Don't miss this place if you visit the ancient city centre. The restaurant is very tipical, the same for the dress of the waiters. Food was amazing and the offer very wide. You can enjoy traditional food smoking narghilé in a very special place...

We had a pleasant night, food was great and the restaurant was pretty much packed. An old Damas style Arabic House converted into a restaurant in the middle of Bab Touma neighborhood. Recommended when in Damascus, and don't forget to as for their traditional dessert

If you want one of the best and most famous Shawurma Plates in all of Damascus you must try the Alsediq Restaurant!!The Alsediq Restaurant is located in the Kanawat District just off of Khaled Ibn Al Walid Street near the Old City in Damascus. The entrance is down a small alleyway and is one of the most unimposing restaurant entrances you will ever see. The walk to this great restaurant along one of Damascusâs oldest Souks is great and a photographers hot spot!!This specialized Shawurma restaurant is open only for Lunch as it caters to the many shop owners from the surrounding shops and stalls.There are many tables within the restaurant and you are greeted warmly. The main dining area has many plants, both real and plastic, and in the center it has have a nice old Arabic Water Fountain. The open ceiling is covered with plastic so it is a bright with natural light all lunch long!I suggest you get there early so you have a great table as all tables are either reserved or occupied soon after opening. They do have a separate dining room for the extra and late customers, but it is not as nice as the main dining room!!Alsediq Restaurant is noted for itsâ Great Shawurma Plates. This is still the only Shawurma Restaurant that heats the meat by Charcoal!! The plates come with a nice salad; mixed pickles; great Arabic Bread and a desert. In the winter months they serve a nice Lentil Soup in addition to the above. The price is still very, very reasonable and the service is very fast and polite.This Damascus restaurant is well know, has a great reputation and is a must visit while enjoying a great Lunch!

If you want a very nice Pizza you must try the new restaurant called Manâooushe & More in the Abu Roumaneh District of Damascus is the place to eat!!We had their Take Away and it was very fast and the five Pizzaâs we ordered were quite good. The Pizza Margarita and the Pizza French Cheese were particularly good.Next time we may order their various Manâooushe plates or one of their salads.They do deliver which is great when you want it delivered hot to your door!
5. Luege's Pizziera
Reviewed By THOMASFROMDAMASCUS
Luigiâs Pizzeria is located at the Damascus Sheraton Hotel and is strictly an outdoor Summer Seasonal Restaurant. It does serve a very nice pizza and what I really liked is that within the menu you can design your own personal pizza and simply hand the waiter your order and in a short time your pizza arrives piping hot!The service was very fast and professional and the outdoor seating confortable. I do recommend you make reservations in advance as after nine to nine thirty the Pizzeria fills up. We found their prices to be a bit on the high side, but yet the evening was enjoyable. Finally, I am not sure how long they continue to stay open as it is definitely dependent on the weather in Damascus. Again it is always best to call in advanceâ¦
