Fantastic little shop in south salt lake. I didn't expect a decent value and ordered way too much food, fortunately all the food was fantastic. I really enjoyed the sauces, the flavors and the experience. The server was incredibly nice and happy to guide us through the menu. I'm not an expert on Middle Eastern food, but the flavors are really approachable and fresh breads are always hard to turn down. I'll definitely be back to try more menu items. read more

Family owned Middle Eastern food with authentic flavors and variety that you will not find anywhere else in Salt Lake City. Everything except the bread (made at a local bakery down the street) is made fresh on site...even the Shawarma is made in the traditional style. I highly recommend the lamb and chicken tikka kebab. Only place where I can get fresh muhammara. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for a while now, and I am sad to say that our most recent take-home order was greatly disappointing. While the food tastes decent, we had ordered the appetizer combo, which comes with a choice of four appetizers. It was about $26. This price is outrageous for the little that we got. We received one Samosa and about a fourth of what you would regularly get with a normal order. You would get more bang for your buck if you just order the normal appetizers instead of the sampler. I even called the restaurant to double check that they had not accidentally made a mistake, and the person I spoke with confirmed that the quantity we received was correct. He then went onto explain that the online company that puts up their restaurant menu has not updated the menu. I feel like this explanation is weak because a restaurant should not surprise customers with a food quality and price change like this. The price does not match the quantity that you get, and I feel cheated. Because of this outrageous issue, I will not be coming here until they match the quantity of food with the price. read more

Due to my grain allergy there are only a handful of restaurants where I can eat. Shanashel Mediterranean Cuisine is one of them. They prep everything, including the shwarma, in house. My personal favorite is the hummus, falafel & Tikka chicken. We eat here at least twice a month. If you are in the Salt Lake Valley and enjoy middle eastern cuisine I highly recommend. Recently, we had a large family gathering of 20 people, and the staff handled it wonderfully. Our server was attentive and friendly, making sure everyone was taken care of. The food is made fresh daily and always tastes great. Since everything is prepared to order, it can take a little time, but it's well worth the wait for the quality. Be sure to order the tea &/or coffee. read more

Great food Places big, nice and clean !! Fast service and friendly. Garlic sauce is the read more

Authentic food!! I can vouch for its authenticity because I grew up in that part of the world. Very friendly and welcoming service. Booth seating wasn't comfortable for me personally, but the general atmosphere was pleasant. read more

New favorite grab and go! Well, its not truly a preprepped place, but finally zipping in and ordering a falafel wrap didnt take long at all. I was pleasantly surprised with the flavors packed in this ten inch long wrap. A little Tahini on the side was the perfect accent. Perusing the menu informed me of many vegetarian options, and a breakfast menu! I'll be back to try more offerings! Great space - warm welcome. read more

Beautifully decorated & clean restaurant with lots of natural lights coming in from the glass walls. My husband drops by here once in 2-3 months Today I ordered our usual, the Mix Grill with Rice and Salad for three ($55.99). Their serving/portion size is very generous! They put so much meat in it that 6 of us were able to share it easily. Really enjoy their food, and will recommend my friends to check this place out! read more

Best labneh in Salt Lake City, my favorite. Portion size is much better here. They have a very large menu that hits Lebanese, Persian, Arab. I believe it's family ran, I see the same people each time and they are always kind. Perfect space for large groups. Large booths, plenty of tables. I loooove that they are on Uber east. My go to is the fried chicken and the chicken shawarma wrap Arab style. Plates are large. read more

This was my first time at Shanasheel, and I was impressed. My grandparents immigrated from Lebanon to Brazil, so I grew up with both Arabic and Portuguese at home. Although we eventually stopped learning Arabic, the food was like this one at Shanasheel. Authentic in all aspects! Some dishes I like are not on the menu Shishbarak (yogurt soup with dumplings) and sfiha, but they said the attentive staff took note. The ambiance is nice, clean, and relaxing. Great service, great food. read more

I've been curious about this place and decided to place a pick up order on a whim. I got the Mix for 3 which included a variety of meats over a hefty bed of rice and some roasted veggies (I believe it had the tikka chicken, beef pieces, chicken and beef kabobs). The meat was tender and rice was so fluffy! I really recommend it here!! read more

