Damasquino Restaurant

In this context, appreciate's too small of a word when it comes to the feeling and flavours of homemade Syrian food - for specifics, mums Syrian food. Pleasant experience with ordering process and generous serving - finished the evening with baklava 👌🏻 I’ll be steeping in anticipation to return to try other items on the menu

Syrian food is typically characterised by its generosity but Damasquino falls short. We ordered a meal for 2 and we were still hungry after eating there even though it cost a fortune. Skewers were not fresh and were also tiny. In 40 years - these were the smallest skewers I have ever had - (imagine normal size satay skewers etc and then imagine if they were 1/2 stacked only). Amount of dips and salad are also unbelievably ungenerous - about as much dip as a McDonalds tub of sauce. If it weren't a family business - I would score it lower. The dessert was very nice however.

We had the Damasquino vegan meal - $45 - came with Syrian rice, a dukkah pastry, tomato and onion pastry, cabbage salad, lentil and rice dish, tomato bulgur, spinach, two falafels, hummus and a spicy tomato dip. The dish was very fresh and not too heavy. The falafels were perfectly fried with a crispy outside and soft inside. The spicy tomato dip was the highlight of the dish and added extra flavour. This dish could easily be shared among two people.
