A huge thanks to the staff at Syrians Cafe! My car broke down right in front of the cafe and they were kind enough to help me out and jumpstart my car. I made it to the auto shop and made it home! Thanks again!

Balcony and patio seating plus indoor. The stairs are a little tight to walk up and down but for the food and drinks it's worth it. Small menu but you can't go wrong with a single choice. Bf got the lamb platter, I got the chicken shawarma with their apricot drink, we cleaned our plates just short of licking them. Absolutely recommend if you're looking for lunch or dinner with a chill atmosphere and a great view of Main St.

Really nice service, however I ordered the chicken shawarma and chicken kabob, and both orders had very dry tasteless chicken. The garlic sauce on the side saved the experience however Naz’s halal on route 40 is not only better in service, but most importantly taste.
