About

Tastes of Damascus is a casual Syrian eatery focused on falafel and mezze made with fresh, authentic Middle Eastern flavors; it runs as a social enterprise supporting refugees in Athens. The menu is predominantly vegan apart from a single yogurt sauce, and diners appreciate the outdoor seating in a pleasant park setting—falafel sandwiches with customizable spice levels and rich muhammara are among favorites. Service has fluctuated over time from warm and attentive to occasionally cold, but prices remain very reasonable for quality and portions.