I just had lunch here and fully agree with the 2 previous reviews . The food is incredibly delicious, and with a very generous size serving ( took half of mine home / it could be another lunch ) However the only negative was the service being beyond painfully s l o w. I do however , think they are newly opened and maybe just need to work the kinks out - then it will be top notch ! Best wishes read more

Shanasheel Grill - The mixed grill ( for one ) lol - Mediterranean Near Me - Millcreek, Utah

Wow!!! I went here with my husband and we shared a plate for two people the meat was so good and the bread huge. The fries excellent and our server was nice we told her it was our first time she made us feel comfortable. I loved the music they played and the place was nice decorated. Plenty of seating I heard this place can get real busy. Price was reasonable glad we shared the plate we still had leftovers. Parking was not too bad either and it easy to get to. Overall I would go again! read more

It was such a great experience here. Service was great, super friendly, and very attentive. The food was hot and so yummy. We came here for the lamb shank, and it didn't disappoint. Shank came out so juicy and steaming hot with a side of rice. Rice was just ok. The mix for one was more like mix for 2 or 3, with a huge portion of mixed meat and rice. read more

I've been twice in the last two weeks, my friend recommended me this restaurant and really have delicious food. I have tried as today, Lentil Soup, Fried Chicken Thighs, it's fried with their own species, there is an Eggplant steel that is to die for, Beef and Lamb Kebab, Mango Smothie. Honestly they have excellent food. read more

Food was good, but service very poor. Waitress clueless about the service industry and could not understand the basic needs of plates, utensiles, etc. What I found really upsetting was the fact that I left my CC behind. Called the restaurant later that day and left a message to call me ASAP to arrange for me to pick back up. That call never came which would explain why the would be thief went on a spending spree running a tab up of $5000 before my bank shut it down. That being said, I can only say AVOID this place and their dishonest methods. read more

Unfortunately as much as I try and tried to support Shanasheel Grill ,I get disappointed! Dec/10/2022 We ordered multiple food items , grilled fish tasted bitter and very old ( it have been deep frozen for along time to the point the inner fish meat discolored and no longer white , as the fish looked and tasted bad ) Shawarma on top of Hummus - Hummus was okay ,Shawarma tasted old meat have been heated ( it was not freshly cooked , it taste from last night or two nights before and heated in a microwave then put on top of Hummus )The other items we ordered was good. "Shocking behavior" we brought the issue to the server , she just said okay ! I requested the manager ( she said manager will be here 7:30 pm ( it was 3:30 pm ) so someone else came in she apologized and she said she will replace the fish with Lamb Tikka as the fish they have might be spoiled I accepted the offer and thanked them .. THEN someone else came to our table . Said :the fish more than one bite on it so no replacement no refund!!! I am like sorry who is this ( said it was the mother of the manager and she wouldn't honor the other lady work their offer ). Well thank you mother of the manager for the rotten fish and old shawarma. read more

Shanasheel Grill - The rest of my food to go - Mediterranean Near Me - Millcreek, Utah

This place is such a hidden gem. The chicken tikka plate is our favorite. They are so fast and nice! Keep it up.

Ahmazing food! Have to admit I was skeptical when we got to the place and there was no one there. Service was great as it was very personable, I have trust that the female server (bummed I cannot remember her name) does treat all her customers the same, friendly yet professional manner. She was very sweet. I enjoyed looking at the different arts they have hanging and the light fixtures were so pretty. The music she was playing definitely added to the authentic vibe in the restaurant. The fried whole fish was soooo delicious and cooked perfectly. The skin on the grilled chicken was yummy and the beef kabab was so falvorful. We both shared all three plates, and were both so full and had to take the rest home with us. This place needs more love and support from their community, its certainly underrated. Would I go back? 100% yes.. well when I'm back in SLC. read more

A phenomenal restaurant in our humble opinion. When my family is in town, it makes four of us so we order the Mix for Four. It comes with a little bit of everything, a salad for each person, all the different meats that are offered on the menu on a bed of rice with peppers onions and tomatoes. We all enjoy each type of meat they offer from the chicken shawarma to the lamb kebabs. If you order your meal without garlic sauce you're seriously missing out. I can't believe I've never taken a picture but it fed four people who absolutely over ate. Then it provided six more meals from the leftovers! It's so worth it. As a mediterranean family we love the ambiance of the restaurant, it brings us back to our own culture that we don't really have here in Utah. My only quarrel with the restaurant is the service. We expect to wait forever, get forgotten and quite frankly ignored. Each visit has been like this and each time without fail we don't get our waters for about 20/30 minutes. With that being said I'd give this place the fifth star if they gave me even mediocre service, the foods been worth it to us and we keep coming back. read more

