Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Dublin! The flavour of the food, the music and the exotic decoration makes you travel to Syria and makes you forget you're still in Dublin! What an experience! Will definately be back!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Damascus Gate Restaurant, and I must say, it was a truly exceptional experience. The restaurant's warm and inviting ambiance created a comfortable setting for a delightful evening. The attentive staff made me feel like a valued guest,...offering recommendations and answering all my questions. The food was outstanding, with a wide selection of authentic Middle Eastern dishes that were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. From the fragrant and flavorful hummus to the perfectly cooked lamb kebabs, every bite was a taste sensation. The ingredients were fresh, and the dishes were expertly prepared, showcasing the chef's skill and passion for creating exquisite flavors.More

The owner here (an older man) was very rude and not helpful at all when we came. Multiply times was rude to us and was horrible so ignorant. Didn’t order food we left as he put us off. Never visit again

My sister and husband had been here before so we decided to try it. We weren't sure on what to order so we went purely by the owners recommendations and we weren't disappointed.

The appetizer platter was amazing. We had two entrées, the kibbeh and the lamb stew, which were flavorful and rich with authentic spices - truly remarkable! The portions were generous, and we loved our dinner. Emilio took great care of us. Our family is of...Syrian heritage , and this food was better than mom makes, (but don’t tell her.) Highly recommended, with love from Texas.More

The food was amazing, great options for vegetarians. We had the Jerusalem Meze to start and Mousakka and Loubieh B’zeit as our mains. I would definitely order again, they all tasted amazing. The cherry on top; Emilio who hosted us for the evening was incredibly...friendly and funny. He also speaks many languages which was really nice as our friend was French. He made the evening extra enjoyable. Thank you Emilio 🙏😊More

We had never tried Lebanese food, so thought we’d give it a go as it was only a few doors down from our hotel. Found it to be very similar to Indian food, but less spicy and more use fruit (e.g., eggplant) and vegetables (e.g.,...carrots). I really love Indian food, but honestly found there was a little bit more creativity to their dishes.More

The restaurant room is rather small, and together with the well-made decor it makes you forget you're in Dublin. Manager and waiters are always at hand and willing to explain in details the intricacies of Syrian fare to Irish diners and to advise on the...best choices to make, without pushing for the most elaborate/complex/pricy items on the menu. Starter mezze got the dinner going, and main dishes suitably satisfied everyone, being flavoursome, fragrant ans well cooked without being overpowering. An excellent night out with great food, all reasonably priced and served by pleasant and knowledgeable staff, most of whom actually come from the Levant, adding an extra touch of actual knowledge of the various recipes.More
