    A country that suffered so much...but the "Welcome to Syria" from this young lad was genuine and said with heart.

      Dear Mark,
      Be careful not to fall into the trap of relying on Syrian regime propaganda. Please remember that the Syrian government killed children with chemical weapons. There are 60,000 actual photos of Syrians tortured to death by this regime. The destruction in Syria has been mostly carried out by the regime.
      In 2013, the UN clearly requested that the president of Syria not use heavy weaponry in populated areas; this is documented. If regime forces claim that the destruction in certain places was caused by others, be cautious.
      It would be great if you could comment on the human rights abuses in Syria...

      Syria is worthy of the suffering it has suffered. China has provided a lot of aid, but the young people in their country abuse the Chinese people. The police also catch Chinese citizens as thieves, beat and abuse them, chilling the hearts of the Chinese people 😢

As the only Filipino guy who loved to join the company of Syrians, they treated me as one of them and invited me to have some good Syrian food with Sisha on the side. I missed you Ahmad, Maher, Hassam, Hani, Mohannad, Bakri, Rami, Abdulkader, and Mohammed. Thank you for all the good memories.

Do not think that what is being portrayed is the truth and the normal, comfortable life of the people. Rather, the truth is that they are very poor and live with difficulty because of the bad state system and the unjust, murderous dictatorship.

      Misinformation.
      Syria is the sixth most food-insecure country in the world. 16.7 million Syrians depend on humanitarian assistance to survive.
      Nearly 6 million Syrians cannot get enough food and are surviving off of World Food Programme (WFP) handouts. WFP estimates that 16.7 million Syrians - over half the Syrian population - are in the grip of hunger today.
      It is clearly misinformation to show all the food, suggesting Syrians are OK, when WFP says Syrians are starving. Remove this video.

    I got emotional watching this vlog, lived there more than 6 years in Damascus and am so happy to see a famous vlogger going there to film and eat. Just to let you know, the people there are struggling soooo hard to (eat) their (traditional basic FOOD). Pray for them to get the life they deserve.
    btw, the monthly income for the workers is less than 100$.

      You should find some Russian food as well and you should smile the blood in the food in a country controlled by the most criminal dictator on earth. Six million Syrians have been displaced outside their country, in addition to thousands of dead, wounded, and missing because of this criminal, murderous regime. You are an American, Mark, and your values ​​do not allow you to visit Syria, which is ruled by a criminal, brutal, dirty, cowardly, and terrifying person.

      How does your restaurant obtain the food to provide all the tasty Syrian dishes?
      Explain who your suppliers are because
      Syria is the sixth most food-insecure country in the world.
      16.7 million Syrians depend on humanitarian assistance to survive.
      None of them are coming to your restaurant.
      Nearly 6 million Syrians cannot get enough food and are surviving off of World Food Programme (WFP) handouts. WFP estimates that 16.7 million Syrians - over half the Syrian population - are in the grip of hunger today.
      It is clearly misinformation to suggest Syrians are OK, and not starving when WFP says Syrians are starving. They are feeding over 5 million Syrians and the country received over a billion in foreign aid, just to survive each year, whilst your evil Dictator Assad continues to fight a 14 + year long civil war and has jailed 46,000 people without charge, 90% of them are women and children.
      So excuse me for accusing this video of misinformation, if you really do manage a restaurant in Syria, whilst Syrians are starving you should be ashamed of yourself. The World Food Programme would like to know how you are obtaining your supplies to make all the tasty food Mark shows. Will you provide a better price to feed 16 million Syrians 3 meals a day?
      Remove video.

    What makes Syrian food so special isn't just the talent of the chefs, the ancient recipes, the unique flavours and combinations, but also the fact that Syrian food is all from Syria. All the meat, fruit, and vegetables are local, they are not imported from Iraq, or Europe, or wherever. This means the ingredients are super fresh, non-GMO, organic, and everything you eat came only an hours drive away at most.

      @@Zikkim-bx1iy No that is not true in government held Syria, maybe it's true in Turkish occupied Syria in the North, that they get most of their food from Turkey. You can see import data for Syria online, furthermore there is a scientific paper titled "The Resilience of Syrian Agriculture" which outlines key ways in how Syria is food self-sustainable despite the lack of GMO food. Syria has incredibly fertile soil, you can sow the lands over and over. Syria allows anyone to own farm animals and have them roam around the entire country, like the side of highways, in city streets, in ancient sites, in the mountains, farm animals are pretty much everywhere, and they're eating natural grass and plants and not manufactured grains. There are also specific Syrian government farming policies dating back to the 70's preparing for war with Israel, and the sanctions from the United States has made Syria a self-sustaining food resilient country.
      Further evidence is that Syria also has one of the largest seed banks in the world.
      In this video you can see Mark says Syrian shawarma and rotisserie is the best, and he just came from Turkey. Turkey is becoming more concrete and less farm as time goes on, it reduces the freshness of the flavours in the meat. Same with Lebanon. That is why Syria is number 1, there is no factory farming, it is pure, natural, hard-working, farming with the benefit of free-roaming animals.
