About

Damascena pairs Syrian and wider Middle Eastern dishes with a coffee-house front and a quieter dining room at the back; reviews repeatedly praise the falafel, fuul, hummus and mushroom kibbeh. Vegan choices are clearly marked, and several dishes can be adapted, though one delivery review reported egg in a dish ordered as vegan, so check modified orders carefully.
