Specializing in Syrian cuisine, this restaurant brings a vibrant palette of flavors, aroma, and textures which are beautifully showcased through their popular Shawarma dishes.

One cannot help but be drawn to the Mozzarella Sticks (MYR 21.90) as the perfect appetizer — golden, crispy exteriors giving way to warm, gooey cheese that gently melts in your mouth.

The beverage menu complements the food brilliantly: freshly squeezed Orange Juice (MYR 5.00) bursts with vibrant citrus notes offering a refreshing burst of vitamin C, while the Iced Lemon Tea (MYR 5.00) serves as a perfectly chilled, tangy companion to the richness of the dishes. For those who prefer simplicity, the Mineral Water (MYR 3.00) keeps the palate refreshed and clean.

Newly opened Damas King in Aman Central was an amazing experience for us as we thought nothing about this outlet amidst the many choices in the lower ground level of the mall. The staff was very patient with our order, courteous and helpful. The kitchen staff looked very clean, which was why we chose to eat at the kebab outlet. We ordered Shawarma wrap, served hot,- both chicken and beef; the beef in the wrap was well cooked in a nice nice savory sweet sauce while the side sauce was savory but not spicy, which in my opinion was really good. I liked best the wrap because it had a pan fried texture and taste! The set comes with fries and mayonnaise. The Arabic tea was camomile tea which had cardamoms outside the tea bag, a nice washdown after the wraps.

I love their shawarma so much. I lived in Egypt for 8 years and half, and shawarma have become one of my favourite food so here's my thought. In Egypt this shawarma wrap is known as Shawarma Suri (Syrian shawarma). I do approve their shawarma for their authentic taste. The authentic garlic sauce is always taste more to sour and I've been to places trying to find the one that with authentic taste but failed to find it but when 1st time I tried their shawarma, I was so excited and it brings back memories. I almost cry because I miss Cairo so much and I'm happy to find something that will always remind me of Egypt. Please keep it up and I hope they'll not change the recipe, I've been there 3 times already and will definitely going back and will never stop buying shawarma from them and will definitely try all their foods. I'll update my review every time I try new foods there. Thank you for the good food Please try their shawarma because you don't have to travel just to have an authentic shawarma. You can just have it here.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Kedah, and for a good reason! The Shawarma here is absolutely delicious and reminds me of the authentic flavors from my hometown, Damascus. It’s seasoned and prepared perfectly, capturing the true essence of Syrian cuisine. What makes this place even more exciting is their innovative new offering, the "Kaizer" burger Shawarma. It's a unique and flavorful twist that combines the best of both worlds—a must-try for anyone looking to experience something special. Every time I visit Alor Setar, stopping here for Shawarma is an absolute must. The food, quality, and taste never disappoint, making it a top choice for authentic and creative dishes. Highly recommended for Shawarma lovers and anyone looking to try something extraordinary!

The worker there are very polite and good at serving. The food there we bought was ala carte chicken shawarma. The chicken is seasoned well but lack of sauce. To be honest it was a dry type shawarma . I also didn't taste the garlic very well. Overall it's a good experience
