Food is pretty good and the staff are very friendly. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area.

My very local go-to! I love the staff. Very friendly. Great eats for some vegetarians and meat lovers; I highly recommend their shrimp sandwich and chicken shawarma. Super relaxing environment.

As a group, we tried the Chicken Shawarma Sandwich(2 for 8.99), Falafel and Salad. It was pretty decent overall — not the BEST I’ve ever had — but it was good. The fries are super crispy. You can choose your fillings, and how much of it you want. The radishes didn’t look exceptionally fresh, but that’s my favourite part of the shawarma. Service was fast enough. There was issue over the garlic sauce for dipping the fries– i mean if i’m eating fries at a middle eastern place would I choose ketchup — heck no — Garlic sauce all the way. they charge extra for a measly ketchup cup portion Big spacious place with wooden details on furniture. It’s just a little awkward to get to, making a bunch of lefts, and a steep slope and all.

Three and a half. Food was excellent. I had the Tilapia Sandwich. Servers very helpful and polite. Nice ambience and decoration. Negative remark: As soon as you go down the stair to go to the washrooms there is a strong unpleasant stench to mold and humidity. Management should fix that. I would have given them five stars.

This is my go to place in Scarborough for middle eastern food. You can count on the food to be fresh, plentiful and reasonably priced — I love the shish tawook! I can see why this place is always so busy.

Damas is this Middle Eastern diner of sorts. The place is rather large and the décor is a bit odd as it looked like something of a tropical place. I would imagine the tropical theme is to remind everyone that they also do fruit juices as well to go along with the Middle Eastern food. I ordered the Shooaf Beef Kabab Pita. I’ve never really heard of Shooaf, and not even Google knows, so I’m guessing they came up with the word? Either way, it’s grilled beef that is skewered and was actually nice and tender. The chunks were a bit small and the pita didn’t hold the fillings in so well, but all the fillings like the hummus, hot sauce, garlic sauce, and such were all so damn tasty. The service was super friendly. The guy making my sandwich was chatting the whole time he was putting everything together so that was a nice touch. They have family platters as well if you want to bring a crowd.

Three years ago this was a place I would always go for when craving chicken shawarma or barbeques, family loved it and the enviorment for dine in was great. Now I cant stand this place. I was always wondering what had happened to this place. Apperently I heard that the original owner sold it. And the new owners destroyed it with raising the prices and lowering the food quality and standards. And this noticable, the owners are cheap and have no sense of customer service. And I noticed that am not the only peron who feels this way about this place.

I live about 2 minutes away from the place. Been driving pass it for the past 6 years. Tried it out for the first time today. The food was good, the portion was great. Service was a bit slow but decent. The décor in the restaurant is a bit odd. It almost feels like a bar, the seats are all wood so not very comfortable. They have glass table covers, so I was nervous because I am afraid that I might accidentally break it. I tried their coffee today as well. It taste very good.(Black, not very bitter, very good)

Love the portion sizes and the taste. It tastes much more authentic than most. Absolutely love the food. Just wish they renovated the interior a little.

Love this place. I always love getting their salads especially the chicken tabouleh salad. If you need a shawarma fix, this is the place to be. Also the people there are really nice.

They used to very good back 2 – 3 years ago. The new owners have switched the suppliers and the quality of the food as dropped drastically since then. Tried both beef and chicken dishes recently. Stale, old, rubbery and dry are the best words to describe it. The worst part is they close early and they always run out of shawarma in the evenings.

There is a line up for a reason. I’ve been going here since they opened and the food/service is pretty consistent. Try the Lentil Soup.

Lebanese food. Cool log furniture. Ample parking and easily accessible from either Victoria Park or Lawrence making this my favourite Middle Eastern restaurant. The staff are competent and take pride in both their restaurant and their barbequed offerings along with the refreshing selection of fresh juices. Even though the funky log cabin look and wood everything seems out of place for a restaurant from a land where trees are not in abundance, the wood adds character and feel. There is even a sink right out in the open near the lineup for orders, possibly to expedite your lunch experience by saving a trip to the washroom. The grill is the thing here and everything looks and tastes similar yet is all mouth-wateringly delicious. There is a glass display case showcasing the skewers of marinated goodness before they hit the grill. The view from this classic Scarboro location hasn’t changed much in decades and I’m glad for that as the vista is an open and pleasant experience looking west over the glorious Don Valley and calms the soul as well as the Damas food and splendid fresh juices do. Highly recommended on your next trip to Scarboro!

Already plenty of reviews here Since i’ve eaten here quite often and basically tried everything on the menu it is time i give it a rating So i figure i’d keep it simple The food choices are plenty The food is good The staff is caring and friendly the plates are carefully arranged the price is right Compared to the old fast food layout of the place the investment in the carved wood look is a step above. Nice place to have just as nice a dinner as a quick lunch
