DAMASKO'S Europaplatz in Freiburg im Breisgau

When we came in the meat had just run out and another staff member brought out another meat in a small amount on a skewer, which was probably left over from the day before because when we tasted the meat it smelled like old oil. He carried this meat on a skewer without protective foils down the hall and even past the toilet. Two other guests came in after us, they left after seeing this, we stayed because we were hungry. I still got heartburn and indigestion.

It was really the most disgusting food that i ever tasted

Incredibly delicious pide and super friendly staff

We were really looking forward to visiting Damaskos, but were disappointed. The hummus was spread very thinly on a small dessert plate and they charged 8.50 for it. That was 2 tablespoons at most. The shawarma wasn't bad, but the portion was far too small and was the diameter of an oblong rolled pancake. I know it differently. There, too, there were only 2-3 tablespoons of meat in the shawarma sandwich, and I don't think that's appropriate for the price of €9. The service wasn't friendly. Something positive: the ingredients were fresh. But that's not enough for me to come back.

Super delicious food in a pleasant atmosphere and very friendly service! Highly recommended!

Perfect Syrian food, as well as always nice people. Highly recommend 👍

Expensive non-authentic Arabic food. Lacks the proper essence. Service is bad and prices are so expensive. Much better real Middle Eastern food options in Freiburg. Stay away.

Ordinary taste... The size of the sandwich is small and does not fill you up, and it is expensive... I do not recommend trying it at all 🙏

Unfriendly service, especially the lady who took the cash, the food I ordered 15 minutes ago was still raw and we were poisoned by it

Great offer and delicious food, a little culinary journey to the Orient. We'll be back. Muttabal (aubergine puree) and the hummus special are the highlights for us!

Very nice little restaurant with delicious food and extremely friendly service. Suitable for wheelchairs including toilet. Absolute recommendation!

Substandard food, cold food and shawarma all oil, very long wait 👎🏻 and exaggerated prices. Bottom line is a restaurant that is not recommended.

Absolute MUST. Great ambience and very tasty specialties.

Food is less than normal The prices are very exaggerated compared to the quantity and taste of the food included in the meal Fairly good service But fantastic prices

This restaurant was a good, nice restaurant and the service was very good

Very disappointed the food almost tasted nothing! We order shawarma and mixed grill

Great service and the food is great. Repeat guaranteed :-)

A restaurant that deserves more than five stars. The service is excellent, from the cleanliness of the food and the style of presentation. I wish you good luck and lasting success

Very tasty food, super friendly staff, very nice restaurant, comfortable to sit in, prices absolutely moderate, easy to recommend

The two of us went to the Damaskos restaurant today and had a great experience. The food was super tasty and freshly prepared. Even though the waitress was busy, she was always friendly and attentive. Sometimes you had to wait a little longer, but the pleasant atmosphere and the friendly team made up for it. Particularly positive: Everything was very clean, including the toilets. We would love to come back and can only recommend the restaurant!

I will never visit this shop again, what I experienced there was terrible!!

If you are a fan of grilled meat, you will be delighted to eat here.

Everything here is highly recommended. The food was so good that we forgot to take a photo of it beforehand for the review. The service is extremely friendly. The ambience is tasteful and very clean.

First of all, very expensive for this food and taste was very bad

Better to eat straight from the trash can. It was that unclean.

If it were in my hands, it wouldn't have a star, because you pledge allegiance to your country and your conscience

There are no comments, but they need to change the name. The food is bad. The staff is very bad

Leider sehr sehr unfreundlich und herzlos, das nimmt mir jegliche Freunde am Essen. Das Essen hat mir syrischen Essen rein gar nichts zu tun.

Great food for a reasonable price.

Clean, tasty and friendly staff. Price-performance ratio is good, drinks are a bit expensive compared to the food, €4.20 for a Fritz-Kola. Parking is not possible on site free of charge. But there are enough parking garages. The food itself was very tasty and I will definitely come back on my next visit.

The lamb is a poem! Very high quality freshly prepared food cooked/grilled in a wood oven. Ideal for anyone who wants to think outside the box!!!

