Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Order Chops. If lamb chops are your priority, order generously: one regular described them as among the finest and encouraged going big.

Check Portions. If ordering a large quantity of chops, confirm the meat portion first, since one kilo was reported as mostly fat and bone.

The Bottom Line

Al Damyati Restaurant Al Barsha is an Egyptian grill restaurant with a long-standing Karama following. Lamb chops are the main draw: reviews describe them as tender, juicy, charred and sometimes falling off the bone. Juicy kebabs, mixed grill and arayes are other dependable choices, while foul, falafel and hummus deliver the traditional Egyptian side of the menu.

The meal often starts generously. Customers mention complimentary lentil soup, hummus, salad, falafel, tahini, pickles and fresh khubz, with tea sometimes served at the end. The lentil soup gets unusually warm praise, and the freshly baked bread is a useful partner for the dips and grills.

Afghan additions such as Bukhari rice and Afghani mutton pulao also appear in reviews. The Al Barsha setting is bigger than a basic neighbourhood eatery, with spacious tables, majlis-style or carpeted seating and some private-feeling corners for groups. Parking in front has been easy for at least one family visitor.

Prices are generally described as reasonable, though one review called the venue pricey and others cautioned that lamb chop portions can be fatty or light on meat. Service is usually friendly, but an order mix-up and limited highchairs have also been reported.
