Beautifully designed kind of restaurant/ coffee/ tea shop.You can walk from the city centre, very close to the bus stations or park with a bit of luck right in front of the restaurant.Good food, lots of options, meat eaters or vegetarians, I am sure that you will find a delicious dish here.The fresh mint tea it is fantastic, I always order two of them.The staff is super friendly and helpful regarding intolerances and dietary restrictions. Cuddos to the team!The seats are a bit uncomfortable for me, but not terrible.I recommend them!

Me and my friend ordered damscena’s breakfast with omelette next to it.Everything was great and the food was very nice and delicious.The vibes were amazing, it felt like we are somewhere else not in Birmingham.We’ve enjoyed everything, highly recommend this breakfast at this branch.

I tell everyone that is going to Birmingham to go to Damascena. I've been so many many times and always come back. The food is absolutely fantastic, and it is one of the few affordable places left to eat. The decor really makes this restaurant stand out. A great selection on the menu and the portion sizes are massive. It'll always fill you up. 10/10. Always has lots of customers.

Came here for a late lunch, on recommend from my boyfriend. We had to wait a little for a seat, but they were toppers, and it was worth it!We weren't sure what to get because everything looked so good, so we sort of made a big platter to share- our waitress was lovely and gave us some recommends- thr food came out pretty quick and was SO GOOD. Defo needed more than 2 flatbreads tho bc the amount of hummus we got was obscene. The falafel were the best I've ever had, I think, no exaggeration! So crispy and full of flavour.We got a tea each and they came with these cool crystallised honey (?) Sticks to sweeten? They were cool, I wanted to chew on it. He got a mango milkshake though which was delicious- I had to order an extra one for myself.We ordered desserts to take away, and wanted to pay at the same time, but we ended up having to wait ages for the bill because each waitress we asked seemed to keep forgetting about us. Ended up having to go up to the counter to pay, after waiting about 10/15mins, hence only 4 stars, but that's ok- they were so busy!The waiting didn't put us off at all- the food was so good and again, the restaurant was so busy, I'd 1000% come back again when I'm in the area. A lovely light lunch option with the option to make heavier. Thank you Damascena!

I visited for a quick dinner whilst in Birmingham with work. Looked quite appealing from the outside but the staff were not attentive and I was ignored when I went in, when I sat down at the table and throughout my meal. My first choice of food wasn't available and I ended up with 2 dishes which were both overdone, especially the bread. I'd paid at the counter when I ordered (as nobody had come to the table) so in the end just got up and left as there were no staff interested.

The staff were very friendly and so kind and helpful. The banana whip milkshake was so nice and refreshing. I had the appetiser which was the hummus which was tasty but I was so full.

Was in Birmingham for the day at a work event and this restaurant was booked for our team lunch. Our event had overrun by more than 30 minutes but they kindly kept the tables for us which was really good to see as we were a big group and it would have been hard to walk in to another restaurant.I ordered a karak milky tea to start and the falafel platter with hummus and flatbread. I really enjoyed the milky tea, the spices added on top of the milk foam really elevated the taste of the tea and made it more appetising. The falafel platter on the other hand was simply average, falafels were small and the hummus was mediocre. I definitely have had much better Middle Eastern food in London. However, I do think for the amount of food they serve the price is certainly very affordable - £12.70 including service charge which was insane! In London this would have cost at least £20.Vibe was chill and had the traditional Middle Eastern patterns of walls and lights everywhere. Staff were friendly and approachable but could tell they were extremely busy that it's sometimes hard to get someone.

This place is really good.We just popped in for a coffee, which was excellent, and found ourselves tempted by a plate of assorted havla (6 pcs for £4.95) it was surprisingly good. Not over-sweet, crunchy and full of flavour.I need to return for more, and to try the delicious looking flatbread based options.
