Old Damascus (coventry Road)

Delicious Syrian lamb kebab wraps here that are my favourite. Serve other delicious kebabs with rice and other options too. Top Marks for this hidden gem. The half chicken and rice is amazing too along with the homemade burgers. Be sure to get some freshly squeezed orange juice with your meal. Top marks

A lovely restaurant with traditional regional food, Old Damascus does not fail to deliver. I have ordered from this restaurant on several occassions, and have recently visited in store, and have made several observations. They accept card and have indoor seating. An open kitchen, O.D cooks everything infront of you, and you can see how everything is clean and well made with care. Service, upon entering, I was instantly greeted. Order, I made several requests, which were all expertly catered to, such as customisation of my order (specific salads), I asked to pay upfront and was allowed to do so and I was given a wide choice of drinks. Upon making my order I was shown to my seat and had my order taken to me, it was not the fastest service of food, but this is not quick to cook food, and it is all made fresh, so the time was adequate and very pleasant. After I had finished eating, I was told that I could leave my plate and it would be cleared for me. I ordered a chicken shawarma meal, it was very hot, juicy and delicious well cooked chicken, the wrap was crunchy and stretch, simply beautiful. The chips could have been slightly better, but that is personal opinion, they were also very nice. The sauces here are gorgeous. Lovely hardworking staff that deserve full respect for their craft and dedication for delivering good service and food. Attentive staff, good food and pleasant atmosphere, this restaurant is worth a visit.

Grub from Old Damascus, Coventry Road Ordered: a mixed grill with rice and salad, a batata haara and a large fries. Delivery was on time and the food was packaged really well. I'll get the main negative out the way first - the fries were slightly undercooked and I instantly regretted ordering a 'large'. Fries get a 3/10 The beef kebab was grilled to perfection juicy, tasty, succulent and a decent size - a delight to eat. 9/10 The chicken kebab was also grilled perfectly and was equally as enjoyable as the abovementioned. Splendid in taste and extremely juicy 😋 9/10 The chicken tikka was a delight. The peices were tender and cooked perfectly 9/10 The rice was tasty but disappointingly greasy 5/10 The salad was fresh n crispy and made the rice consumption somewhat easier 8/10 The batata haara was very tasty but slightly overcooked and again, very very greasy 6/10 Overall it was a tasty meal and despite the negatives, the food sheikh would order from this establishment again. The food sheikh recommends this joint! @myolddamascus #halal #restaurant #grill #mixedgrill

If you've never tried one of their platters, you're missing out. I'm more than happy to travel 20 miles to eat at this place and it's a breath of fresh air to have Syrian/Arab food which feels like it nourishes the soul as opposed to the oil soakes rubbish that is the in the surrounding shops. Anyone that has experienced life outside of chicken and chips and has a more varied palette will appreciate this!
