I can't speak highly enough of the food, service and helpfulness of this restaurant. We had a party for 75 people. They catered it for us and everyone absolutely loved the food. We kept hearing that it was the best Mediterranean food they had ever tasted. The owners were so helpful in helping us figure out how much food we needed, so reassuring and accommodating. They gave us so many ways to customize the meal so it worked to make our busy day easy. They were kind, generous and we will be going back time after time. 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

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

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

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 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

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

Amazing food, and customer service. There is space to both inside and outside. Highly recommend it! The beef kabob was the best beef kabob I've ever tasted. The meat was so tender, flavorful, and juicy. I chose hummus and rice for my sides, they were just as tasty. read more

So I saw a trend online with places in LA specifically "Miya Miya" the problem is I don't live near Beverly Hills. So I searched online and it so turns out that this place does the exact same thing! Owner very friendly and made it exactly how I wanted it. The place is a small walk-in joint but they do not disappoint. The chicken shawarma wrap toasted on lavash is freaking goated and taste so freaking good and they fill that bad boy up with chicken good. Worth every penny 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 - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendora, California

I was finally able to try this place earlier and i was pretty disappointed. Didn't taste like the middle eastern food I'm used to. I ordered the double chicken shawarma wrap combo on saj with fries and garlic. My wife also got the kefta kabob combo and she said the kefta was sour. Chicken shawarma was so sour and I've never tasted anything sour at the shawarma places I've tried. That alone messed up my taste buds. Now I need to go to my fav spot to wash this down. read more

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. - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendora, California

We ordered the chicken kebab and chicken shawarma. I found the shawarma to be more flavorful and enjoyable compared to the kebab. The rice was decent, but it didn't stand out. Overall, I would recommend the shawarma for a more satisfying meal. 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

The broasted chicken is flavorful, juicy and amazing and the waffles fries are chefs kiss. I also love the pickles and garlic sauce they include.

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

Stopped in late last week. The food was delicious and portions were generous! The owner (at least I think he was the owner) was very nice and accommodating. He explained that they're more of a takeout spot and can get super busy as times. I think he mentioned this because I said I found them on Yelp and there were a few reviews about negative in-dining experiences. We had nothing but a great experience here while it was a bit slower part of the night. Can't wait to come back and try more items! read more

The beef shawarma sandwich was excellent. I lived in Israel for some time, and from the very first bite, I was transported right back to the Middle East--everything from the seasoning to the texture felt authentic and full of heart. Perfectly spiced, tender, and deeply nostalgic. A truly standout dish. Service was good. Restaurant was clean. We were greeted by smiling faces. What more can you ask for?! read more

We looked up for a good Lebanese food and this place popped up.... We enjoyed it very much. The owners were very accommodating and super friendly.

Btw, small little place but super clean too. read more

What a great find! How many times have I driven past this place? Too many and I've not noticed! I wanted a simple sandwich not thinking my search would pull up this place. Glad I went with my good old Yelp search. Damasquino is a gem tucked along a strip mall. Space is tiny and clean. Somewhat of a wait but it's worth it since food is coming out fresh! Ordered a kabob sandwich which is filet wrapped in a pita with fresh parsley tomato and was that tahini? Either way loved it! I'd order this again! Chicken plate with rice and hummus with a condiment of garlic spread and pita bread was tasty! Chicken was a seasoned just right atop fluffy rice. This could be one of my go-to places! Indoor and outdoor seating available. Small space so you may not be able to get a seat on a really busy day. read more

Disgusting good thing I've seen it before we got our food and ate canceled my order and will never go back. read more

Amazing service and recommendations from the menu. The Kafta Kabob Sandwich is a must order for your cravings!

I finally got around to checking this place out. The restaurant is quite small with maybe two or three tables inside. There's plenty of parking in the surrounding area since it is located in a large plaza. I ordered the chicken kebab wrap with pita bread. The wrap was excellent. Very filling with a lot of meat and made fresh to order. I liked the added touch of french fries inside since not all Mediterranean spots add french fries to their pita wraps. Since the food is prepared fresh, it does take a while to come out, but it is well worth the wait. read more

I am not lying when I say this is the best Mediterranean food we've ever tried. Not only immaculate food, but even greater service by I believe was the owner.

Super small shop but bomb Mediterranean food! Got the Beef Shwarma which comes with over rice + pita. Beef shwarma is yummm comes a bit charred which I love and overall is delicious. Prices feel a little high BUT also I think the portions are generous and I left full so honestly we call that inflation and tbh I think it's worth it. I would definitely com here again. I've been sleeping on this place because I come to this center all the time but have never tried this spot, but it's solid. Highly recommend! read more

We've been wanting to try this place for a while and glad we did one Friday night. When we first arrived there was a group of young ladies in front of us with a big order, when we went to order the the guy behind the counter was snappy with us. We felt unwelcome but nonetheless we weren't going to let that deter us as it smelled delicious in there. The guys enjoyed the beef shawarma sandwiches with fries and hummus and I had the beef shawarma plate with rice and garlic spread and tahini. Wow! The food hit the spot! The garlic spread was so fluffy and delicious. Did want to mention when I went back in for a to go box the guy seemed better and pointed out that it was busy earlier, so I'll let him slide. I'll definitely be back. read more

This was a surprising small shop in a small plaza. There are plenty of parking spaces. There is a kiosk you can use outside to place your order or you can go inside and place your order with the friendly owner. There are some tables outside and three inside. The one largest table inside seats 4 people. The AC isn't very strong so it's a bit hot sitting inside. It appears they do a lot of to go orders. I got the beef swarma and broasted chicken (just the chicken) to try. The flavors of the beef was on point and they don't skimp on the meat. Everything put together in the swarma came together perfectly. The broasted chicken was so moist with a crunchy outside. It was excellent with just the right amount of flavor and they probably brine the chicken before cooking because the meat had flavor. It does take about twenty min to make the chicken fresh so if that's what you want, maybe call in ahead of time. The owner gave me some pita bread and mayo garlic sauce to try and let me tell ya, that mayo garlic sauce was magical! read more
