Restaurante Damasco — Restaurant in Córdoba

Restaurante Damasco, Córdoba, Spain

On our recent trip to Córdoba, we discovered Restaurante Damasco, a hidden treasure offering Middle Eastern cuisine that combines the best of Lebanese and Syrian flavors. Our meal was a culinary journey that left a lasting impression.

We started with the Arayes de Carne y Queso, which were not only beautifully presented but tasted out of this world. The dish balanced seasoned meat and melted cheese in a crispy bread that was simply unforgettable. Next, we indulged in their Hummus, which was velvety smooth, fresh, and paired perfectly with warm pita bread. The highlight, however, was the Kabse with Lamb—tender, flavorful lamb on a bed of fragrant rice, cooked to perfection. Each bite was packed with spices that made the dish rich and satisfying.

Beyond the incredible food, what made our experience truly special was the warm hospitality. The owner welcomed us like family, taking time to share the origins of the dishes and ensuring we felt right at home.

Restaurante Damasco is an absolute must-visit if you’re in Córdoba. From the exquisite flavors to the genuine hospitality, it’s a dining experience that shouldn’t be missed. Highly...

Restaurante Damasco is a true culinary treasure in Córdoba! From the moment we stepped in, we felt warmly welcomed by the owner, a kind and knowledgeable Syrian gentleman from Damascus. His hospitality was unmatched—he took the time to help us navigate the menu and suggested some standout dishes, which turned out to be absolutely perfect.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is fantastic—cool, inviting, and full of charm. It has a wonderful vibe that makes you feel right at home while still offering a unique dining experience.

We started with the hummus, kibbe, and the Alcázar salad, all of which were incredible. The hummus was creamy and flavorful, the kibbe had the perfect texture, and the Alcázar salad was a zesty, refreshing delight.

For the main courses, we shared the arayes and chicken kabse, and both dishes were outstanding. The arayes were perfectly spiced and satisfying, while the chicken kabse stole the show—the rice was bursting with flavor, and every bite was a joy.

The combination of authentic Syrian cuisine, exceptional service, and a great atmosphere makes this a must-visit spot. Tastes like home.

Highly,...

Mejor restaurante de Medio oriente en el que jamás estuve Best Arabic restaurant I've ever been Le meilleur restaurant du Moyen-Orient que j'aie jamais fréquenté

Primera visita a Córdoba en compañía de mi madre. Ambas amamos los sabores de la cocina árabe por lo que solemos frecuentar este tipo de restaurantes, y la puntuación del restaurante me llamó la atención. Cuidado con los errores de trip advisor...llamad siempre para comprobar si está realmente abierto o cerrado, esta vez fue un gran acierto hacerlo. Personal increíblemente agradable y atento. Nos recomendaron el Mutabal, el mejor que he probado jamas, indescriptible. Mi madre pidió Foul Bezzeit, las habas no son mi pasión, pero esa salsa que las acompañaba me pareció espectacular con esa gama de sabores. Mi principal, Kabseh de pollo, carne, super tierna, arroz, sorprende a cada bocado con los aromas de clavo, cardamomo...cada uno diferente al anterior. El zumo de limón y menta, delicioso. Un 10 es una puntuación que se queda corta. Sinceramente, lo mejor que he comido, no exagero...y la comida es mi perdición...adoro comer...

First visit to Cordoba in the company of my mother. We both love the flavours of Arabic cuisine so we frequent this kind of restaurant, and the restaurant's rating caught my attention. Beware of trip advisor errors...always call to check if it's really open or closed, this time it was a great decision to do so. Incredibly friendly and attentive staff. We were recommended the Mutabal, the best I have ever tasted, indescribable. My mother ordered Foul Bezzeit, beans are not my passion, but I found the sauce that accompanied them spectacular with that range of flavours. My main, Chicken Kabseh, meat, super tender, rice, surprises with every bite with the aromas of cloves, cardamom...each one different from the last. The lemon and mint juice, delicious. A 10 is an underscore. Honestly, the best I've ever eaten, no exaggeration...and food is my downfall...I love to eat...

Première visite à Cordoue en compagnie de ma mère. Nous aimons toutes les deux les saveurs de la cuisine arabe, nous fréquentons donc ce genre de restaurants, et la note de ce restaurant a attiré mon attention. Attention aux erreurs de trip advisor...toujours appeler pour vérifier si c'est vraiment ouvert ou fermé, cette fois-ci c'était une bonne décision de le faire. Personnel incroyablement sympathique et attentif. On nous a recommandé le Mutabal, le meilleur que j'ai jamais goûté, indescriptible. Ma mère a commandé des Foul Bezzeit, les haricots ne sont pas ma passion, mais j'ai trouvé la sauce qui les accompagnait spectaculaire avec cette gamme de saveurs. Mon plat principal, le poulet Kabseh, la viande, super tendre, le riz, surprend à chaque bouchée avec les arômes de clous de girofle, de cardamome... tous différents les uns des autres. Le jus de citron et de menthe est délicieux. Un 10 est un soulignement. Honnêtement, le meilleur que j'ai jamais mangé, sans exagération...et la nourriture est mon point...