¡La comida era genial! Y el servicio increíblemente cálido y maravilloso! Uno de los mejores restaurantes de Friburgo, muy recomendable!

What a wonderful dining experience, this Syrian restaurant. Reviews were good. So off to Damasko. And more than satisfied. Delicious food. We chose the Dimashk Teller for 2 people. A Syrian journey of discovery and highly recommended. The delicious Weiß Burgunder complemented the whole. Recommended.

Sooo delicious there! And the operators really think about sustainability and high-quality food. I really like that. When I eat there I'm in another world! The employees are very nice there!

Hier ist eine vollständige Bewertung, die alle deine Punkte berücksichtigt: --- Leider war unser Besuch sehr enttäuschend. Wir hatten Schawarma mit Süßkartoffeln bestellt, doch weder das Essen noch der Service entsprachen unseren Erwartungen. Das Schawarma-Brot war kaum mit Fleisch belegt – man hatte das Gefühl, nur leeres Brot zu essen. Wenn man Schawarma bestellt, möchte man schließlich Fleisch genießen und nicht nur einen Hauch davon. Zudem waren die „Süßkartoffeln“ keine Süßkartoffeln, sondern einfache Salzkartoffeln, was sehr enttäuschend war. Auch der Service ließ zu wünschen übrig. Das Essen wurde kommentarlos an den Tisch gebracht, ohne ein freundliches Wort oder ein „Guten Appetit“. Es wurde nicht einmal nachgefragt, ob alles in Ordnung ist oder ob das Essen geschmeckt hat. Alles wirkte lieblos und unpersönlich. Insgesamt war es leider ein sehr unbefriedigendes Erlebnis, und es wird definitiv unser letzter Besuch gewesen sein.

Truly delicious food. We would come back, happily! The family that owns this restaurant are very kind as well!

My favorite Syrian in Freiburg! 🇸🇾 Very tasty and authentic food. My personal favorite: Hummus Special 👌🏼 The staff is very friendly and accommodating. One cozy evening we were even brought a chai on the house. I'd love to come back with friends 😊👍🏻

Everything was delicious, we had a great time and would love to come back.

Very poor restaurant with bad service

Hello, I think the food is a 3.5. My plate cost over 20 euros and there were 3 creams/sauces on it that were spread widely. This made the plate appear very large. I had a hair on my plate!!!! But since I was here with friends, I held back from saying anything. The woman who brought us food didn't understand a word of German, which I generally have no problem with, but it would be easy if she just said that she doesn't understand anything instead of simply answering "yes" to a question that simply doesn't fit 🙈 I watched her a little. She had mopped the floor (only with the mop cover without a wand), then she wiped our table, which then had various crumbs on it and stuck to it, and then she also served us food and when I saw the black thing under her nails, I've lost it. Really very unhygienic and overall what you see on Instagram and reality are two different worlds. I would have expected that I would at least be served for a dish that cost over 20 euros. Don't let the Instagram pictures guide you! Best example of “Instagram vs. Reality”😔 I’m unfortunately very disappointed.

For what you get it is very overpriced, the quality is really 2/10 The staff isn't necessarily nice either.

This restaurant is just amazing! The food is delicious, the decoration is wonderful and the service is top. At Damaskos I especially recommend trying the dish “Sharwarma” because it is not available everywhere in Freiburg. The decoration looks exotic thanks to the many plants and the furniture and plates have an elegant style. In addition, the food is prepared and brought to the respective table in just a few minutes. You definitely have to visit this restaurant at least once. It's definitely worth it!

Ein Stern zu geben ist wohl zu viel. Unfreundliche Personal und schlechte Qualität. Nicht zu empfehlen. Restauraunt war ziemlich leer, trotzdem hat die Bestellung über halbe Stunde gedauert. Bei denen behauptet wird ein syrisches Gericht heißt Schawarma angeboten, welche mit syrischem Schawarma nicht zu tun hat , schmickt nach allem außer Schawrma. Für 2 Personen über 30 Euro, paar Stücke Pommes und ein Blatt Salat und 2 Stücke Tomate und ein Scheibe Gurke. Ich habe mich verarscht gefüllt. Null Stern zu vergeben verdient dieses Restaurant .

