Syriana Cafe - Old Ellicott City

Excellent food, attentive service.....just a wonderful afternoon experience.

The food was wonderful! The service was good. ..However, the mouse droppings were a little disappointing. On all around the table. If we would have seen them before, we would have left. If they can get that under control. Maybe we will come back.

Okay so... I didn't actually eat here, I came in here with my friend and she got crepes because she was hungry. She said they were 8/10! The restaurant looks really cool and I'd love to try their food sometime :o

First time visiting Syriana and our party of four had a very enjoyable dinner experience today! We like its home and cozy, and its unique ambience. We ordered Mezza sampler as our appetizer, Lamb ribs, Ultimate Grill platter, and Shawana platter for our entrees. Everything was delicious, in good portion size, and reasonably priced. Their lamb chops were on the point, very juicy, tender, and well seasoned!! The server was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely coming back. Highly recommended!!

I was discriminated against today when trying to be seated and dine at this restaurant. I love this restaurant and I have introduced many friends and family to it as well. As a family, we love food from all cultures and one of our favorites is Middle Eastern cuisine. My son loves Syriana, but after today’s experience, we will not be returning. I had made a reservation on OpenTable for outside balcony seating. When we arrived, I was informed that the balcony area was reserved for reservations. I had specifically reserved a table for the second floor balcony, which is where they continually refused access for us. I saw multiple people, from their culture be led onto the balcony. I inquired and was told that I wasn’t allowed to have an outside table as I had reserved because I made the reservation at 6:09 when the reservation was for 6:15 and therefore no tables were available. The staff continued to treat us rudely when we asked to move outside. I don’t like saying this but our party was discriminated against due to our culture. I’m disgusted by the behavior of the staff and will not be back! Did I mention I speak Arabic and heard everything you said about us!!!
