A wonderful range of Syrian food, The flavours are well exectuted and the dishes are fresh and clean. The wine selection is wonderful and the staff and owner are friendly. I would recommend the capsicum dip, eggplant and Chicken shish as my top three although the others are also very good. 10/10

One of our go to place for authentic Syrian food. Menu is well thought out. Service is always top notch!
The Tuesday platters are amazing and are definitely a must try !! The only downfall for me would be the dessert however, they use to make an amazing pistachio ice cream which was very good.

This restaurant is absolutely one of the BEST Middle Eastern restaurants in Wellington. The food is ALWAYS amazing, tasty, and perfectly cooked. Never had anything that I haven't liked! The staff is friendly and welcoming. They are very knowledgeable about the food and make excellent recommendations. We've brought as many of our friends here as we can because we just LOVE this place so much.

Went down there on a Tuesday night and was surprised to see how busy the place was which we took it as a sign as how popular the place is. We took seats outside and were lucky enough to enjoy one of the wellington's calm and warm nights. The service was great and the food came out promptly. we ordered range of meezes both cold and warm. Hummus with meat, fried cauliflower and the potatoes were the standout meezes. We also shared some of the grill, the lamb was tender and juicy and the chicken was moist and delicious. Was a fantastic meal and would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to try authentic levantine cuisine.

The great reviews and recommendation in the Kia Ora magazine definitely hold true- very yum food. Great to read about the last remaining Syrian wine producer. Only 15 tables so you need to book and pay a deposit. Worth it!

We nabbed a last minute booking and were seated at the bar, it did not disappoint! The staff were attentive and knowledgeable and the food was incredible. We opted for the banquet and every plate was delicious. We will definitely be back!

Getting straight to the point, itâs good. The meat was tender and beautifully cooked. The hummus and salads were tasty. It all came v quickly and was delivered with a smile. At the time of writing it didnât have itâs alcohol license. That wasnât a problem. We ordered seven dishes for four people, an eighth Wouldâve disappeared too. Recommended.

Delicious food, every dish was full of flavour, good and quick service, friendly staff, and a really nice place to share a meal. Have been there twice for lunch now. Can't wait to try more from the menu. The only little down side was, some of the dishes were smaller in size. But, the other time I went with a couple of friends. We paid $20 each, for a shared lunch and all of us were reasonably full and really happy with everything we tried. Definitely going back to try other dishes on the menu.

We had a slight hiccup with the booking when I had increased our seats after making the booking online via phone but it wasn't registered. Apart from this, our group were in awe of the food, the flavours, even though were are all big meat eaters but we didn't mind the lack of meat dishes.
We ordered all of the hot dishes and all of the grill dishes, and we highly recommend the lamb and the eggplant from the Grill section! Personally I absolutely can't stand lamb due to its distinct smell but I was blown away by the juiciness, the softness, tenderness and the lack of smell from their lamb it was just the talk of the table and long after! The eggplant dish was equally amazing and every piece of vegetable on that plate was flavoured to perfection. Special notes were made of their desserts (we tried them all) and shouldn't be missed. To top this off, the staff at the till was extremely patient with us with our complicated payment scheme and he needed to be applauded!

Seriously good food! Havenât had anything this authentic since eating in the city of Damascus and elsewhere in Syria when you could still travel there. Portions are very generous so go with a group to share the experience đ

The food lived up to the hype of late. It was absolutely stunning. The staff were informative and fabulous. Loved everything. The fact the restaurant was full gave it a humming atmosphere in what is an average venue. Definitely going back as soon as I can get in!

We shared such a great meal here. The food was delicious with exciting range of dishes & fresh flavours. We enjoyed every dish we ordered & looking forward to trying different ones next time.
The service was also fantastic - attentive, knowledgeable & friendly, which is quite uncommon these days.
Would definitely recommend

We had an early dinner before the WOW show at the weekend. Loved the range of dishes, which worked especially well for the vegetarian diner of our group. Excellent value for money, and fun to try a different cuisine for a change. We all loved the cauliflower! Delightful staff, excellent service and a great experience all round.

We dined as a group of 3 & shared 5 plates plus a dessert each. Plus 2-3 glasses of wine each. Cost approx $85pp. All of the food was delicious, we were full at the end and very satisfied. We dined at 8.15pm so the atmosphere was busy, until the end. I would definitely return again.

Damascus has such a nice atmosphere, we went for the first time this Saturday as a group but it would also be a great spot for a date. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was great. Each dish felt really special and prepared with love and the portions could be shared easily.
We got to try some things we'd never had before like the kishk khadra which was so good, somehow equally rich and refreshing. Wine and dessert was also gorgeous, all in all a really interesting and delicious meal in a beautiful setting. Super vegetarian friendly too - will definitely be back :)

Wonderful taste, fast service, friendly and helpful staff! LOVE IT!
The lamb shish is super good we ordered an additional plate directly. Kafta is also tasty and the chick peas are just perfect. All the dippings we ordered were satisfying as well, with baba gamoush as our favorite. The falafel is also perfect and I have no complaints to the tabouleh.
And on top of that, the food is HALAL! Alhamdulillah!
Super happy to go back here again. I havenât tried the dessert yet đ.
Parking is available, it might be tricky during peak hours.
