I kept hearing about this place everywhere, so we decided to try their breakfast mezze. At first, we were mistakenly served the mixed starters, but the staff quickly corrected it. The breakfast mezze turned out to be almost the same, just with an extra chakchouka or jazmuz added. Unfortunately, the jazmuz was very watery and tasteless the foul was a bit hard, and the crispy bread was not good at all. The only dishes I actually enjoyed were the aubergine and the falafel, which I have to give credit for. We also had fatayer the cheese one was good, but the other flavour was really disappointing. Overall, it wasn’t a good breakfast experience.nnThe coffee was nice we had a Spanish latte but we didn’t feel encouraged to order anything else since we already didn’t like what we had. The bill came around to £40, and to my surprise, they added a 10% service charge without mentioning it beforehand.nnOn the positive side, the service was friendly and professional. Yes, they made a mistake at the beginning, but they fixed it quickly and didn’t charge us extra for the crispy bread that came by mistake. Still, overall, I wouldn’t eat here again.nnOne more thing the chairs are very small, and the tables are crammed too close together, which is especially uncomfortable when you have children.
Delicious food, welcoming atmosphere and interior design. Was here for 3 hours during storm Goretti - was very cosy and comfortable.
It’s rare to find a place that combines such a lovely ambiance with such kind hospitality, but Damascena does it effortlessly. The atmosphere here is great from the music to the seating it’s amazing, we always come back here because the food is honestly top tier. It’s just so filling! The hygiene here is excellent , everything is spotless and feels super cared for.nStaff are honestly super welcoming always and you can see they enjoy what they do from how they interact between themselves. I had a lovely conversation and service from waitress Mayar who was very smiley and sweet, working super hard as well as Israa extremely kind when serving us and making sure we got everything we wanted.nThank you Damascena!
We are really disappointed with our waitor today. I believe his name is Rahi/Rahil. We had a lovely meal and then ordered two desserts. One was Baklava and the other was a Kunafa Chocolate cake. All the food was really nice as per usual I have been many times and never disappointed except for the Kunaffa Chocolate cake which was stale. I told the waitor and he said he can't do anything about it because I've bitten into it. 90% of the cake was still on the plate. I said to him how would I know if it was stale if I had not tasted it. He could see that the whole slice was there except for a couple of small bites.He walked off without resolving the issue. I then called him back and asked for a complaints form and he said all he can do is give feedback to the suppliers. I have visited this Damascena countless times and never complained about the food but his attitude was extremely disappointing. Please teach you staff some basic customer service.
The food is very palatable but everything tasted slightly on the saltier side If food could have a voice, I would describe it as being monotonously salty with a few squeeks of good flavour. Would not recommend if you don't like salty food. All I remember about the food was that it was good but salty !! However, this is just personal preference. Also, would not recommend coming for dinner as the menu as a whole seems better suited to brunch/ lunch vibes!! Have come home now after the meal and I think I could drink 2L of water to quench my thirst after all the salty food.nnAlso, for notice, it wasn't a particular food that was salty, it was just everything I ordered that had the same sort of saltiness kind of like the saltiness of bacon, but throughout the whole meal.nnThe price is reasonable, compared to similar restaurants on harborne high street, and the atmosphere is quite rustic and well laid out. Staff are very kind and hospitable.nnOverall, I had a good time, but I just wish the food was less salty.nnThis isn't a post of negatively. I do not intend it to be. This was just my personal experience.
