DAMASKO'S Europaplatz — Restaurant in Freiburg im Breisgau

I had the pleasure of dining at DAMASKO’S, and it was truly an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was full of flavor, beautifully prepared, and clearly made with love and tradition.

What made the experience even more special was the outstanding customer service. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. A special thank you to Mohammed, who is part of the third generation running this family restaurant. He was incredibly kind, warm, and attentive—it’s clear he takes great pride in continuing the legacy of this beautiful place.

DAMASKO’S isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a story—a rich history of passion, family, and authenticity. I only wish I had more days to come back and explore more of the menu. If you’re in the area, this is an absolute must-visit.

Highly, highly...

This restaurant was conveniently located right beside the hotel where I was staying so I ended up eating there twice. The first time I had the ground lamb skewer with rice and salad, the second time I had the lamb chops. Honestly speaking, the ground lamb tasted better than the actual lamb chops. I still give this place high marks, it was clean, the service was friendly and the ground lamb skewer tasty. Some reviews stated that the portions were small, but I didn't find that to be the case, and actually couldn't finish meal. I also had this tamarind softdrink, but don't get your hopes up, it doesn't taste anything...

We tried both the regular shawarma and the vegetarian option for dinner. The regular shawarma was delicious, albeit a bit oily. The vegetarian shawarma, made from soya, was also decent. We ordered Ayran, a salty yogurt drink, but it was too watery and served in a 0.33-liter cup instead of the advertised 0.5 cup, which was a bit disappointing. Despite this, the service and atmosphere were good. Overall, I would recommend the place. I've heard particularly positive reviews about the Adana kebab and look forward to trying...
