I’ve ate here a couple of times and order an absolute ton! I really couldn’t be happier with everything from the staff to the food. The chef, Fadi, is an absolute wonderful person, humble and down to Earth and definitely knows his way around a kitchen! If you’re looking for a nice, home style meal, I highly recommend Mr. Damascene.

The flavours here are phenomenal. If you love tasty home cooked meals this place is a gem. Even the side salad is simple but flavoursome. The owners are super friendly and it is a family owned business. This place is underrated and more people should know about it. I’ll definitely be back!

We stumbled across this gem as my partner needed to use the bathroom and he let us no worries. We then ordered a kebab which was so delicious! The service was amazing and kebab was well priced! Definitely recommend and would go back!
