The hummus and Chicken Sharwama was good, though I wish that they would at least make the effort to note somewhere to remove the pickles as requested. It was also difficult to order through the glass pane.

Super friendly staff. The person taking my order was friendly, welcoming and enthusiastic. Order was done quick and man the food is goooooooood. I took a picture too late cus i ate almost everything immediately. Only regret is i didn’t upsize my lamb shawarma wrap. 10/10 would come back again. And the sauce he gave was really good. going to be a loyal customer now.

Exceptional Shawarma Experience! I recently had the pleasure of visiting Damascus Delights in Singapore, and I must say, their Shawarma is absolutely outstanding! From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance. The Shawarma itself was a true masterpiece. The tender, succulent meat was perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and the combination of the fresh vegetables, aromatic spices, and delectable sauces created a harmonious symphony of taste. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the Shawarma. The pita bread was soft and fluffy, providing the ideal vessel for the mouthwatering filling. The generous portion size left me feeling satisfied and content. What sets Damascus Delights apart is not only the superb quality of their Shawarma but also the passion and dedication of their staff. The service was prompt, friendly, and attentive, making my dining experience truly exceptional. I highly recommend Damascus Delights to all Shawarma enthusiasts. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to this delicious Middle Eastern delicacy, this is the place to go. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable culinary adventure that will leave you craving more.

This is the ONLY authentic Syrian Shawarma in Singapore and by far the best shawarma. The service is great and the food is awesome. I highly recommend it. Don't forget to try the sweets too.

So much hype abt tis place. Cashier was not attentive. Made request to her 3 times and even reminded her again after payment. She conveyed to the chef incorrectly. I was sharp enough to be able to view the process and informed the cashier again. But it was too late. Paid quite a sum for it but disappointed with what I have gotten.

The store smells so nice when I pass by Tampines MRT, but it doesn’t look “cheap” when compared to Stuffd. So I took the leap of faith and bought it for the family… and boy… we were blown away by the chicken wrap. It’s a “kebab with no veggie”… so if you are a meat lover, you will LOVE this. Plus, the chicken was so tasty… it is SO much better than the kebabs you taste at our pasar malam. Happy that we now have a to-go store when we need to buy a quick bite. ”Stuffd without the veggie and all meat” No wonder the Google reviews are insanely 5-stars, totally worth it!

Authentic Syrian cuisine right at my doorstep! Awesome! The chicken shawarma’s filling is very generous. Good food.

Was attracted by the high rating and I wasn't disappointed. On two separate occasions tried the chicken shawarma kebab and lamb shawarma kebab. The meat is well marinated and really tender. I prefer the chicken since it has more texture but the lamb is great too. It came with some onion cuts and sauce which complements the meat texture and make it really flavorful. They also give generous amount of meat. When we had the lamb kebab, the staff also offered us molasses to try with the lamb which we like too. Great service and great food, will definitely come back to try the other menu. Keep it up!

Pass by this shop few times and attracted by the delicious smell coming from it. Today finally i can try their chicken wrap shawarma. The skin very well toasted, have slight crunch when you eat while it’s hot. The wrap itself huge and and full of meat from end to end. Have a bit pickle and some veggie, but. Most of it chicken meat, succulent and juice. One wrap very filling. Their menu also kids friendly. Recommended to try, hopefully in future they have customisable wrap or bowl.

Food is phenomenal !! Lots of recommendation for Shawarma & is tip top. From the multiple perspectives: flavour profile, meat tenderness, mouth feel, quality consistency, serving speed, food warmth - the best one ever, better than fancy restaurants. Priced competitively. We liked the deserts too ( baklava ) must try - juicy and crispy

Delicious shawarmas, piping hot, flavourful and filling. Wait was a tad long I feel, but for the food that I received, it was worth it! Chicken shawarma - highly recommended!

No joke guys. It's the real deal. I've been buying from the place and have tried the chicken and lamb shawarma as well as the rice. My favourite is the lamb with rice. The rice is perfectly flavoured, not too overwhelming such that you get to enjoy both the meat and the rice. The sauces makes the overall taste more balanced and rich. The portion of rice and meat is huge too as my picture shows. Enough to fill two plates 😁 I'm somewhat a "regular customer" now. Hoping they can add lamb neck rice dishes in future.

