Restaurant Damas Mainz in Mainz

Thank you thank you thank you, everything is fine and keep it up.

The food in the restaurant is great and the staff are also very polite. I have been here several times and have always been satisfied.

The restaurant had a noticeable musty smell throughout, which really detracted from the overall experience. Even though the ambiance wasn’t bad, the damp odor made it uncomfortable to stay for too long. The food was delayed despite the place not being busy, though the taste was quite good. One major downside was the restroom, located downstairs and only accessible by stairs. It had an unpleasant, strong smell that made using it uncomfortable. While the food was tasty, the persistent bad smells in both the restaurant and restrooms overshadowed the experience. I won't revist the restaurant, and i won't recommend this restaurant. The staff also didn’t seem very friendly, though we didn’t interact much — just my personal impression.

We called and made a reservation, the reservation was confirmed for 8:30 p.m. Then there was the surprise in the suburbs: the restaurant was closed even though the opening hours were until 11 p.m. + we had a reservation, so the evening for us was from 9 p.m. for A... There wasn't even an apology from the lady who happened to be there. The occasion was our wedding anniversary. Thanks Damas 👍, never again.

Einen wunderschönen Abend haben wir verbracht, das Essen schmeckte sehr gut und die Bedienung war nett, ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen. 👍🏻

Very tasty food and shisha also very good. Friendly staff, I can only recommend!

The starters were very tasty. Lots of different things, cold/hot to try and dip. The visit is worth it for that alone! We also really enjoyed the main course (mixed grilled plate).

The restaurant is an optical illusion. The prices are very expensive, the grills were very bad, small and inedible, and the service was also not good. We waited for more than an hour and a half until the order came and the appetizers did not taste good. In general, I do not recommend it at all. There are many better and more delicious restaurants.. I'm all in love with nothing else. They have a lot of good restaurants

We were at Damas Essen on Sunday. The food was very tasty. The chicken is very tender. We'd love to come back.

Food is pricey but tastes nice and not very salty or greasy. Decoration is okay a little bit out dated but no complain.

Very good food, especially the mixed starter platter is recommended. Of course, a very good red wine from Lebanon goes well with it. Gladly again.

We arrived a little late in the evening and unfortunately the kitchen was already closed. Nevertheless, the friendly staff gave us a selection of cold starters that tasted delicious. Price performance appropriate. Gladly again .

Very tasty food and very good service. Recommended!

On a scale of 1-10, a good 11. I really have to say that one of the best restaurants in terms of dishes that I have eaten at is highly recommended. You definitely have to try it

Really great, the food was very tasty and the service was very nice. It is worth it!

Great service, top service and very, very tasty food! Everything was very fresh and prepared to perfection. I can recommend it with a clear conscience! Definitely coming back ☺️

1A loading I always drive an extra 30 minutes to eat well with 1A staff and service. Thumbs up recommended if possible 10/10 stars

Ich muss wirklich sagen, dass eines der besten Restaurants, was die Gerichte betrifft, wo ich gegessen habe, wirklich nur empfehlenswert ist. Man muss es auf jeden Fall mal probiert haben.

We ate there with the family at the weekend and we were very impressed, the food was delicious and everything was fresh. The atmosphere is beautiful and the service is very friendly and accommodating. We'll definitely be back soon. 😃

I would like to give zero stars here but because there is no other option then only one star. A star chef who is then called a refugee chef by his boss is clearly an excuse to get out of it. I was personally called by Chat because he knew full well that his waitress served us a burnt main course even after two hours. Unfortunately we only took a picture of the chop, which didn't show where the bone was and where the meat was. Damas is not a fine restaurant, at just under €500 for 13 people it is a disgrace not to offer decent food.

The food was great! It would just be nice if so much time didn't pass between the starter and the main course. Furthermore, the beer was quite stale and old.

You have to wait a long time, but it's definitely worth it. The food is excellent😃😃

It couldn't be more authentic. Simply TOP.

