    Sham sampler - spinach pies, meat pies, cheese pies, and kibbee
    Patrick D.

    Visited my family in Pennsylvania for the holidays a while back and had a great meal here! It's an assuming local chain serving great Middle Eastern food at very reasonable prices. We started with the Sham Sampler which comes with 2 each of spinach pies, meat pies, cheese pies, and crispy meat filled kibbee with what I think were their garlic sauce and tahini which were both delicious. The kibbee was a bit on the drier side but everything was still well seasoned and tasty. For mains we shared the beef and chicken mixed kebab platter, mixed (lamb and chicken) shawarma platter, and a chicken maroosh roll. The beef and chicken kebabs were nicely seasoned with a nice chargrilled flavor, paired well with the sauces and the bed of rice and layer of grilled onions it came with. The shawarma was also very tasty, with a good portion of well marinated sliced lamb and chicken. Pound for pound the best dish though, was the chicken maroosh sandwich with a generous serving of their tasty chicken served with a a killer combo of garlic sauce and white sauce served in a slightly crisp lightly grilled long roll - the combination of flavors from the savory chicken with the garlicy creamy sauces in a perfectly crisped long roll was fantastic, and I would come back just to try the other versions of the maroosh roll with all of their other meats. Overall had a great meal here with good portions (was a total of 5 of us including my two parents and we were satisfied with the appetizer sampler + 3 entrees) and very reasonable prices. Worth a try for anyone aroudn the area!

    The hummus & pita were very good. The chicken nuggets and fries were a fam favorite. The one thing I wasn't really a fan of was the beef. It was a bit overcooked and tough. It also had an off flavor to it. I would definitely come back just not get the beef again because it just wasn't right. My husband didn't mind his as much so maybe it was just mine. The rice was good. Service was quick & friendly. It got very busy while we just arrived. It reminds of a place you'd find in NYC or Philly. Large menus and some seating. It was overall clean and definitely would come back.

    This Al Sham location is our family go to! It's near the Willow Grove (ICCWG) masjid. The location is clean and the staff is great! Everything on their menu is excellent. Lamb quesadillas- insanely amazing! The creaminess from the sauce and the lamb gyro pieces are perfect. I was never a fan of quesadillas but this has changed me. The fries are crispy. Chicken sandwiches - if Al Sham ran solely on chicken sandwiches, they would be at the top of the game and super successful. I don't know how they do it all! I think we got two versions, maybe different rubs, both were perfect. Also! We ate these 2.5 hours after picking the food up and nothing got soggy, everything stayed crispy! Highly recommend this location!

    Amazing food with great flavor and fresh ingredients. Everything we ordered tasted delicious, the portions were generous, and the place was clean and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this spot and plan to come back again.

    NY Combo, Sham Samplers
    William E.

    As a fan of Mediterranean food, this place hit my cravings in all the right spots. The NY style combo platter is so flavorful, and also quite spicy. I also tried the sham sampler, which included an assortment of small pies --some looking similar to egg rolls but filled with cheese, some looking similar to samosa but with spinach, some with meat inside, and also what seemed to be almost like falafel filled with a meat. They were all delicious, especially when paired with the sauce it came with. Overall, a very clean place with good food and exceptional service. Would recommend to anyone who wants a quick and affordable meal to enjoy during their lunch break!

    First time here but not my last. The food is full of flavor, large portions and amazing taste. The business is extremely clean and well taken care of. The NY Mix was delicious. We also tried the chicken shawarma which was full of flavor

    amazing service! delicious, fresh food. Definitely recommend trying the chicken sandwich and NY combos!

    Just had lunch at this spot. First time there , the reviews were good so we gave it a spin and were glad we did. I had the New York style chicken snd rice. The wife had the falafel dinner.. my chicken and rice as killer . Flavorful and very generous with the portion size. Loved the white sauce but just wish the "hot" sauce had a little more kick . The falafel was tasty and fried perfectly . Very well seasoned and a nice portion size. The owner was behind the counter and took our order. Very nice guy and willing to accommodate. We will be back ASAP. I need the lambs shawarma in my life .

    Picking up a to-go order! Excited to try.

