About Us
 

When my family and I arrived in London, war was raging in our home country, Syria. It felt sad leaving our family and friends behind, but Londoners received us with a warm and genuine welcome.

​

We opened Damascene restaurant in Slough in 2018 with the purpose of serving the locals authentic Syrian food–the traditional way. As chefs, we wanted to do so in the way it’s done back home.

​

Sharing, generosity and hospitality are the hallmarks of Syrian culture. Food, is a celebration of life: Endless varieties and magical tastes…it is healthy and naturally prepared. It all comes together at meal time, the time for a family get-together and the time for friends to catch up. It is the perfect setting too for closing that business deal.
 

At Damascene, our food and service reflects these traditions. We take great care in our cooking using only the finest natural ingredients. We never rush our guests and always serve with a smile. Our success is a tribute to our loyal customers who appreciate the importance of being served good and healthy food in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

 

We genuinely feel that the only way we can show how deeply grateful we are for what we’ve been able to achieve, is by continuing to serve the best Syrian food in Slough.
 

So it is with open hearts and smiles that we welcome you to Damascene.
