Damascus Restaurant

Nick Van Rooyen★★★★★

My wife's review: "Last night my husband surprised me with a birthday dinner at Damascus Syrian Restaurant, and I am still reflecting on what was truly an exceptional experience. Over the years, I have been fortunate to celebrate my birthday at many carefully selected, beautiful restaurants. I am accustomed to thoughtful spoiling.

I am of Lebanese descent, and throughout all my travels abroad, there is no Middle Eastern restaurant to compare with Damascus in Sea Point. Their food is outstanding, with an incredible selection of both food and beverages - especially their Syrian coffee. Their food is real comfort food like my Grandmother made, and taught us to make.

I recently dined at Damascus Restaurant, and honestly, it was one of the best Arabic food experiences I’ve had. I tried the mixed grill platter and chicken mandi both were absolutely delicious. The mandi rice was full of flavor, and you could taste the spices in every bite. I had mandi in many countries, even in the Middle East, but this one truly stands out. I also tried apple tea for the first time, and it was surprisingly refreshing. Meeting the head chef was a bonus such a humble and kind person. Definitely a place I would visit again.

A restaurant that offers you a trip to the Niddle East without even leaving Cape Town. From the attentive service , the interior decor , large choice menu & presentation, you’ll be set for a truly authentic dining experience. Each plate placed on the table, carried the smell of flavour before you’ve even began to tuck in. The mezze platter, chicken wings & meat grill selection is a must try. Food & drinks are super fresh. Highly recommend, family friendly & a guaranteed new favourite.
