Cafe Damascus - Rothrist

My husband and I were driving through the area and decided on an impromptu lunch and this restaurant had high reviews. Little did we know, after we finished an incredible meal we were told it is a cash only restaurant. My mouth dropped, I felt sick to my stomach because I knew we didn't have any of the correct currency cash left on us as we were flying home that night (we had USD, not Swiss Franc) and we had stupidly forgotten to take a debit card with us on vacation and we had no idea what to do. The server was so polite. She said that they would make am exception and have us pay by email as my husband and I were stressing about what to do. We ended up leaving American dollars and a good tip, but felt gutted that we left USD and not the local currency. The food was phenomenal. Get the hummus for sure. We each got a meal and it was absolutely delicious and good sized servings. Couldn't say anything better about this place.

Ordered a plate to share. What a surprise. Nice freshly made hummus, Tabule, ships kebab etc. all delicious. Can highly recommend it.

Easily the best restaurant I’ve been to in months. The food, atmosphere and staff were all faultless. I had the damaszenerburger, and the hummous and flatbreads were also delicious.

Very fine food in a very cozy atmosphere

Excellent oriental dishes, very nice service and personal contact! The restaurant also offers catering service, a little break into the Arab world! Be sure to reserve in advance!
