What to Know Before Ordering from Damascene Bakery
Damascene Bakery offers everything from individual pastries to full 12-inch pizzas, so checking the serving format before ordering can help match the meal to your appetite.
- Portion sizes vary between mini fatayer, individual mana’eesh, mezze dishes and full pizzas.
- Some pastries include cheese, yoghurt, tahini or nuts, so checking ingredients is useful if you have dietary restrictions.
- Ordering several mini pastries or mezze dishes can increase the total spend compared with choosing one standalone bakery item.
- Kofta and Muhamara may feel more substantial than simpler thyme or spinach pastries because it combines minced meat with a nut-based topping.

Damascene Bakery has been reported as using halal meat, and its current MenuSpot listing explicitly describes the salami used in one mana’eesh as halal.
