The (Current) Largest Restaurant in the World

Syria’s Damascus Gate restaurant has recently been certified by Guinness as the “World’s largest restaurant”, stealing the crown from Thailand’s (previously featured) Mang Gorn Luang.

Seating up to 6014 diners at one time, it easily tops the previous holder’s 5000 capacity.

Damascus Gate employees 1800 members of staff to cover the 54000 m2 outside seating area, which is decorated with waterfalls, ponds, and replica archaeological monuments.
