When it comes to Middle Eastern food, Syrian cuisine holds its weight. Sure, there are the usual Middle Eastern culprits that everyone is pretty familiar with, like falafel, hummus, and labneh—all of which have gained their rightful place as globally loved foods.
But Middle Eastern cuisine has much more to offer. A lot of traditional food in the Levant is quite similar, but Syrian food is particularly worth trying out. Cuisine from Syria is literally an amalgamation of everything the Middle East has to offer.
If you’re into eggplants, garlic, fava beans and lamb—then you will love Syrian food. From Damascus to the world, these are the Syrian dishes you need to try.
