We had need to leave a negative review previously due to poor quality. The service recovery from that review was exemplary. Not only did the business owner come to my home to discuss the drop in food quality but I was also given an understanding of why. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SERVICE & FOOD QUALITY @ 100%
Our favourite kebab House is back delivery the most excellent food. Thank you for valuing our custom!

Ordered soujuk (spicy sausage), lentil soup, grilled halloumi and battata harra (potatoes). The soujuk was disgusting, tasted strongly of cumin or something and sadly, had to throw away (hate wasting food). Everything else was edible but mediocre. Will not be ordering from there again.

The food is great, but literally every time I have ordered something from these guys they have always forgotten at least one item of food. Food quality is good, they just need to work on being more organized.

Generous portion sizes, I couldn't finish my meal. Great customer service. Quick delivery, said it would take 45 minutes but infact we only waited 15 minutes. Very friendly. Food hot on arrival. Would definitely keep ordering from here

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.

3rd time eating their food and consistency has been spot on. I've had chicken burger marinated to perfection, a lamb kofta in homemade flatbread wrap that was brilliant and now a special lamb steak wrap (also perfect). all excellent quality. What's very apparent is how much this Egyptian couple care about the quality of their food. the meat is so good.

This is our second order from here.. first one was fresh and delicious, the second one was dripping in oil (very unpleasant!) and the chips had obviously been microwaved as the polystyrene container had been melted by the chips! The chip oil also needs changing as smells and tastes old. Altogether, not very impressed I’m afraid. The order was made tonight via the app

Ordered through deliveroo. Unfortunately I don't think this kind of food works as delivery as it was a little cold and dry.
The hummus and tzatziki were very nice and well flavoured, but did not come with breads as advertised. The batata harra and cheese sambusa were also very flavourful and ample portions.
The vine leaves were a little tasteless but again the portion was very generous. Both the cheese and chilli manakish were also quite bland, but the bread itself was very nice and fluffy.
Lastly, the falafel and fattoush salad were both very disappointing. The falafel was incredibly dry and inedible. The salad was soggy and drenched in a tasteless dressing. It consisted of just iceberg lettece, tomatoes and onion and really didn't feel like value for money.
All in all, not a terrible take away, the portions are definitely ample but the food was underwhelming. Not something we would order again.
We were disappointed as we had hoped to have found a good meze restaurant and had chosen Damasco Grill based on its positive reviews. However, as I previously said, eating in may be a different experience.

Absolutely delicious - Tilapia fantastic and all the trimmings also. Houmous and Baba Ghanoush with bread and pastries I highly recommend. Warm and cosy out back in the heated marquee I felt like I was overseas on holiday ????. Friendly staff and speedy service. We will be back.

Extremely poor customer service. I had ordered three portions of chicken wings with lemon and herbs seasoning. Once I received the order, wings were overdone and did not have any seasoning. When I called in to let them know about the issue, not only did they fail to acknowledge the problem, they were extremely rude and confrontational. We like their food and that’s why we regularly place orders at the restaurant, but after the way we were treated, we will never order again. The chicken and lamb sheesh kebab was hastily made with all the stuffing spilling which made it impossible to eat.

Simply the worst service ever, I called to complain the chef had given my delivery driver a COLD kebab!! Literally had been sitting half an hour after it was cooked and then delivered, the restaurant said it was the drivers fault?? So why not make a FRESH kebab!! I will never eat here again, the guy hung up on me when I called to explain my kebab was cold - Hung up!!!!!!

I really wanted to like the food that is served here as it is so close to my house, but unfortunately it was a waste of money. Small portion sizes and over cooked dry kebab meat. My order arrived without the rice and the baklava I ordered, the staff at damasco grill quickly corrected this for me and were very kind, however the baklava tasted old and stale and was thrown away, the rice was the most enjoyable part of this home delivery. Very disappointed .

My family and I visited the Damascus grill last Saturday. The place is now under the new management, as the previous owner ran it into the ground (see previous reviews!) The Syrian guy who now owns the place was very generous in giving us extra sauce and splitting the orders between plates (we ate in). Polite, gracious, cheerful. The kebabs were VERY tasty as well, good quality meat. We forgot a wallet there and it was safely kept until we got back to pick it up. I highly recommend!

Food was absolutely diabolical, turned up over an hour late and it was the wrong order. Refused to take the food back or give a refund and having continuous arguments with them. Very rude and disrespectful. Food was too chewy to even eat, only order from here if you fancy a pile of rubbery sheep poo for dinner
