“ We travelled from Vancouver to Salem yesterday to try Damascus Kitchen. It surpassed my expectations, and I was thrilled with the authentic food and the original taste of everything. The cleanliness, the taste, the service, the atmosphere, the coziness of the place, all were 10/10. I recommend give them a try. They have just started two months ago. This is an amazing start up. ”
“ Damascus Kitchen was an excellent experience. Got the Greek salad and chicken plate. Friendly family runs it. Recommend! ”
“ Holy yum. Omg. Literally DELICIOUS! I will be bringing everybody I know here. 1000% worth the price and your tastebuds will thank you. Seriously some of the best food I’ve had while eating out. I said mmmm or yum every single bite. ”
“ I've had this craving for Middle Eastern food for the past week and Damascus Kitchen did not disappoint! I ordered a Damascus Chicken - generous helping of chicken and that soft pita! It came nicely wrapped in a folded paper plate so you could open it up and hold the sandwich better when eating it. My husband got a lamb wrap. He loves it!! It looks great too, and the sandwich is grilled on the outside. We also ordered a portion of chicken plate to-go for the next day. The owners are generous; we were still tucking into our food when the lady owner came to our table with a plate of freshly-cooked falafel! *drools* And later, the gentleman owner poured us little cups of hot tea. My lucky day, praise to God! If you're ever at Fork Forty, and you cannot decide what to have, either of the above will not disappoint you. My only regret was not packing away some baklavas. But hey, I will be back! ”
“ Had lunch here with my Aunt on our way to the Tulip Festival. I ordered the lamb schwarma and mint tea. Both were delicious! Auntie had a gyro sandwich and only complaint was that she needed way more napkins due to the sauce and yummy moist lamb pieces. Oh and the rice was great too. Will definitely be back to try some of the other items on their menu. ”
“ Food was amazing and portion sizes were fantastic. Highly recommend! ”
“ I eat a lot of different Middle Eastern cuisines and this is right up there with some of the best I’ve ever had. I would eat here again and again. The family that runs it is so friendly and attentive. They know their business. ”
“ My husband and I stopped in here for lunch and had the chicken shawarma wrap, the triple meat plate and lamb sambosas which came with homemade hummus and homemade tzatziki. Everything was fresh, authentic, so delicious and generous portions. We absolutely loved the rice that came with the meat plate too! Friendly family running the counter and kitchen. We were so excited about the food we forgot to take a picture to share. We will be back! ”
