Must Try
Damasca One sits inside Souq Waqif, and it has built a reputation as one of the market’s go-to spots for Syrian food, with 841 Tripadvisor reviews averaging 4.0 out of 5. This guide covers the full-priced menu, hours, ratings, and what to expect on a visit to this Palma Hospitality outlet.
About Damasca One Restaurant
Damasca One describes itself as a modern take on Syrian dining, set apart from more traditional Souq Waqif restaurants while still rooted in Damascene cuisine. The restaurant is part of Palma Hospitality’s portfolio and has picked up a Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award.
The physical space spans two floors plus a rooftop terrace, according to multiple independent visitor accounts.
The ground floor and terrace suit the busy market atmosphere, while reviewers note the space fills up especially in the evenings, with occasional live music performances.
Décor runs toward traditional Middle Eastern styling, with cushions, colored glass, and staff dressed to match the Damascus theme.
Reviewers consistently point to the fried eggplant appetizer (Baba Ghannouj on the current menu), chicken kebabs, and rice-and-lamb dishes as standouts.
Service is described as friendly but occasionally slow, with several reviews mentioning complimentary sweets or tea offered to guests during a wait.
Location & Hours
Address
Damasca One is located inside Souq Waqif, Doha, Qatar.
Hours
Most sources converge on roughly 8:00 AM to Midnight, daily. One travel-guide source lists a split schedule instead, with a morning-to-early-afternoon block followed by an evening block, and a shorter single block on Fridays.
Given this minor variation, calling ahead for an early breakfast or a very late dinner is a safe move.
