Hello, we went to eat Sunday for Mother's day the food spectacular like always but the bus girl that was working in our section wow she needs a lot of training we felt like we were bothering her didn't wait for us to finish before removing the dishes, clean the table with the rag like saying leave.
Very disappointed
Your restaurant it's not MacDonald neither is the price of the food
this place is most definitely overhyped, now the food is good but the price point is not justifiable & it didnt feel like authentic arabic food felt more like fusion. Would highly recommend the cheese puffs & the mouhamara, they give you unlimited fresh pita which is nice, service is very good, its a big restaurant with alot of room & is kid friendly, no parking though
1st time there was hesitant on type of food being Italian but got to say it was excellent table of 4 we shared all the food service was outstanding & price was fai
Service was excellent - efficient, friendly, prompt & non invasive. Small hiccup when I asked for a latte at the end & they brought me a Turkish coffee.
Ambiance was nice - lighting, & music were peaceful. Adequate space. Not too loud. You feel very far away from the person on the other side of the table though.
Food was good, not great. Fresh & some plates were creative, but not remotely worth the price. Cost was straight up blasphemous.
Two tasters menues with a coffee costing almost 500 $ is beyond comprehensible to me- especially for the quantity.
It makes me sad to write this but it was three years since my last visit & the quality & generosity seems to have decreased substantially. For the price of the tasting menu the portions are really disappointing & our group left feeling ripped off. For $500 including 2 cocktails & tip, we expected a lot more.
One of the best meals I've EVER had & I travel a lot (& I'll try anything). Incredible dishes & impeccable service. I would highly recommend the tasting menu, as it's totally worth the price.
The place is more than amazing , the food , the service , the ambience & atmosphere . I really , really enjoyed the restaurant & it was totally worth the price . I will definitely come back . Thank you to all the Damas team !
First visit: Feb 2025. Great food, horrible pricing
The good: amazing food & service. We tried the 5 course tasting menu for 3. We had everything from salad, lamb, to fish & more.
Overall the flavors are really good & the staff was amazing.
The not so good: the olives were very salty & the kibe (?) Was mushy & not good at all.
The $22 drink was good but very small. The small pieces of rack of lamb were cooked well but not seasonsed too well.
the pricing was $160 per person. For the amount of food we were offered, this was easily 2x more than it should have been.
We understand the cost of running a business & the value of good food & service, but $22 for a very small drink & $160 per person when 1 course was literally & egg with cheese & a slice of charcuterie & the last course was a few small pieces of baclava. The pricing was not on par with what was served.
I am not usually this picky but for this price. I am going over every little detail...
Satisfied with the flavors & service but not for nearly $600 with the tax & tip.