The pide was half cooked and without the egg even though I had asked for a spinach pide with the egg anyway it was too expensive even though it had no taste and the shawarma pizza was average frankly we looked at the reviews it was well rated I don't know how people live here without taste really very disappointed me who is just passing through on vacation for a few days I don't recommend at all and don't trust the reviews! This is a very expensive restaurant compared to the lower quality of the bland food!

The restaurant was super nice. The food too. Unfortunately shawarma was served with mayo. A good garlic sauce would have been better. Otherwise everything was great.

My experience was very disappointing. The food was very poor and served quite cold which made it difficult to enjoy any of the dishes. Additionally, the service was substandard; the employees were unprofessional and didn't seem to care about customer satisfaction. It took a long time to receive my application and it was not submitted properly. I would not recommend this restaurant at all. There are many other places that offer much better food and more professional service.

The shawarma was bad this time, unfortunately, even though we always eat there and I was rating you 5 stars, but you took away your reputation.

The food was not tasty, the food was cold and the service was poor. I don't recommend it

The restaurant is very clean and the staff is very friendly. The food is very tasty, but the starter tabule is not particularly large and some of the dishes are not cheap. All in all, really recommended.

We love the food and the ambience. The service is also of top quality, just a little slow at times. We think the prices are reasonable. A visit is always planned when we are in Freiburg.

الشاورما مالها فريش ، الخبز بايت و الخضار كمان للأسف مبين كتير بايت و المخلل تقريبا فاسد ما عجبني ابدا الشاورما مالها فريش ، الخبز بايت و الخضار كمان للأسف مبين كتير بايت و المخلل تقريبا فاسد ما عجبني ابدا

WoooW, was für ein phantastisches Essen, mit wunderschönen Kreationen und ausschließlich regionalen sowie Bio-zertifizierten Produkten Der Service ist ebenfalls perfekt und die Sauberkeit im Bereich ist außergewöhnlich!

The cashier was in a bad mood and lacked professionalism from the moment we entered the restaurant until we finished. Despite the poor hospitality and the staff's rude behavior—especially when they rushed us out after eating—the grilled dishes were delicious. However, the shawarma had no flavor at all. The atmosphere in the restaurant was also unpleasant, with flies and bees everywhere, making it unsuitable for dining.

Giving one star is probably too much. Unfriendly staff and poor quality. Not recommendable.

Wir haben Schawarma bestellt leider sehr Fettig , teller und papier waren voll mit Fett am ende . Geschmack so lala. Wir werden nie wieder hin gehen.

This was our third or fourth time at Damaskos and each time we experienced not only warm hospitality but also culinary delights that are truly unique. It would be unfair to give a food recommendation. Everything here probably tastes like something out of the Arabian Nights. The restaurant is only large at second glance. We were given a table in the quiet adjoining room, and the ambience here was also very tasteful. The prices are more than fair for this culinary craftsmanship.

The food looks good, but doesn't taste good. And really overpriced, not worth going

Never again! Unfriendly and doesn't taste good!

Die Bezeichnung "syrische Küche" für dieses Restaurant ist irreführend und verwirrend. Die Gerichte, die hier angeboten werden, weichen stark von der authentischen syrischen Küche ab. Auch die verwendeten Gewürze und das allgemeine Angebot entsprechen nicht dem, was man in einem traditionellen syrischen Restaurant erwarten würde. Die syrische Küche zeichnet sich durch eine Vielzahl von Gewürzen und Aromen aus, die oft in sorgfältig abgestimmten Mischungen verwendet werden. Typische Gerichte wie Kibbeh und Fatteh haben einen unverwechselbaren Geschmack und eine besondere Zubereitungsweise, die in diesem Restaurant nicht erkennbar sind. Makdous sind auch gar nicht auf der Karte. Ein authentisches syrisches Restaurant legt großen Wert auf frische Zutaten und traditionelle Kochtechniken, die von Generation zu Generation weitergegeben werden. Die Gerichte sind oft reich an frischen Kräutern wie Minze und Koriander sowie an Gewürzen wie Zimt, Kardamom und Aleppopfeffer. Außerdem sind Mezze, eine Auswahl an kleinen Vorspeisen, ein zentraler Bestandteil der syrischen Esskultur. All diese charakteristischen Merkmale fehlen jedoch in der Küche dieses Restaurants. Somit kann die Bezeichnung "syrische Küche" hier nicht gerechtfertigt werden, da sowohl die kulinarische Identität als auch die Authentizität der syrischen Esskultur nicht respektiert und repräsentiert werden.

