Damasco Shisha lounge in Brighton and Hove

Stone cold and complete wrong order.

Great place for vfm takeaway Middle Eastern food. Staff are helpful, prices competitive and selection excellent. Certainly better quality food than the regular Kebab houses scattered across the land.

I planned a night out with my other half and we couldn't have chosen a better place. Food was great and so was the staff. Always checking if we were happy with everything. Place 100% recommended

I hadn't been here before but on a miserable wet day and a shopping trip we found a table in this bustling pub. Restaurant upstairs or tables in the bar. Family and Dog friendly. Clean toilets!. We had the roast shank of lamb. Big portion served quickly and around £14.00 perfect for a stumbled upon late lunch at around 4pm

Great, a proper old fashioned traditional pub. Good atmosphere, a well stocked bar and good service. What more could you want?! Good wide entrance with step free access which is a bit of rarity in Brighton. Opposite two of the best restaurants in the area Curry Leaf and Petis Pois. Ideal for a pre dinner drink.

Came for lunch with friends. Lovely setting, very friendly staff . I had the sausage and mash. Good portion , but not much taste to the sausage and mash was not creamy enough

الشيشة حلوة لكن لا يقبل الدفع الا كاش

‏For first time I ordered chicken shish kebab BBQ with rice , I wish didn’t, the chicken it was not cooked like plastic and had blood , yellow rice as well there was no cooking of the day and ‏like stone. they charged me £15 I’ll never order again .

الاكل عادي لكن يوجد شيشة خلف المطعم المكان نظيف وجميل، لكن الكراسي ليست مريحة

There's a very respectable man named Amoo. Also Mahmoud Shisha is excellent better than anywhere but sometimes the flavor is not good

Ordered via Deliveroo and wish I hadn’t. I would be a lot less hungry and financially better off. The doner meat had clearly been sitting there for some time. Very dry and hard and tasteless. Hardly any salad or sauce. The Mediterranean Breakfast was pretty rank. Potatoes had been reheated, I do not know how many times. Tasted disgusting, it made me retch. Ate some of the lebheh which was okay but not much taste to it, I was trying to make the hard, dry doner meat taste better, but this did taste fresh. The rest of Mediterranean Breakfast was horrible. I believe I got this dried up, old food because I had a delivery and not much a customer can do then. This was expensive at the best of times and for it to taste like that is a horrible thing to do to people. Basically, it’s robbery. I am reporting.

Awful doner never will buy again

If I would’ve been able to give this place 6 stars, I would. Fantastic and definitely one among the best restaurants serving middle eastern food in Brighton. I can't recommend enough, it's all deliciousness, the flavours that they are getting out of the food is just incredible. Amazing chef at this place. Priced well considering the quality. Look forward to returning and would certainly recommend.

Very good restaurant and café highly recommend..

Burned cancerogeneous carbon all over the wrap. I called the establishment twice and they only suggested me to ask for a refund via uber instead of trying to send me some proper food. Uber says I ordered 9 times from them. Shame that they care so little about public health and customer loyalty.

Fantastic environment and friendly service in the heart of the Gothic Quarter! Highly recommend any of the sampler platters

Everything was lovely and delicious especially the chicken liver ! Lovely owners as well !

There are good kebabs, bad kebabs and average kebabs but there are also ... "Oh my god, where has this food been all my life" grills of heaven. This is simply the best there is anywhere outside of Syria itself!

The best kebab in town! They take pride in every order making sure its hot, well presented and consistent. They even have a shisha bar 😍

Ordered Damasco mixed grill today, it's just disgusting. The meat is not fried, the koft kebab is raw inside, the natural minced meat is absolutely not fried, all the meat is without spices, not salted at all, and a little warm, it was simply not fried, I do not advise anyone to buy food in this place. Previously, I already made orders here and it was very tasty, but this time it is not possible to eat food

Lovely owners, great food and the homemade sauces are next level! 👌

Amazing Shisha mango & Mint tea

This is my first time ordering from here and thought I would give them a go as they had special offers and OMG, I am so glad I did. I’m always worried when ordering from places I’ve not ordered from before but this restaurant didn’t disappoint. The food was delicious, hot and well packaged and prices were very reasonable! I will definitely be ordering from here again. Very happy with the delivery as well. Mark

Food arrived very quickly and hot. Service was great too. Would definitely recommend ++

I planned a night out with my other half and we couldn't have chosen a better place. Food was great and so was the staff. Always checking if we were happy with everything. Place 100% recommended

Food turned up luke warm, potatoes dry and old and no bread with the Tazkizi. Not the best

Good tasty and fresh food, authentic and great value for money. Really generous portions, staff lovely too. We live nearby and will be coming back.

Ordered online, food arrived quick and it was so good. Thank you to the people who work there.

Excuse the dodgy looking plastic plate, as I was on a holiday and it was brought from home :) The food is so delicious. The chicken liver starter tasted like a proper home cooked meal. And although it was starter,there was enough for two people to have it as a main. Rice as you see looks beautiful too. I've also ordered Margarita pizza for someone else and I normally hate that type, as it's too cheesy for me. But this one was absolutely fab!!! Thank you!!!

