this is some of the best authentic Mediterranean food in Glendora. I ordered the beef shawarma and chicken kabob plate with seasoned rice, fresh Mediterranean salad, warm pita bread, and their garlic sauce and hummus. Everything was bomb, flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The beef shawarma was tender and packed flavor, the chicken kabob was juicy with the perfect char, and the garlic sauce took everything to another level. What impressed me just as much as the food was the service. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative of their customers. We need to do a better job supporting small businesses like this. Get out of your routine, skip the chains for a night, and go experience some of the best authentic Mediterranean food Glendora has to offer. Thank me later. #GlendoraEats #SupportLocal #MediterraneanFood #BeefShawarma read more

This food was delicious! I got the half and half shwarma plate and it was great. The chicken pieces were juicy and some parts had a really nice crispy outside. I really liked the biwaz, which was a side made of parsley, onions, sumac, and pomegranate dressing. It was a nice herby accompaniment to my dish. Minus one point just becuase there's no bathroom available to use for dining in. I would recommend this place as a take-out option. read more

OPEN UNTIL 11PM!!! If you come home late and don't know what to do but also don't want to get in n out or some fast food... THIS IS THE SPOT! The employee (owner maybe?) who helped us explained thoroughly about the menu and gave us suggestions. We ended up getting chicken shawarma combo and beef shawarma combo because we were hungry but the portion is humongous!!! This place has a shred style of meat (like al pastor in taco stand) and that's what I got but they should have the grilled meat on a sword looking stainless tool. The beef had the slight lamb-ish flavor which I like and the garlic spread wasn't too strong so I could smother everywhere. The salad was also very very good. I want to learn how to make the dressing. It was insanely good. The restaurant has a small eat in space. 3-4 two persons tables. We took our foods home but if you were to eat inside your food will be served on a wooden tray. I'll be coming back for their Borek and sandwich. read more

Really friendly owner who took the time to walk us through the menu and gave us great recommendations. We ordered the chicken and beef shawarma along with the beef kabob plate, and everything was flavorful, tender, and delicious. It's a small restaurant with just a couple of tables inside and a few outside, giving it a cozy, casual feel. We'll definitely be back for both the amazing food and the warm, welcoming service! read more

I'm moving away from Azusa so I'm a little emotional. Damasquino has been a staple in our household since it opened. I always get the beef shawarma plate with rice, hummus, salad and garlic sauce on the side. Their fried chicken is also delicious. We will miss the food but we will definitely be back lol read more

They were Very friendly and had flavorful juicy chicken kabobs will definitely be back! We would totally recommend!

Visited here after visiting a nearby thrift store on a Friday night. We were instantly greeted by Hossam, and his warm and inviting smile. This was our first time here as we never really visit this area. The recommendations of the half & half plate was perfect, and exactly what my fiance and I needed after a long Christmas season. The fresh cucumber tomato salad and chicken were the absolute stars of the show. Such incredible flavors packed into each bite. Moreover, the fries were crispy and not overly oils as what tends to happen with longer French fry baskets. Hossam checked in on us throughout our dining experience and really made the quaint space such a warm environment to share a meal in. Highly reccomend! read more

Finally had dinner here...perfect for carry out or if you are planning a dinner party. Just three tables inside. I ate dinner inside...as I didn't want to bring home the food and have to share...lol The menu is set for lunch or dinner with great selections from sandwiches to combo meals. I had the chicken and lamb shawarma combo, comes on a huge bed of delicious rice. You add two sides...hummus and salad was my selection. The food is sooooo good! This family run business has that wonderful care environment and desire to please...so much food. I will for sure come back again...I want to try the steak. read more

Damasquino - Chicken Shawarma Salad - Middle Eastern Near Me - Glendora, California

This is a hole in the wall with limited seating. I picked up my order to go and the food was on point. We ordered half chicken meal and half and half shawarma, both meals were so good with large portions. Recommend. read more

DISAPPOINTED. Owner was not accommodating as some reviews mentioned. I asked if the bread can be warmed up, he immediately said "I cannot." The beef needs seasoning and sides are nothing of extraordinary. I was the only one there. Only good food attract customers. Bad food and bad service will only lead to empty restaurant. Will not come back read more

Pretty good chicken shawarma. I would come back. Met the owners wife she had me taste the hummus and I would definitely get it next time. All the ingredients are fresh. read more

