Gate Of Damascus - El Cajon

Very very delicious. Loved the feel, food, and service. Will be back again.

Was greeted immediately by the owner. He was super friendly and gave us all the information we needed to place our order. It was the first time we had been there so we weren’t sure what to order but all the food looked good. Our actual order included a shawarma meal (chicken on top of rice) and a qwzi (lamb on top of rice with a soup on the side) and a side of salad. Time: we were in and out in between 10-15 minutes. Taste-wise, everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Portions are big, so my shawarma could’ve fed 3-4 people, lamb could’ve fed 2-3 people. Great place and great service from owner Ryan! Thanks!

Horrible customer service it took about 45 minutes for us to get our food, none of the waitresses speak any English. It was hard to order anything without them understanding. Charge us 8 dollars for two fried eggs. Food was tasteless.

I don't know why the reviews are very harsh on this, I thought their chicken shawarma tasted very authentic and was very delicious. The place was nice as well as the service.

To be honest, it was my favorite restaurant and many people came through me, but their treatment of me last time made me decide not to visit it. It is unreasonable to wait more than 25 minutes and no one asks me what to order. Even when I was leaving the restaurant, she told me, “I’m sorry, I’m busy!” The problem is that there is only one customer in the restaurant. The number of waitresses is 2, which means an unconvincing method and reason. I thank the girl who treated her nicely in the morning and explained the problem to her and apologized, but the one who came at lunch time had a bad attitude and said, “Sorry, I’m busy,” as if she was saying, “Go outside.”Ibrahim