Offers Arabic food as "isra3l1sch". Absolute no-go to go here. And it's overpriced too.

We became aware of Damasko's because of an Instagram post and it was clear that we had to go there and show our solidarity during our visit to Freiburg. Solidarity has never been so delicious! We each had the vegan and non-vegan shawarma plate and we agreed: it was the best we've ever eaten! We took another wrap of it with us on the journey home today and are already looking forward to it. I have no idea how we'll survive without Damasko's until the next time in Freiburg in a year, there's nothing as tasty here in Berlin! Big plus: huge vegan selection, great service, large portions, absolutely fair prices

Unexpectedly good food. Shawarma prepared with great care. Not a busy time when I was there but the service was at a relaxed pace. I hope they don’t forget my coffee next time. 😉

Very tasty, very friendly, good location close to the center, always happy

Very tasty Levante cuisine, super nice boss in service, we ate here 3 times in a week, every time super good

Wahnsinn tolles syrisches Restaurant im Herzen Freiburgs mit tollem Personal, das sehr gastfreundlich ist und sehr leckeres und einzigartiges Essen präsentiert. Absolute Empfehlung!

Nice restaurant with great food in a pleasant atmosphere. Very friendly service.

These days, personal nets and all Atmosphäre. See you later ☘️ The best and most elegant restaurant in Freiburg, which we highly recommend 💙

Wir waren auf dem Rückweg von einer Wanderung in Frankreich und sind beim Zwischenstopp in Freiburg im Damasko's gelandet. Vorspeise Baba Ganoush, Hauptspeise Veganer Teller, Dessert syrisches Pistazieneis. Essen war absolut köstlich, Service total angenehm und freundlich, Interieur stylish und modern. Wir werden definitiv wieder herkommen, wenn wir das nächste Mal in Freiburg sind.

Insanely great Syrian restaurant in the heart of Freiburg with great staff who are very hospitable and present very tasty and unique food. Absolute recommendation!

Etwas teurer als andere Falafel in FR aber auch deutlich besser - die beste Falafel die wir je gegessen haben. Wir kommen definitiv wieder

Very unfriendly, we came from France, wanted to eat Arabic food (since we are Arab ourselves), asked if we could sit in the room where the bar is. But it was rejected on the grounds that we don't drink alcohol and we didn't reserve in advance, while others asked shortly and it was accepted (German ones of course). We found this very discriminatory as a family because of our origins. Not recommended really.

Very nice restaurant you can find Turkish and Syria foods together. Service and the hospitality also perfect. You should try homemade ice-cream.

very nicely designed restaurant with delicious food

Very good food, nice staff and beautiful ambience. (Tip: the big plates are big)

The restaurant is located right in the heart of Freiburg. Despite spontaneously visiting without a reservation, we were assigned a table after a short wait. The hospitality was felt from the start. Since it was our first visit, the dishes were explained to us in detail. The food was delicious and filling. There was even tea and ice cream as a greeting from the kitchen. We can highly recommend the restaurant and will definitely come back.

Great restaurant, we were here with the whole family and everyone is totally satisfied. Gigantic food where you can find something for everyone. Very friendly and fast staff, you can really feel that there is love in the store. I can recommend the restaurant to everyone, whether big or small

Very tasty, huge portion, just a little longer waiting time. But I would love to come back and appreciate the large vegetarian and vegan selection.

