24/7 hours are listed for Café Aleppo in Terminal 1
Café Aleppo is marked as a 24/7, post-security Syrian café in Terminal 1 at Aleppo International Airport, but frequent-flyer forums and recent trip reports don’t clearly confirm that it’s actually operating right now. Treat the name on any map or brochure as “maybe” rather than a lock.
The listing says price tier $, so if it exists you’re looking at basic coffee, soft drinks, and light snacks in the low local price range rather than a full sit-down meal. The airport overall has very limited food options, and several travellers on Reddit mention bringing their own water and snacks because outlets inside ALP are scarce and sometimes closed without notice.
Official info pegs Café Aleppo as post-security in Terminal 1, which matters because there’s no airside connection to anything else: once you clear security, you’re stuck with whatever is actually open near your gate. Don’t assume you can clear immigration late and still find hot food here before a 02:00 departure.
The supposed signature dish is a fattoush salad, a straightforward local option with fried bread and vegetables. If the place is open and the kitchen is running, that’s the one item worth asking for first; it tells you more about the kitchen’s freshness than a reheated sandwich or a pastry that might have been on the counter since the morning.
Watch out for: zero recent photos, zero current reviews, and several reports (2023–2025) of Aleppo International having minimal or shuttered concessions, especially around late-night and very early flights. Don’t plan a meal here as your only option; treat it as a bonus if the lights are on.
Practical tip: eat in the city before heading to ALP, then carry a snack and a bottle of water bought landside, in case Café Aleppo is just a line on an outdated terminal map.