A very good place for family and friends

As an avid restaurant goer, I recently visited your restaurant and was very disappointed with the service. Our waiter wore an AirPod the whole time and was very rude. Even though we were the first to arrive at the restaurant, we were overlooked for service. After a short while we decided to eat outside. We announced this, but instead of the waiter bringing our food out, I had to pick it up myself. After asking whether I should bring out the food myself, I only received a curt “yes”. So I had to go in and out three times to get our food. I have never experienced anything like this and am very disappointed with this service.

Very tasty food, friendly service, clean toilet, price/performance ratio is right, gladly again

Waited 2.5 hours for food on Saturday, drinks sometimes only came when asked or not at all. But the food was very tasty! Unfortunately, a drafty restaurant. Unfortunately, the toilet in the basement was not clean. A pity.

We went there for dinner today. We sat outside as the weather was good. The food came after about 15 minutes and looked delicious. That's exactly how it tasted. The service was reserved but friendly. We would be happy to go there again.

Were there yesterday with the Schlemmerblock. You get a €10 discount for the matzahs. The menus are not cheap at around 25-30 euros. The starters are great, the main course didn't need it. Service is a bit listless if you don't actively ask if you can get something to drink...

We had the menu with 8 different starters and 3 main courses. Delicious.

Good ambience and delicious food

Good food, nice atmosphere and good service. People like to come here to eat.

One of the best meals I have had in a long time. Service was wonderful. What a pleasant surprise.

We were there on Sunday and ate menu number 6. There are 9 different mezes and 3 different main courses. Everything was very delicious. The service was very quick and the music was very appropriate for the atmosphere. Of course I recommend this restaurant. Bon appetit ✌🏻

Absolutely recommended! Had the menu with 6 starters and 3 main courses. A journey through the typical dishes of the country! An experience! Price performance fits. Anything left over will be packed up! The service excellent! Unfortunately, card payment was not possible due to a defect. The ambience due to the toilets with an adjacent shisha bar...

We had reserved online and received a confirmation, but it was not noted. The waiter was then able to prepare a table for 6 people. Unfortunately, we had wished for a little more oriental spices and warmth. The Tagine Beber, starters and kebab were delicious, but the skewers were unfortunately a bit burnt. But overall all the dishes were delicious.

It was okay. That's it. The service was so-so and the portion size was such that it filled you up, but I can't recommend it for someone who is very hungry. Funny fun fact: when I wanted to pay by card, I was asked to pay with cash. When I then asked for a bill, I was told that I could also pay by card. Questionable method 🤔

The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice. It got very crowded, which raised our expectations of the food. The hummus was delicious. My wife and I would have been equally happy with warm bread. The main courses were OK. The sauces are not particularly refined. It was a shame that the same sauce was used with the falafels and the cauliflower. My lamb skewer was delicious. Overall, we have certainly enjoyed better oriental cuisine. The waitresses were friendly and helpful. However, there were too many guests for two service staff. Guests kept coming to the counter to order or pay because they weren't served at the table. Either the number of guests should be reduced or the number of service staff should be higher. Both would significantly increase the enjoyment of the guest in this restaurant.

We had “steak”. And it just burned down. Tasted like a sneaker

Apparently there is no heating. We were freezing miserably...😐 Food was very tasty, service was great 👍

Great restaurant with delicious food. I recommend

We have eaten at Damas many times and it has always been excellent! Authentic and delicious food, as well as a relaxed atmosphere. If you like Syrian/Arabic food, this is the place for you.

I may be biased here, but in my opinion the price you pay is a lot more than what you get in value. The taste was just okay, the portions were too small for the price, and the waiters were just fine not the friendliest. Plus, there is no card payment here! And when asked why since the place is a bit on the pricey side so they should have card payments, the workers there said it was due to not stable Internet connection.

Syrian-lebanese restaurant with very good middle-eastern food. Great place to share one of the 12 or more item selections on the menu. The drink service is a bit slow, and some items on the drink list aren't actually available. Otherwise, no complaints.

Food is not tasty at all ..not special..so basic plus too expensive for the quantity served. Not recommended!

Delicious food, comfortable atmosphere, and reservations are strongly recommended.

