6,000 diners at a time.

That beats the Royal Dragon in Bangkok that can only handle 5,000. The place we want you to name shares part of its name with the Syrian city that is its home. The city was designated the Arab capital of culture this year. Serving thousands of diners requires more than 200 cooks and helpers and a big kitchen. Very big, as in the size of a large supermarket.

During Ramadan, this restaurant welcomes crowds of customers who arrive after dusk for their evening meal.

So, can you name this Syrian restaurant that can seat a party of six thousand?
