Delicious food, great service, we're definitely going back. This place used to be an Italian coffee shop but has since closed. Honestly it's fine. It's small but deserves more business, they were friendly and helpful. Our meals were delicious. I even order some for later since I was headed to work. Next time I'm going to try the baklava, was too full last time. If you like Mediterranean food, can't recommend enough. It's a small, cozy spot. It's across from acme so it's in a small plaza. I thought I took pics, sorry about that. read more

Great service very nice lady, very helpful with the menu if you are new to Mediterranean food. The food was very good and different flavors if you're looking to try something new I think this place is a good spot. I wish they did a little more for the ambiance, like something to brighten the place up just a little but overall a good experience read more

Ordered felafel and chicken shawarma sandwiches, both with pickled vegetables and tahini sauce - the felafel was particularly outstanding, but both were great. Extremely reasonable, and very pleasant server. Very chill vibe there, great to have a place like this in Canton. read more

I'm not sure who runs this restaurant, but this is the fourth time I've come here since 2021, and not once have they been open. Very strange. In any case, I will not be coming back here to see whether or not they actually run a restaurant. After four times of trying over a period of 3 years, I can only assume they do not. It's shame because the food looked good in the pictures, and the menu prices seemed reasonable. Perhaps their management and/or staff is unreliable. I will take my business elsewhere. read more

The food is incredible! The service is very quick and friendly. The staff is quite talkative. It has a vibe like a fun little cafe or diner. I would definitely go here again! read more

Similar experience. Stopped by twice during what are supposed to be normal hours. Open sign on and door locked. Would like to try but unreliable read more

Came at 6:30 pm on Saturday, "Open" sign was on and one table was seated. Door was locked. Lady inside waved us away. No posted hours. The next group that tried to get inside, the lady cracked open the door and said she was out of everything and could only make sandwiches. read more

Delicious. Friendly staff and great service in a small space. The food was so fresh we loved it.

What a wonderful restaurant! The food was so flavorful. The cucumber sauce, hot sauce, and cauliflower were especially delightful. The staff were kind and attentive. Furthermore, the prices were very reasonable. I would absolutely come back the next time we are in Canton! read more

Small, quaint Mediterranean eatery with a limited menu. What is on that menu is incredibly tasty. The shawarma chicken wrap is one of the best I've ever had. Service was quick and proficient. I will definitely be back and look forward to trying more from their menu. read more

Delicious food. However, it is way way way way way overpriced. Everything tastes home made and good. read more

Wow! Wonderful, authentic Mediterranean food! Tucked away in this little strip mall - who knew you would find such culinary expertise! My husband had the Chicken Kabob platter and I enjoyed the Fafala platter, both were excellent, served with creamy hummus, salad, and pita bread. Rice is also included on most entrees. Downsides - which really are not a big deal for me - but may be for some - the decor inside is a little bland, small and "cold" feeling. Limited drinks- only canned soda and water, and no alcohol. The desserts looked yummy but we were so full we had no room!! There is outside seating with a small patio and they offer carry out. read more

Very flavorful and authentic food. I could have eaten just the rice as a main course it was so full of flavor. The falafel were nice and fluffy on the inside with a little crunchy crust outside. There are a number of options for the carnivores and vegetarians. Definitely a must try! read more

This family run restaurant is an intriguing escape into a world of culinary artistry, with fresh, homemade dishes that will delight your tastebuds and elevate your senses. The menu features a variety of Syrian dishes, such as lentil soup, shawarma, hummus, falafel, and others. Additionally, the owners are wonderful people who are quite welcoming and very friendly. After viewing the many good options on the menu, I opted for a bowl of lentil soup and a chicken shawarma. The soup came with two slices of lemon, giving it a nice zest, while the shawarma was a delicious burst of flavor on a warm pita roll. Overall, the food here is authentic and amazing, and the service is top notch. So, if you've never had Syrian cuisine, this place is a must try! read more

Despite only being open a month or so, word has been spreading about the excellent food at Damascus Mediterranean Cuisine. I decided to stop in for lunch and put in a takeout order. They also have about a dozen tables and counter seating available. I chose the chicken shawarma wrap, which comes with pickles and garlic sauce, as well as a side of tahini sauce. Additionally, you can add lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. After placing my order, my wrap was ready within 5-6 minutes. Even after my short drive back to work to eat it, the wrap was still hot and fresh. It was also HUGE and delicious!! The chicken was plentiful and evenly seasoned. The garlic sauce added good flavor, without leaving an unpleasant aftertaste. The pickle slices were also outstanding (assuming you like pickles, of course). The menu has a wide variety of items, including dessert, all of which are very reasonably priced. The chicken shawarma wrap was only $7, and it definitely filled me up. It's always nice to support local businesses and restaurants, and the excellent food at Damascus has definitely earned my repeat business! read more

We got our food to go and ate outside . It was a nice sunny day little chilly but warm enough . The tables weren't set up yet with umbrellas but we had our fur baby with us and he just had to be part of the group . We ordered the mixed combo they were out of lamb kabab so we got an extra Kefta in it's place . I hope next time they have the lamb because that is what I really had a taste for The friendly lady working there offered to bring out our food even though it wasn't quite the season and the time for outside seating which was nice . All of the food looked ,smelled and tasted great ! We shared this combo amongst 3 people and only added baba and 2 extra pita. Everything was very flavorful well seasoned and not at all salty like we have had at some other Mediterranean places . We will definitely would go back and make the hour long drive each way if everything is just as we had today . Fingers crossed our next visit the food is consistently delicious and they have lamb available . Thank you Demascus Mediterranean Cuisine for a tasty and filling pre -anniversary lunch ! read more

