The ambiance is nice. Servers are super nice and patient. We had a good brunch here. Food is okay. The thing we loved the most was the falafels with humus. They were freshly fried and very tasty.

Great food, always love the ambience and staff is ever so friendly and welcoming. Niamh served us and there were few of us, she stunned all of us as she remembered every single one of our orders, very impressive which proves Damascena staff takes pleasure in providing ace customer service. Lovely place for family and friends gathering.

Accidental find. Lovely food. Obviously popular; had to wait a few minutes to be seated and a while for our order but we were kept informed of timings and the food was authentic and delicious. We were served by Leila who was efficient, professional and helped with questions but left us peacefully eating until we needed her assistance again. Thank you.

I; and a friend met for drinks and a catch up. My friend had an orange zinger and I had a latte. We were served by Ennis who took our orders and returned with them. At all times he had a smile on his face e and was very pleasant. We asked for the bill which came quickly as did our change. A wonderful experience thank you Damascena and Ennis.

Such good value for delicious food. Have eaten here a few times over the years and really feel the quality has improved. Soups (Lentil and Harira) are really good, as are the hummus and Baba gannoush dips. And a wide selection of drinks too - I particularly like the Turkish samovar tea.

I was really excited to visit here following a recommendation from my wife and her mother, and I really was not disappointed. On arrival the staff were friendly and welcoming and we were quickly seated at a table, and provided with menus for food and drinks. The menu is quite varied and everything sounded so nice, I struggled to decide as it's not a type of cuisine I'm familiar with, but I made some choices based on the clear descriptions. Drinks were served quickly, and we had to wait a little while for food (this is clearly stated on the menu). When the food arrived, it was well presented in a combination of bowls and square wooden trays and looked very appetising. Everything I ordered was lovely, and everything I tasted from the rest of the party's dishes was equally good. I particularly enjoyed the lamb soup (I forget the menu name) but I had such a depth of flavour, it made me really happy. Desserts were chosen from a cabinet near the front of the store, and we're very enjoyable, again in line with the cuisine a little different from every day fare elsewhere. Particular mention to Lerla and Ferdi who provided excellent service the whole time we were there. Would I visit again, yes, most definitely, perhaps brunch next time as the breakfast menu looks exciting.

I came here last night to meet a friend, who had never been here before. We were served by Mohammed who couldn't have been more helpful. We asked for his recommendations and they did not disappoint- ordering two delicious platters. He was so knowledgeable, and they were so delicious. We also were served by a lovely lady called Wisal, who was so helpful and friendly. To our horror, as we're chatting away, we asked them what time they closed- they told us 9pm- at 9.15pm....but not to worry and to take our time. Just a lovely atmosphere in there, we were very impressed. It was also great value for money. One of the best places to eat in Birmingham- you can see why it has such a great reputation.
