Damasco Grill Brighton

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.
