Honestly such good food. I ordered the immunity booster which is essentially fresh orange juice with some rose water. The fresh orange juice was genuinely probably the best fresh orange juice I have ever had!! Their desserts are also incredible. Their coffees are great too! All their dishes are lovely aswell. Can’t go wrong at all. Staff are hospitable aswell however sometime you do get forgotten about when it gets busy.

Damascena Harborne is an absolute delight — very welcoming atmosphere and the rich aromas of freshly brewed coffee and authentic Middle Eastern dishes. This time, we tried their new menu and lamb kabsa was absolutely delicious , freshly made & v tasty They always ask for people with allergies and everything is marked as GF, vegan etc! The staff were genuinely friendly , and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. This place has become one of my favourite spots in Birmingham — highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great food, great coffee, and a great atmosphere.

Went to damascena for the first time on monday, i have nothing bad to say. The food was incredible and filling, generous portion sizes and lovely presentation. The staff were super friendly and attentive despite the rush during the bank holiday. I was served by Mayar who was very helpful and always had big smiles on her face! The staff up at the bar were also very engaging- Mohamad nour in particular when taking my payment. Definitely will be coming back and recommending to all my friends

Overly expensive for the place and food they serve. Can’t say anyone went over and above to give us a good experience. Asked for soup first but it came just after mains. Could have gone to a high class restaurant for that kind of money and diner in style. Won’t be going again!

I always go to damascena in St Paul’s square as the service is always great and the food quality is excellent. I went to harborne with a friend and asked for a chai latte and they said they didn’t have oat milk and had to use coconut which they said it would taste alike. I tried to drink and didn’t like it and a male member of staff that I told this too shrugged and said ‘ I won’t be able to refund or exchange it sorry’ which I was quite disappointed. The food itself was good but the restaurant wasn’t as clean as it should be and staff was hostile.

The place has a nice ambiance and the food is consistently tasty. However, the service is extremely slow. I waited nearly 20-25 minutes with no sign of anyone approaching to take my order, and eventually had to call someone and tell them my order has not been taken. Unfortunately, this isn’t a one-off — it’s been the same experience every time I’ve visited.

Visité este restaurante a la hora del almuerzo con mi hija. Tuvimos que esperar 50 minutos hasta que nos atendieron desde el punto de pedido. Cuando llegó la comida había tantos platos compartidos que no podíamos poner un plato para nosotros mismos en la mesa. Le sugerí al camarero que combinemos algunas cosas y que por favor tomemos un plato. Se fue a la mesa de al lado para tomar su orden y nunca volvió con un plato, así que tuve que marcar a otra camarera. La comida era muy promedio, aunque el houmous era agradable. Nuestras patatas fritas de halloumi estaban bien, pero esto sin duda fue un almuerzo muy poco impresionante. La puerta seguía abierta, así que era muy calado y el personal parecía estar caminando sin darse cuenta de los clientes. Todo lo que queríamos lo teníamos que marcar y preguntar. Ciertamente no volveré aquí.

Después de haber visitado esta cafetería de Oriente Medio en el centro de Birmingham el año pasado, había sugerido que probáramos la sucursal de Harborne para el almuerzo del sábado. Llamé por teléfono con antelación para reservar una mesa para 2 pero no se le dijo ninguna necesidad de reservar a menos que 4 o más como paseo - ins siempre se puede acomodar. Llegó y esperó un tiempo para ser mostrado a una mesa, pero al seguir al camarero, desapareció en algunas puertas batientes, así que no estábamos seguros de dónde sentarnos. Pedí bebidas y 2 vasos de agua luego pedí comida - sopa, ensalada, kofta y un envoltorio para compartir. sopa y ensalada llegaron pero no cubiertos en la mesa en la caja (incapaz de comer sopa sin una cuchara). la bebida (cola) llegó y tuvo que pedir un vaso después de que le ofrecieron una pajita. Después de haber terminado la sopa/ensalada después de haber tenido que pedir cubiertos, preguntamos de nuevo por el agua pero ninguno se materializó. Pregunté de nuevo y finalmente trajo justo antes de la kofta. tuvimos que pedir al camarero que quitara los platos sucios cuando trajo la kofta. esperó siglos para el plato final e incluso después de preguntar, se les dijo que sería solo una corta espera más larga, pero no más platos sucios se quitaron. Eventualmente trajo y estaba sabroso, incluso si no tan caliente. Cuando pedimos la factura, venía con cargo por servicio añadido automáticamente, así que preguntamos si era discrecional, ya que sentimos que el servicio no era tan bueno y no quería pagar eso (a pesar de pagar eso cuando comemos fuera). cargo fue retirado y se dieron disculpas. Los platos sucios permanecieron en nuestra mesa y una larga mesa más cerca de la cocina que había permanecido con sus platos sucios durante más de media hora. El camarero que tomó el pago dijo que tenían poco personal, pero habíamos visto varios pedidos salir de la cocina para la entrega y los camareros a menudo caminaban a la cocina con las manos vacías a pesar de las mesas que podrían haber sido re-ocupados / girados para otros clientes permanecen desordenados. Decepcionante haber recomendado el lugar. No volveremos a pesar de que la comida está bien, hay alta competencia en Harborne y alrededores y haber viajado más de 40 minutos para llegar allí, lamentablemente no valió la pena.

This place has always been good and food delicious and service great. But recently standards have been slipping, and we did takeaway order. We only got half of the cup full despite paying for full karak chai. Owner needs to take a look as standards slipping means usual customers will stop coming.

