Damascus Bread & Pastry Shop

fantastic dolmas (grape leaves). thank you!

The BEST hummus in NYC!!! The people who work here are so nice too.

I can’t believe this place flew under my radar till today. Incredible falafel sando, maybe the best I’ve had in NYC? Cheap too. I just asked for everything. Also very charming shop.
Try for yourself!

It's legit (from my limited experience) in the breadth of its selection and the service that matches

The manakeesh on the counter was frozen and defrosting. The pistachio cookies were fairly fresh but the walnut and date cookies were stale. The falafel was certainly fried the day before. The zaatar was fresh and flavorful. The bread was fresh as was the owner behind the counter.

Top notch spot! Great spinach pie and ma3moul with dates. Tony was also very welcoming and provided great service

Mixed experience. The lamb pita and spinach potato pita were delicious but the chicken samosa was super dry and bland. The bulgur wheat with tomato was tasteless and olive spread had a spice that clashed with the olive flavor; pita in a bag was tasteless and a bit stale

Good wholesome food for reasonable prices! Highly recommend! Falafel sandwich is a must get!

I love Damascus! Prices are awesome and in-house food is delicious. The kibbee is good and reminds me of so many family meals. Great selection of middle eastern pickles and cooking ingredients.

The pastries, both savory and sweet, are absolutely delicious. Particularly noticed how the baklava manages to be coated in honey without making the sweetness overpowering. On top of that, the person behind the counter was so kind and provided a recommendation as it was our first time in. Overall an amazing neighborhood spot that still fully welcomes newcomers, and some of the best pastries you’ll find anywhere. Not to mention truly shockingly affordable (we paid $11 for two savory and two sweet treats). Highly recommend to all.
