Very good atmosphere, but food was disappointing to be honest. Not very flavourful, usually good Arabic restaurants will make me feel right at home like my grandma or mother’s cooking, but felt like the food lacked heart and flavour.
Chai latte is very good on the other hand and decent service.

Was given a lovely seat at the front of the restaurant that overlooks the cathedral. On ordering they took my vegan order very seriously. I got one of their amazing flatbread wraps which was delicious and filling. I got an earl grey tea with almond milk and the server double checked it was the right milk. Service was lovely, atmosphere is wonderful! I can’t wait to come back and try some more of the menu. Clearly labelled vegan items on the website and menu. Freshly prepared food and the place was spotless.
My only note of improvement was there was only one toilet working ans there was a queue going up the stairs which was awkward. They were running out of loo roll and the toilet seat was coming off.

Ordered salmon£soft cheese fatayer, salmon was brown which means it's spoiled. The restaurant refused to change it for the fresh one and refused to refund the dish. I was also told by a staff member they serve brown salmon like this often. Its A shame as it used to be a good place.

Gorgeous food, and very reasonably priced for the portions. Everything was delicious and for those who eat with their eyes they provide take away boxes for the leftovers too. Extremely friendly and efficient service, and all staff very pleasant and courteous - special thanks to our waitress Hannah who very patiently answered about a thousand questions!

Been waiting for 15mnts 3 service staff have passed by and despite trying to get them to take an order...I'm still waiting. I'm going to give it another 10mnts and then if I still don't get served...walking out. Such a shame as food is amazing (been here before and service was terrible then too).
I do hope they read these reviews and improve.

The first time we've managed to get in and eat here. Absolutely delicious hummus with mixed meats and the zingy salad. Our tap water never arrived but the food was glorious and we hope to come back soon.

I havent been to Damascena for such a long time, there was a 20 mins wait which we were happy to wait but the service was terrible. I tried to order numerous times but just got ignored. We were waiting over 40 mins to order food and we just walked out, i understand that it can be busy at times but to be ignored is just not on.

Food and service was great, however, it is too loud to have a conversation in.

If u want to come here for lunch and just grab food on the go, forget about it. You will wait for 30 minutes even though you’ve ordered just 1 goddamn wrap. An absolute joke!!! Absolutely unacceptable
