The food has savory spice, not excessive heat spice. Wings are well cooked, crispy and meaty. Not too exciting for me. I was hoping for more flavor or a sauce or a dry rub... something to boost them up. However, the bbq lamb was SO GOOD! A little drippy from the sauces but well worth it. Holy cow (it is halal after all)! My bro-in-law said the chicken salad was dynamite. The guys behind the counter may have a flat affect, but they definitely care about that they are serving you! I would gladly return for more!

I'm writing this review because I genuinely love the food here and hope this feedback helps improve…read morethe customer experience. The food is absolutely phenomenal--fresh, clean, flavorful, and consistently delicious. If I were rating the food alone, it would easily be five stars. Unfortunately, my recent experience with customer service was disappointing. I only get a one-hour lunch break, and this restaurant is about 17 minutes from my office, so timing is important. I called ahead while driving so my order could be ready when I arrived. The woman who answered the phone was very difficult to hear, and she also seemed to have trouble understanding me. I politely asked several times if she could speak up because I couldn't hear her, but instead, the call was disconnected. Since I was only a few minutes away, I drove to the restaurant to order in person. I mentioned that our call had been disconnected, but it wasn't acknowledged. I ordered a chicken kebab pita with feta cheese. I've ordered feta here many times before, but there seemed to be some confusion about what I was asking for. Eventually, someone I assume was the owner came over and helped complete my order. I also ordered a combo, which includes fries and a drink. After receiving my food, I checked the bag and noticed the fries were missing. When I asked about them, I was told my combo didn't include fries because I added feta--even though I was charged extra for the feta. That explanation didn't make much sense, especially since the menu advertises the combo as including fries. I'm hoping this was simply a new team that's still in training, because that's honestly the benefit of the doubt I'd like to give. Everyone has to learn somewhere. I truly hope they get the service side running as well as the kitchen because the food is outstanding. I'll continue coming back because it's one of my favorite places to eat, and I'd love to see future customers have an experience that matches the quality of the food.

We ordered from Al-Sham last night after hearing recommendations we decided to order...with really…read morehigh hopes. As former New Yorkers, we've been spoiled by authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, so we were excited to finally find a place people spoke so highly of. The spices and flavors themselves were on point, but unfortunately almost everything else missed the mark. The kofta, lamb kebab, and chicken kebab were all incredibly dry and overcooked. The hummus was overly salty, the pita was stale and had the texture of cardboard, and even the French fries were over fried. This wasn't just a mediocre meal...it was genuinely disappointing, especially considering all the hype. We won't be returning. Sadly, this experience reinforced our belief that Northeast Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs are still lacking when it comes to truly authentic, high quality Middle Eastern cuisine. We had really hoped this would be the exception, but it wasn't.

I do not normally eat at gas stations and was taken back when I arrived. However, I'm an hour away from home and needed something to eat fast... then get back on the road. The lettuce and tomatoes were very fresh. The lamb was the consistency of lamb meatballs, chopped up. it only cost $10. Not bad if you're on the road and do not have a lot of time. Once you can get past the fact that it's in the gas station. I sat in my car and ate. And then got back on the road.

You can…read moreget higher quality food from the food trucks on the road down in the city for $6, and it'll come with a drink as well. For almost double the price, you're paying for less meat, a cold piece of naan, and a unfriendly service. When I went up to put in my order at the register, the cashier didn't even bother to try making eye contact with me, or look in my direction for that matter. The cashier was also not wearing a mask, and only had a single glove on his hand (the cashier was also the one frying the falafels). There was also no hand sanitizer or social distancing going on in the cramped waiting area for the food. As far as COVID guidelines go, they probably weren't following a single one... The food itself wasn't all the great in my opinion either, especially for the price you're paying for. They tossed in a cold piece of naan, which was nice I suppose since the trucks down in the city don't come with naan. However, the worker took the cold pre-cooked piece of naan out of the packaging, tossed it on the stove top for 30 seconds and then put it in my take-out box. It was still pretty cold when I ate it, 5ish minutes afterwards. The salad that it comes with was an interesting addition, but it doesn't make up for the less meat that you get overall by getting your food here. If you're really in the mood for some "halal food" (aka. chicken over rice) out here then it'll give you your quick fix. But definitely if you're closer to the city, don't make the trip to come out here to try them, it's not worth your money or your time.

The chicken gyro meat is amazing- especially with the yellow sauce. I haven't had a single thing here I didn't love- and have tried quite a bit. I especially recommend the chicken gyro platter if you're trying to keep it light and healthy- and the gyro fries if you're wanting something a bit heavier. The only thing I haven't liked was their green beans in tomato sauce- but that was personal preference. My friends love when we bring the mixed grill box which is huge and feeds so many people. They say 3ppl and 6ppl- but can easily feed a bunch more! I especially like the customer service. I have spoken to the owner who is always always there- and even completes some of the deliveries himself. One time they were really late with a delivery and he instantly comped the meal and told me it would never happened again- and it has not. Everything I have seen is made from scratch.

If anything, it was more impressive looking in person. The box is said to serve 3 but it could easily feed 5 if people eat regular portions. We weren't sure what the sauces would be like so I sprung for all of them. The tzatziki was our ultimate fave - putting a bit on the pita and then adding some of the chicken. The chicken and pork could have been a bit juicier, but adding the sauce and making a little pita sandwich helped. I would love to order again and try some of the menu items when I'm in town.

The ground lamb didn't overpower the already expertly executed hummus and added fantastic depth and richness. We also sprung for the grilled calamari tubes and the chef did a great job of not overcooking while achieving an excellent char. We shared the baked cod and the spice was delicate and perfect. Using cured lemon was a very clever idea as the sauce was not too strong but still had depth; the saffron and turmeric were well balanced. The fish itself was NOT overcooked and flaked perfectly. The vegetables were also executed well and cooked so they could be eaten with the same bite. The star of the show was still the cook on the fish with the wonderful sauce. The sever gave us some Moroccan mint tea which was also wonderful. We will be making the drive from the Maine Line to just to dine here again.
