Damascus - Cookeville

We made a quick stop at Damascus for a bite to eat during our trip, and it was fantastic! The service was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The menu is limited, but everything we tried was delicious! Be sure to try the lamb kebabs; they're a must! The house salad served as a side dish is also quite flavorful. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and enjoyed our meal thoroughly. I noticed a few reviews mentioning a lack of restrooms, but I believe there might have been some confusion, as it isn't clearly marked. However, there is indeed a very clean restroom available.

This restaurant offers delicious and authentic food that's truly worth experiencing. I highly recommend paying a visit. I enjoyed the shawarma combo with three sides, and you definitely shouldn't miss out on the Barbican Pomegranate soda!

The shawarma was excellent. I’ve had my fair share of dolmeh (grape leaves), and while they would have been better served hot, I really enjoyed the spices. The fattoush salad was vibrant and flavorful, and the hummus was simply hummus. The customer service was impeccable, and the prices were just right!

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The Middle Eastern food is incredibly authentic and very reasonably priced. My falafel sandwich, salad, hummus, and potatoes only cost around $8. The gentleman who made my meal, whom I believe is the owner, even surprised me by bringing a complimentary hot tea to enjoy with it. I will definitely return for another meal!

We had an excellent meal with delicious food and desserts. We enjoyed the lamb kebab, falafel, seasoned potatoes, hummus, and fattoush (I love this salad!). For dessert, we had Pasposa, and to drink, we chose Barbican in grape flavor.
