Damascus Bite in Tower Hamlets

It was a fantastic experience My son and I enjoyed every bite. We been offered some sweet to go home with.

Stumbled into this place not knowing how good the food, service and atmosphere would be! Thanks guys for our yummy shawarma wrap!! Delicious 😻

This is the greatest kebab shop in London. Alhamdullilah.

Love this place, love the food, love the people , great place would recommend

This is honestly the best place in London. Bossman is the greatest

Best kebab place in London 👍👍👍👍

Delicious food, excellent value on Brick Lane, super friendly people.

My favourite Lebanese in London. Fabulous to eat in or take out. Highly recommend.

Great food and very friendly waiter. Would recommend!

Asombrosamente asqueroso envoltorio de cordero. Cordero maloliente con demasiada sal tratando de ocultar los muchos problemas de la cosa. Espero que sus otras cosas sean comestibles.

The most unhygienic restaurant I’ve been to in a long time. I got food poisoning from this place. Don’t eat there; it’s not clean.

Food was great but took more than half an hour to be served which was a little annoying. But staff was kind and helpful. Maybe it was really busy when I went there.

Great authentic Syrian food and friendly service! Try the Syrian style shawarma :) it’s lovely with some Arabic tea

Great service and amazing food. Would definitely recommend

Very high level shawerma love it recommend 100%

Amazing service and wonderful staff authentic food :)

Hi, I'm local. One of the best kebabs and services I had in London. Place is amazing. Thank you, Alex approved.

The best place ever, warm food, delicious and tasty, gentle and lovely atmosphere at Brick Lane one wonderful area very tourist. I strongly recommend this place, don't miss up the opportunity to eat on this place.

Had a chicken shawarma with pickles and fries. Best I’ve had in the UK so far. Very close if exactly like the ones we get in the Middle East.

It's the best restaurant I have when to in years good service loads if vegetarian food and kind waiters I definitely recommend this place

Muy sabrosa , la comida amable del personal muy deliciosa Recomiendo a mi familia y amigos que vengan a restaurante y los dulces muy sabrosos

not great, not good, dirty, not too friendly

Nice food. Depressing atmosphere.

The chicken shawarma wrap was the best I have EVER had. The service is also incredible. I will be back!!!

I ordered a salad with mix kebab on top. It was flavorful and quick. The owner was friendly.

Super accommodating! Beautiful interior and super friendly staff! Food was incredible and was served with joy. I will return!

I visited the Damascu bite with my brother for the first time, and straight away I was impressed with the layout and the atmosphere. The host was very polite and respectful and made us feel welcomed. The food was fantastic and great value for money, and I would highly recommend anyone to visit and have a wonderful experience. You will have a great experience and happy memories to take away with you.

Amazing experience in this place!!! The food quality is 🤌🤌 and the hospitality is amazing ! Highly recommend ❤️

You can do a take away but I don't recommend dine-in... Doesn't felt like hygienic environment

Delicious food with friendly service and big portions. Falafel was ultra fresh.

Have had food poisoning since 3am and I have a flight to catch in 3 hours.

Best and most authentic place and food I've had in a very very long time their shawarma tops all hands down and i go there on the regular and the owner is just a delight

Food was extremely bland. The chicken shawarma had absolutely no flavour and was very greasy

Food is great. Staff are friendly. It needs more attention regarding seatings and service.

Very nice, courteous service garnished with nice conversation and delicious falafel. And only 10m away from the new Banksy street art monkey painting.

Delicious I will be back when I’m next in London

I had the lamb shawarma which was pretty good overall. But the server was rude, dismissive and seemed to have a chip on his shoulder, especially if asked for any deviation - even a piece of lemon to be added to the order.

WONDERFUL food, incredible flavors and authenticity. Fun, relaxed dine-in experience. Owner and staff were super friendly, welcoming, and generous.

The staff was kind and answered my questions thoroughly. Falafel halloimi warp was delicious. I want to eat it again.

Moutaz is always a vibe! The nicest guy in East London. This food establishment epitomises everything I love about East London and Brick Lane. Colourful, characters, community and culture. I regularly come here for lunch and always feel welcomed and at home.

So friendly and lovely environment! Best shawarma I’ve had in years ☺️🤍

The worker claimed to be the owner and the owner claimed to be a worker. Asked us three times on our order. And still messed up our order. Didn't want to give us any salad but threw away two box meals in the bin since it was incorrect. Service left us with a bitter taste in our mouths. Shameful excuse of a restaurant owner.

I ordered the Syrian special with lamb for £14, but I was charged £9 and received it with mixed chicken instead. The meat lacked seasoning, and the only sauce I could taste was chili, with no garlic flavor. It definitely needs improvement.

