My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Damascena. The coffee was rich and flavorful, and the hummus was absolutely delicious. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made our visit even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be returning soon!
Lovely place to have a bite to eat when visiting Birmingham. The atmosphere is calm and Arabian. We had the Lamb and Beef shawarma, turkish coffee, Jus Mush and the one that is like pizza. All the food was above average, however, if you like quantity, their servings are a little small. However, even though we like to eat a lot, we wanted something light for breakfast so this was perfect. Food is authentic and lovely. Definitely recommended 💯
Mine and my husband’s favourite cosy spot. The food, the ambience, the decor, everything is perfect. We love coming here. Our favourite thing to get on the menu is the Shawarma Arabiya and the Lemon Zest Chicken baguette, it’s a must try if you visit.
Perfect spot to go with small group of family/friends or couples. 10/10 highly recommend

I'd not been to a Damascena before, so was delighted with my experience today. Asking a busy cafe/restaurant for a table for 1 at 12:15 often results in an eye-roll and begrudging sacrifice of a table for 2 and the resulting lost revenue & tips. Not here! I was immediately offered a table by the window overlooking the cathedral square by a warm and welcoming host.
My order of a chicken shawarma wrap and a side of hummus was accompanied by a zingy ginger/orange/carrot juice. There was a fair wait for the food, which was fine by me as I had an afternoon to kill whilst waiting for my partner to conduct business in the city.
The food was delicious, authentic and beautifully presented with a garnish of various pickles, which should do wonders for my gut microbiome.
I topped lunch off with a pastel de nata and a black coffee, both rich and satisfying, and allowed for an extended period of laptoping. After another hour, I thought I'd pay for my table space by ordering a selection of Baclava-style sweet treats and a peppermint tea.
All in all, I can say that I've rarely arrived in a new city, found a comfortable spot with a view, been fed as and when needed, and got my head down to some semi-serious business. Well done Damascena team, you've made a life-long friend and supporter.
