" Great service and even better food! The falafel was nice and crispy, and the meals are priced fairly for the portion sizes. The cozy ambiance made it a perfect spot for a casual weekday dinner. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Shami Falafel based on rave recommendations, and it didn't disappoint! The flavors were outstanding and the dining experience felt authentic to Middle Eastern cuisine. I tried their kibbeh and it was spot on with the seasoning. The only downside was the somewhat cramped seating, but it was all part of a cozy feel. I left feeling satisfied and grateful to have discovered such a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" The falafel at Shami is truly remarkable! I ordered it to go and enjoyed it at the park, and it was just as good! The flavors are authentic and not at all bland! The only issue was the wait time. But the food is fresh, and I understand it takes time to prepare. I’ll be back, for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

The flavors were vibrant and authentic, making me feel as if I had traveled to the Middle East with every bite. The staff was nice, creating a warm atmosphere that encourages guests to stay and enjoy their time. The only downside was the seating was limited, but this is a must-visit spot nonetheless! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shami Falafel is a cozy little spot offering authentic Middle Eastern dishes. I had their tabbouleh salad and found it incredibly refreshing! 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*)
