Tempatnya bagus, dekorasinya ala2 timur tengah. Tapi ngga tau kenapa sepi padahal makanannya enak loh. Nasi mandi kambingnya berasa rempahnya dan dagingnya empuk. Isian samosanya juga ngga pelit, full daging.

Terletak di hotel Gren Alia Jakarta, Damascus menghadirkan masakan khas Timur Tengah. Tentu saja harga yang ditawarkan lebih mahal dibandingkan masakan Indonesia. Bagian saung nya (apa ya istilahnya kalau di restoran Timur Tengah?) cukup nyaman. Daging kambing nya lembut dan tidak berbau, samosa nya juga enak. Untuk ayam gorengnya oke. Pilihan nasinya enak enak, ada biryani, mandi, dan kabsah.

Restoran Hidden Gems, tidak banyak yang mengetahuinya. Selama saya makan makanan timur tengah, menurut saya ini masih yang terbaik. Lamb Package Mandhi dan Saudi Champagne sangat mantab sekali rasanya. Terbaik Da Best

If you're craving for middle eastern food with a cozy ambience, this is the place you must go! Damascus resto is located inside hotel gran alia. Anyway The food is great! We tried lamb briyani and kasbah fish, the lamb was sooo soft.. no need to struggle to bite it, and the rice + sambal, well done sir, you made my tongue fantasized. I really like the garden view, made me forget about craziness of jakarta for a while. 4 star rated!
