| - Damas Grill House & Juice Bar is a rare find and am I ever so glad that my sister accidentally stumbled onto this place.
Having lived abroad in Asia for quite a while, there are certain foods that you come to miss and Middle Eastern is definitely one of them! Sometimes, you even dream about it, and when the opportunity comes for you to actually be able to eat it, you are let down because you've built it up so much in your mind. Not the case here.
Last year, I was craving Chicken Shawarma and my sister brought me here. The chicken was tender and moist, we replaced the rice with fries which were crispy. The salad, garlic sauce and hummus complete the meal. The portions are very generous. We had leftovers, which we then packed and had for lunch the next day.
The first thing I said when I moved back to Toronto recently was, let's eat at Damas! This time we also ordered watermelon juice which was really fresh and didn't cost an arm and a leg. The menu is also quite extensive. My cousin and her husband who don't eat meat, but are ok with fish ordered the Tilapia wrap and Tilapia meal. They enjoyed the fish and said it was great, but being a "safe" eater, I like to stick with what I like and that's the Chicken Shawarma. Maybe one day when I get bored with that, I'll try something else on their menu, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
With wooden tables and chairs, the decor of the restaurant is quite casual. It's a fast food style restaurant where you order at the cashier and wait for your food. So, if you're looking for a fancy place to dine at, this is not it, but if it's great Middle Eastern food that you're looking for, then look no further, you've found it!
