| - As a New Years resolution, I have decided to broaden my taste buds and try new stuff. What better day to start my resolution than on my birthday. I just came back from Damas, and all I can say is that I am so happy I tried this place. First of all it is beautifully and taste fully decorated, it transports you in another country. The ambiance is very charming, the staff is extremely professional and courteous. The know the menu inside out and can give you great suggestions.
Now let's talk about the main subject, the food, as appetizers we had the Damas Fattoush, the pureed eggplant and the octopus warm salad. The fattoush was so different than your typical fattoush, the put a twist on it and they brought It to a whole other level. I have tried octopus before but don't like the fishy taste and smell to it. This dish was nothing I had tasted before, the seasoning was perfect, the dressing was so delicate and tasty, a must try.
As a main dish I had the shish taouk, chicken so juicy it was accompanied but sumac fries. WOW! It had a sour garlic taste to it, it was fantastic. I had also ordered a side of yogurt salad which tasted like tsaziki but better.
Last but not least for dessert I had menthe tea and a fried cheese that had a bit of rose water. To
Be honest i didn't know what to make of the desert, I am still thinking about it. You know when you eat something and you don't really know if you like it or not so you keep eating. That's what happened to me.
This place is not just a place to go eat, it an experience. Prices are high but you get the quality to go with it.