We've ordered dinner from here a few times now, and at this point it's in our regular rotation. This is very much a mom-and-pop spot, and the food absolutely reflects that. We usually order a couple of the combo plates to feed the family, and every time it hits. The flavors are bold, comforting, and feel homemade in the best way. My go-to is the Chicken Shawarma Plate. It's consistently delicious, well-seasoned, and generously portioned. They have some really notable fry options that are way better than you'd expect. Service has been friendly and straightforward, which fits the no-frills, neighborhood vibe perfectly. You're here for the food, and they do not disappoint. We'll 100% keep coming back. I'm curious to try the broasted chicken again since my husband loved it, but realistically... I'm probably ordering the chicken shawarma every time because it's just that good. read more

I got the half and half shawarma plate, and my girlfriend got the chicken kabob plate. Portions were more than enough! The owner was extremely kind and described in detail all of the sauces shown. The sesame sauce along with the beef was my favorite. Will definitely be coming again. Please support local businesses and come try this amazing food! read more

This place is still amazing! I've also tried the chicken kabob plate, and it was delicious! The owner goes above and beyond to ensure excellent customer service. I highly recommend this place! While I don't want to diminish the quality of other Mediterranean restaurants in the area, in my opinion, this one is the best. read more

Stopped by Damasquino's on a whim after a long day of hiking and it hit so good. We had the beef shawarma "sandwich" (get it spicy), that's really a wrap and it was grilled to get it nice and hot. The flavors of the beef and its juices, mixed with the spicy sauce makes my mouth water just writing this. It was so delicious. And the chef was so kind and generous. I'll be back for sure. read more

Damasquino - My hiking buddies, the chef and the best shawarma around! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Glendora, California

Absolutely one of the best Mediterranean spots around! Damasquino is a true hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the care, pride, and authenticity behind everything they do. The food is outstanding. The shawarma is incredibly juicy and flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and carved fresh. The hummus is silky smooth, rich, and balanced--easily one of the best I've had. The falafel is crisp on the outside, tender inside, and full of spice and aroma. Every ingredient tastes fresh, intentional, and made with love. What really sets this place apart, though, is the owner. You can tell he genuinely cares about the food, the customers, and the culture behind the cuisine. He's warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about sharing real Mediterranean flavors. That kind of heart shows up on the plate. Portions are generous, presentation is beautiful, and the flavors are bold without being heavy. This is the kind of place you come back to again and again--and proudly recommend to friends. If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food made by people who truly care, Damasquino is a must. Huge respect to the owner and the team--thank you for such an amazing experience! read more

incredible spot, the shawerma is so greasy and so so good. the owner was so warm and welcoming, gave us extra fries, toum, and served us our wraps the damascus-way (handed to you whole as the toum on top of it is about ready to slide off because it's time to EAT ain't no time for waiting or photos). nonetheless i took one. i ate this after hiking baldy in the morning and it was perhaps the best post-peak meal i've ever had read more

After reading the reviews I decided to order takeout. I ordered through their website because their full menu was not visible on yelp. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma on Saj bread and it's definitely flavored. The chicken is tender and the sauce it's garnished with was good. The sandwich can easily be shared with two people. My son orders the Broasted Chicken with Waffle fries. My only complaint with his order is we received regular fries even though the menu states Waffle fries. It's good food, portions are great and the staff is friendly. I would recommend giving them a try. read more

I haven't found chicken shawarma this good locally in a very long time! I ordered mine on saj instead of pita ..it's crisp, lighter, and honestly makes it even better. The flavor instantly took me back to Lebanon; perfectly seasoned, crispy bits, juicy, and full of that authentic Mediterranean goodness. They also have two kinds of garlic sauce( a regular and a strong one). Go for the strong if you love that bold, authentic flavor (it's amazing!). I also tried a bit of their cheese and soojok sandwich, which was delicious too. The owner (or the guy working there) was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. There's some seating inside, but it's a smaller spot (cozy and casual, perfect for a quick bite or takeout). This place is definitely going on my list anytime I'm craving Mediterranean food. Highly recommend! read more

Damasquino - Super good chicken shawarma on Saj bread - Middle Eastern Near Me - Glendora, California

Cute mediterannean spot in a strip mall to get great sandwiches with a really welcoming owner. Damasquino is a small spot (maybe 2-3 inside tables) that sells a variety of Mediterranean type dishes, like your plates, your salads, etc. However, I think what distinguishes this spot from other mediterranean spots in Glendora (there are a lot) are the very tasty and well made sandwiches, stuffed with your choice of meat. The bread is this long pita type wrap bread that is grilled to be crispy on the outside, but still soft on the inside. And I got beef shawarma: very flavorful and juicy, and it came with a yogurt sauce that was either on the inside or served on the side. I think sandwich is the way to go when you visit Damasquino. However, I think the fries weren't crispy enough for me. so I would pick other sides. The owner asked me if I had ever been there before (I hadn't) and made me feel very welcomed. Great takeout, order a sandwich with falafel or a shawarma inside and be happy. read more