Shanasheel Grill - Chicken Kabob Plate ‍ - Mediterranean Near Me - Millcreek, Utah

The food looks very appetizing but in reality it tastes like armpit and dove soap. My first red flag was the fact that I was the only person in the room but then I could also hear my food being microwaved in the back which I normally don't mind microwaved food, but it's only okay if it still tastes good but in this case it did not. The only good thing about this place is the serving staff is really kind. If you are ever considering eating here you should probably turn around and go to the tandoor Indian grill next door it's great. read more

Shanasheel Grill - Beef Shawarma Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Millcreek, Utah

Went there a few days ago to try it, and will never be back. Menu is misleading and ambiguous, whether on purpose or not. My wife had ordered an eggplant dish, and the waitress asked whether she wanted it with meat or vegetarian. When the dish arrived it only had a few potatoes and onions, no meat and it turned out, no eggplants. When we mentioned that to the waitress, she just said it was either meat + eggplant, or vegetarian, as if eggplant was not a veggie. In addition, the minuscule serving of hummus came with only 4 equally minuscule pieces of pita bread, and when we order more bread, they charged us extra. In addition, the food was bland, and the meat I had tough. We definitely do not recommend. read more

Went there on a random weekend and I'm glad I did. They have one of the cleanest restaurants I've been to. The service was great and the food was even better. read more

My family loves this place for its authentic savory flavors of the Middle East. I lived in the Middle East a long time ago and am always looking for that taste of shewarma that we bought as street food; these shewarma are the real deal. We also like the labneh and hummus along with the pita bread. read more

I ordered my food to go and they did not get either of the two plates I ordered correct. They left off half my order for one and the chicken on the other was extremely overcooked. Other than that the things that were there had an ok flavor but the cons outweighed the pros in my eyes. read more

Multiple order placed reveals they're unable to follow simple instructions. Thanks though.

The food was really good, a taste of back home. I had the mix platter for two and it was plenty for my wife and I. The lamb and beef kebab are delicious and probably the best thing on the menu. I loved it a lot and service was great. read more

Amazing food good drinks and great service. All in all a very great business model I support restaurants like this we need more of this in our society. read more

Wayyyyy over priced and the food is subpar. Will never go here again. Just go down the street to The Med, it's much better and the prices are reasonable. read more

The people are really kind! The food is awesome. I highly recommend. It's one of the better Middle eastern restaurants I have been to.

Been here a few times and the food is good, but I was there yesterday for lunch and ordered a shawarma sandwich with no fries which as stated on their menu includes cabbage, tomatoes and pickles. I was disappointed when it arrived and the only items in the sand which were pickles and chicken. I spoke to the server and he brought me the sides, this was only after being confused at my request and brining me a side of fries. The server was not very attentive and I had to flag him down for our check. I requested the check be separated, it wasn't. In addition I was charged $5 for the items listed on the menu as being included with my sandwich. I paid $15 for a sandwich that is usually $8.99. Food is good, but very poor service, won't be going back. read more

Super disappointed with their customer service and food. Advised their waitress/hostess I had gluten allergies prior to ordering, was told certain items were gluten free after confirming with their chef, $60 bill and 2 hours later I was sick for 3 days. Never going back. I'm middle eastern and have eaten at other middle eastern establishments that promote real gluten free items and I've never once gotten sick. Worse bamia and falafel I've ever had too. read more

The food was great and their hospitality skills are amazing I would recommend coming here. And the decor made us feel homely.

They make great food, have great service amd a clean, comfortable setting. Would come back anytime!

The food was quite nice but the service was too atrocious to warrant any more stars. The waitress did not even know the name of item she was serving. Wait time was ridiculous. Did not bring the ordered items unless reminded several times. Both the waitress and the cook forgot to heat the dessert until much after we finished with the main course and made us wait another half hour. read more
