" My family and I had dinner here last weekend. We were drawn in by the pleasant atmosphere. The hummus was fresh and creamy, while the lamb was tender and perfectly seasoned—it was evident they know how to prepare their meat! One drawback was the wait time, which was longer than anticipated, but the food made it about right. For a lively dining experience with authentic cuisine, I encourage everyone to try Salam! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been craving good falafel and Salam did not disappoint! They exceeded my expectations with their crispy falafel wrap, which came perfectly seasoned, just the way I like it. The staff was welcoming and the atmosphere had a good vibe. My only suggestion is that they could improve on speed during the lunch rush. All in all, I’d highly recommend it if you're in a hurry but still want good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a rather poor experience during my last visit to Salam. The food was mediocre at best. I tried their fried kibbeh, and they were dry and lacked flavor. Unfortunately, the staff didn’t seem very engaged, and we had to wait longer than expected. I won’t be coming back anytime soon—definitely not living up to its reputation. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a customer of Salam Restaurant for years and keep coming back! Their kebabs are fantastic, grilled to perfection with lots of authentic spices. The staff is friendly, and they make you feel at home. Make sure to try the hummus—it’s incredibly creamy! The only downside is that during peak hours, the place can get a bit crowded, and service time can be slow. But don't let that detour you; it's still worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to give Salam Restaurant a try after hearing so many good reviews about their Palestinian dishes. I ordered the maqlooba and it was phenomenal! Full of flavors and beautifully presented, it truly brought me back home. The environment is also very welcoming. However, I faced some issues with the order taking longer than I’d hoped, and it seemed they were short-staffed. Still, the food was worth it, and I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having visited Salam over a year ago, I decided to come back for a lunch takeout. I got the chicken kebab and was thrilled, it was tender and juicy! The portion was good and very satisfying. The atmosphere when you dine in is lovely and laid-back. The service? Semi-slow during rush hours; that's my only note! Overall, still one of the better Middle Eastern restaurants in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t say enough good things about my experience at Salam. The food was fabulous! I particularly enjoyed the spicy chicken wrap and garlic sauce—it was deliciously addicting! The ambiance is lively which greatly contributed to a fun mealtime atmosphere. My only minor complaint was with the waiting staff who seemed a bit overwhelmed, but overall an excellent visit!