Damasquino - Beef Sandwich Meal with side of fries. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Glendora, California

My wife & I found this hidden gem Mediterranean Restaurant a few years ago. We've tried many other Mediterranean restaurants but Damasquino to this day is still our favorite! Don't let the small location fool you because the food is larger than life! Amazingly mouth watering delicious! Hussam, the master chef/cook never fails to deliver! We typically get the chicken kabob plate with rice, hummus, salad, grilled onion & tomato, pita bread & of course the strong garlic sauce! Last time we were there on 06/25/26, Hussam made us his juicy signature shawarma sandwich wrap which was a flavor bomb! It made our taste buds explode! The prices are very reasonable, the ambiance is cozy, & the cooks are friendly! We drive over 30 minutes every time we come here! It's worth the trip! If you're looking for delicious authentic Mediterranean food, stop by & give them a try! You won't be disappointed. read more

I was doing a chicken kebab taste test and this was one of the places I went to. They have kebab plates, sandwiches and even broasted chicken. And if you want dessert, they sell the viral Dubai Chocolate too ($14.99 - yikes)! It's located in a shopping plaza right off the 210 freeway, next to a taco place, an Italian place, and around the corner is a Thai place, and I think a sushi place too. (Lots of international options!) The dining area is small, maybe can fit 8 people, with a small table outside also. So I think this is mainly a takeaway place, or only for a quick meal. Prices here are higher than other places I've gone to, but my family liked their meats the best of the three places I went to. Service is friendly, very mom and pop vibe. read more

Damasquino - Half/Half shawarma plate with fries and garlic - Middle Eastern Near Me - Glendora, California

TLDR: 57 minutes from order to actually getting food, kabobs were completely overdone, order was forgotten and 3 orders after us already picked up. Couple ordered right before us finished eating and left before we even saw them working on our order. We have been coming to Damascquino for a few years now. As they have been one of the few places that opened late to midnight since COVID. I've been here enough times to have tried everything on their menu including all versions of their fries, broasted chicken mean, all the skewer and sides and have never been disappointed...until this last trip. We arrived around 6pm right around dinner service so obviously some wait is expected. There was 3 others that was in front of in line placing their orders. The person manning the counter seems to be newer and unfamiliar, we have never seen him before. It took around 20 minutes for him to take the 3 sets of orders in front of us and ours as well. At this point we got our receipt 6:26pm. Dinner service so we expect about 30 minutes of waiting or so, had a chat with one other person that was waiting for his order. Then starting to see one after another get their order. 3 more come in to place their order after us. The couple that ordered right before us is eating in and sat down at one of the tables inside. They get their order of 2 sandwiches and starts eating. Normally this place starts scooping the rice and sides for the next order to be fulfilled as those are prepared in advance, so as soon as the kabobs are done they can finish packing up and complete the order. We see multiple boxes on the counter waiting for the meat so we expect they were working on our order. The order behind us picks up their order. The next one after picked up their order. The 2 ladies that ordered last sat down and was served ....and no boxes were on the the counter indicating they were working on another order. At this point we are about 40 minutes in, so we walk in asking about ours. The guy turns at looks at the grill, then just says 15 minutes. Once we turned around he then starts to put our sides together completely forgetting our order. At this point we are 45 minutes in waiting, and it had better be the best kabobs we ever had. Finally they call us. 7:23pm. 57 minutes since we were rung up. On top of the lining up we are now about 80 minutes since we arrived. We are obviously frustrated but hey since they didn't have any more orders to work on our kabobs should be perfectly grilled right? COMPLETELY OVERCOOKED. It was chewy, dry, and any resemblance of flavor has been cooked to crap. And they just had the excuse of sorry it was dinner time we were busy, treating as if we are idiots and can't obviously tell they forgot our order. Unfortunately I doubt we will be returning again. For the staff: it's ok if it took a while during dinner service. We get it. It's ok if our order slipped thru the cracks. It happens. But what is absolutely not acceptable is lying about it AND completely screw the cooking up considering you have no more active orders besides ours. We would have been okay if you acknowledged the error and cooked our kabobs to perfection, maybe offer us a drink for the wait time as it barely costs you anything. You see 2 guys standing right outside of your store and have completely zero awareness of MAYBE we might still be waiting for our order? read more

This local restaurant was a great spot for Mediterranean food! We came in around an hour before their closing time, and the service was exceptional. They told us that the food may take a while to arrive because they were starting a new batch, and everything came out fresh and hot. The rice was surprisingly well seasoned, one of the best rice dishes I've had in a Mediterranean restaurant ! The chicken was also very flavorful and moist. read more