Sehr lecker, mal was anderes, zu empfehlen

☹️Nein , dieses Mal (6. Besuch) war es eine Enttäuschung. Langes Warten auf die Speisekarte obwohl nur 3 Tische besetzt. Bestellung fürs Menü aufgegeben und Warten auf die Getränke, ausgesuchter Flaschenwein nicht vorhanden, Alternative war nicht unser Geschmack. Vorspeisen waren gut, aber das Hauptgericht: mit Verlaub - 3 Sorten Fleisch allenfalls lauwarm, Reis auch und keine Saucen dazu. Bedeutet alles trocken! Gut gewürzt war es, vor allem mit Knoblauch…. Gespräche am 4er Tisch fast unmöglich, extrem laut, mittlerweile voll besetzt und beschallt. Bezahlen war ein Problem, keine Karten. alles bar. Rechnung gabs nur am Bildschirm zu sehen und die stimmte zunächst auch nicht - kann alles vorkommen, aber es war schon seltsam. 👉Wie sich die Zeiten ändern…. Beim allerersten Mal vor 5 Jahren fand ich es: Exzellent, sehr guter Service obwohl bis zum letzten Platz besetzt. Sehr ansprechende Küche - gut erklärt. Trotzdem man muss die Küche lieben. Vorsicht bei scharfen Speisen, die sind auch scharf. Gute Weine und alles zusammen: ein ERLEBNIS. Bitte die Reservierung nicht vergessen!!!

Leckeres Essen, aufmerksame Bedienung. Leider hat es etwas gezogen.

Sehr freundlicher service mit guten Empfehlungen für die Speisen. Und unser Essen war wundervoll !!! Verschiedene vorspeisen, und fleischgerichte gegessen, die sehr gut schmeckten ! Toll gewürzt und frisch! Wir kommen definitiv wieder.

Good food, well cooked grill, friendly staff... nothing to criticize.

Tolles Essen in super Qualität. Große Auswahl und sehr netter Service

Trotz schriftlicher online Reservierungsbestätigung für 6 Personen war der Tisch nicht eingeplant. Wir konnten die Reservierung nachweisen, danach wurde improvisiert. Bestellung für 4 Personen: Mazza Extra Das Fladenbrot war kalt. Die Portionen der Dips waren unserer Meinung nach kleiner als beim letzten Besuch. Die Falafel / Kibbeh Hamid + die Sanbsak waren mir persönlich zu trocken Die warme Hähnchenbrust Spieß war sehr lecker, das Latham Mischui war mir zu trocken, das Kabab war ok. Es gab insgesamt nur eine halbe Tomate/ Zwiebel für alle 4 Personen. Der Service wirkte überfordert. Der Mokka kam nach ewigen Zeiten und hat keinem geschmeckt. Bezahlen am Tisch war nicht möglich, wir wurden zum Tresen gebeten. Wir haben für 2 Personen fast 90€ bezahlt, wir werden erst mal pausieren.

Durch den Schlemmerblock mit Reservierung seit vielen Jahren wieder einmal hierher gekommen. Anfangs etwas irriertiert, da laut Aushang an der Eingangstür zur Zeit durch ein technisches Problem keine Kartenzahlung möglich sein sollte. Das war nach Nachfrage dann doch möglich ( wir wollten schon wegen Bargeldmangels woanders speisen) , aber der Aushang wurde bis zu unseren Verlassen des Restaurants trotzdem nicht abgenommen. Das Ambiente und Decor der Räumlichkeit ist weiterhin nett, die Speisen ( wie immer Geschmackssache) schmeckten uns (es war aber kein AHA Effekt), die Bedienung war... naja... etwas zurückhaltend.

Tolles Restaurant, um authentisch syrisch zu essen! Sehr leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal. Durch den Schlemmerblock kennengelernt und definitiv nicht das letzte Mal dort gewesen. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!:)

War schon zweimal da beim Essen. Und beidesmal wirklich sehr gut. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.

