“In Syrian culture, we can’t make any journey without first planning the food. If you decide to go to the cinema, you plan what you’ll eat. If you plan to visit your mother, you know that you’re going to eat. There’s no going out without eating something.”

-Imad Alarnab



Imad Alarnab was a successful restaurateur in Damascus with three restaurants, plus several juice bars and cafes. In the war, Imad's restaurants were destroyed and he was forced to flee the country in search of safety for his family. Making his way from Lebanon through Europe, Imad shared his skills cooking for other refugees, up to 400 at a time, and found even in the most challenging times, his passion for food and bringing people together to celebrate life was strong.

    Very good service, our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and allergies. However, restaurant was very loud and difficult to hear and talk. Bigger choice of main courses would be nice

    Delicious food and great ambience. Slow roasted lamb shoulder and the zaatar bread is amazing.

    Super friendly staffs and the service was great. Food was also satisfying though it's slightly on the expensive end considering the portion.

    Really enjoyed our meal at Imad's. Food was delicious and served on not so small sharing plates. Service was quick, friendly and efficient. Only drawback is the number of seat/tables in a small space making it quite noisy and sometimes hard to hear those at your table. Would return nonetheless!

    Delicious food, the mezze is fantastic, I’d advise ordering a couple of pitta breads each as the dishes are generous and there’s lots to dip! The main dishes are really fresh and tasty. Our waiter advised us to each get a different dish to share. This was very good advice as all 5 dishes were really good and we ended up sharing them. Our waiter spotted that my wife had opened a birthday card during our meal and bought over a sweet dessert with a lighted candle in it at the end of the meal, which was a very thoughtful touch.

    Situé dans un endroit à la mode, le restaurant est assez bruyant et les tables rapprochées. Dans l’assiette, c’est bon et conforme à ce qu’on attend d’un resto moyen-oriental, sans touche particulière d’originalité, mais c’est frais et copieux.

    Delicious dishes (nothing run of the mill), attentive staff and a lovely evening all in all. Only slight issue was that being Fri night it was super busy, thus super noisy! I think maybe the background music was not needed. Can't wait to return for breakfast!
