Absolutely amazing experience at Mal Al Sham!
Mal Al Sham is hands-down one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants I’ve been to in a long time. The moment you walk in, you can smell the fresh grilled meats, spices, and warm bread — it feels like you’re stepping straight into a traditional kitchen back home.
The food is truly outstanding. Every dish tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The portions are generous and the presentation makes everything even more appetizing. You can tell the chefs take real pride in their cooking. The meat was tender, the appetizers were fresh, and everything came out hot and full of flavor.
The service was also top-notch. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. They explained the menu, made great recommendations, and treated us with genuine hospitality.
The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and family-friendly — perfect for both a casual meal or a sit-down dinner. It’s the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable and want to come back again.
Overall, Mal Al Sham is a solid 5-star restaurant. Great food, great service, and great vibes. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending this place to friends and family.
Apologies to the owners , left a unfavorable review not knowing that your restaurant was closed due to a fire , looking forward to stopping by after renovations .. I heard food is awsome..

I don’t know how long this place is closed for, but they are certainly closed right now. I visited 11/21 and the restaurant is cleaned out - looks like a renovation underway.

I’ve been a customer of this restaurant for a long time, and it used to be much better. But lately, the quality has gotten worse day by day. The kebab and shawarma are often overcooked and burnt, and the food doesn’t taste the same anymore. I’ve mentioned this issue to them several times, but it feels like they don’t care now that they have many customers.
I honestly do not recommend this restaurant anymore, it’s a waste of money.
