So I saw the reviews for this place as I am a blogger foodie I went with my friend to review. I ordered the Turkish coffee which was great. Also mains DAMASCENA LAMB SHAWARMA ARABIYA 12.95 Shawarma seasoned lamb, crunchy salad, homemade garlic sauce, and pickles. All folded up in a flatbread and served with a side of batata harra potatoes Food took about 30/40mins to arrive, was disappointed with staff, as they were talking constantly, nothing clean, not cutlery or napkins, floors were dirty, that's why the loose points for the service. I had to find napkins off other tables etc. I was gracious to leave a TIP. Thank you
Very nice decor. Nice selection of foods on menu and drinks menu. Love the layout of the place. And the cafe was clean. Seats comfortable. We went here on a busy lunch time on a Tuesday afternoon. It’s a popular location and people inside seemed to be enjoying themselves. Adults and children. Prices are reasonable. Nice to try something different. The orders and payment were taken at the table. Our food was ordered, served and eaten in under 30 minutes for a table of 4. I know because I had to rush back to where I needed to go. I’d probably sit near to the window in future the front of the order desk was quite busy.
Damascena in the Jewellery Quarter has plenty of seating inside as well as some tables outside. The interior is their signature style, very nice. The food is absolutely delicious, there is plenty of choice on the menu. Plenty of drinks choice as well. Their freshly squeezed orange juice with rose water is so tasty and refreshing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food arrived very quickly even though it was quite busy. Overall very nice experience and recommend for a quick lunch.
Came a few years ago and loved it, came back and the service was good awful. ‘20 min wait’ was actually 62 minute wait for food. When we asked, we kept getting ignored or told ‘it will be right out’. The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy at all, and the food was very simple. Tasty but not worth the wait. Hoping it was a one off because my last experience was much nicer

Very polite, positive and smiley staff, clean restaurant and bathroom. Food was very tasty with beautiful presentation. One of the best falafel I've eaten, kibbeh makliya taste was too strong for me but everything else was amazing. Dip sauce also very tasty especially the avocado hummus. Pistachio Cheesecake was fresh and went well with coffee. Definitely coming back
As many others have attested too, Damascena Coffee House is really a beautiful establishment. The coffee here is authentic and exceptional. The selection of food is vast and good, however, we felt it was a lot pricier than what it was worth. We were also disappointed with the baklava. Regardless, definitely worth visiting, and we appreciated the great service.
I ordered the mixed meze to share Avocado hummus, fuul medames, fatuush, falafels and flatbread. Each of the dishes were well balanced and very tasty. The staff were attentive and the fresh juice options were incredibly refreshing on such a hot day, Thank you!
Very friendly staff and a chilled place to grab a bite to eat. Food was top quality and price is fair. I particularly like the fact that every Damascena we’ve been to so far has a slightly different menu so always something new to discover.

Food was really delicious and decent size portions for the price. Also staff were very friendly. The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is that food took quite a long time to arrive, fortunately we weren’t in a hurry
Great cafe. I love the choice of Middle Eastern food on the menu and it's so tasty. The coffee is delicious too.
