" I recently ordered a mixed platter for takeout from Shami Falafel and it was an experience to remember! The platter included falafels, chicken shawarma, and an assortment of dips. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, reminding me of the meals from my childhood. The staff was friendly, and even though they were busy, they made sure to accommodate my requests. I appreciated the generous portions as well; I could barely finish it! Overall, a fantastic spot that deserves all the praise it gets! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic find in Hackensack! I was on my lunch break and decided to try Shami Falafel. The service was quick, and the staff were truly delightful.

The restaurant's atmosphere is charming, and it feels very family-oriented which I appreciate. I’m definitely coming back to try more dishes soon! " (*Curated Review*)

The shawarma was flavorful but could have benefited from a bit more seasoning. The staff are really friendly, making for a pleasant dining experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)
