Kofta Kobab was actually an unedible form of seekh Kobab. Beef Kobab were not marinated and were hard to chew. Tandoori Chicken was reddish but tastless. Cheese burger was ok. They charged extra for dining in. Waste of money and time.

Al-Sham used to be our favorite restaurant. The food is good and the variety of options is very nice. We have been here more then a dozen times. We have always sat inside which is usually quieter and nicer and much better for families or a group of girls. The last time we went there they charged us 15% extra on our bill! They didn\'t bring us out water (even though we asked), and instructed us to get whatever we want from the fridge to drink....then we also went out to get ourselves napkins and straws and pay the bill. The server only approached us once to bring out the good and paper plates. I tipped them 15% anyway. And after charging the credit chard she charged me an additional 15% service charge. I contacted them thru Facebook but they did not reach back. So I would recommend this place in terms of food, however the prices are high and don\'t sit inside unless you want to be charged an extra 15%.

Good food. But BEWARE that if you want to sit on the nice side they will charge you 15% extra, without telling you, and without putting it on your receipt. They'll add it to your credit card total after you tip them. So beware!

After watching the sameerseats video, I was hoping to try out the shawarma biryanai, which I found out they didn't have. I would have been disappointed if it wasn't for their amazing lamb chops and NY chicken and rice! There is also a halal meat store next door so while you are waiting for your food you can shop there. We will definitely come here again and try out their other dishes.

I ate lunch here yesterday. I ordered the chicken kabob over rice which was really good. Service was a bit slow, but they had a large party in the reserved area so I guess they were concentrating on that.

I heard of this place from my freind. He suggested me to try cuz he always rave about them. So I took my wife out for dinner. To start I ordered the mixed taste recommended by one of the staff. Yum it was a good start a little of hummus,baba Ghanouj, Tabouli n more...lol. I can't remember but only the great taste. I ordered the New York chicken over rice...wow! I love it...whatever that white sauce is...it was tasty! My wife ordered the chicken kebab entree...she said it was the best tastiest kebab she had. We'll be going back :)
