Damascus Chef

 

 

Not only are we part of the rare few that use organic (& halal meat), cook our baba ganoush on real wood and hand strain our own lebneh; but we also juxtaposition rural and urban Syrian ingredients in a completely original way. This reflects Abdullah's upbringing in a Bedouin farming village and his knowledge of Damascus' Ottoman-inspired cuisine and lays waste to the idea that Syrian cuisine isn't innovative or stray from tradition.

 

We always strive to create immersive experiences for our guests by linking our dishes up with stories, folklore and modern culture that gave rise to them. We see the act of eating as an experience in itself, and the need to revive and celebrate (yep, we prefer those words to "preserve")
