Food Quality and Taste
Pros:
"Every dish that we ordered here starting from the complimentary lentil soup to their special shawarma and mixed grill were very wholesome and flavorful."
"The mixed starter was clean, fresh and hearty."
"The food is absolutely wonderful no matter what time you go in."
"The only disadvantage of this restaurant is the lack of a dessert menu."
"The Lebanese cuisine was delicious, a large selection of choices were available, suitable even for the fussiest of eaters."
"This is by far, the most authentic Labanese Rest. In and around Glasgow."
"The best hummus in Glasgow. My husband thought he didn’t like hummus until he tried Damasqino’s."
"Really really good food. We ordered the damasqino mixed grill for the table and a few other plates."
Cons:
"Food was okay but cold! this is not the first time i been to Damasqino and food always served coold, from the soup to the grilled always cold."
"My kebab wrap came and it looked miserable. It was not like the adana kebab I am used to from many shwarma restaurants."
"Can of coke was dumped on the table - no glass, no ice and the tea was plain old tea which tasted like it was stewing all day."
"The only thing i would have liked is for the bata hara to have more flavour/spice."
"Food quality mediocre. Service poor."
"Cold soggy food and very small portions for the price ordered for 5 people today and all said the same thing."
"It used to be a good restaurant, but it becomes rubbish eventually."
"Unfortunately, my last three visits to this restaurant was just a disappointment... Food was reheated, kebbah was old, cold, and over fried."
Service Quality
Pros:
"The service was quick too! I highly recommend this place."
"Enjoyable experience, friendly staff with great Syrian food."
"Cherry on top is the hygiene and professionalism I've seen from everyone working there."
"The staff were friendly and the dining area is small yet tastefully done."
"The staff is lovely, and you can really tell the passion that goes into the food."
"The staff are very kind. Very good experience."
"The customer service by the waiter was so nice and the food was yummy from the starter to the end of the course all tasty and so worth for the price."
"Amazing service and the food is incredible. It also came out super quick and they surprised us with a fabulous lentil soup starter."
Cons:
"Sat down to catch up with friend. Barely sat down for long and the waiter asked if I am ready to order, my menu was still closed."
"It took them 45 min to make the falafel, although the restaurant was empty."
"My visit to Demosqino Restaurant was so negatively impacted by the service that I felt compelled to cancel my order."
"The staff's rudeness and unresponsiveness were not only off-putting but also created a deeply unwelcoming atmosphere."
"I had two exercises the dining in and ordering online… The first exercise was good but when I order online I received oily sharma with heavy garlic sauce, it’s not good at all."
"I got food which I ordered with hair in it. I gave it back got apologies and another portion again with hair in it."
"Food was average. Service was really slow. Eventually two mains arrived before the starters, another ten minutes before the rest of the food arrived."
"Our meal didn't come out at the same time - there was a 20 minute delay between my sister's main (chicken shawarma wrap) and mine (chicken shawarma plate)."
Ambiance and Location
Pros:
"Unpretentious and authentic Lebanese/Syrian food."
"Nice wee restaurant right between Tollbooth and Glasgow Green."

"Authentic Lebanese & Syrian food - up there with the best Lebanese food available anywhere."

"Great prices, and portions. The meat is so flavourful, juicy and tender."
Cons:
"Parking is difficult."
"Place has gone down hill .. Unfriendly terrible service No coffee no milk no lamb."
"The only thing I hate there that 'sometimes' it takes long to have what you ordered when 'setting in'."
"Tables are so tightly jammed in that we had to squeeze past breathing in and once sat down we were stuck."
"Being honest I did not eat I gave an average 3 star on the food as it looked and smelled good but unfortunately bcoz I was unable to try it."
"I went to this restaurant on Saturday and not even mentioning mess in bathrooms I got food which I ordered with hair in it."
"The food was amazing but I'm giving it 2 star because of the environment and the atmosphere that either owner or the managers created inside the restaurant."
"I've been a few times since its opened. They're still finding their feet a bit, so things change a little from 1 visit to the next."
