Amazing experience when it comes to Arabic Food however you have to be careful while ordering western dishes. We ordered steak with black pepper and it was not upto the mark at all

Good place . But the quality has reduced by years . The quantity servers is very low on mix kabab. They need to change the bill language they are providing the bill in Arabic.

Ya. Its a good and neat hotel.With both outdoor and indoor dinning available. I prefer outdoor.So you can hear the music and watch the glittering lights and feel good mood.But now way to take eat at daylightWe had one set of chicken madfuon. With sides of olive, beetroot,chilly and cauli salted. With 1/2 portion of soup and some raw veggies.Comaparing to normal manshi it have a special kind of tomato smashed masala without any spicy touch. I dont prefer to order this. All the F&B team is good mannered.Indoor hand wash is available.We will get a hot mint tea after meal.which will heal all the negatives. They are not providing normal water.And the next day we tried shawarma. It was normal arabic shawarma quite good and I feels belly full. Big PCs and mayos are not spreaded equally... Else all good.we were 2 among us one got carbon higlighted romali.And we tasted the biscuit ice cream of London diary.It was also good and tastes somewhere like chocolate.

Great place for authentic Syrian cuisine. Highly recommend their Syrian style fava beans (Foul)Their falafel won’t disappoint you either; crispy from the outside and fluffy and tender from the inside. Their fatteh was too warm for my liking. Also tried their pastries, really tasty but we were already full so cannot really judge as we barely had a couple of bites. Place really light on the pocket (110 AED for three persons)5 stars & definitely going there again.

Went here for having shawarma the first time. Man oh man, I wasn’t expecting it to be a foot long and also thick. It was super good and hard to put down although we were full with just one shawarma.Their customer service is really polite and kind and the staff is well mannered and so understanding along with thoughtful to your needs.

Very disappointed, we used to eat at this place for many many years.. now the food quality is below average. Nice staff and very helpful, but food has no taste at all.. I am sure the management has changed, but, not anymore for me.. Good Bye Al Shami restaurant ✋🏻

Review №21

I visited Al Shami last weekend with my brother. We had heard really good things about their breakfast.We ordered a platter of falafel, a platter of chicken shawarma and hummus.I can easily say these were the super fresh-est falafels I’ve had in the last couple of months. They were extremely delicious. I would go there again just to have there falafels. 10/10!As for the chicken shawarma platter - I’m not sure what went wrong. It wasn’t as hot as a shawarma is expected to be. Could tell it was prepared about 20-30 mins prior to being served (maybe I’m wrong). Additionally, the shawarmas are usually juicy and soft. This wasn’t. I’ll definitely not order a shawarma next time I’m there. 4/10Hummus - I’ve had better hummus is tonnes of places all over Dubai. It wasn’t how the average hummus tastes. Might order it again but not a fan. 6/10We also ordered cocktail juices. I think they could definitely do better in terms of fruits used. 5/10We did get a full platter or complimentary fresh salad as a starter and mint tea towards the end of the meal. Mint tea was 👌 10/10All in all, I will go back for falafels and their mint tea!

I am extremely disappointed with the restaurant and the staff. My son, who does not speak Arabic, went to order a shawerma sandwich. He paid for it and was left waiting for over 20 minutes for the sandwich. When my husband went in to see what was happening, he saw that the two men there, one was at the cashier, the second was the Shawerma guy, were talking and completely ignoring my son. When he spoke them in Arabic, they told him that they hadn’t prepared the sandwich. He asked them why, as the restaurant was empty. They started mumbling and when he asked them if it was because our son didn’t speak Arabic, they just stared at him and made excuses. We have never had this experience in Dubai. The racism and lack of respect that you have shown our son is disgusting. You do not deserve anyone’s business.

Review №26

Seems the staff in the morning dont respect their customers. Am not sure why!! Ist because the owner is not there. ! They keep the customer waiting and not making the order and drinking tea after they ask you to pay !and when u asked them where the order!!! The answer was soon. And the truth is the stuff drinking tea and none of them bothering to do it. Pulse they dont respect the other culture. never again

This is a middle Eastern restaurant and the food here is incredibly good, and the prices are very reasonable. Its a popular place, the seating is great, the view is good, and they use fresh ingredients and fresh fish. Every time Im in their section of town I eat at this restaurant.

Real Sham regional food with mouthwatering arabic flavoured dishes in arabic themed house ambiance and friendly staff with great service sense, this Restaurant represent real piece of arabic taste not only in food but also on the hospitality side and generous atmosphere.

Review №38

Authentic Arabic cuisine is what you order at this place. We ordered the all time favorite mixed grill and as expected it was one sumptuous and heavy meal🥘 ... Starting from the hummus to the sulaimani, everything was perfect. The freshly prepared hot fluffy breads dipped in the hummus tastes so good😃 Overall, a good experience but a bit heavy on the wallet ranging about 140-150 Dhs for two individuals.

The place offers you a great customer care service and you can sit inside or outside based on your wish and probably the weather too. A very big menu is proposed and with the choice of a soft drink because the alcohol is not that much allowed

Review №46

The best in all of Dubai!!!!!! After leaving Dubai, everytime I get hungry, I crave Al Shamis food. I tried everything kn their menu almost and everything was delicious. The staff, Emad and Zaki, and all of them were excellent and nice. I cant wait for my next visit to go have breakfast over there. For your first time, try the shami plate. It will give you a taste of almost everytjing they have for breakfast, and if you want to tey the most delicious dish, try the fatta. What a geat dish. They also open 24/7 which makes it more convenient for someone like me who came from North America and is deprived of good food to get food anytime I want.I love it! Good job

Very nice restaurant! Huge portions (you wont leave hungry!) for a low price. Friendly staff as well. Chicken was a tad burnt but everything else was great. I give my sincerest recommendations. You should especially try the Al Shami Appetizer Plate.

Review №60

The cashier who is always at the left cashier and wearing glasses is rude towards the customer. I encountered his rudeness not only once, not twice but really more than enough for me to make this review. I dont like his attitude, kindly educate him; he should be courteous at all the time and kindly smile. You lack of customer service.

Review №66

Well I have to be honest and the food is great and tasty...Even the service is very good. They have indoor and outdoor seating area.. They serve Buffet during Ramadan.But I find it expensive..I went with my wife.. ordered mix grill for 2 and it was 100 Dirhams...plus one mixed appetizers 60 dhs..plus 2 soup and water bottle ...the bill was 210 dhs for two people...I can dine in 5 star rest or any hotel using ENTERTAINER for same price...and btw the buffet was 85. So 1 mix grill is more expensive than the whole buffet which include mixed grill.

Eaten here too many times.Breakfast a few times, turkish coffee every time i pass by.The food here is good too.I have nothing particularly to pick, their meat products are good.When my wife was new in town, this is where i took her first to try out muttabal and baba ghanoush and she really liked it. They serve fresh bread.Their sandwiches, specially the falafel sandwich is worth trying.