This is really a hidden gem located in Tampines which serves very good Syrian fare. I visited on a weekend there wasn't any queue but you can see there's a customer every few minutes and business is quite brisk. Didn't want something heavy so I opted for the chicken shawarma. Decided to order the Adeni tea as well. Was a little disappointed when was told the kunafeh wasn't available and they only had baklava so I just took what was available. This place is just a takeaway place so there isn't space for any dine in, probably could accommodate one where the staff is resting. I had the shawarma and it tasted so similar to the one I tasted in Damascus and I felt like I was transported back to Syria. The tea and the baklava was also good and as authentic as it seems. Would love if they can expand a bit more on their menu, bring a bit more Syrian dishes for people to try. Would love to visit again and hope to try the lamb kebab and pomegranate juice.

Delicious shawarma whether in a wrap or in a bowl - whether chicken or lamb. The meats are tender and properly spiced. My children like the taste of the chicken better than the lamb but I like them both. The lamb didn't have smell and we loved all of the dressings. Shawarma bowl means meat plus salad, don't have any carbohydrates. There are seats to wait but not to eat so basically it's a takeaway stall. In the peak hours, you can wait around 30 minutes for your order.

As another reviewer said, if you like your kebab with meat > veg, this definitely hits the mark. I had the chicken shawarma wrap which was very flavourful w generous serving of chicken. I love that the wrap was nicely toasted and I thought I caught a whiff of a lovely buttery smell as I bite into my wrap. Will go for the bowl next time as boss Hadi said it’s the healthier version sans carbs (and more veg). Do you know they make their own sauces? The white sauce contains just 400g of oil, compared to 5kg in the typical mayo. Best shawarma in SG IMO and I’m glad it’s in the east/Tampines!

Had both chicken & lamb shawarma. Really good portion of meat for both, served hot, freshly sliced from the individual skewers. The wrap itself was lightly toasted, giving it a slight crunch to it. Light yet filling meal. Also tried Baba Ghanoush. Comes with 2 pieces of ‘pita wrap’. Baba Ghanoush was pre-prepared as it was served cold out from the fridge. A bit too sour for my liking. Portion was sufficient for the 2 pita wraps. Claims to be authentic Syrian cuisine. Will definitely return to try out the rest of the menu.

Almost every option was sold out at 7pm except for the chicken shawarma but the shawarma was so, so good. The thin slices of pickles were great for cutting through the generous portion of meat. Looking forward to trying their lamb option soon.

Been frequenting Damascus Delights since late last year and it is truly the gem of Tampines. Best shawarma I’ve ever had with super generous portions and meat fillings. For the quality and portions, the price is really reasonable. You can tell the food is really prepared with a lot of care because it tastes very homely and the seasoning/spices are probably good quality because the way the spices blend together is just so good!! The food was so good my partner wanted to eat my portion too 🙈 Highly recommend the shawarma bowl/arabi style set and adeni tea. Their lamb also has no “gamey” taste and is super well seasoned and prepared!! They always sell out around 8+ so get there early!!

Been eager to try this place since I found out there would finally be a Syrian eatery in Singapore, but I didn't get to try it until yesterday. Decided to get the chicken shawarma + rice and he explained what goes into the bowl since it was my first time there. Service was fast and friendly and the food was nothing short of amazing. Very generous portion (picture doesn't do it justice) and well packed, chicken was tender and well seasoned, rice was rich but not overpowering and the 3 sauces added some sharpness that perfectly complemented the other flavors. Wish I had taken better pictures of the food but I was excited to dig in 😅 Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic middle eastern food 👍

these shawarma wraps alone are worth travelling from beauty world to tampines💯 today marks my 2nd visit and i had the lamb wrap (regular size). both chicken and lamb wraps are a full-on meat lover’s paradise. no hint of veggie in sight, just pure juicy, meaty and tender seasoned lamb chunks slatered with a kind of tahini sauce and pickled onions. the chicken one is my personal favourite cuz i like the toum sauce but overall both meat options have impressive flavour! the wrap is then freshly grilled to a satisfyingly crisp, crunchy layer. overall a very tasty and generously portioned wrap that left me feeling satiated. then sat for awhile and convinced myself to dabao another wrap to freeze for a weekday lunch (gotta make full use of the trip down here🤣) my family never ventures here but i really think they should try this so i’ll definitely be back to takeaway dinner next time!

Have visited twice so far, and tried the rice, wrap, tea, and Syrian delights. Can't decide which is my favorite because they are all so good. Will happily break any diet for some of their foods. But if you can only choose one, go for the rice!
