It was fairly quiet, the service was prompt and responsive, although our server missed our order for the hummus and bread platter, so missed out on that. The decor and ambiance matched the Syrian cuisine. The overall prices were about $$ to $$$, depending on the entree. Here's what we ordered: Hibiscus Sipper (8/10) - a refreshing cocktail on gin and hibiscus. It was a bit on the tart side but a good drink that I enjoyed. Shish Borek (9/10) - lamb dumplings in a sheep milk yogurt. Expertly made and so delicious. One of the many highlights of our meal. Rack of Lamb (10/10) - an amazing rack of lamb, cooked with flavorful spices with a nice crispy light char that made for a fantastic first bite! The entree came with an assortment of vegetables Batata Harra (10/10) - spicy potatoes with a bit of lemon and coriander. It came out hot and fresh and was just the right amount of crispy on the outside and light and fluffy potato inside. Kunafa (8/10) - a dessert made of sheep milk cheese and pistachios. It was served warm, very rich and sweet. Overall, we were happy we visited and had an amazing meal at Damas!

This restaurant was on our list during our trip to Montreal…read more The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The warm colors give it a modern vibe, yet very traditional. We started out with the Dumplings facon shish barak - 10/10. This starter was outstanding. Our main dish was the rack of lamb - 10/10. This dish was phenomenal. The flavor of the lamb paired with the eggplant and tahini sauce was amazing. For dessert we had the Kunafa - 8/10. Great dessert, but a bit too sweet for me. Our waiter was good, however he did forget to bring us another appetizer we ordered. By the time we realized our appetizer wasn't coming we told him about it, and he said there was a miscommunication on the order. So, at that point we just told him not to bring it. Overall, I would definitely try this place out. Their food is really great!

We came here for Sunday brunch…read more There's no reservations and the place is very small, they give you a number and you wait until they call you. We waited for about 30 mins and we were seated. The place is very small that the tables are all so close to each other, you can clearly hear other ppls conservation, it's very loud and there's also alot of families with kids If you are looking to go somewhere quit to eat brunch this is not the place to go. When you seat down they give you tea, the tea wasn't to my liking at all. They don't offer glasses of water so we got bottle of water? They also give you complimentary plate of olives, turnip, cucumber and tomatoes. We ordered the spicy cheese and zahtaar sage, that was very good, I think it was my favorite. It was very big and came on a board. We also got the professor lebneh, the tahini foul and the meat egg, they were okay nothing especially, the tahini foul was lemony, I felt like there was just too much lemon in there. Will I go back I don't know, this is not a place you would go every week, it's a once a few months vibes

We were a pretty large table of maybe 12? From what I recall there was grilled fish for the entree and for appetizers there was hummus and pita bread. There was also calamari and shrimp. Got a salad appetizer also. We did ask for some hot water since we had some older relatives and they gave us some hot lemon water and a tea pot which was really nice of them. Food was fine.

I would rate this restaurant in my top for middle eastern food with Damas. It's no secret this place is great so make sure to call and make reservations before hand. They have a more casual branch called le petit Alep next door but I believe it fills up just as quick. The waiters and sommelier are ready to help you and offered a preset menu for groups. However, we knew exactly what we wanted to we went ahead and ordered our favourites. We started with the hummus, muhammara, fattouch salad, tabbouleh, kibbeh (baked comes with yogurt sauce) and Aleppo sausages. I honestly would recommend all of them, they were all so delicious I have no favourite out of these! We then ordered the spicy 3 meat sampler which comes with kabab, chicken and filet mignon. I could eat a whole other plate of filet mignon. These come covered with garnished pita and bring it to a whole new level. Wrap the meat with these and you'll never want to eat anything else. Very grateful for this Syrian restaurant and the consistent quality over the years, 5 star for every visit.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my visit to your restaurant on lacadie today…read morewith my son. I spent over $65 on a meal consisting of one grilled chicken and one shawarmaand 2 drinks. When I requested a piece of bread, I was provided with a pita that was extremely dry and appeared to be from the previous day. It was very discouraging to receive such poor quality food after paying for a full meal. Regardless of whether an item is provided as a courtesy, you shouldent forger that we payed a big ammount of money just 5 min;s ago. every customer deserves to be treated with respect and served fresh food. Furthermore, I found the service I received to be unprofessional and dismissive. I hope you will take this feedback into consideration to improve the experience for your future guests, and dont give dry bread for people especially paying customer.