I had never had Mediterranean food before, and I wanted to try Damascus because they had such good reviews, but also all of the pictures of food everyone shared look amazing. So I just recently went there and the food was awesome! The waitress patiently answered all of my questions, and the serve she provided was great. She checked on me often, asking me how the food was. Like I said, I have never had Mediterranean food before, so I have nothing to compare it to. I highly recommend coming to Damascus Mediterranean food. read more

Damascus Mediterranean Cuisine - I chose the Mixed platter just for myself. I got 3 meals out of it. Such good food! - Mediterranean Near Me - Canton, Ohio

Don't let the medicore decor dissuade you from staying. The homemade hummus and soup more than makes up for that. I've stopped here for a quick lunch while running errands at least 4 times. Always friendly, clean and fast service. Whether it's to go or I stay and eat the hummus platter is definitely delicious as is the homemade soup! Give this local place a try! read more

First of all very sweet people and such a cute little shop. A close friend and I drove over, half hour or so to try the baclava and was not disappointed. Nice and sweet! We also grabbed coffee and lemon cake to go which was absolutely phenomenal. I'm a big coffee fan and The Arabic coffee was absolutely amazing, lightly sweetened as asked and the cake was nice, sweet, and soft. Excited to come back for a meal. read more

DO NOT be fooled by the simplicity of the inside, Damascus is a hidden GEM. Most definitely, some of the BEST Mediterranean food I have ever had - very generous servings and "lick your plate clean" delicious!! We ordered the lentil soup, grape leaves, beef kabobs, chicken kabobs, hummus, and baba ghanoush. I want to order everything off this menu. Next up - Chicken Shawarma!!!!! read more

Tiny little restaurant in older strip center. The food was fantastic...everything I ate was fresh and packed with flavor. This is a family restaurant with mom in the kitchen doing what brings her joy. A must try... read more

First time ordering from Damascus and it did not disappoint. Had the Chicken Shawarma sandwich and Hummus appetizer - both incredibly delicious. I devoured the Chicken Shawarma too quickly to get a photo, but it was the perfect balance of chicken, garlic sauce and pickles. I was able to get a photo of the hummus which was equally tasty and hit the spot. My order was takeout and the food was ready quickly and the staff was friendly. I will definitely be back - thank you for a great experience! read more

We were in Canton for a wedding, having just driven from Cleveland with a stop at Cuyahoga National Park. It was about 3 in the afternoon and we were hungry. The last thing I wanted to do was sit inside some chain restaurant. Based on stellar Yelp reviews, we decided to try Damascus. It was a great choice. My wife's felafel's were among the best she's ever had, and my chicken schwarma plate was right up there with the best. This is a mom-and-pop place, and Mom took our order, set up an umbrella for us in the outdoor dining area, and brought us our food. Really nice people offering really good food. read more

This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in all of Ohio! They give wonderfully sized and flavored portions. The staff here is amazingly calming and kind. We always get the large platter with all the goods. Beautifully kept establishment well worth the visit! Get it to go if you're not feeling cooking tonight! Worth every penny! read more

Having spent some time in the Middle East and Med are compliments of Uncle Sam and the Army, I am soooo glad to see this place. Stopped in tonight for a Chicken Schwarma. Outstanding! Great looking menu, will definitely be back to sample more and more of their offerings. Note: if you're going for lunch, the Schwarma is about two pounds in size. Plenty for two people to split. read more

This family owned gem is not to be missed! Our family ordered a full lunch spread: grape leaves, cauliflower, lentil soup, kofta kabob, and mixed platter - the plate came with fantastic portions and was filled with flavor. The rice was SO GOOD! Oh and by the way, the prices are very reasonable. I was visiting from NYC area and while we are spoiled with a lot of culinary options - I can say that I wish we had Damascus where we live! Easily some of the best Mediterranean food I've had in the US! read more

One more visit of many and I just have to complement the baker on the pistachio cake. It was absolutely delightful. Thank you!

The menu is small, but there were a lot of great options to choose from. I had never tried the chicken shawarma before and opted to give it a go! The chicken and rice was perfectly flavored and was nicely complimented with a small salad. I also added the pita/hummus on for only $1 more. Delicious! There is not a kid menu option, but we got the chicken tenders and fries for $8 and there was more than enough to comfortably feed two young ones. The decor is sparse, but the quality of food more than made up for a lack of wall art. Don' read more

Excellent! I visited for the first time and ordered the lamb chop platter with babaganoush and also tried the rice pudding and the pistachio cake with a house made syrup. The lamb chops were super tender and seasoned well. The rice was outstanding. The hummus and babaganoush were both tasty and fresh. It also came with pita bread. The desserts were also very good. On top of that the service was very friendly. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

These people have a 5 star google rating for a reason. Their food is consistently amazing every time, which is important when it comes to not only food in general but Mediterranean food, which can be inconsistent. I eat here about 2-3 times a week and they are on the higher end when it comes to prices for meals but it's worth it, trust me. read more

Stopped here while traveling - it's in a small strip of businesses so it's easy to miss. Excellent Mediterranean. We tried the Chicken Kabob Platter and the Kefta Platter. Both came with a small salad, hummus and your choice of rice or fries. The meat was high quality and presentation was beautiful. Excellent Service. Wonderful! read more

The food was great, the service was good. there was a little wait, but worth it. the hummus was really smooth and had oil and seasonings on top that made it really tasty. read more

This food was A-mazing! We didn't get to eat in, bc their heat went out that day, but hands down the food was awesome!!

Every thing is homemade and of superior quality and flavor. Even all their sauces (tahini, tzatziki and garlic) are heads above the rest. The lamb chops were perfectly seasoned and cooked with a delicious rice to catch the juices. Great baba ghanooj and fool demas. Even the side salad had excellent tomatoes and I love the red cabbage in it. Great job!!! read more
