👍👍 Excuse the dodgy looking plastic plate, as I was on a holiday and it was brought from home :) The food is so delicious. The chicken liver starter tasted like a proper home cooked meal. And although it was starter,there was enough for two people to have it as a main. Rice as you see looks beautiful... People often mention doner,

And although it was starter,there was enough for two people to have it as a main. Rice as you see looks beautiful too. I've also ordered Margarita pizza for someone else and I normally hate that type, as it's too cheesy for me. But this one was absolutely fab!!! Thank you!!!

    If I would’ve been able to give this place 6 stars, I would. Fantastic and definitely one among the best restaurants serving middle eastern food in Brighton. I can't recommend enough, it's all deliciousness, the flavours that they are getting out of the food is just incredible. Amazing chef at this place. Priced well considering the quality. Look forward to returning and would certainly recommend.

    Ordered via Deliveroo and wish I hadn’t. I would be a lot less hungry and financially better off. The doner meat had clearly been sitting there for some time. Very dry and hard and tasteless. Hardly any salad or sauce. The Mediterranean Breakfast was pretty rank. Potatoes had been reheated, I do not know how many times. Tasted disgusting, it made me retch. Ate some of the lebheh which was okay but not much taste to it, I was trying to make the hard, dry doner meat taste better, but this did taste fresh. The rest of Mediterranean Breakfast was horrible. I believe I got this dried up, old food because I had a delivery and not much a customer can do then. This was expensive at the best of times and for it to taste like that is a horrible thing to do to people. Basically, it’s robbery. I am reporting.

    I planned a night out with my other half and we couldn't have chosen a better place. Food was great and so was the staff. Always checking if we were happy with everything. Place 100% recommended

    Great place for vfm takeaway Middle Eastern food. Staff are helpful, prices competitive and selection excellent. Certainly better quality food than the regular Kebab houses scattered across the land.

    I ordered the mixed grill and a doner wrap. Quality and portion sizes of meats overall good, service and cleanliness very good. The major letdown/shortfall for me was the seasonings, condiments, salad and garnish items. It is a restaurant in atmosphere and price, yet the only two condiments available were store bought garlic mayo and hot sauce. The kind you get in 1 litre bottles. I have been to countless, Kurdish, Syrian, Lebanese and Turkish restaurants and they always have diverse salad, pickle, garnish and sauce selections to serve with food. Things always available are pickled purple cabbage, pickled turnip, fresh cucumber, salt pickle cucumber, olives, hummus, fresh parsley, mint and thick Greek type yogurt . In a particular good eatery they might also have halloumi cheese. Damasco grill only had the no frills economy hot sauce and garlic mayo plus iceberg lettuce, onion, tomato and hot pickled peppers. For me this was very disappointing and not fitting of the establishment and it's high quality grilled meats. The meats themselves are also plain and barely seasoned which is quite normal but means you really need the condiments! The portion size of the doner wrap is very good and I'd say the best value item on the menu. However because it doesn't have the fast flow of customers like a low price chip shop, the doner gets very dry. Which again means that you really really need sauces. On the plus side this means that the doner is thoroughly cooked, fresh and hot. Unlike many chip shops which can serve you stuff undercooked and tepid which will make you sick.

    I hadn't been here before but on a miserable wet day and a shopping trip we found a table in this bustling pub. Restaurant upstairs or tables in the bar. Family and Dog friendly. Clean toilets!. We had the roast shank of lamb. Big portion served quickly and around £14.00 perfect for a stumbled upon late lunch at around 4pm
