" What a wonderful place! Al Sham Palace did not disappoint me in any way. The food was rich and steeped in flavor, especially their chicken shawarma. The portion sizes were perfect; I couldn’t finish my plate! Even the atmosphere was warm, filled with lovely Middle Eastern music that complemented the meal beautifully. The servers were attentive without being intrusive; they checked in without overwhelming us. I can't wait to return—I'm already craving their falafel and hummus again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hopeful for a great experience based on the reviews, but my visit was somewhat disappointing. The food was decent; I enjoyed the grape leaves and the falafel was acceptable, but didn't blow me away. I had higher expectations for the shawarma; it was merely passable and didn't taste fresh. The ambiance is nice, giving off a cozy vibe, but the service left a lot to be desired. My server was distracted and forgot our appetizer, which took away from the experience. While I might consider giving this place another shot, I can’t say it’s at the top of my list at this moment. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an unforgettable night at Al Sham Palace! I took my family there to celebrate a special occasion, and they did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and a beautiful setting filled with Middle Eastern decor that adds to the atmosphere. Each dish we ordered was a standout! The mixed grill was a feast with perfectly spiced meats, and the presentation was top-notch. The service was impeccable; our server was attentive without being intrusive. The only drawback was the long wait for our desserts, but the baklava was worth every minute. It’s a restaurant that truly embodies the spirit of Middle Eastern hospitality! We will certainly be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Al Sham Palace! Their food brings together so many flavors that just dance on your tongue. I love starting with the mezze platter, which has everything from hummus to baba ghanouj. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making you feel like family. I find the dining area to be clean and decorated in a way that truly transports you to another place. My only complaint is that they sometimes run low on my favorite desserts, but I guess that just means they're that popular! Make a reservation if you're going on the weekend. " (*Curated Review*)

" Al Sham Palace is an amazing spot for family gatherings! With ample space and an extensive menu, there’s something for everyone. What stood out most was the friendly service, the staff were attentive and happy to help us choose meals. The food we ordered came out quickly; we enjoyed their chicken kebab and lentil soup, both very flavorful. Decorated in a lovely warm style, it accentuates a relaxing dining experience. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a great Middle Eastern meal! We'll certainly return for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Al Sham Palace exceeded my expectations for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. The flavors were vibrant, and the customer service was proactive, asking if we needed anything at all times. The chicken and beef skewers were juicy, marinated, and grilled to perfection. The ambiance gave me a taste of Middle Eastern culture with its decor and music. Although menu choices are limited, it’s clear they focus on quality over quantity. I’m happy to recommend this treasure to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" Al Sham Palace has become my go-to spot for reliable Mediterranean cuisine. I appreciate how fresh and vibrant all their dishes are; you can tell they care about quality. I often get the falafel wrap, and it's always packed with flavor! The environment is welcoming, though it can get a bit loud during peak hours, which detracts slightly from the atmosphere. Despite this, the owners are incredibly nice, and it's always a pleasure to chat with them. They have a variety of vegetarian options, which is a big plus for my friends. Highly recommend making a trip if you’re in the area. " (*Curated Review*)