The food is absolutely amazing, really friendly staff & the chilli sauce is to die for. Every thing is fresh and super tasty! Definitely highly recommend this Mediterranean cuisine to everyone.

Absolutely lovely! Very friendly staff, I fully recommend!

Amazing 👏, very nice and friendly staff ,innovative recepies (very nice pink pickels) ,the place also has a very nice garden on the back ,the food is tasty and portions are generous. We'll done !!!

Great food! And very reasonably priced

Very nice place and very polite and helpful staff, also very nice food worth a visit especially the back shisha garden

I ordered Shawerma and lamb grilled plater with hummos and yoghurt and Chips with salad on side, it was delicious i enjoyed the meal, salad was fresh, Shawerma and lamb were Juicyyyy loved the service inside the restaurant, they were fast, very respectful and understanding, they even asked me if i have any allergies before ordering!!

Tried for the first time tonight. Really good portions and scrumptious food. Really like the chilli peanut butter

Fantastic we love the kebabs so tasty family run business great customer service and a winner every time thanks so much we think you are the best

Best Chicken Schwarma EVER!!! Amazing flavours and delivered quickly with a smile. Can’t wait to order from you again. :)

We had need to leave a negative review previously due to poor quality. The service recovery from that review was exemplary. Not only did the business owner come to my home to discuss the drop in food quality but I was also given an understanding of why. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SERVICE & FOOD QUALITY @ 100% Our favourite kebab House is back delivery the most excellent food. Thank you for valuing our custom!

The food is great, but literally every time I have ordered something from these guys they have always forgotten at least one item of food. Food quality is good, they just need to work on being more organized.

The Full English was disgusting, had to leave it. Mystery meat cheap cheap cheap ingredients. Yuk!

Great food, good people. Always a pleasure getting our dinner from here; generous portion sizes, great quality kebabs. Pleasant, friendly service - would recommend

Just had my first take away and it was absolutely delicious ! When it was dropped off they asked can you do a review, well that tells me they are confident with there food and they are right !! Highly recommend

Generous portion sizes, I couldn't finish my meal. Great customer service. Quick delivery, said it would take 45 minutes but infact we only waited 15 minutes. Very friendly. Food hot on arrival. Would definitely keep ordering from here

I have been here a few times now and it never fails to fill me up. The food is gorgeous and the staff are very friendly. Well worth a try if you are in the area.

3rd time eating their food and consistency has been spot on. I've had chicken burger marinated to perfection, a lamb kofta in homemade flatbread wrap that was brilliant and now a special lamb steak wrap (also perfect). all excellent quality. What's very apparent is how much this Egyptian couple care about the quality of their food. the meat is so good.

I’ve tried the Kofta Stew and rice, it was amazing especially I really miss the Arabic food.

Fabulous food and very nice place

lovely staff, huge portions, quick delivery and absolutely YUMMY food! Highly recommended

Very nice and great value, many thanks

Another lovely meal. Ordered via just eat and they called to check I had selected things correctly. Really friendly. Food always freshly cooked and always arrives in time. Thank you so much for the little treat too

Tastes absolutely out of this world. One of my favourite takeaways in hove

Excellent food , best home food in town and great prices . Highly recommended

Amazing place! Great service and variety of delicious food provided! Highly recommend! 👌

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.

damasco got the loud flavours and kebab is on job on a real note

This is our second order from here.. first one was fresh and delicious, the second one was dripping in oil (very unpleasant!) and the chips had obviously been microwaved as the polystyrene container had been melted by the chips! The chip oil also needs changing as smells and tastes old. Altogether, not very impressed I’m afraid. The order was made tonight via the app

Food is very delicious, especially the halloumi wrap and the staff are very friendly. A really Great place!

Ordered through deliveroo. Unfortunately I don't think this kind of food works as delivery as it was a little cold and dry. The hummus and tzatziki were very nice and well flavoured, but did not come with breads as advertised. The batata harra and cheese sambusa were also very flavourful and ample portions. The vine leaves were a little tasteless but again the portion was very generous. Both the cheese and chilli manakish were also quite bland, but the bread itself was very nice and fluffy. Lastly, the falafel and fattoush salad were both very disappointing. The falafel was incredibly dry and inedible. The salad was soggy and drenched in a tasteless dressing. It consisted of just iceberg lettece, tomatoes and onion and really didn't feel like value for money. All in all, not a terrible take away, the portions are definitely ample but the food was underwhelming. Not something we would order again. We were disappointed as we had hoped to have found a good meze restaurant and had chosen Damasco Grill based on its positive reviews. However, as I previously said, eating in may be a different experience.

