Best Mediterranean restaurant in Canada

c	cherry varghese on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had shish tawouk platter and kafta kabab platter, one thing I noticed was the meat in both platters where really moist and well cooked. I liked the dip very much, it felt so fresh. Overall a nice experience!!
K	Kris Love on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Everything on the menu is so good that on the drive home I regretted not ordering more. The shawarma with the pomegranate sauce was to die for and the mixed plate was delicious! I didn’t even mention the chicken skewer or the baklava. And the service was some of the best we’ve ever had. No contest this is the best Mediterranean food in the city… maybe even Canada!
L	Lidia Dream on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We recently discovered this gem and tried it twice so far. It's always busy with orders which is reassuring that food is fresh. To be honest I am currently eating leftovers from yesterday and couldn't but comment how tasty it still is. Even their salad has flavor which most places lack. I highly recommend you try it. It is one of the best if not the top shawarma place I've tried in Calgary so far. Thanks for your hard work
R	Robert Zheng on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a solid small business, looks like run by cousins/brothers. Food is par for pricing though not super outstanding. The mixed plate feeds 1 comfortably, though you might want to get the large wrap Instead. The rice is flavourful, pickles are fresh though I wish they gave just a little more salad. Garlic is very good, make sure you always ask for extra! I don't like that they grill the meat after shaving as it makes it more dry even if they add water onto the grill (to make sure it's cooked). It also looses its flavours and natural juiciness. The servers were very friendly and generous with their service.
C	CY Siu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ First thing to note - the service here is awesome. Friendly staff, funny and yet straight to the point to help you with your order. I would highly recommend the platters opposed to a wrap if you're hungry. The wraps come in two sizes (regular and large) and starts at $10 meanwhile the platter start at $13. The regular size wrap felt more of a small appetite type of meal and a tad short of balanced content. Everything (both wrap and also platters) get particularly portioned out in terms of toppings (salad, picked vegetables, sauce). I feel that's where it fell a little short compared to some other places that just plop on a bunch of this and that. BUT where quantity didn't fully suffice, the protein quality here is very good - not dry chicken (based on the few times I've gone) and it's moist + non fatty. They have the option of grilling the onions and tomatoes which I think is a great option. The space overall, the team there ensure its well kept and organized ! The baklava also - would recommend, a perfect balance of sweetness and flaky without being entirely drenched/soggy.
j	jannaty khan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went to Calgary last week for vacation with my friends. I was looking for had a great time and experiencing different food but it turned out as a nightmare when I got to know every restaurant in town close around 10 or 11 pm. However the first night, when I was really tired finding a restaurant near my hotel for dine in , I found this Gem. Food was terrific and authentic as they were making it fresh and serve it right away. Especially The front staff Steph was super amazing host and superb friendly made our that night really special. He gave us fries ? as complimentary while I was asking to substitute with Salad as we were visiting the restaurant for the first time. Not only that He gave us complimentary Baklava(Dessert) while I went to ask his name and give him a cordial thank you! He said he will make more great dine in experience for next time. Trust me steph that was too good! That night will be memorable for so many other reasons but this restaurant’s experience will stand out among those.
H	Harikrishna Rao Mohan Rao on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Simply exquisite! Great food. I tried the falafel platter. The garlic sauce is just made from heaven. Very friendly folks… reasonable rate.
J	Jaden Neff on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As people say when you find a great place 'run don't walk'. So so happy I've found this place. Everything is freshly prepared, flavourful, friendly service and great ambiance . Everything you need to make an amazing restaurant. I truly hope this place will succeed and I have no doubts it will reach the top. If you live in Calgary or just visiting I highly recommend Damascus. I've been searching this city for a great Mediterranean place and I'm happy my search is over. I will be a forever happy customer. Thanks again!