المطعم رائع لكن الطعام لم يعجني مشاوي ابدا غير مرتب في وضع الاطعمة في الصحون ويضعون صلصة بندورة باردة فوق المشاوي واسعار غالية لاتستحق هكذا مشاوي

Sehr freundliches Personal. Das Essen war sehr lecker und auch sehr schnell am Tisch. Leider direkt an der Hauptstraße . Aber Recht gut abgeschottet. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder.

Super, tolles Essen! Wir waren total begeistert! Wir haben zu zweit das Royal Menü bestellt und es war mehr als genug (reicht sicher auch für drei Frauen 😅)! Die Vorspeisen waren alle toll! Das Fleisch ein Traum! Selbst das Kabab war super und ich bin absolut kein Hackfleisch-Fan. Würde das Royal-Menü auf jeden Fall empfehlen, da man so verschiedene Gerichte kosten kann! Am Service kann man arbeiten! Die Damen sind freundlich, allerdings sehr langsam und unaufmerksam! Am Nachbartisch durften wir beobachten dass die Gerichte bei Gruppen komplett unterschiedlich serviert wurden (größerer Zeitabstand dazwischen)! Und auch wir durften fast 40 Minuten auf unsere Getränke warten, obwohl das Lokal nicht voll war! Alles in allem dennoch top und wir kommen wieder! Das essen hat uns einfach überzeugt! 😍 Kurze Info: Wir waren das erste mal syrisch essen und haben keinen Vergleich.

Wir fanden das Essen allgemein, die Auswahl, die Vorspeisen und Hauptgerichte authentisch, lecker und sehr reichlich. Hier stimmt auch das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

Restaurants were closing for the evening and we worried about getting fed at 9:30. Damas was nearly empty, but cheerfully showwed us to a table and provided a surprisingly good mid Eastern meal. The dolmas are to die for and the tangine was quite good. Cous cous was dry but very tasty. The cold draft beer -- even Bitburger-- was a perfect accompaniment.

Am Holzturm gelegen, man kann drinnen und draußen schön sitzen. Die Karte bietet viel Auswahl. Toll sind die gemischten Gerichte, bei denen man die große Vielfalt der Küche probieren kann. Alles war sehr lecker. Ein toller Abend.

الخدمة بطيئة مافي شي زابط غير الكرسون ابن بلدي

Essen gut und interessant, leider nur Barzahlung trotz vorhanden Gerät und Nachfrage...

The food is nice but the service was bad. They just completely forgot one person's meal and didn't notice even when they brought the meal for the other 3 people on the table. I had to ask why that one meal was late, and they just said they forgot it. Also the empty plates of starters were sitting on our table for very long and no one came to take our orders.

Freundlich empfangen worden, nette Bedienung, schöne Plätze im Außenbereich; obwohl die Straßen recht nah sind kein störender Lärm. Die Speisekarte empfand ich als qunübersichtlich, im Internet sieht man, dass die Mezze-Menüs aus Mezze und Hauptgericht(en) bestehen, in der gedruckten Version war das nicht erkennbar. Meine Freundin, die uns eingeladen hatte, hat die Situation geklärt, indem sie bestimmt hat, dass wir alle die Mezze aus dem einen Menü bekommen, aber individuelle Hauptgerichte bestellen. (Wie sich das auf den Preis ausgewirkt hat kann ich nicht sagen - war eingeladen. ) Essen war lecker, ich hätte mir mehr Würze/Schärfe gewünscht, aber das ist vermutlich ein Zugeständnis an den deutschen Gaumen ... Komme wieder und empfehle es.

Das Essen war sehr lecker und geschmacklich gut, der sehr sympathische Service rundete den angenehmen Aufenthalt ab. Wer mal etwas anderes möchte als Döner oder Pizza, ist hier gut aufgehoben. #Pommes

Die Vorspeisenplatte war sehr lecker 😋

Das Essen ist lecker. Service ist top. Wir werden wieder kommen

Delicate, fresh, tasty Syrian/Lebanese food. Good service, lovely atmosphere. It's best to share mezze as there is so much to choose from!

Very good appetizers, main course was very large. Had to take half home.