I am at Damascus Bite now. The ever friendly brother Aiman made my lamb Shawarma and it tasted great! Parves, the other friendly brother from Sylhet, Bangladesh , makes a great Shawarma too. Damascus Bite is a great place!

I asked the waiter if the falafels were homemade. He just told me to try them and tell him if they weren't the best falafels I've had. They were. The falafels and other dishes are topped with a dried berry from Syria and Iraq that gives it a bitter flavor that enhances the dish. On the lamb shawarma, it gave a new level of flavor contrasts.

Very friendly service, great food

Delicious food, forgot to take a photo of it though. Had one of the grilled wraps, highly recommended!

Delicious food, very nice and helpful service. Absolutely recommended! :)

It looks absolutely nothing from the outside and looks like a German kebab shop. Would never have gone in if it hadn't been raining and it was in the immediate vicinity. But then we were pleasantly surprised: authentic, good food, crisp salad, everything fresh and extremely inexpensive for London! The operator/service makes a very serious impression. Absolutely recommended 👍

The food was really nice and worth the price

This restaurant is not a Syrian Indian restaurant and has a Syrian name

I implore you to not go to this place if you’re after good hot food or decent portions as you will not get either at this place. The customer service was just diabolical after service me cold food they told me that it was because I mixed it when I hadn’t. It’s a shame because I root for shops like Damascus but they have forgotten about service and food standards.

The food is reliably great. Service can be a bit slow, but it’s worth it. Friendly staff, too.

It tastes that good because it's made with love. Lovingly prepared, lovingly cooked, lovingly served. Appreciate it.

“I would like to thank the restaurant team for the excellent service and delicious food. It was a really fun and satisfying experience. I look forward to visiting it again soon!”

Very unfriendly service. Sad, really.

How did I miss this place in 29 years ? No Blue Good food, quick and tasty Nice service !

This shop is a classic I always come here for a wrap it's very filling they will always try to take care of you service is very quick the shop is decent in size they are so welcoming and kind trust me this will always be my go to place from now on for wraps they are the best.

Damascus is wonderful little restaurant in the Brickyard district. The staff is warm and friendly. Most customers are locals and native speakers confirmimg the popularity. The lamb shawarma wrap was a burst of flavor with a wonderful sauce, crisp veg, and tasty lamb. It will drip, so please be careful. It was press grilled to crispy perfection.

Yummy food.. you should try the Syrian style shawarma.. very nice staff and reasonable prices.

4th or 5th visit today! always return when i’m not in the mood for a beigel or curry!!!! top quality food with standard London prices. Service is top quality - boss gave us free big salad with our hummus and free sweets with our tea. Portions were massive and full of flavour. £30pp 3 courses + drink.

The place is cute, the boss is super nice and the wraps were delicious! The price is right considering the taste was perfect 😊 Free WIFI !

Came here a on Monday night, the service received by staff was nice very friendly, was little bit pricey but expected for London.. However I loved the fresh juice

As a Lebanese i think i found the best shawarma in London, the atmosphere makes me feel at home the staff is one of a kind. Just wanted to say that if you want to taste an authentic shawarma go there

Food is ok, not enough flavour, big portions. Seating is cramped.

Amazing food at great prices. The service and establishment are definitely "no frills" but the price and the food definitely more than make up for that. No alcohol can be consumed on the premises.

Their service is usually a bit slow but last time I was there I had to wait an hour for 2 shish kebabs in an empty restaurant they’re not busy at all at that time. The food is okay nothing special in my opinion. And there isn’t that much atmosphere to talk about. What saves them from getting 2 stars is that the guy behind the counter was very nice he offered me a taster from a cookie they had on that day and also gave me some to take home for free. Still that doesn’t justify the extremely long wait I had to endure. He blamed it on the grill. Well if the grill is old and barely working buy a new one it’ll make double maybe triple the price you paid for it very quickly as the restaurant will be full of people instead of being always empty as it is now.

Falafel platter is great, Freshly fried. Not so impressed with the merguez. Decorations normal feels a bit dirty, service not so great either

- Food not fresh enough to leave a satisfying impression - Selling expired ayran + lot of choice for food + oriental decoration + friendly service

Ordered Chicken Shawarma wrap to go, left with a smile. The old man serving me is sooo kind and friendly.

We were hungry when we arrived....Best falafel we have had in the UK, washed down with a pot of good mint tea. What a delight! Lovely atmosphere, with friendly team. Thank you for a delicious late lunch. We will be back

Tiny place nearly on the end of Brick Lane with great food. We had some complementary om ali which was really nice. Service isn't anything special but I prefer it that way!

best chicken shawarma on brick lane!

