“In Syrian culture, we can’t make any journey without first planning the food. If you decide to go to the cinema, you plan what you’ll eat. If you plan to visit your mother, you know that you’re going to eat. There’s no going out without eating something.”

-Imad Alarnab

Imad Alarnab was a successful restaurateur in Damascus with three restaurants, plus several juice bars and cafes. In the war, Imad's restaurants were destroyed and he was forced to flee the country in search of safety for his family. Making his way from Lebanon through Europe, Imad shared his skills cooking for other refugees, up to 400 at a time, and found even in the most challenging times, his passion for food and bringing people together to celebrate life was strong.

The food was overly salty and dissimilar to traditional Syrian cusine. Service below average Spend your money and enjoy Middle Eastern food in an authentic restaurant

Most delicious meal I’ve had in a long time. Service was so quick and our waiter Ali was the best, he couldn’t have looked after us better. We can’t wait to come back!

Didn’t give 5 as the place was a bit noisy. Food came so quickly that I wondered about the freshness of it all

Really enjoyed our lunch at Imaad’s Syrian Kitchen. The food was well presented and so delicious. Great variety and some different flavours than we had experienced before. Good service and lovely environment- will definitely eat there again.

Delicious food and exciting choice of wines. The only issue we found was that the tables were too close together, it felt like we were sitting with the table next to us and it also made moving between tables difficult. Otherwise, an excellent lunch and would recommend. The pittas were outstanding.

Delicious, wonderfully spiced and flavour-balanced dishes (a particular highlight being the lamb shoulder dish) in a friendly, buzzy atmosphere. We will definitely return.
