The 34 Best Athens Restaurants - Eater

"The namesake tastes of Damascus are not only delicious; they also support asylum-seekers and refugees living in Athens. Started as a project by NGO Za’atar — which focuses on providing resources and local connections to women, unaccompanied minors, LGBTQ refugees, and prisoners — the Syrian and Middle Eastern restaurant is slowly attracting more diners with its falafel, tabbouleh, and Beyrouti hummus with parsley. One recent favorite is mouhalabe, Syrian milk pudding with coconut, orange blossom water, pistachio, and rose. [$]" - Demetrios Ioannou

Delicous place! Perfect option for non animal eaters (Vegeterians). Affordable? Yes!!!! You can easily eat with less than 5 euros. But if you like to have appetizers, entry, and desserts, you will not pay more than 20 euros. Food? Great flavors on the falafel sandwich. I ordered the cheese balls and they were delicous but too heavy for one person to eat ( in my opinion). They are greater if shared. Atmosphere? Right on the sidewalk of a very local neighborhood! I am highly recommending this place. Especially because they love animals as much as I do. Ahh, and their left overs are donated, and they are enviromental friendly! What else can you ask for? Keep up the great job!

Really lovely restaurant with good dining experience. The staff are lovely and they give a free bottle of water which was great on a hot day. We ordered falafel and it's milder on the spice compared to others, you can really taste the chickpea. The pickles were also amazing! Dessert is delicious the white one like a jelly and the brown one a thick syrup style so very sweet. Would definitely recommend.

Taste of Damascus is an eco-friendly restaurant serving healthy vegetarian Middle Eastern cuisine and offering training and job opportunities to asylum-seekers and refugees. After completing the restaurant training course, students are invited to apply to work at Taste of Damascus. There they receive support to complete the paperwork that is required to hire them. This incentive is created by Za’atar NGO non-profit organization dedicated to helping refugees in Greece. The food at the Taste of Damascus was so delicious, everything we tried was made fresh and beautifully presented. We ordered falafel plate paired with mezzés (hummus, moutabal/aubergine dip, muhammara/spicy dip). We also ordered fatteh. Fatteh is a dish made with crispy bread topped with chickpeas, tahini, yoghurt, lemon and cumin, it is served warm. The restaurant service was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed and cosy. Highly recommend.

Beautiful family and story behind this restaurant. The atmosphere and the store looks and is pleasing. I enjoyed my lunch here and had good service. You can tell the quality in the food and the love 🙌🏽.

we come here regularly and love the food usually, but this time the shamsy salad was inedible, felt like drinking a lemon juice spiked with salt. way too salty, way too lemony, and we LOVE salt and lemon🥲🥲not much response from the waitress when I addressed this, dissappointing.

A very quaint and peaceful place with a great vibe! It is the best falafel of Kipseli as far as I am concerned! The taboulé though is the best in Athens!!! (Also, this place is the best food option in the area!!!)

Fresh, light, delicious falafel. I got the platter and it was an excellent choice. One of the best falafels I have had in ages. Recommend!

Oh my goodness... I never leave reviews and certainly not in the middle of eating but YOU NEED TO COME AND EAT HERE!!! Best hummus I've ever had, best falafel hot out of the fryer, in a gorgeous park with a kind and attentive server. This place is amazing! The muhammara is certainly not for the faint of heart tho, wimps like me be warned and fans of spicy food rejoice! 😆