Super Libanese zu einem vernünftigen Preis. Sämtliche, der verspeisten Vorspeisen, waren köstlich. Besonders das Lammtartar

Waren zu viert am Sonntag Abend da. War super lecker 🤤 Mazza (Vor- und Hauptspeise Teller, sowohl vegetarisch und mit Fleisch) absolut zu empfehlen. Bei 30 Grad deutlich besser verträglich als das deutsche Schnitzel oder ne Pizza 😉 Service war auch sehr gut. Habe am Ende mein Portmonee vergessen und es wohlbehalten 2h spöter wieder abgeholt. Danke ❤️ Wird für mich nicht das letzte mal dort gewesen sein.

Kalte Vorspeisen waren in Ordnung. Hühnchen saftig und zart. Das Lamm - eher ein Hammel der an Altersschwäche gestorben ist - war zäh und nicht eßbar. Service überfordert. Beim Essen stört im Aussenbereich der Shisha Dampf. Insgesamt für das Gebotene deutlich zu teuer. Wir werden nicht nochmal hingehen.

Total unterschätztes Restaurant. Immer wieder dran vorbeigefahren und jetzt endlich ausprobiert. Die Mezze-Platte ist der Hammer!

Nichts Besonderes, nicht günstig. Schönes Ambiente.

Ausgesprochen leckeres Essen (wir hatten die gemischte Vorspeisenplatte für zwei Personen), guter Service, nette Atmosphäre - klare Empfehlung.

Vorzügliches Essen und sehr große Portionen. Personal nett und zuvorkommend. Ambiente angenehm und sehr einladend. Ich werde in Zukunft öfter kommen!

Holder jer langt væk Dårlig service og ejeren er ligeglad med sin restaurant og deres kunder. Vi ringede om dagen og bestilte et bord til om aften for at være sikker på vi har et bord til os da vi havde en køretur på ca 30 min. da vi ankom var personalet ikke informeret om vores reservation og ingen borde var ledig. Vi fik hverken en undskyldning eller noget da personalet prøvede komme i kontakt med ejeren får at få det bekræftet vores reservation lagde han på i hovedt på sin egen medarbejder. Hvis en ejer kan behandle sin egen personale på den måde hvordan behandler han så ikke kunderne. Deler denne uprofessionelle oplevelse så i skal holde jer langt væk fra denne restaurant.. telefon nummeret som man ringer op til er ikke selve resturanten ejeren sidder hjemme og tager reservationer har jeg aldrig set før

Wir durften einen sehr schönen Abend mit 6 Personen erleben. Tolles Essen, netter Service und alles zu einem fairen Preis

We have written rave reviews about the restaurants’ service and food since 2017. We arrived last night with a confirmed reservation and four fellow Canadian travellers, all expecting a great evening of fun, comraderie and excellent Middle Eastern cuisine. Our first clue that things were going to be “off track” was that our reservation was nowhere to be found. A brief chat with the manager/host rectified that and once seated in a comfortable nook were provided with German only menus (English cards no longer available). Drinks and appetizers delivered promptly. Watching new patrons seated, place orders and have food delivered made us wonder why, especially after chatting with the host/manager FIVE times, and waiting approximately 30 minutes to be served lukewarm but tasty main dishes left a lot to be desired. Icing on the cake was to be told that the “credit machine not working all the time” - good thing that we all had cash on hand. Return visit?! Sad to say, once brilliant but won’t return or recommend!

Im ersten Moment ungewöhnlich, und dann dann ungewöhnlich gut. Es war ein Experiment dass sich definitiv gelohnt hat! Geschmacklich außerordentlich gut und unerwartet. We love it

We were here with friends in 2019 and had such a great time that we came back. Service was prompt and very hospitable. As it was a very warm night we sat outdoors on the patio. Suggest booking in advance so you will not be disappointed

Sowohl die Köchin als auch der Mensch der das Essen gebracht hat waren super freundlich und zuvorkommend und das Essen war sehr lecker. Ich kannte das Restaurant bisher nicht und werde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

