Bab Alsalam Restaurant offers authentic and satisfying Middle Eastern cuisine. The chicken shawarma is highlighted by customers for its great flavor, juicy texture, and perfect cooking. Other standout dishes include kabab, falafel pita, and the vegetarian combo plates, which come with pitas and a salad. The restaurant is known for large portions and soft, warm pita bread. Customers appreciate the fresh and flavorful food, with crunchy vegetables in the salads and high-quality ingredients. The owner, who does the cooking, even helps guests learn a few words of Arabic. The location is tricky to find, tucked away in a corner of a strip mall on Cumberland Avenue. There is plenty of casual seating, and many people stop in for takeout. The staff is recognized for their flexibility and understanding, making for a great local dining experience. Recent reviews mention the delicious kefta and chicken entree, with a yummy grill taste and great hummus. Many guests express their love for the restaurant, insisting on returning for the fresh food. The mixed grill platter is appreciated for its juicy meats and smoky char, while the cucumber tomato salad has an addicting tang and fresh crunch.