Really THE best shawarma and falafel place! Fresh, authentic flavours. Super friendly staff and great service. Delicious food and so reasonably priced. Highly recommend

Used Damasco for the first time last night after receiving a menu through the door a few days ago. The food was superb!!. Highly recommend. Will certainly be calling them again very soon. *****

Just ordered the mixed grill for 2 Very tasty! Fed both adults and a hungry teen. Made a lovely change and will be returning soon

Absolutely delicious - Tilapia fantastic and all the trimmings also. Houmous and Baba Ghanoush with bread and pastries I highly recommend. Warm and cosy out back in the heated marquee I felt like I was overseas on holiday 😊. Friendly staff and speedy service. We will be back.

Food was Very delicious and authentic. But not impressed with sitting in a Markee.

Lovely restaurant, delicious food and thank you for the complimentary مناقيش 😋😋😁😁

The worst kebab i have ever eaten tasteless ,dry and poor quality the only good thing was the salad . Very disappointing

Great food. I hady chicken wings and BBQ chicken and cheese burgers. Amazing food and very good price and delivery

Great place and great food. Recommend this 100% and worth the money too.

Damasco Grill This place is welcoming with charming service, the food Was great. Everything is perfect. Such a friendly staff. Would highly recommend 😋

Such a wonderful place... Looking forward to go back soon.... 😍😍😍

Amazing food with a great price

Simply the worst service ever, I called to complain the chef had given my delivery driver a COLD kebab!! Literally had been sitting half an hour after it was cooked and then delivered, the restaurant said it was the drivers fault?? So why not make a FRESH kebab!! I will never eat here again, the guy hung up on me when I called to explain my kebab was cold - Hung up!!!!!!

The food was delicious and shisha is the best in brighton, some times i take the train from London to Portslade station to enjoy the extraordinary shisha they do. Great job الاخوة الخليجيين ربعنا انصحكم بالشيشه عندهم تراها مضبوطه والاكل ماعليه كلام .. صعب تلقى اكل وشيشه حلوين بمكان واحد بس هالمكان الوحيد الي لقيته يجمع الاثنين وعندهم مباريات على بيان سبورت بالتعليق العربي كانك في مقاهي الخليج.

Extremely poor customer service. I had ordered three portions of chicken wings with lemon and herbs seasoning. Once I received the order, wings were overdone and did not have any seasoning. When I called in to let them know about the issue, not only did they fail to acknowledge the problem, they were extremely rude and confrontational. We like their food and that’s why we regularly place orders at the restaurant, but after the way we were treated, we will never order again. The chicken and lamb sheesh kebab was hastily made with all the stuffing spilling which made it impossible to eat.

My apparently LARGE chicken Shish kebab! Untouched and inedible. Fortunately I've been refunded, but all very inconvenient.

Just had our first order delivered! The doner kebab was so tasty, good salad, not oily at all and the pita bread held together. Well impressed. Cajun chicken burger the same, clean, non greasy and so tasty! Will definitely be ordering again. Thanks.

Amazing place to join with friends or alone authentic flavor of Egipt. Big menu of Shisha, arabic te or coffee. They have kitchen as well if you want to have a meal. Go and try, you will never disappoint

Tried tested no complaints perfect.

Really nice food and the chips where too hot to eat when they arrived! Only 4 stars as we had to wait over an hour for our food to arrive

Very good food with a wide variety of middle east recipes, polite and friendly staff!

Great food very friendly and hard working staff . You can see they take pride in what they do . Would recommend this place for sure . Most of the food is bursting with flavour.

Came to collect our order tonight and cannot believe how nice the place was and how welcoming the staff were .The food was spot on and we got given free meat to try and free drink. Would highly recommend this place be back soon .

One of the bwst sharwamas i have had in ages in brighton

Gonzalo like this place nice grill

The food are great ..lovely staff ..give it a go it worth it ..

Recently under new management and they're doing a great job. The menu has been extended, I can recommend the Lamb Kuzu with rice, delicious.

Favourite chicken kebab in Hove. The bread and meat is such good quality! And when delivered it's always so quick!

The chicken burgers have to be the .and best value for money love their food

Absolutely lovely. Wings are proper nice!

Very good grilled food, favourite burger * high tower *

My family and I visited the Damascus grill last Saturday. The place is now under the new management, as the previous owner ran it into the ground (see previous reviews!) The Syrian guy who now owns the place was very generous in giving us extra sauce and splitting the orders between plates (we ate in). Polite, gracious, cheerful. The kebabs were VERY tasty as well, good quality meat. We forgot a wallet there and it was safely kept until we got back to pick it up. I highly recommend!

Food was absolutely diabolical, turned up over an hour late and it was the wrong order. Refused to take the food back or give a refund and having continuous arguments with them. Very rude and disrespectful. Food was too chewy to even eat, only order from here if you fancy a pile of rubbery sheep poo for dinner

The food is absolutely diabolical. Not only did they bring the wrong food. They ruined my girlfriends food by putting chilli sauce in her kebab and refused to refund it or replace it. I would never recommend this place for food. The level of incompetence is beyond me. Look after your customers. I will continue to write poor reviews as we are so insulted by the way my girlfriend was spoken to not only by the staff, even the owner. DO NOT ORDER!
