“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.

    I have been to Imad's several times, but this was the first time since they moved from the original smaller restaurant space nearby. The place was packed even at 3pm on Saturday, so booking is essential I would think. The food was as ever delicious, though I felt maybe the pricing has gone up a bit (not surprising I guess given increasing costs all round). The tables are small and very close together, though in some ways that helps to give it the noisy buzzy vibe. The old restaurant was smaller and seemed more intimate and friendly than this new set up - it was super busy and the staff were working hard and didn't have much time for pleasantries. I would still recommend Imad's and will no doubt go again, but it seems to have lost something in the transfer of premises.

    The food at Imad's was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend getting a variety of dishes to share with the table. We were both vegetarian and found there was lots of options for us to choose from. The only negative would be that they want to turn the tables around quickly so we felt slightly rushed at the end of the meal. As this dinner was an out of town catch up it would have been nice to have had some more time to enjoy the food and ambience of the restaurant.

    Our first visit to Imad’s - a table of 5 - and we loved everything about it. The food was delicious, service was friendly and efficient, and the ambience and setting was great. Will recommend to friends and will return.
