My husband & I visited for a special evening & were warmly welcomed from the moment we arrived. We were invited to choose a cocktail, & I was especially pleased that a non-alcoholic version was available.
The food was beautifully presented, but the flavours & taste surpassed even its lovely appearance. Everything was delicious & made the evening truly memorable.
We will certainly be visiting again in the future. A wonderful experience from start to finish!

Très déçue du service de ce soir. On nous a refusé les desserts & demandé de quitter le restaurant à 21h07, sous prétexte que l'équipe devait préparer le deuxième service prévu à 21h30.

Je n'ai jamais expérimenté un traitement pareil, que ce soit dans des restaurants haut de gamme ou dans des établissements plus modestes. Demander à des clients qu'ils doivent partir alors qu'ils n'ont même pas terminé leur repas est particulièrement désagréable &, à mon sens, inacceptable.

J'étais une cliente fidèle depuis plusieurs années & c'est malheureusement la dernière fois que je viens dans cet établissement. Ni ma famille ni moi n'y remettrons les pieds.

This is one of the best if not the best middle eastern I have been in Montreal. The service was impeccable. I have been to Damas a few times & I think the food is on the same level but for half the price. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good restaurant!

The food was incredible, but unfortunately the service was pretty disappointing. We went Sunday night, & our server seemed like she really didn't want to be there. We weren't brought any water, & she never came back to check on us or see how everything was.

Luckily, she left before we finished our meal & the server who took over was much friendlier & more attentive.

Amazing food, but the service definitely put a damper on the experience.
