Inside the app

Everything about a café, before you go.

Six things QawaDoz does that a map alone can’t.

  1. 01

    Find the right café

    Search by name, or filter by what matters: open now, price level, Wi-Fi, outdoor seating, a family section, shisha, live music or a city view.

    Every café on one map

    From old chaikhanas to new specialty roasters. Near me puts the closest first, with how far each one is.

    One page that says it all

    Hours, price level, directions and a way to call — the café’s own menu, and ratings for the coffee, the place, the service and the value.

    The coffee guide

    Espresso, flat white, Spanish latte, Kurdish and Turkish coffee — what is in the cup, how strong it is and how much caffeine.

    Your café passport

    Collect a stamp from every café you go to. Ticked at the café itself, it is verified; go back again and it grows into a regular’s badge.

    The café passport

Made with care

Free, private, and in your language.

  • Free, for everyone

    Browse without an account. Sign in with Apple, Google or email only to save cafés, rate them and keep your passport.

  • Names only by choice

    Who’s here shows how lively a café is right now. A first name appears only for people who turn on “Show me at cafés”.

  • In your language

    Kurdish (Sorani), Arabic and English — right to left where it should be, in light and dark.

One app, three languages

Made for Erbil — in Kurdish, Arabic and English.

Change the language any time from your profile, and the whole app turns with it, right to left included.

Questions

Good to know

Is QawaDoz free?

Yes. The app is free for everyone, with no ads.

Do I need an account?

No. Every café can be seen without one. Sign in with Apple, Google or email to save cafés, rate them and keep your passport.

Which cities does it cover?

Erbil, for now — every café we know of in the city.

A café is missing, or its details are wrong.

Tell us from the app with “Suggest a café”, and we add or correct it. If the café is yours, write to us and look after its page yourself.

Who can see that I’m at a café?

Only a number, unless you turn on “Show me at cafés” — then people see your first name. You can hide or report anyone.

How do I delete my account?

In the app, from Profile → Settings. The page below says what is deleted. Deleting your account