We walked in to Damascus Bite after a short cold stroll around Brick Lane. Have to say I was impressed at how tasty the shawarma was, proper authentic Syrian style shawarma. I tried a mixed shawarma and both the chicken & lamb tasted amazing. The chips were seasoned with a unique Arabic spice blend. The pickles tasted home made, didn’t taste like the store bought jar ones. The tahini sauce it was served with was really nice, sesame tasting and mixed with possibly yogurt or mayo. To top it off, they offered free sweets at the end which was nice. The service was good considering the price and we were served with smiles. Overall a very nice dining experience, will be back to try some more of their dishes.

The test is good but could be better, price is quite expensive comparing to what I paid for precisely the same order in other Syria restaurant in London(at least 5 pounds higher here), the atmosphere is acceptable but not that good. However the staff was so kind and helpful.

At the ER with severe food poisoning. Determined it was their rice since that’s the only food that I ate and my family did not. (Luckily I was the only one to get sick.) Poor food storage. So. Much. Pain.

Our group of 6 called in here for a quick lunch after a busy morning sightseeing in London. We ordered a variety of wraps which were all very tasty. But that wasn’t the end of it - we were treated to complimentary pickles, rice and finally the most delicious baclava-type sweets ….and then some more of them to take away with us! Charming service, excellent value and highly recommended if you’re in the area.

For a Syrian, it wasn't appealing to go in the restaurant. Just the atmosphere didn't look good. Was hoping for more authenticity

Unreal food for a very affordable price, lovely staff, such a nice atmosphere, and in a great location, would absolutely come back again

The shawarma is alright, won’t find something similar in the area. But not as good as some places in Edgware Road. Friendly staff, but the place is very compact and small.

Beautiful and cosy place. The food tastes so good and the people there are very friendly. The interior is also so beautiful.

The best Shawarma wrap what we had. Excellent place, Excellent service Highly recommend to anyone

Very nice wonderful food with very large portions but the seating area was always slipping and falling

Food was 10/10 definitely going back again.

While exploring brick lane randomly bumped in this Syrian authentic restaurant with yummy falafel. After finishing the falafel I realize I forgot to take pictures for me google review page. But it’s worth visiting.

The dinner experience was fabulous. We had the hummus chicken shwarma, a very parsley forward tabbouleh salad, baba ganoush and haloumi cheese. Price, service and flavor amazing. The decor is lovely too, I might change up the lighting a bit to have softer lighting for the dining room. Obviously it's right near Brick Lane so can get noisy on the street. Otherwise was one of my favorite Syrian restaurant experiences.

Amazing food, great value for money, super friendly service.

Just had one of the freshest and tastiest falafel sandwiches I've ever had in my life! Absolutely delicious and highly recommended! As a vegan I also appreciate the attention to detail and the wife selection of vegan options. I will definitely be back!

Everything is perfect about this place. As an Arab, this has some of the best shawerma in London — especially the meat which is very very juicy and rich in flavour. The co-owner Motaz is very generous, friendly, funny and lovely. Highly recommend this place!! An East London gem

Fantastic and authentic Syrian and Lebanese food. Really warm nice service and a cool, cozy atmosphere. We had the Chicken Shawarma Bowl with Rice (amazing rice) as well as the Falafel Platter. Treat yourself to some good food on the lane.

Such great quality food and lovely family feeling, we shared a lamb shish wrap with a salad box with halloumi and falafel, plus a side of hummus plate and everything was delicious! We also topped it all of with a Moroccan tea. Highly recommend to visit and support this local restaurant and its owners!

Delicious wraps & fries, friendly staff, love coming back here

Moutaz and Miah are amazing. It’s by far the best restaurant on Brick Lane. I am from south London and rarely go East London but if I ever do go there I always go here. Authentic and unique experience provided. I recommend coming here if you are ever on brick lane.

Hands down some of the best food I've ever had. Make sure to get a Haloumi wrap with loads of garlic sauce.

best chicken shawarma in London. Very good food and very friendly staff. I will come here again very soon!

A hidden gem. This place doesn't look like much from the outside (or the inside) but the food is so amazing it keeps me coming back.

Delicious mixed vegetable platter! Generous portion and everything tasted really fresh. The chilli sauce was also top notch. My kids also really enjoyed their lamb shawarma. It's right on Brick Lane so roadside might not be best if it's a busy day but it was quite quiet on a Monday lunchtime. Would definitely come again.

Very delicious Syrian food as they always famous for this....Good service ....
