I cant believe this place doesnt have more reviews! When I moved to Brooklyn Heights three years ago my mom was super excited to tell me about Damascus, which she described as an institution. Their selection of middle eastern pastries, snacks, condiments, and ingredients is great. Their hand pies (meat, spinach, and many other flavors and combinations) are cheap and delicious. Its a regular stop on my weekend shopping expeditions, and should be on yours too.

I LOVE this pasty shop. I specifically go here to buy feta cheese, because this shop carries excellent brands and the prices are great. But you can find all kinds of prepared foods & spreads: tabouleh, beans, caviar, baba ganoush, etc. They also have halvah and its delicious. And a turkish coffee that is very inexpensive and very good. You can also find here TONS of spices. The owner is always funny and friendly with innate customer skills.

This place has fantastic foods, and an excellent and broad selection of Middle Eastern spices and foods. I believe they also offer catering services, as well. The last time I was there, I purchased a sweet and savory pastry, filled with cheese, breaded, and lightly coated with honey. I was embarrassed to ask what it was called, as I had forgotten, but it was supremely delicious!

Small Syrian bakery-shop offer different verity of food and salads. Worth to try chopped falafel sandwich but seriously Walnut Baklava is the real treasure. Certainly best in the town. Pin the address, that place in Brooklyn one of the most authentic and interesting on Atlantic avenue.

By far the best pre prepared hummous Ive ever tasted. Ive done the research! This place is amazing. The bread is supposed to be phenomenal as well, though I havent tried it yet. The eggplant is amazing also. The guys behind the counter (at least one is an owner) are really friendly.

We travel down to Damascus in Brooklyn, 70 miles, to pick up food about once a month. Its healthy, fresh and delicious. Love the falafel, spinish pies and vegetables. The owner and employees are so professional and pleasant. Its a pleasure to shop there.

Quality is unwavering. Everything is always fresh and delicious, and its the same friendly familar faces every time I visit. My parents would shop here when they lived in Carroll Gardens in the 80s, and now I do too. Its turned into a family tradition.

Having eaten my way through every major middle eastern city from Aleppo to Sanaa, I can honestly say with complete confidence their hattoush is the best hattoush on the planet. If you come here and dont get a hattoush youve missed out completely.

This place is legit. I often find myself going here when Sahadis is closed. They make the pita fresh in Dumbo. Can you believe that?! The desserts behind the counter are also exceptional. The place can get pretty crowded though.

Delicious laham ajeen, meat pies, spinach pies...everything! Not to mention my favorite baklava in all of Brooklyn. I recommend buying a small meal and eating it on the boardwalk overlooking the downtown skyline.

Very friendly staff and amazing breads and sandwiches. The spices are a bit overprices, but great quality as are the prepared goods. Oh, by the way, best Baklava – not too sweet, not too chewy and crunch!

Beautiful selection of breads and baked goods. Their pre-made falafel mix is fantastic and their pitas are really tasty. If you ever need a quick bite, their display case will definitely satisfy you.

Sorry, no. Corners have been cut with all the baked goods here, to the point where theyre not as tasty as they should be. Plus, the prices are high. Head a couple doors down to Sahadi instead.

The man And woman working pressured me into buying one of each. I get home to try them and they were over baked and dry! Couldnt even eat them. Never again will I go here

The best bread, spinach pies and dips you can buy in the NYC area, and the only place Ive found to buy real, Middle Eastern stuffed grape leaves. Incredibly good!

My "go to" place for all Mideastern or Mediterranean specialty foods. All the breads, spreads and salads are made in house, and delicious!

Best pita and falafel in the area. For $4, you cant really do much better. Try some of their desserts and pies as well.

Everything is good here. Prices are high though so youll need to pick and choose what you invest your Dinars in...

Nice lemony spinach feta pastries - the ones I loved in Turkey were creamier and less sour.
