Welcome to Kismet Cafe

Kismet Cafe, founded in 2001, is a family-owned restaurant. Serving Stow for 15 years, Kismet Cafe is popular with Kent State University students. We serve hearty and healthy homemade food that tastes like home.

Kismet Cafe serves authentic, high-quality, affordable food.

Kismet Cafe is a casual, all-day restaurant.

The Kismet Cafe menu reimagines Mideast flavors for current-day Ohio.

Our food is meant to be eaten with friends…so come hungry and bring lots of company.

We get all of our ingredients from small, local growers and forge personal relationships with all of our farmers and producers.

Kismet Cafe has a 15% service charge, which allows us to provide equal wages to all of our employees. However, a service charge is not the same as gratuity. Gratuity is optional.

Come see us soon!
