Came here and got the falafel platter, very tasty. Will have to explore the rest of the menu.

Best middle eastern ever had, from starters till the deserts the best. We had a great experience, definitely will be back soon.

Great find, noticed as walking back to the Maldron hotel. Would definitely 👍🏼 recommend. Lentil soup 🍜 starter was Amazing. All the food both my wife and I had was delicious 😋.

Really really good food. The staff is always happy. We can tell by the food, how much experience does the chef have. I'm pretty sure that you gonna be amused by the food like me.

Very good hospitality and such a great service also very close to town and easy to reach. We had Shawerma (Grilled chicken) and ended it with a dessert of Kinefa. I would give them 5 stars. Recommended! ;)

I had ordered from them online twice before, but this was my first time dining in the restaurant. The food is good, and the service is quick. However, I noticed that the decoration and colors are a bit outdated and dusty.

When entering the place, it was so smelling I have put a fire distinguisher to door so fresh air will come in. However, staff was so rude and mean He started asking what are you doing with angry manner. After we sit one of our friend asked for opening a window. Then he started saying we do not open windows with harsh manner and etc. he sprayed whole place with room odor which made it worse. Menu is rich. I have tried the mixed shawarma,it was tasty. Knafe was different we did not like it much. Baklava was quite alright. Attitude is so important in serving business.

Amongst the best Middle Eastern food in Cork, and best wraps and kebab with the delicious lamb in all its varieties. Excellent customer service. Very personal, and the staff and owner go out of their way to ensure the best experience and maximum satisfaction. Cannot recommend enough. Sisha and coffee for after your meal too!

Limited but delicious vegan options here. The hummus is to kill for; delicious falafel's made of broad beans instead of chickpeas. Tabbouleh was juicy...will be back again for sure. Also, wort to mentthey accepts BYOW

What a great discovery! I was looking for good oriental food, not so easy to find round here, I was blessed beyond my expectations... Here the food is simply amazing, fresh, tasty, nicely presented and even the scenery with the rotunda as a mosk and Shandon tower as a minaret offers you a journey... And for cheap! Maybe the best restaurant in town.

Delicious vegetarian platter, falafel, spinach samosa and feta roll. Sat outside with nice views. Good value.

nah- when i tell you this was the best meal i’ve had in a long time it would be an understatement. everything was perfect. the falafel was soft inside w a crispy exterior. the samosas were extremely flavorful and the stuffed vine leaves were delicious. if you can- try everything here because it will not disappoint. ((not to mention the fact that it was some of the best hummus n baba ghanouj i’ve ever had)) on top of all the delicious food- the service was amazing too. this place is a true gem, definitely worth trying :)

Syrian coffee was delicious, it reminded me the the hospitality of my own Syrian friends when I had the opportunity to meet them at the Syrian Society of my university. Meals were authentic and everything was tasty. Everyone was kind. I’d like to thank the owner and staff members for this beautiful experience.

Had the Chicken Shawarma Kebab: Marinated chicken layered with their Specialty of Herbs & Spices, Served with Salad, Syrian bread & with basmati rice. So fresh, so delicious. Best I’ve had ever. Thank you so much!! Looked so good tasted so amazing I tucked right in. Only picture left is this, all gone. Won’t eat anything else today in memory of sacrifices made for me. Peace be with you stomach. 😋

What a great find, I loved everything about our visit and was sorry that I couldn't linger as I had a show to go to. I will definitely be back. Food, every mouthful was divine and generous helping so much so I had to take a doggy bag and the dish was even nicer the following day. Service was lovely, very welcoming and we left a generous tip to show our gratitude. The atmosphere was fabulous, my hips were moving to the music, great decor and I was intrigued to see the pipes, I'll definitely try them the next time

Absolutely amazing food! Everything was delicious and you get so much food. I highly recommend eating here any chance you get!

This is the best grilled lamb ribs I've ever had in Cork!! Service is super nice. Strongly recommend!

We stopped here for lunch after visiting the Butter Museum. We’ve never had Syrian food before but we loved everything. Falafel, hummus, pita bread, salad all delicious. Super friendly service too with the owner ducking in to chat with us.

Authentic Syrian cuisine, I had the best rise, lamb and falafel in my life. Lovely restaurant run by family. Highly recommended!

What an amazing find! Beautiful authentic Syrian restaurant offering a great choice of food with friendly and welcoming staff. Fresh Baclawa and a shisha with Syrian coffee sat outside topped it off perfectly!

Really tasty food. The hummus is delicious. I ordered the char grilled chicken skewers and rice and it was really tasty. I’ve eaten in and gotten takeaway and both times I’ve really enjoyed the experience. Thank you!

So nice to be out eating authentic, delicious Syrian food on the terrace at this gem of a restaurant, after 5 long months. We ordered the Syrian stew and Lamb Mansaf. Finished with a knafee that was an indulgent but fitting way to end the meal! The owner was lovely and service was unpretentious. Please go support this lovely local establishment nestled in the historic Shandon neighbourhood.

I had a great experience in this restaurant, I had a classic kofta kebab with Baba Ghanouj, it was very delicious , fresh meet and so tasty. Also we had Kabseh for the first time .

As a Syrian whose mother is the best cook among her 8 siblings, it is very high praise when I say this place rivals mama’s cooking. I’ve eaten at Michelin star arab restaurants in the states but I’d still come back to Cork for an incredible meal. Syrian food is the best of the Levant but unfortunately hard to find, so I highly recommend stopping by. The Kabseh and Kofta Kebab we had were incredible and the kibbeh was fresh and crispy! I only wish I had room to try more

We went here on Saturday night… it was our first time there. The food and the service was fabulous. Two lovely helpful and friendly servers. We met the chef before we left who was lovely and appreciative of the support for the restaurant. That was lovely to hear and we will definitely come back. The outside area and the inside was really cool and colourful. It had a real holiday vibe too.. really relaxed. Loved it.

Genuinely one of the best food Ive ever had in my life! With an eye to detail. Service was outstanding! Every part of the meal was spot on. A lot of good ingredients and effort went into that food. We shared Lamb Shish, Taboulleh, side syrian bread, Black tea with fresh mint and Baklava.

Beautiful fresh tasting food to be had, we had selection of starters/mezze. The baklava was fresh from oven and some of thes best, crispy and not too soggy!

Delicious Syrian meal! It was 20€ per person without desserts and absolutely worth it ! Cool atmosphere with Syrian music. I would highly recommend. I took kofta

The freshest and most delicious food in Cork! We were a table of two hungry adults and shared the calamari platter and the moussaka (two main courses) and even had leftovers to take home. Very reasonable prices, our mains were between €15-17 each I think, which you just don’t get in the city. The food is deliciously seasoned without being spicy (sensitive to spice here!) and beautifully presented. I will be back!
