“Best spinach pie in NEO. Truly exceptional; fresh and heavy with spinach. An exceptional value at $4. The zatar bread is also excellent. I’m grateful for the plant based options.“

“Good food and service! Thanks Adele!“

“Ummmmm, what?!?! This place is incredible. And the service from the girl at the register was kind and fast! I’m sitting here eating this and I can’t believe how good it is. Thank you for such a good experience. I got the chicken shawarma platter and fattoush.“

“We had a great experience at Damascus Gate! We tried the burger, cheeseburger, fries, and chicken with rice — and everything was delicious. The portions were huge, fresh, and the presentation was clean and neat.
The place itself felt very clean, and the staff was incredibly polite and welcoming. You can really tell they care about the customer experience.
Definitely recommend if you’re in the area and craving some Middle Eastern comfort food. We left full and happy!“

“Delicious and very affordable lunch option in the 5th street arcades. The building is a bit depressing these days on the inside, but the food and service are ultimately what matters and neither disappoints. The lamb in the lamb wrap was perfectly cooked when I got it. Highly recommend for a quick and cheap lunch.“

“I’m eating a chicken shawarma right now and it is EXCELLENT!“

“Friends brought tubs of beet as well as turmeric hummus to a party. They had such a great texture and flavor, I could not stop eating it, and the colors were so bright and vibrant. I said we needed to go get some of our own. So the next day we went to the market and found Jacob’s and got two different types and they were delicious as well. Shout out to the dill pickle hummus. It’s going on my most favorite eats list.“

“This is arguably the best shawarma spot in Greater Cleveland. The flavors are perfectly balanced with just the right blend of spices, and the dish is never overly greasy. The meat shawarma stands out as especially delicious, while the garlic sauce truly sets this place apart—it’s always fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor, never tasting stale. The service is outstanding—exceptionally friendly and reasonably fast. Overall, I’m thoroughly impressed with this establishment!“

“Great brunch and Middle-Eastern food. Awesome, friendly staff.“

“We really enjoyed eating here while traveling from out of town. We stayed a little longer on Monday just to try here (they were unfortunately closed on weekend). Wish we could have tried more of the menu, but what we did eat was delicious. Well kept, clean, great food-at good prices. Keep up this great business!!“

“Great food and a good variety on their menu. The atmosphere is unique and the people that work at the Westgate store are wonderful. Definitely going back there again!!“

“Highly recommend! The customer service is fantastic! We had the falafel appetizer, Aladdin's Favorite Combo and Mediterranean Lamb Plate. Everything was fresh and delicious. The hot mint tea was very tasty. We returned the next day for a couple slices of their delicious desserts too!“

“Falafel was top notch! 👌 Exquisite! 10/10 recommend! Our server was so kind and helpful and the atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming. Couscous tasted delicious, lamb was good, no complaints. All around great first experience. Will definitely be back. Thank you.“

“I don’t usually write reviews, but I just had to for this place! The shisha café was amazing, and the staff made it even better. Molly helped me pick a flavor – strawberry with lemon mint – and it was honestly a fantastic choice, exactly what I was looking for. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the shisha was top-notch. Highly recommended!“

“We love Nate’s! We haven’t tried too many items yet because we just love the gyros and spinach pies! And the baklava is so fresh!😋“
