Damascus, located at 195 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11201, is a hidden gem for those craving authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. Their menu boasts a variety of dishes, but one item stands out: the meat cone.

The meat cone, also known as the Lamb and Cheese Bourek, is a must-try. It consists of ground curry lamb stuffed into phyllo dough and deep fried, offering a crispy and flavorful experience. Additionally, their falafel sandwiches are highly recommended by visitors, and their hummus and dips provide authentic Middle Eastern flavors. For those with a sweet tooth, their baklava and pastries offer a variety of sweet and savory options.

Our Verdict

Damascus Bread & Pastry Shop is a must-visit for food enthusiasts seeking authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. The meat cone, falafel sandwiches, and hummus and dips are standout dishes that offer a flavorful and satisfying experience. However, the hours of operation are not clearly specified, and reheating items can make them soft and not crispy.
