Damascus Genuine Syrian Flavours

"Atmosphere was good. Staff were good. But that is where it stops, the food was mediocre. Had the hummus, the portion was tiny and the flavour of the meat was horrible, the meat tasted off and has reminance of spam taste, obela hummus or any off the shelf hummus would do a better job. The meat portions are extremly small for the price. The lamb tasted bad, no flavour but was edible. The chicken tasted good with the garlic however 3 out of 4 of the group hated it. The kunafeh was a total joke, presentation is on point as per the pictures, but if I had a chain saw I it would not have helped to cut the portions. Ended up consuming it for the sake that we paid deerly for a single slice where I would of made a much tastier one at home by googling how to do it. Just stay away from this kunafeh so horrible. Chicken was ok Karak tea was good Lamb horrible Hummus is bad Kunafeh abhorrent would not give it to a dog. Price was horrendous over $180 for 4 people and no drinks either, we ended up getting sals after as it was not filling at all. This was my first time and definetly my last time, not that the restaurant would care if I come back or not. Adding to the review after their response. We did not keep ordering food as you say, that is not correct, we thought for a good review might as well try the dessert so at least something would make it move to two stars but that failed as well, unfortunatly that failed misreably. As I said before the service and people are great but the food was lacking heavily, long story short thats for the experience but we wont be coming back. All the best."

"Went down there on a Tuesday night and was surprised to see how busy the place was which we took it as a sign as how popular the place is. We took seats outside and were lucky enough to enjoy one of the wellington's calm and warm nights. The service was great and the food came out promptly. we ordered range of meezes both cold and warm. Hummus with meat, fried cauliflower and the potatoes were the standout meezes. We also shared some of the grill, the lamb was tender and juicy and the chicken was moist and delicious. Was a fantastic meal and would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to try authentic levantine cuisine."

"Ordered one of pretty much everything with a big group and it was all awesome. Loved the lamb! Very tasty. I crammed a few things on one plate sorry, so no appetising shots. They did come plated beautifully!"

"We had a slight hiccup with the booking when I had increased our seats after making the booking online via phone but it wasn't registered. Apart from this, our group were in awe of the food, the flavours, even though were are all big meat eaters but we didn't mind the lack of meat dishes. We ordered all of the hot dishes and all of the grill dishes, and we highly recommend the lamb and the eggplant from the Grill section! Personally I absolutely can't stand lamb due to its distinct smell but I was blown away by the juiciness, the softness, tenderness and the lack of smell from their lamb it was just the talk of the table and long after! The eggplant dish was equally amazing and every piece of vegetable on that plate was flavoured to perfection. Special notes were made of their desserts (we tried them all) and shouldn't be missed. To top this off, the staff at the till was extremely patient with us with our complicated payment scheme and he needed to be applauded!"

"Getting straight to the point, it’s good. The meat was tender and beautifully cooked. The hummus and salads were tasty. It all came v quickly and was delivered with a smile. At the time of writing it didn’t have it’s alcohol license. That wasn’t a problem. We ordered seven dishes for four people, an eighth Would’ve disappeared too. Recommended."
