    Highly recommend Damascus! I stopped in Saturday evening and ordered to go. I got the kefta platter and it was amazing! It's been years since I had kefta this good. The rice was perfect as was the hummus, rice and pita bread. The platter was reasonably priced - possibly under when you consider the portions. The women working were very nice, pleasant and personable. I'm looking forward to going back soon!

    This place has the best Mediterranean food in the area. They are cleaned, organized, and professional when it comes to food. I highly recommend this place to try the best Mediterranean cuisine. I got two plates with good food and sides and cost me nothing compared for the food I was served.

    Excellent! The chicken was very flavorful and I could eat the rice and hummus everyday. Iโ€™m just mad that Iโ€™m just now discovering this place but now that I now Iโ€™ll be a frequent visitor.

    The food was wonderful and the wait staff was extraordinary. The cauliflower and baba ganoush sandwich this time, and such a satisfying healthy meal all around.

    We got the 25 dollar platter (with a side of grape leaves) to go, and not only was it excellent, but there will be plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. Our Middle Eastern neighbors were right: this place is great!

    What a gem of a restaurant! The falafel platter was great value, with the falafel perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Though my friend and I were the only ones in the restaurant, they took their time to make the food with fresh with great care. The owner and chef were so friendly and brought us a complimentary dessert and appetizer. Lastly, the baklava was good and HUGE! Highly recommend it. Will be visiting again.

    If I could give more stars I would. First, the service is amazing. Such sweet owners/employees working. Second, the food is so good. We ordered a ton of food and expected to not like at least something but nope. We loved everything. I had the fried cauliflower and eggplant sandwich. Wasn't expecting it to be great but it surprised us. I would order again for sure. My husband got a mixed grill with lamb chops when I tell you those were the BEST lamb chops I've ever had, I mean it. Literally everything we tried was amazing. This place deserves so much hype. You can tell they make their food with love.

    One of my favorite places to eat. I always get the chicken kabob platter with rice. The chicken is well seasoned and tender, the salad made with fresh ingredients and the hummus/garlic sauce are perfect for dipping and mixing in. The price is reasonable considering the quality/quantity of food.

    Get here as fast as you can. The fattoush salad is my new favorite salad. The Baba gannouj was exceptional. Start with the lentil soup. Get a cup unless you plan to share. The falafel platter was great and so was the chicken shawarma platter. We had more than enough for leftovers. Can't wait to come again

    Amazing food and friendly staff. We tried about half the menu and it was all amazing. If you're unsure about what to get, split the sampler with a friend or two, there's enough to go around.

    Best Mediterranean food around Akron. Placed a very large order for my sister surprise early birthday celebration, and we all enjoyed it. Pricey but kosher and good.

    The food my wife and I had was great, and the woman who served us was nice. Only real issue was the price is on the higher end, but definitely still somewhere we will revisit!

  • 5/5 MarcoThePug 6 months ago on Google
    Can't say enough good things about this place. I go here every couple of weeks. The owners are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. And the food is on a whole other level. Healthy and delicious. If you go, try the baklava. It's AMAZING

  • 5/5 Natalie P. 3 years ago on Google
    Always a great meal at Damascus! Love the chicken shawarma and baba ganoush! If you haven't been here yet, definitely try it out. Everything is fresh and flavorful and I am obsessed with the garlic sauce. So tasty!

  • 5/5 Aaron T. 3 years ago on Google
    Outstanding food! Generous portions prepared fresh and served by great people. I donโ€™t have any family heritage from the same part of the world where this cuisine comes from, yet whenever I get food from here, it feels like home cooked comfort food. Best Mediterranean in the area, by far. Try the cauliflower appetizer!

  • 5/5 Tee F. 3 years ago on Google
    The food is absolutely phenomenal very fresh and cooked to perfection. The restaurant is clean, the staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. 10/10 recommend. Best Mediterranean food you will find in all of Ohio!!!!! Try everything on the menu will not disappoint.

  • 5/5 Heather G. 3 years ago on Google
    My husband and I dined at Damascus Mediterranean for our anniversary, and we were not disappointed! The young woman who took our order was kind and patient with us as we inquired about various items on the menu, taking time to explain each and offer recommendations. The food arrived hot, fresh, and promptly. We decided on a platter for two that included a wide variety of flavors and combinations. Every bite was a taste sensation, and we'll definitely return to try other menu options.

  • 5/5 David R. 3 years ago on Google
    The food is awesome here. We had the combo platter which had chicken, pork, beef and the best lamb I've had in a long long time. It came with a side of hummus and a side salad. We also had the falafel and it was great. Dont be fooled by the outside. It's small but the food on the inside is big on flavor. Also if you get the chance talk to Roseanne, she's from Brooklyn, with the classic Brooklyn accent. She's a real sweetheart.

    Today I had lunch here for the first time. The restaurant has some indoor seating and 3 outdoor patio tables, we sat outside on the patio since the weather was actualy cooperating today. The lady that works here is very nice and polite. We ordered inside then sat on the patio, she was nice enough to bring everything out for us. We all got the lamb kabob platter. My Dad got fries instead of rice for some reason. The fries were awesome, cooked in super clean oil but the rice OMG it was so good and full of flavor, perfect amount of spices. The lamb was ultra tender, seemed to be Marinated for at least 24 hours or to perfection. The Baba ganoush was on the side was some the best I've had before, 2nd best in my life, the first place was out of business years ago so this is the best. The veggie salad with it was super fresh, I hate fresh tomatoes but I ate every bit in their salad. Perfect. The garlic sauce was amazing, ultra garlicky. The pita with some Baba ganoush, lamb, garlic sauce and rice all together... Mediterranean food heaven!!!! Sorry to say it but they blow Aladdin's out of the water!

    Everything about this place is perfect. Can't believe I've never found it before! I had the grape leaves and the falafel hummus platter. My son had the chicken tenders and fries. Mine was perfectly authentic (I hate to repeat, but how can I not). My son's was your typical kids chicken tenders, exactly like he wanted. Hard to find a place that suits my fancy and his so we'll. 1000 stars if possible. Best grape leaves I've ever had. And they have Google Pay, so they're with the times. Visit!!!!

    Absolutely Delicious Meal!! The Grape Leaves, Chicken Shawarma Platter, Chicken Shawarma Sandwich and Grilled Chicken Salad were Very Pleasing to the Palate.

  • 5/5 John S. 3 years ago on Google
    We had the fattoush salad and shawarma sandwich. Both were fantastic. The salad was very fresh with crispy pita and good level of spices. The chicken shawarma had an interesting mix of spices. They were very good.

    I came here to buy lunch and I love the food and the staff was extra nice... I also bought a 200 dollar gift card for my employees so they can also enjoy the food as I did.

  • 1/5 Vicki B. 3 years ago on Google
    We went in after being closed another week and we had a gift card, they refused the card that we paid money for. They told us that they would lose money if they took it. They already had gotten passing for it! Will never return and will tell everybody I know not to go there or buy a gift card for anyone! How horrible! And were very rude about also!!
