About

Damascus, run by Hasan Alwarhani and Flora Quintana, specializes in authentic Syrian cuisine, offering fresh, healthy, and aromatic dishes made from scratch. Signature items include Syrian pizza (manakish), chicken shawarma, and hummus, with many vegetarian and vegan options. The business started as a food truck and market stall, evolving into a popular permanent restaurant in Wellington. Hasan's cooking is deeply rooted in his Syrian family traditions, aiming to share his culture through food.