If you're looking for an exceptional coffee experience beyond the usual chains, Damascena on Harborne High Street is the place to be. Unlike Starbucks, Costa, or Nero, this independent café offers not just great coffee but a truly authentic Levantine atmosphere. The name itself, inspired by Damascus, hints at the rich Syrian influence, but the menu takes you on a broader Middle Eastern journey. You'll find Lebanese dishes, Turkish-style coffee and teas, and delightful Egyptian cakes—all crafted with care and tradition. The decor, with its traditional Arabic outfits and warm ambiance, transports you straight to the heart of the East Levant, where the aromas of saffron and cardamom fill the air. One of the must-try drinks here is their Spanish Latte—the best in town! And if you have a sweet tooth, their cheesecake is simply to die for. If you're craving an escape from the ordinary without leaving Birmingham, Damascena is a hidden gem that brings the authentic flavors and spirit of the Middle East to Harborne. Find it right next to Costa—but trust me, once you've been here, you won’t look back!

Decepcionante. Tuvimos que esperar unos 30 minutos para nuestra comida a pesar de que había pocos otros clientes. El restaurante estaba frío. Tuvimos que mantener nuestros abrigos puestos todo el tiempo. La comida fue decepcionante. Las albóndigas secas que la camarera dijo que venían con una ensalada tenían solo un chorrito de perejil y granada. Al ser interrogada la camarera dijo que estaba equivocada y que la versión vegetariana venía con ensalada. Habíamos esperado tanto tiempo por la comida que no queríamos esperar de nuevo. El "calentamiento fuul" no estaba calentando en absoluto. Frío y soso. El té de menta era precioso. Me encantaba este lugar, pero en los últimos meses ha perdido su magia.

I’ve always had wonderful experiences at Damascena restaurant, which is why I’ve never felt the need to leave feedback before. Today, however, I was disappointed with how an issue was handled. We ordered a lamb shawarma wrap, which was delicious as always, and I also ordered a cravy cream (avocado milkshake), which I’ve enjoyed many times before. However, this time it had a strange taste, as if the ingredients weren’t fresh. When I mentioned this to the waiter, her response was very unprofessional. She insisted that the same person had made it as always and didn’t seem willing to take my concern seriously. While I tried to explain that I’m familiar with how it usually tastes, she showed a lack of trust in my feedback. Eventually, she said, “I’ll see what I can do,” but there was no apology or acknowledgment of my concern. Mistakes happen, and I understand that, but the way they are addressed is crucial. A simple apology goes a long way. Unfortunately, this experience has made me question whether I’d want to return to Damascena, as customer service is just as important as great food. I hope the staff can be trained to handle such situations better in the future!!

It’s unusual for me to leave a 5-star review, but I honestly can’t find anything to fault here. I visited the place on a Sunday afternoon and didn’t have to wait long for a table for four. We started with some drinks before moving on to food. What stood out to me was how delicious the food was. It didn’t look as pretty as I had hoped (though, to be fair, I may have really high expectations, so most people would probably rate the presentation 5 stars). But the taste was great, the portions were perfect, and the final bill was pleasantly lower than I expected—a definite plus. I also appreciated the service style. This isn’t one of those restaurants where the staff is constantly hovering over you. If you need something, you can easily find someone, which I much prefer to being “nagged” every few minutes about whether everything is okay. The place was warm and clean, and the music wasn’t too loud. However, next time, I might choose a table further from the coffee machine since the milk steamer/frother was a little noisy. :D There’s no parking directly in front of the restaurant, but that wasn’t an issue for me as I used a paid car park a short distance away. Based on this visit, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back in the future. Thank you!

Go to the city center or the one in Hagley Road, avoid this one as they seem to not care about customers anyways.

One of my favourite arab food places in Birmingham. I travel all the way from london to eat here. I had a memorable interaction with a young Syrian called Mohammed with Green eyes. He made me feel at home. Even after my food was served he made sure I had everything that was required to enjoy my special occasion with my newly wedded wife. He even congradulated us which made the occasion feel even better. Whenever I do pop back to Birmingham I will surely pay this place a visit. And despite the restaurant being very busy he took care of us and made sure everything was in order.

Celebrated my son's birthday here. Being of Syrian heritage we've been many times before and it's great to see that the quality of good, authentic food, and great service is consistently good. We'll be back soon. Thank you Damascena

Nuestro servidor Nour recomendó el Lahm Bi’Ajeen y fue genial. El café también estaba bueno. Ambiente agradable y personal amable.

Not good at all. It was better before. The food was nit tasty and seemed to be same as cheap shop kebabs and not fresh at all. Especially the meat kebab was very smelly and not tasty. Very pricey too. For the same prices you can have proper food elsewhere. They also try to sell foreign cans for the same price as popular brands. This is really disappointing. For example, when you order coke, they bring something called “Salaam Cola”🤣🙂↔️ and they charge the same price as coke. Wouldn’t go again.

Great pastries and coffee - the kids love to ear here after a long Sunday walk. The opening times are a bit unusual for a cafe/bakery tbh. Maybe it’s because I grew up in Europe, but bakeries should be open and running by 6am so people can have their breakfast coffee and loaf before work/school. I end up driving 10 minutes up the road to another bakery in the morning because, this one doesn’t open until 8:30

Very expensive compared to other pubs plus the food amour they give is very less for the price. The good part is customer service is great but the pub is very quiet.

Nice relaxed atmosphere. I just popped in for a cake and a coffee and both were great.

Pedimos dos cafés y una palmera de azúcar, cafés normales y la palmera súper empalagosa, 9,70 Me parece una pasada para lo que es, el servicio es bueno pero el estacazo también

Staff is kind, professional and welcoming. Location and atmosphere is great. Cosy, dog friendly cafe in the neighborhood that serves good food and sweet treats at reasonable prices with great coffee. Recomend Chicken souvlaki.
