Comida tradicional siria y libanesa

Como buena pessssada que soy con el humus le pondría 5 estrellas, tremendo. Está todo buenísimo, te adaptan todos los platos vegetarianos a veganos y tienen hasta opciones de postres. Si no habláis mucho inglés, casi todas las camareras hablan español y al señor camarero/dueño no parece importarle de dónde seas para darte conversación, él solo quiere hablar y practicar su inglés y recomendarte cosas ricas. Es el señor más cuqui que me ha atendido jamás en un restaurante. Me preguntó también si en los platos para compartir que íbamos a pedir (donde también podías añadir queso) me importaba que estuviera el queso al lado. Hay dos cocineros, uno de Líbano y otro de Siria y hay diferentes especialidades. Las porciones son enormes y aunque parezca estándar tirando a caro para Dublín, merece mucho la pena.

Dissapointing 0/5

We had lunch. ( lunch menu had one price listed outside & on their website & yet same menu was dearer when seated ! )
Waiter didn’t understand the difference between vegan & vegetarian. When we asked for vegan options he recommended the vegetarian options.
No marked vegan items.
Food was sad, watery lentil soup & the veg mousaka was mostly oily sauce with oily rice.
Overall - 0/5

Cons: No vegan awareness , Dissapointing Food , Bait & Switch Pricing

Amazing vegetarian food

We first ate at Damascus Gate two years ago, and we ate here three days in a row- it’s that good. The fatoush salad is heavenly- with fresh mint and oh so many flavors. The hummus is incredibly creamy, served with pomegranate seeds. We delighted in the spinach samosas. And the baba ganoush- oh the baba is soooo good. When we returned to Dublin we were delighted to find it exactly the same- especially the proprietor. He is so kind, welcoming, and joyful. As he says, sharing is caring- and everything at Damascus is prepared and served with care.

Pros: Fatoush salad , Spinach samosas , Delightful proprietor

Good vegan options. Although marked vegan on the menu, most of the vegan options have yogurt so just ask for it without

Authentic Middle Eastern vegan dining

Like stepping into the Middle East. Ghandi and the staff were so friendly and helpful. He advised us on vegan options for starters and mains. We were spoilt for choice. The food was delicious, one of those really tasty meals that has your mouth zinging for a while afterwards.

Pros: Lots of vegan starter and main options , Advice on veganising vegetarian dishes, Authentic flavours, herbs and spices.

Cons: No vegan desert options. , Was quiet for us but meat eaters could be close

My boyfriend and me were looking for somewhere to have a dinner, and because i'm vegan from not long was very hard to find a place with options for me. But then we find this place, the staff was very nice and gentle, the food was amazing too!;

Excellent!

Really delicious, hearty food and generous portions. Very friendly and attentive service, staff and owners are great advising on vegan options - there are many dishes that are either fully vegan or easily veganised, very flexible. Cosy interior and you can bring your own wine.

Pros: Staff and owners make your meal really special, Good selection for vegans

Traditional Syrian and Lebanese cuisine

The food here is really tasty and the staff are friendly. The veggie options are clearly marked on the menu and most are vegan or can be made vegan. Portion size is good and you leave feeling full. Sometimes on busy nights the service can be a little slow but overall it's good. You can also bring your own wine which is a bonus

Pros: Many options, tasty

Cons: Service slow on busy nights
