The food was excellent! Stopped by because I was in the area and damn was it good. Everything was made fresh. I'm definitely coming back!
I ordered the shawafel sandwich and it was tasty. The falafels are cooked on the spot. Mint lemonade was also very good. No sugar used and it tasted great!

The best falafel wrap in NJ. They make it the authentic syrian way. Try the mint lemonada too, It won’t disappoint 10/10

Shawarma did not have flavor. Meat was cold and overcooked. Fries were alright. Salad was not seasoned, it was missing lemon juice and olive oil

The BEST quality food, friendly staff, authentic, with fair prices. This place should have a perfect score; anyone who rated it less are complainers. I usually like to change it up, but this place? We get it to go at least once a week. Hard to go to any other Mediterranean after eating from Shami! So good!

I’ve traveled up and down the east coast and this is by far one of the best meals I’ve ever had. From flavor to presentation it’s all amazing. You can taste the craft that went into your food. Blown away by this little restaurant that I happened to just breeze into.
For folks like my wife who swear by reviews, here's some food for thought - before you decide to visit the restaurant. This is not really a place that one visits to sit down and eat. Most clients were picking up food they'd previously ordered. There are only four tables, two for 6 guests, two for two guests. So, if you want to sit down and eat, there may not be room. The restaurant itself is tidy and brightly lit, the decor unimpressive. My wife tried to order one of the beef and chicken kebab platters only to be informed that that beef kebabs were sold out! She settled for the chicken kebab platter. My children ordered the beef shwarma over rice and the chicken kebab over rice. I ordered a chicken shwarma sandwich. The wait for the food was about 20 minutes. The baba ganoush we ordered as a starter was delectable. However, the beef and chicken dishes were a big disappointment. The meat was totally dry, the chicken kebabs resembled something that had been cooked the previous week, stuck into the microwave and brought out; it was tough as leather. My sandwich was satisfactory, but I am not sure there was anything uniquely Syrian about it. It mostly resembled a Subway wrap. The garlic sauce meant to be served with it was just plain old mayonnaise. Overall impressions: A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT! When we informed the maitre d about the dried meat, she blamed one of the servers, even though it was the former who cooked the food. We are certainly not returning to this establishment.

This place looks great, staff was very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately I came in at a late time! (Myownfault) so I couldn't get my chicken platter, but since the staff was nice and place looked great I will come back again at an earlier time. Definitely want to give it a try!
