I…read moredon't recall the name of our server but she was fantastic and walked us through the menu several times because it was a little daunting! If I had to be a bit nit-picky, I would say that even with the quality of the entire experience taken into account, the prices could have been a bit better. I think we spent about $60 per person and were still a little bit hungry after all was said and done.

My mom is gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, 100% olive oil... lots of dietary restrictions, and Damas accommodated for her so kindly! The staff were super kind and welcoming. My mom had come here once before, and the waitress remembered her by name and was incredibly gracious and patient as my mom explained her diet. As for the food, just WOW. The pomegranate salad was incredible, and we got the lamb, chicken, mushrooms... everything was so beautifully plated with vibrant colors and burst of many flavors. Each perfectly cooked. It's amazing how they can turn something as "simple" as mushrooms and chicken to be so incredibly delicious. We celebrated my mom's birthday here, and the ambiance was perfect for it. 10/10 would recommend this place, especially for anyone with allergies.

We were a family of four and sat near the window. It's true there's no AC, but with the windows open, it isn't so bad. The cushioned benches and colorful quilted ceiling along with the Moroccan lanterns really evoke the feeling of being transported to North and Western Africa. And I have traveled and eaten my way across Morocco. The chef here is from Mauritania, and the cuisine is similar to that of Morocco's. It's a pre-fixe menu, and we were given lentil soup with pita bread, hummus, and a platter filled with stewed beef & dates, chicken and green olives, and chickpeas all over couscous. The presentation was a feast for the eyes, and everything tasted delicious. The lentil soup, by the way, was the tastiest lentil soup I have ever had. I could do that, pita, and a salad and be satisfied. We finished with a pot of Moroccan mint tea, where our server poured the first round from way up high as they do in Morocco, surrounding countries, and the Middle East. He did great without spilling lol. Service was excellent. Our server was the only one working the dining room, and he did a great job attending to everyone's needs, including those of other diners around us. He had a sense of humor and was very generous when he asked if anyone wanted more food and tea. If you're looking to dine on Northwestern African food and enjoy a unique ambiance, this is a wonderful spot. It's perfect for dates and groups. Enjoy and expect to be wow'ed.

Upon entering the restaurant, I'm instantly reminded of the late nights waiting at a halal cart in nyc after a night out. This restaurant itself is not the cleanest and rather chaotic on weekend nights. Theres usually a long line to order, but it moves rather quickly and efficiently. The staff members aren't the friendliest, but they get the job done LOL. You'll find a bunch of hungry and probably drunk people sitting at the cafeteria styled seats at night. The food is the main selling point here though. I've gotten the mixed platter and shawarma platter; both with generous servings of protein all doused in a flavorful sauce. Ordered the poutine recently and was also impressed how much they loaded the protein. It was a little on the saltier side and wished they had more cheese curds, but still pretty enjoyable. The fries were also more like small potato wedges. I've recommended this place countless times for almost any point of the day, but they especially hit the spot after a long night.
