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! read more

As far as falafel goes, I've had way way better, but... it's not the breadcrumb filled bland chickpea ball that a lot of places seem to be serving up these days. Their hummus and tahini sauce are almost the same taste, meaning there is too much tahini in their hummus. The pickles in the wrap added a nice pinch of salt and acid though but overall, it's lacking the balance of flavors that I've gotten elsewhere. The place has a nice amount of seating and the staff is very friendly. They also always have deals going on so it's a great place to keep up with! read more

My first time here at Al Sham 6. I placed an order was told it would be 20 minutes. I get there 20 minutes later my food wasnt even placed on the grill yet. Totally forgotten about. 2 employees working. 50 minutes still no food, service here sucks. I'm patient but 1hr for food???. read more

I don't typically have Middle Eastern food, but enjoy the opportunity to indulge in it. I ordered the beef kofta with french fries. This was a very filling meal, and the sauce elevated the meal. However, I felt like the meat was slightly dry. I don't know if this is typical for Middle Eastern food, but it needed more sauce or something. Service is very nice and the restaurant was clean. I would be open to trying a different dish at this restaurant. read more

Al Sham - New American Near Me - Willow Grove, Pennsylvania

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. read more

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! read more

Wonderful flavors and menu!!! My new favorite restaurant. They are halal and offer meals deals for those of us on a budget. The staff were welcoming and very helpful with choosing a meal. The baklava is probably the BEST I have ever had. The restaurant and restroom was super clean and free from clutter. I think my favorite part besides the food and how quick the staff worked was the many different cultures of people coming to pick up food or dine-in. The samosas were delicious and flaky with a nice green, cilantro-y sauce. The pita was fresh and went nicely with the hummus and garlic sauce. I was recommended to try the pineapple Barbican malt drink (non-alcoholic) which was sooo tasty and not overly sweet. The mango lassi was a bit sour, but I think that's because they don't add a ton of sweetener. read more

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! read more

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 . read more

Great place! We heard there were a few other locations so the menu does vary from location to location however the one here in willow grove is fantastic! Everytime we have come in, the food and service doesn't disappoint. It's fast and delicious, can't ask for more! We love the falafels, it's never dry, fresh and warm! The tahini that comes with it is chefs kiss. We have also gotten the ny platter, great portions for that any schwarma platters. The only thing that could be bigger is the gyros! They're a bit smaller than we normally get at other places but still very good. I loved the salad here, the fattoush! Lemon dressing was so good! My husband also got the samosas that had a lot of flavor. We plan on coming back and trying as many things as we can! read more

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! read more

Great menu options and the red hot sauce packs some serious heat. The green hot sauce tastes similar to Indian green chutney. The shawarma was fresh and the toppings were delicious with the sauce. The meat could've been tastier but I'm willing to give it another shot. I plane on getting the chicken maroosh sandwich next time. The staff was very friendly. Can't wait to try something else in the menu. read more

First time visiting this location and we were not disappointed. Called our order in and was given a pick up time, arrived at the restaurant and our food was being bagged up. Nothing better than when your given a pick up time and your order is actually ready. All of the food was delicious, we are very happy this location is open. If you're looking for great tasting halal food definitely order from Al Sham in Willow Grove. Friendly staff, clean dining area, and fast take out options. read more

Really decent place with good shawarma!

Al Sham - 2 Piece Lamb Chops Entree - New American Near Me - Willow Grove, Pennsylvania

I got the New York chicken over rice with onions from the Al Sham Restaurant and when I ate the food it made me sick. I will never recommend this place to anyone the place was clean and the service was good but I wish that their food was fresh it was my first time coming to this place and I thought that I should check it out they don't even deserve good feedback. I had diarrhea after eating this food. read more

This place is a great addition to the local cuisine choices. I've been here about three times so far and had excellent and friendly service each time. All visits were for takeout. Some of the food is a bit on the bland side (Shawarma), but still very good. The menu is huge and the restaurant itself seems extremely clean and well organized. Try it! read more

Very friendly service! Food is delicious too. Seemed a bit pricier than typical halal but this place gives you pretty heavy portions so it was worth the money. read more

Love this place... I am 100% plant-based - they have excellent falafel that you could have over nice fresh Arabic salads with homemade mint dressing and incredible homemade hot sauce. I've eaten here. Several times at the Falafel is extremely consistent. Always very fresh and crispy and all the produce on the salad. It is always extremely fresh and me to order. Shout out to the nice young manager guy who always takes care of me... Thank you read more

The place is ok the food is a little overpriced I had NYC chicken with rice the taste is off. The chicken had too much fat you can taste and chew it ew. They gave me hummus mind you I order just NYC chicken I asked wow why $16 for chicken over rice oh prices are high mind you, she did not tell me she gave me a side of hummus and charged me for it. Mind you I said oh how come to even New York does t charge this much for this I guess it was a miscommunication Lol the Communication is a little issue but overall I wish them luck this place isn't for me . read more

Pretty good. Ordered online directly from their website. Pretty easy to do. Got an order of NY Combo and NY Chicken. Didn't know it was spicy, but my kid who didn't normally eat spicy liked it! One entree was pretty big. The chicken and lamb were cooked perfectly. The sauce was poured over the entire entree so it was perfectly seasoned and sauced. Hubby got the Shawarma combo entree. The sauce was on the side so it was a bit dry for him. The meat was good, just need more sauce. Definitely recommend the NY Combo. read more

Al Sham - Amazing Lamb Shawerma Sandwich from Al-Sham! - New American Near Me - Willow Grove, Pennsylvania

My boyfriend and I tried this place a few weeks ago for the first time and were HUGE fans! It was a bonus to learn they were a family-run business as well, and we were happy to support. We ordered the beef and veggie samosas, falafel, and NY lamb and chicken platters. It was all full of flavor! This time around, we decided to stick with what we knew was good, but were surprisingly underwhelmed by the chicken platter. It was bland and the chicken was very chewy. My boyfriend called to let them know, and the man we spoke to seemed very eager for our feedback. He even insisted on dropping off a replacement entree of our choice at our residence! When he arrived, he asked specifically for our thoughts on the dish so that he could follow up with his staff. We were impressed by his oppenness and willingness to go above and beyond to satisfy a customer. We let him know that the meal in no way deterred us from revisiting, and that we were big fans of their restaurant (and continue to be!) It is obvious the Al Sham team take pride in the quality of their service. Two thumbs up! read more

Best shawarma chicken I had in the USA!! The prices were extremely reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food. I will definitely be returning to this place in the future. I also appreciated the variety of options on the menu, from vegetarian choices to meat-based dishes, there was something for everyone. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious food, great service, and affordable prices. read more

An unexpected find. Needed a spot for a quick lunch after a morning sitting with a loved one at Abington Hospital, and the Yelp reviews were promising. They were right -- a large menu, food was delicious, and the folks behind the counter were friendly. I grew up in Willow Grove, and there was nothing like this in my day. read more
