" Our family tried Lil' Shalom for the first time, and it was a delightful experience! I appreciated the open kitchen where you can see your food being prepared. Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor. Service was prompt and attentive, although we did wait a bit for our food during the dinner rush. Overall, we loved the meal and atmosphere enough to plan to come back for more soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried multiple Mediterranean restaurants, and I can confidently say Lil' Shalom ranks at the top! The food is authentic, and you can taste the freshness in every bite. I had the falafel wrap, and it was incredible! The atmosphere is casual, perfect for lunch or dinner. I would surely visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Lil' Shalom was quite an adventure. The first thing I noticed was how small and intimate the space felt. I thoroughly enjoyed the lentils with rice; they were so hearty. While the food was delicious, the wait time was a bit longer than anticipated. Nevertheless, I loved the unique flavors and fresh ingredients they bring to their dishes. I would visit again, hopefully with better timing! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I had known about Lil' Shalom sooner! Very cozy atmosphere and the food is exceptionally authentic. My favorite was the shakshuka—it was rich, hearty, and packed with bold flavors! The staff was enthusiastic and caring. A bit pricey, but considering the quality and authenticity, it was well worth it. I can't wait to bring my family for a meal here; it'll definitely impress them. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a treat! The lamb and chicken skewers were incredibly juicy, and the flavors were authentically Mediterranean. I sat outside and enjoyed the serene atmosphere as well. Service was quick despite being busy, and I couldn't help but have the burnt ends hummus again; it’s a must-try! I’ll spread the word about this hidden gem for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

I ordered the chicken kebab and enjoyed it thoroughly, though I felt the portion could have been larger for the price. The staff was friendly, and I appreciate the cleanliness of the place. I’d definitely recommend it to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lil' Shalom offers a unique blend of flavors that transport you straight to the Mediterranean! Their grilled items are tender and flavorful. I visited for lunch with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed sharing their unique hummus options. The atmosphere fit perfectly with the theme, though it was a bit cramped. Overall, a lovely dining experience that I would highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
