Diners encounter an expansive array of mezze including velvety hummus and smoky baba ghanouj alongside expertly seasoned grilled meats. 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.

Nous sommes allés souper au Damas pour la première fois hier & nous n’avons pas été déçus ! Bien que le menu soit dispendieux, tout en valait le prix. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation. La nourriture était plus que délicieuse ! & que dire du service ! Impeccable de l’accueil jusqu’à la sortie. Notre serveur était très gentil & nous a fait de belles recommandations. Nous recommandons assurément cet endroit !

Déjà deux fois à Damas, & ce ne sera certainement pas la dernière fois.

Peu de mots suffisent : essayez-le vous-même.

Certes, le prix est élevé, mais cela vaut la peine d'essayer au moins une fois.

Le service est à la hauteur de nos attentes. Je recommande sans aucun doute. La cuisine syrienne a été mon coup de cœur de cette année

Le système de réservation en ligne est une fumisterie! Jamais rien avant 21hrs que vous demandiez 10 ou 30 jours à l'avance.
