We are a culinary one-stop shop for hearty sandwiches and specialty dishes that can be enjoyed whenever and wherever you want. The concept was inspired by our parent restaurant—the award-winning Restaurant Damas—but with a twist.
Folfol delivers fast, friendly takeout with consistently high quality Syrian dishes and a menu that includes standout fattoush, shish taouk, shawarma, lamb kebabs, hummus, mujaddara, falafels, and even octopus, all praised for fresh flavors and generous portions. Packaging is frequently described as well thought out and handy for takeout, keeping meals hot and neatly presented, with several notes about attractive presentation and easy leftovers for lunch. Service is often described as excellent, professional, and attentive, with fast, efficient staff and a welcoming atmosphere at pickup. Price is a common point, with many thinking the food offers good value given quality, while others feel the cost is a bit steep for what is received; some reviewers also mention occasional changes to recipes like fattoush or some inconsistencies in delivery quality. Favorites include shawarma, shish taouk, fattoush, hummus, muhammara, and eggplant muttabal, and many call it the best takeout in Montreal. Overall, Folfol comes across as a dependable go to for Syrian inspired takeout with a reputation for flavor, generosity, and quick service, though a few reviews note price and occasional recipe changes as caveats.
We ordered twice the chicken shawarma saj & french fries, loved both times. Shawarma is big & the fries portion was huge. It was the most delicious shawarma I've tried, loved it.
Just dove into a Syrian culinary adventure with Folfol By Damas. Ordered the Chicken Shawarma Saj (aka marinated chicken all cozied up with pickles & garlic mayo - because who wouldn't want to find that in a wrap?) & the Lamb Shawarma Saj (marinated lamb leg doing the tango with Biwaz, pickles, Tahini sauce, & pomegranate molasses - a flavor party I wasn't ready for but absolutely needed). Washed it all down with a fine Shawbridge beer because, well, balance. 🍺 #CulinaryExpedition #BalancedDietMeansBeerRight?

Food is good but RIDICULOUSLY small portion sizes for the price. The shawarma plate only had 3 slices of potatoes & we received only 2 small pita bread... This meal was not worth the 160$ we paid for. The fresh foods (beet mutabbal dip & fried cheese borek) were very good. The foods to reheat (chicken shawarma & kibbeh) were no longer freshly made as before but stored sous-vide, & were dry & lacking flavour. We had amazing takeout from Damas before (prior to Folfol) & we are very disappointed.
Just went & bought 2 saj chicken shawarma, 1 cheese borek, hummous & a drink. I have to say that the taste was just ok for the sandwich: too many spices & it's overpowering compared to other chicken shawarma sandwiches i've had elsewhere. Would i go back no.

Absolutely thrilled that I disregarded the negative reviews & took the plunge with FolFol for my inaugural order which I don't regret at all! Opted for the lamb & chicken shawarma saj, & hands down, this is by faaaaar the finest shawarma I've had here in Montreal at least for the last decade! The hummus & mutabbal are out of this world! & the Yalanji was a delectable delight. The mixed baklava was a symphony of flavors with each bite. Yummy 😋 Of course, this isn't your run-of-the-mill Shami restaurant dishing out hefty, flavorless servings to stuff your stomach with spice. No, it's a culinary haven that leaves your stomach content, not overstuffed, & beckons all your taste buds to revel in their full glory. A++ recommendation for fellow food enthusiasts. Cheers!
This is a high quality take out place with many options that may look overpriced but the ingredients are high quality & the portions are filling. We especially love their hummus, mutabbal, kibbeh aux pistaches, Saj lamb shawarma & halawet Al jibn.
