Okay, so I finally checked out Al Sham, and wow, I'm still thinking about it! Seriously, this place is a total gem. From the second I walked in, I was digging the vibe – it's got this cool mix of modern and traditional, which just makes you feel good, you know? But let's get to the real deal: the food.

For my main course, I went with the grilled kebabs, and they were seriously amazing. So juicy and flavorful – I could've eaten them all night! The staff was super friendly and helpful, too. They knew their stuff and made some great recommendations. Honestly, Al Sham is more than just a restaurant; i

UPDATE: The owner reached out personally within hours to address my concerns regarding consistency. As a former restaurant professional, I really value an owner who takes direct accountability and is proactive about kitchen standards.

Tried the combo shawarma tbh it wasn't good could definitely improve it was dry bread was cold very less sauce then tried the new york al sham style combo over rice which was the best thing especially if you love spicy
