| - Finally had the chance to eat at Damas Restaurant and it did not disappoint! We ordered the Tasting Menu to try a variety of different dishes.
1) Beef tartare (Kibbé nayyé) 7.5/10-Good start, fresh ingredients, nice balance in texture with the crunchy nuts and soft, tender beef tartare
2)Fattouch 8.5/10- Very refreshing salad with a variety of fresh vegetables, herbs, spices. Really enjoyed the crunchy texture on each bite and the acidity from the dressing.
3) Sea bass? 9/10-This was delicious! The skin was really crispy, and the fish meat was very soft and moist. The sauce was not overpowering and complimented the fish perfectly
4) Grilled octopus 8.5/10- perfectly grilled octopus on top of tomato, caper and chickpeas sauce. Very nice balance in flavors!
5) Eggplant, Beet Mutabbal, humus lahmé 8/10- The eggplant mutabbal had a great smokey flavor, the beet one was very creamy and even had a nice sweetness to it. The lamb was tender and juicy. All three dishes were amazing when dipped with pita!
6) Fattet Mozat 10/10- This was my favorite! The lamb was so tender and juicy and it came off the bone so easily. This mixed with rice, nuts and yogurt sauce created the perfect combination of rich flavor and creamy texture
7) Rack of lamb 7/10- Nice tender lamb with delicious creamy sauce.
8) Dessert 7.5/10: By this point, we were stuffed and forgot what the exact name of the desserts were! The desserts were very sweet and fulfilling. I especially liked the ice cream one with the crunchy pastry on the bottom. The other one was almost like a cream cheese filled mochi!
Overall Damas was a great experience and I highly recommend it!
