" I popped in on a whim and had the chicken shawarma plate and wow, was I impressed! The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender. The serving size was generous, and the accompanying garlic sauce was the star of the show! A little crowded during peak hours, but definitely worth the wait for the quality of food you get.

" The garlic sauce at Al-Shami is addictive! I asked for extra with my lamb wrap, and it made the meal unforgettable. The seating is a bit tight, and I had to wait a bit for a table during peak hours, but the food is entirely worth it. Already looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first time at Al-Shami, and I really enjoyed the experience. The spicy garlic sauce was incredible and paired really well with the mixed grill platter I ordered. The only issue was the seating, which could be better organized. Still, the delicious food made it a worthwhile visit! " (*Curated Review*)