We are very enthusiastic about DAMASKO'S. The food was very tasty, especially the mutabbal (eggplant cream) was delicious! The ambience was nice and green with lots of plants and the service was also very attentive. We'd love to come back.

Is this the best shawarma in Freiburg? Apart from this one, I have only tried one other shop, “Open Sesame”. All I can say is that the shawarma plate is way better. Crispy bread and the meat in combination with the sauces was juicy and not at all dry. If you want to eat shawarma, you have to come here! But you should be patient, everything takes a while because of the arrival of guests.

PLEASE AVOID THE RESTAURANT!! It does not behave like a restaurateur on social media, but rather blatantly supports wars abroad (particularly Israel). WE WANT FOOD AND NOT POLITICS!

Brutal shawarma, nice staff and good prices - always happy there!!!

Very good food and very friendly people

Super tasty, great restaurant!!

Perfect evening, super competent service from the boss and the food was so good that it will be repeated soon.

Very tasty food and top service... always happy!

The food is so good, I can't get enough of the hummus!

They support Israel, which is so so nice to see from an Arab restaurant 💖 thank you for supporting the truth 🧡

Köstliches Essen. Gastgeber ist extrem freundlich und setzt sich für Völkerverständigung ein. Unbedingt besuchen!

Eine unglaublich schöne und warme Atmosphäre. Es werden tolle Gerichte überall aus dem mittleren Osten angeboten und mit Liebe zubereitet. Das Paar dem das Restaurant gehört ist unglaublich herzlich und gastfreundlich. Ein schöner Ort und netter friedlicher Laden. Ich freue mich jedes Mal wieder zukommen und bin dem Restaurant sehr sehr dankbar dafür, daß sie ihre Türen für alle offen halten und so weltoffen und tolerant ist. Ganz viel Liebe an Bilal und seine Frau aus Berlin und viel erfolg weiterhin❤

Sehr lecker, sehr gutes Restaurant nur zu empfehlen. Tolle orientalische Küche, sehr divers und offen mit verschiedenen Gerichten aus verschiedenen Küchen wie Syrien, Italien oder Israel. Kein Antisemitismus, sondern pure Koexistenz spürt man hier zwischen Arabern und Juden so wie es sein sollte. 🇸🇾🇮🇱

Authentic! Nice! Yummy! If you're interested in authentic Middle Eastern food you should try this place! They even have Baba Ganoush, which is simply amazing!

Unglaublich leckeres Essen zu erschwinglichen Preisen. Der Laden wird geführt von aufgeklärten Menschen, die alle willkommen heißen und sehr freundlich sind! Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.

Sehr gutes Essen und eine wirklich sehr nette Bedienung. Wir fühlten uns wohl und haben den Abend genossen. Leider waren wir nur kurz in Freiburg, aber wir kommen sicher mal wieder.

Very good food and pleasant, friendly service. We were there for the first but definitely not the last time. We enjoyed both the starter plate and the minced lamb skewers excellently.

I wanted to support them because they are pro Israel and lost all of their Arab customers after they published this, but unfortunately I got severe food poisoning :(

The cuisine of the Levant is a taste experience. Even though similar dishes are known from other countries, Damasko's still has one or two surprises. It's worth a visit.

Super leckere authentische mit liebe ausgewählte Speisen serviert von Menschen mit dem Herz am richtigen Fleck. Ich komme immer wieder gerne hier her.

Obwohl wir keine Reservation hatten, kriegten wir (4 Pesonen) noch einen Tisch. Anfangs war ich etwas skeptisch, da ich noch nie in einem libanesischen (?) Restaurant war. Die freundliche Bedienung und das feines Essen fetten meine Skepsis aber im Nu unter den Tisch. Gerne wieder.

Von außen unscheinbar - aber das Essen! Ein super Mix von allem, was der Nahe Osten zu bieten hat. Über Mittag nur kurz Zeit für Manakish, müssen unbedingt mit mehr Zeit für die Spiesse kommen.

Very good taste 👌 . Super friendly staff ! Hope to come and visit more ! Everything came on time,Hot, tasty and one of the most client friendly places I've been in !
