Was jxx9595 at Damascus Bite a mag?
I picked this spot for lunch, somewhat at random. There are a few tables for eating in, and I was alone and didn't need any fancy service. The host/waiter was friendly and accommodating. I had a wrap that was freshly made, different that I've seen elsewhere (in the US, anyway), and tasty. Chips were average. Nothing gourmet, but a nice mid-east ethnic menu with many things to select from. Not sure that this would be... View all feedback.
What Elizabeth Cunningham dislikes about Damascus Bite:
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. View all feedback.

Been craving have to have a good shawarma since ages and thankfully ran into this great place. Felt like home (UAE) Cravings satisfied Also Thank you for the great service. Service: Dine in Price per person: £1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chicken Shawarma Wrap
We decided to give Damascus Bite a try while visiting Shoreditch, and we’re so glad we did. The food (we shared the hummus and chicken shawarma platter) was phenomenal and also plenty for two. The food was extremely flavorful, and the rice simply blew us away with how deliciously spiced it was. It was as flavorful as biryani rice, which both surprised and impressed us. Don’t sleep on Damascus Bites we’ll be coming by here whenever we are in London again! Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Vegetarian options: They had clearly labeled vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. The food was authentic and delicious. We highly recommend the chicken shawarma platter and loved the friendly and welcoming staff!

The food is decent, lacking in flavor, but the portions are large. The seating is tight.
Ordered Chicken Shawarma wrap to go, left with a smile. The old man serving me is sooo kind and friendly.
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!
The place is cute, the boss is super nice and the Wraps were succulent! The price is correct being given that the taste was perfect free WiFi!
I visited this restaurant on a Monday night and was impressed by the friendly service received from the staff. While the prices were a bit high, which is to be expected in London, I really enjoyed the fresh juice they offered.

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.
The staff were lovely and the food was delicious! The Islamic artwork of the restaurant was beautiful and inspiring. My daughter loved it!

Location: great location right in the heart of brick Lane. Atmosphere: great middle eastern/ Syrian interior design Price: regular london prices we paid around 50p for 2 3 starters and 2 main dishes Food: great hummus and good portions. So come with hunger ; Service: friendly staff however I have seen better Arabic/ Middle Eastern Service.
Excellent little restaurant on Brick Lane. Food was top notch. Service was great. Must try if you’re in the area.
Really lovely place just off brick lane. I trust this place the most in comparison to some of the other shawarma or kebab places in the area. They have hand sanitizer everywhere and the food and veggies look really fresh. Lovely interior inside with the Middle Eastern elements. Got a toasted halloumi wrap. Halloumi was very nice and the veggie fillings inside were good too. Very good and filling. They also ask how spicy you want the wrap. Friendly professional service and they accept card payments! Deffo recommend this!
We had Toasted vegan Falafel wraps, mutabal, chips and mint tea. Friendly and quick service. Wraps and dip were tasty and fresh. Recommend!
Going into this place I wasn't sure what the quality of food would be like. It didn't seem as fancy as the a lot of the food places in the vicinity, however the prices were reasonable so we went in. We were seated and a waiter promptly came and took our order. We ordered the large mixed platter with chips instead of rice. A short while later the food and drinks were set on our table and it looked amazing. However, instead of chips we were served rice. I went to the counter and told the chef and he said he already realised his mistake and the chips we ordered are in the fryer right now and will be with us shortly, rice was complimentary. The food tasted delicious and was done very well. The chef is Syrian and the food tasted very authentic. Good prices, good service and good food, what more could you ask for.
