We've been going to Damas for several years and without a doubt it is our favourite haunt. There are numerous aspects which continue to infuse our fondness, including: To start, the food is superb. We have our favourite dishes which we tend to stick to and which have never failed to disappoint - always flavorsome and satisfying. Many of our friends have dabbled with the other dishes, such as the meats menu, and by all accounts they were very content with some even turning into now regulars; Secondly, the welcome. Fadi and co. have always been so warm and friendly. We have shared many stories and discussions over the years which adds to the atmosphere, the fitting in, the warm hospitality. This personal dimension to, and investment in, the experience is so tangible, palpable, and significant, evident in the overall investment, not only in the food, but in the atmosphere, the decor, and the general environ. I believe Fadi did all the art work and design which is impressive in itself; Thirdly, the relaxed mode. We have always just felt relaxed here. I think this commenced with the possibility to bring one's own wine or beer, but has become much more than this. I would say the music is also a contributor - the eclectic array of Middle Eastern music is always intriguing. Fourthly, we've held a few parties here, e.g., 40th. Fadi has always gone above and beyond the call of duty to ensure these have gone swimmingly. There is ample space, including upstairs which Fadi has always made available to accommodate our guests. We'll certainly be taking advantage of the upstairs open spaces when things return to 'normal'. Finally, I think it is the simplicity which matters most. There is nothing extravagant, no bells and whistles nor any pretentions. This suits us...

I'd have lived to have been there with a few more tables filled. Food was tasty and portion sizes standard to large. I had chicken with yoghurt and almonds which was tasty. Food was pipping hot and you could see the chef cooking. Card machine was broken so had to leave to get cash at the end of the meal - I'd have liked to have been told this on arrival. A little disappointedwwith the fresh mint tea, had mint but very little tea or the waitress forgot to add the tea - these were the minor things which would have improved my visit. I'd definitely return. Also judging by the no. of Deliveroo collections, this is a...
Read moreUpdate from previous review. Damas must serve the best Lebanese and Mediterranean food in Liverpool, always tasty, piping hot and great value. We try to visit every week. ..... My previous review .... Yet another take-away meal from Damas Renshaw Street, Liverpool. This place is a gem. Meals delicious as usual and great value for money. After sampling many different dishes, my usual order is now Shish Tauok with rice, Hummus and just one portion of Baklava.. even driving home the food is always hot and so good. I can honestly state that we’ve never had a bad meal. Can’t wait to visit the restaurant...