Nahe der Innenstadt befindet sich dieses syrisch/libanesische Restaurant neben dem Holzturm an der Rheinstrasse. Es gibt einen angenehmen Innenbereich und eine Terrasse, die am Samstagnachmittag ziemlich verwaist wirkt. Weil hier keiner saß, haben wir erstmal nachgefragt ob das Lokal geöffnet ist. Gut, dass wir uns die Leere nicht abgeschreckt hat, denn der Besuch war in jeder Hinsicht positiv! Der Service ist aufmerksam und freundlich, die Speisekarte reichhaltig und die Gerichte köstlich. Empfehlenswert sind vor allem die Vorspeisenplatten zum Teil kombiniert mit Hauptspeisen. Und auch bekommt man etwas für sein Geld geboten! Zu zweit hatten wir echt Probleme aufzuessen...

Sehr lecker und sehr große Portionen. Service sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Vorspeisenplatte absolut empfehlenswert.

Haben uns spontan relativ spät entschieden in MZ essen zu gehen. Freundlicher Empfang, entspannte Atmosphäre. Sehr freundliche Bedienung. 3 essen Lamm Hähnchen Salat alles lecker und ideenreich. Wirklich zu empfehlen

I have travelled to Lebanon and eaten all over the country. Damas’ felt like I was back in a Lebanese restaurant. The Messa was delicious. The service was friendly. Shish Tawouk is my all time favorite dish, and this along with their Thoum was perfect

Our last memory of Damas was enjoying a scrumptious dinner on NYE 2019. Our party of eight were treated royally and we all thoroughly enjoyed every bite of delicious food, attentive service all in an immaculate setting. Covid-29 unfortunately struck and that precluded any future visits to Mainz and Damas until last week when the Canadian government dropped its travel regulation to foreign countries. Damas was on my list and definitely did not disappoint!!!

Amazing restaurant, we had our first mainz culinary experience in Damas Restaurant. Great atmosphere, extreme tasty food, a lot of variety on the manu. The personal extrem friendly.

As New Years Eve was hard to get a booking as we came overseas with friends we found this gem on Trip Advisor. Our party of eight was handled with very professional service in which we followed suggestions for dinner. Food was very tasty and fresh in which I would highly recommend to overs.

Kind service and delicious tastes you must try kibbe hamis and akras nana for starters . Maklubeh is fantastic !!! for desert try mandelpudding :) The reservation must be done .

We happened upon this Lebanese restaurant today. The staff was friendly. The food flavours were amazing.

First time for me in a Syrian Lebanese Restaurant and it surprisingly did not disappoint. Not a place that jumps out at you but locals know it well. Great choice of food from the menu. Staff were really helpful to explain all the dishes. I went with some business colleagues and we had the Mazza Royal, wow, there was so much food and the flavours..... just great. I will definitely visit this restaurant again.

It was a true coincidence to visit this restaurant. We saw it from the car when we were looking for the parking place and we got so curious about this place that we decided to have a dinner here. The food was great. We ordered a menu for two in order to try more dishes as we didn't know Lebanese cuisine. We expected small servings of each, but it was so much food that we were not able to eat it and took quite a lot with us home. Waiters were very friendly and helpful.

This was a surprise: a Syrian Lebanes restaurant. We were impressed with the good choice on the menu. The flatbread was really fresh baked, baked cauliflower (hmmmm), lamb meat - oh mouth watering!

I've never been to Lebanon, so I cannot compare with the real Lebanese cuisine. All I can say is that my dinner here was very good, and will certainly come back in the future. We ordered a couple of mixed platters, they were very good. Be careful, they were also quite copious.

We've visited this place twice and haven't been disappointed in any aspect of it. The service was quick and friendly. The outside seating was comfortable, and the food was great. You can't go wrong with the Mezza!

There have been many restaurants at this location over the years and they have all failed to make the dining room feel cosy. Damas have tried (harder than most) but unfortunately have also failed. The room feels cold and lifeless - not a good start...

We had a very good dinner,it was all very authentic Lebanese food!The eggplant dip,chickpea one...all very good! The thing that was not good at all was the rice...it was fresh but just bolide and smell like rice milk...not good... Service was very good,they gladly gave...