    This is Al-Sham's newest location. It's in a small strip shopping center. Parking lot can get a little busy/tight but not terrible. I ordered online. Their website isn't fantastic and a little hard to navigate on mobile. I wanted my food to go through and I'm glad I ordered ahead because when I was inside I heard other people ordering at the counter to go and they were told 15-20 min wait. You can also eat there. They have a pretty decent amount of seating and it's nice, clean and well lit in there. My order was ready when I arrived. I got an order of stuffed grape leaves and a falafel pita wrap. Prices are VERY fair and servings are large. Both items were pretty good. Falafel was a tiny bit on the dry side, made a bit more sauce would be good, but still delicious. I'll be back!

    it was going to rain and I stopped by for some fresh Laughman soup…read more I can't recommend it enough. It's so delicious and hearty and so flavorful. Noodle soup with beef and vegetable vegetables, such a delicious broth and a pinch of dill on top. I'm a big fan!!! Thanks for all the hard-working people who take care of us. The chefs and the servers and everyone in between.!!

    My family and I came here with my father-in-law and absolutely loved our meal. My kid found this…read morerestaurant after searching reviews and we wanted to try a new place. Grand Slam Home Run. We found out that most of the people (regulars) who usually come here are on their vacation season so it was not an issue getting a six-top reservation with only a day's notice. The restaurant is huge with at least two mega rooms downstairs and one upstairs. We actually went to the upstairs door to check in only to be told we had to go to the downstairs door and check in there. Once we did, the staff asked if we would be ok with being in the "party" room where there would be a DJ. We were fine with that and the staff was more than happy to accommodate us. Once at our table, the extensive menus made it almost too difficult to decide what we wanted. May want to consider reducing the food options here. My wife and I split a tomahawk steak. Once we ordered it, we were told we should probably move to an eight-top because we would have more space. The place was almost empty at 6:15pm on a Saturday so we got to move and give us some more room. We also had two serving of Plov, a prime NY strip, a roasted beet salad, and a chicken fingers with fries. We added some bread, too, along with some compote. The Plov was some of the best we've ever had with lots of tender meat. Both steaks were cooked to our liking. Fries were killer and the chicken fingers were fine. I did not care for the compote as I'm used to it with fruit still in the drink. At about 7pm, the DJ started but there was no separate party which is what we thought was going to show up. The DJ sang some and played up-tempo dance music but also threw in some known music like Ob-Bla-Dee Ob-Bla-Dah from the Beatles also in the dance music style. So much fun after drinking a lot of our BYOB alcohol. Service was excellent and more than accommodating for us. He even advised when we were getting ready to leave that it was raining hard and we could stay until it died down. The restaurant is colorful with lights and designs on the walls including projector lights and white linen sheets above. The place was clean and also the bathrooms on the lower rear level. $305 not including tip for six adults which included two steaks, two Plov, chicken fingers with fries, three breads, and a compote. I mention a lot with my reviews that I'd come back to a place. I really can't wait to return to Samarkand! It was just a lot of fun with excellent food and service. I hope it's just as good when the place is slammed and full.

    I came early today to feed the supper rush…read more Service was very wonderful. Lots of staff doing their job and taking care of everyone. We ordered the baba ghanoush for an appetizer and it came with pita bread. Very delicious!! Thin for an entrée, we both ordered a chicken Shawarma! It was very delicious and fresh and the chicken was fresh, cooked to perfection and lovely flavor!! We ordered the strawberry mint lemonade and a regular mint lemonade drink. It is so fashion delicious and exciting and refreshing.. On such a hot summer day, this really was such a perfect meal. And the music was beautiful!! I would love to come back!!

    Falafel is something I crave once in a blue, and today, I remembered Bishos was walking distance…read morefrom my house. I had never been there before. I decided to order the viral crispy falafel for myself and a viral crispy chicken shawarma combo for my fiancé from Bishos. I placed my order at 4:06 PM online and walked into the store 20 minutes later. It still wasn't ready so I sat down and enjoyed the lovely ambiance inside. Plenty of seating for customers, an area for photo ops and dates and water for those participating in Ramadan were just some of the perks I noticed. The employees appeared to have been speaking Spanish and they were all friendly with one another. It's clean and airy inside. I definitely want to come back and sit down for a meal. Prices were fair - about $34 for a combo meal (with fries and drink) and my falafel wrap. That includes a service fee and a 10% tip. 15 more minutes had gone by and the woman behind the counter brought my food to me packaged tight inside a brown paper bag. When I arrived at home, that first bite into the viral crispy falafel was unreal. It was so pleasing to hear the crunch, but most importantly, it tasted amazing. The falafel was fresh and so were the other ingredients. My fiancé got the combo with French fries and I can confirm the fries are crispy and seasoned very well. This is my new go-to whenever the taste for falafel hits. Thanks, Bishos!
