Damascus BBQ - 55100 Kuala Lumpur

Handsome male staff, nice food. Food appearance is almost same as menu, and it is delicious. Just that Asian like me not really used to their yogurt and creamy cheesy ingredient. Overall is good restaurant, worth to go and worth to try ?

the restaurant: air conditioning great, comfortable seats, quick service, great decoration, not a loud place, efficient and clean the food: we ordered kabsa chicken and it was very well cooked, rice and sauces were really tasty, great shawarma also. hidden gem in this place is the avocado honey drink

Had the mixed meat sharwarma set that came with fries and dip. However wouldn’t say it’s worth for the price. A single sharwarma was RM9 but the set was RM19 with small portion of fries. Service was slow. If you do want to give it a try, have the a la carte sharwarma. The taste was fine with me, but those who doesn’t like cilantro, they have lots of it in there. Had some pieces of fries in it too.

Really awesome place. All the food items that we had was mouth watering. The place is well managed and clean. Dear Damascus BBQ keep up your quality and cleanliness ?

Portion is not as big as expected shown in menu. Lamb briyani is pretty nice. Price abit pricey imo. Great first time experience, but might not go for second time though.

This place slaps! I can see why it's so popular. Pretty great Syrian/Middle Eastern food in the heart of town. Also think they got a lot more attention lately because of social media food accounts. They have these two massive shawarma spits in front and rjght outside their restaurant, which is pretty eye-catching since it's front and center and right next to a busy road too. We dined-in during this visit and also had ordered two shawarmas to-go at the end of our meal. I think there's a difference between ordering takeout shawarma from them vs. actually dining in at their restaurant. Seems like they have different menus? The dine-in menu is more proper with a wide variety of meals, whereas if you order to go (AKA "tapau") there's a more fast-food like menu to order from. For the dine-in experience, I was there during lunchtime on a weekday and service was a little odd and mostly...awkward? They have a ton of guys/staff outside at the shawarma counter but it was as if we were invisible when we walked in to take a seat. We sat ourselves at the table that was right next to the entrance and even after sitting down no one came to give us menus or anything so we thought we were supposed to order outside but when we did that, the guys pointed to the button our table and said "you should have pressed the button". Like yo, no one told us that when we walked in, how are we s'posed to know lah? Anyways, we pressed the button and finally got menus, but had to press the button again to place our order. Very odd and awkward but...okay. Since it was lunchtime their service was very focused on the delivery orders that were nonstop at the front of their shop. Throughout our time there though service was nothing to scream about and food was a little slow to get served. Not good if you're in a hurry. Food wise: Two of us ordered the Hummus & the Mix Shawarma Rice to split & a mango juice each and it was plenty for a lunch portion for two. Hummus was very decadent, creamy and smooth and has a generous flavor of the olive oil - a different style of hummus I think but I personally love all hummus so it was good enough for me. The flatbread (not pita) that came with it was slightly disappointing though. I did wish it could've been served warm but it felt slightly stale. The mix shawarma rice had a lot of crispy hot, tasty, and thinly-shaved shawarma slices on top of a ton of rice that came with toum - a.k.a. the white garlic sauce (I know it's called toum in Lebanese cuisine but not sure if Syrians call it the same thing - I don't speak Arabic to know enough either so please don't cancel me for this if I'm mistaken). I did wish they gave more side vegetables like the picture in their menu though because we were only given one sad slice each of a cucumber, a pickle, and a carrot... Finally, the mango juice was fresh and it's actually made with real blended mango! Not some mango flavored concentrate with fake mango drink. And since their shawarma was constantly getting a ton of attention, we decided to order 2 shawarmas to-go. They definitely were tasty and I would recommend eating them hot and fresh. One annoyingly inconvenient part was they do not accept eWallet payments. Only cash & debit/credit card accepted (for dine-in payments at least. Can't speak for delivery/takeaway orders). That kinda sucked and it was very ironic that they were constantly getting a ton of Grab Food orders yet they don't accept eWallet. Final verdict: Good tasty stuff. Would return to eat again. Can get a little pricey, it was RM94 total for 2 of us for the food we ordered. I won't recommend dining-in at this place for weekday lunches if you are in a rush or short on time. Would not deliberately travel just to eat here but if I'm already in the area, I would definitely return to try their vast range of menu items. They seem like a great place to eat for a heavier meal for dinner!

Try out their Shawarma, probably the best I had in the country. Went there around 1am on a Friday night (they closed at 2.30am), and it was still crowded with people ordering. Roadside parking, as long as you don't obstruct traffic flow (still plenty of cars at that time). Decided to dine in instead and ordered Arabic Plate which (large chicken shawarma) with extra cheese and extra spicy, fantastic! As for the drinks, I ordered their avocado with honey, also recommended. Service was on par even though they were super busy. Had a good supper, would definitely come here again!

Food was very tasty, served quick, friendly staff. Their lamb and beef are way better than their chicken. However the system to manage customers waiting to enter to dine in or order take away is a bit chaotic, and everyone in line is constantly worried their turn/order was overlooked.
