The kitchen prioritizes high-quality spices and fresh produce to construct complex, layered flavor profiles characteristic of Middle Eastern heritage. Signature dishes such as fattoush and kibbeh exhibit a commitment to meticulous preparation and bold, aromatic herbs. The interior design mirrors the cultural vibrancy of the region through intricate textures and warm, ambient lighting. This establishment represents a significant destination for those seeking a comprehensive exploration of Mediterranean-inspired dishes prepared with technical precision. Each plate emphasizes the rich, diverse culinary landscape of Syria while maintaining a focus on structural balance and traditional ingredient sourcing.

It's okay. On the menu it said one thing, but on the plate something was missing. Once to try, but there's better places - better tasting & less pricey.

Super restaurant avec des plats extraordinairement bon ! En plus de la quantité+qualité que je n'ai pas trouvé ailleurs. Le service est 5/5, jamais vu pareil !!! Je recommande fortement ce restaurant & j'ai hâte d'y retourner 😉

Really amazing food! We come from Toronto, luckily reserved for todays dinner, so delicious! Elliot & other 2 ladies served very well! Really beyond our expectations! Definitely recommend! We will come again! Hope next time we will have the same luck to have a seat when we come to Montreal!

Beautiful restaurant! We got the tasting menu & it was so delicious with great variety. One of my favourite things was the fried shrimp with labneh. The tasting menu is a little pricey in my opinion but it is filling & very well made. I would love to come back & just order dishes from the menu though!

Atmosphere is super charged & very welcoming. Food is superb. Especially the hummus & lamb, fatouche salad, the prawns. These all sound basic, but the best version of each dish furreal! Professional, smiling service.

Sure, go get your poutine & smoked meats from those other places. But, if you're in Montreal & you don't go to Damas, you are missing one of the best meals you will ever experience.
