Al-Shami is the BEST Mediterranean restaurant in Rhode Island, HANDS DOWN!! I genuinely don’t think it’s possible to order something bad here. Every single thing we’ve tried is insanely good and so fresh! I’m literally eating my leftovers as I type this because I felt so compelled to leave a review mid-bite. That’s how good it is!

This is honestly the best shawarma I’ve ever had! The meat is juicy, the vegetables are fresh, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. On top of that, the service is amazing – the girl who cooks and serves does everything with such care and friendliness. Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and top-notch service – I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!

Wow, just wow I wish I had pictures but me and my partner consumed this two shawarma so quickly and im just amazed. I highly recommend getting the garlic sauce it was so good. We got the chicken and lamb and it was just Devine all the filling and veggies was so perfect this was what I’ve been searching for ! No regrets I need to come here again.

Absolutely phenomenal. This Syrian restaurant served some of the most soulful, flavor-packed food I’ve had in a long time. Every bite tasted like it was made with love and tradition passed down through generations. The kibbeh was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, paired with a cool garlic dip that tied it all together beautifully. The falafel? Crispy, fragrant, and absolutely bursting with flavor. And the shawarma wrap? A masterpiece. Juicy chicken, tender lamb, fresh veggies, crispy fries inside. Every layer was cooked and seasoned to perfection. This isn’t fast food. This is food made straight from the heart. You can taste the care in every detail. Will definitely be back!
