First of all, Al Sumac Al Shami restaurant has only one small dining room with only two small tables…

…but we won’t apologize about this – it is super clean, cozy, lovely, and the food is fantastic!

Chef Dema is the energy behind the stove.

She is a professional Chef graduate, so already that puts her ahead of 95% of other “restaurants”.

Then, she has passion. This restaurant is her dream, and she puts 100% into it, presenting to your palate the culinary traditions of Damascus – Damascene soul food, she calls it.

The results speak for themselves.

Have a good look at this chicken wrap. The taste? Incredible. This could be on Master Chef, truly.

Please see the detail of the perfect crispiness:

Indeed it is not the size of the place, but the size of the heart.

Every plate, every dish – fabulous.

You see, as expats here we hardly get to eat real homemade Arabic food, unless we’re invited into a family home – all the commercial hummous, tabouli, mixed grills…they mostly taste the same.

Well, try Al Sumac Al Shami’s and you will never look back!
