" I visited Al Shami last week, and it was just okay. While the food was decent, it wasn't as flavorful as I had anticipated based on the reviews. The service was friendly, but our meals took longer than expected. The restaurant itself was tidy, but the atmosphere felt a bit too busy. I might return to give it another shot, but I wasn’t wowed this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of my last dining experiences at Al Shami involved a bit of a wait despite the restaurant not being busy. However, when the food finally arrived—the wait was worth it! The kebabs were succulent and the flavors just burst in your mouth. I still love the authentic touch and will most certainly return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Al Shami is a delightful place for lovers of Arabic cuisine! The flavors, especially in the chicken dishes, are authentic and incredibly inviting. Even the environment is friendly and welcoming. I had a great experience overall; I left feeling full and happy. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic find! Al Shami blew me away with their authentic flavors and incredible selection. I loved their kebabs paired with the tangy tzatziki, which complemented the meat perfectly. The whole place was immaculate, and the staff was always smiling. If you are looking for a delicious meal that feels home-cooked, this is your spot. I’ll certainly be back with friends to share more of this delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Al Shami and wow, I was impressed! The grilled chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the portion sizes are worth every penny. I brought my friends, and we shared a few dishes, including the grape leaves and fattoush salad, both of which were delightful! The atmosphere was quite enjoyable, a lovely mix of chatter and relaxing music. Our server was prompt and friendly, truly enhancing our dining experience. I’ll definitely be back soon for another round of their delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Al Shami and let me tell you, it was a game changer for Middle Eastern cuisine in Jacksonville! Their tabouleh salad was so fresh, and the garlic sauce added the perfect kick to everything I tried. I also had the mixed grill platter, which was generous and loaded with flavor. The staff was exceptionally attentive, ensuring that our cups were always filled with water and checking in on us frequently. I can easily say this place is a must-visit if you love authentic Arabic dishes. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Al Shami felt like stepping into a little piece of the Middle East! The flavors were authentic and everything I tasted felt homemade. The lamb was perfectly cooked, and the ambiance made it so pleasant to enjoy my meal. Even though the service was a bit slow, the delicious food made up for it. I will definitely be going back!
