Good atmosphere, delicious shawrma,, best green tea served with honey and lemon. In winters, they also place coal heaters around you which makes atmosphere lovely and cold sea breeze bearable. Have been there multiple times and never disappointed with quality and taste. Highly recommended.

Visited Damascus after a long time, happy to see the improved ambiance, quality of food & service. The revival of the old sauces and spices reminded me of the golden days when Damascus was at its peak of splendour. The classic shwarma, pizza and furrouge was a true treat for the taste buds. Recommended for all Damascus lovers to revisit and relive the original Damascus experience that has returned once again. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to another visit with family and friends soon.The place have outdoor seating, so it is very suitable for the people who use wheel chairs.

Expensive. Food is decent but nothing exceptional. Service is mediocre. Ambiance .. well its in the middle of a parking lot. Their pizza is good value for money though, the only decently stuffed crust Ive had so far.

I visited here coz it was a saviour for my time of need. Loved the hummus they make. Had to only drive through for a pick up. Accompanied with the bran pita breads they had, it was a meal in itself.

I have been visiting this place since 2001 and every time I have found the taste as inviting as it was first time. The farrouge platter is their speciality and I like how they do the chicken without much of spices. The blend of olive oil dipped in the special cream sauces wrapped in whole grain pita bread tickles your taste buds. Love the place and their uniqueness.

Not the value for money. We ordered Pizza there. It was bland, tasteless. Shawarma Platter was also too ordinary. Seating place was nice, since the weather was nice, it was airy and pleasant

Review №13

An institution that has been essential to the casual outdoor dining and sheesha (back in the day) for decades.I went there after years and ordered the same dishes we used to order more than 15 years ago. Everything was just as good as I remembered.

Great place to sit outside and enjoy Karachis beautiful evenings. Service is good, cats roaming around and getting tangled up in your feet and always tons of fun. You can no longer get sheesha/hookah, hope that comes back soon.

By far the most authentic shawarma in town although sometimes they over do the garlic sauce. Its still my go to place for shawarma craving even after almost 16 years

Review №84

Damascus is a nice restaurant good for gatherings of friends and having a cup of tea and some snacks full marks for the environment which is a parking area and a makeshift tea and snack restaurant in the evening usually group of boys and girls are seen chatting for long hours over a cup of tea or coffee. The menu is good but a hit expensive as the plate of fries is over 200. But the taste is reasonable and full marks for environment. Personal favorite is the shwarma ...

Visited Damascus at clifton. Its been around for a while and was expecting some traditional Syrian / Lebanese cuisine. But sorry to say the food quality was very mediocre and didnt really stand out. The hummus and mutable was really bland and disappointing The pita bread was fresh and tasty and the nephew and nice enjoyed their chicken zinger burgers. However wouldnt recommend Damascus if you are expecting Syrian /Lebanese cusine

Ta

Damascus is one of the only resteraunts that offer a complete gluten free menu. For all of us deprived and craving for some bread based food. This is the place to go.

One of the pioneers in chai paratha business. And their parathas have remained as tasty as when they started making them. The area is an open space which is good for a casual hangout with friends and family.
