“Originally thought I was having Greek food but quickly learned I was having Syrian food. This is my first time having Syrian food and by far the best. I had a very simple meal I got the chicken salad and the grape leaves. Everything was so fresh and the flavors are so vibrant and very citrus forward which I love. I'm so excited to go back and try some of their more dishes. This is a great place to stop by have a quick bite to eat for lunch or dinner. As someone who is on the go a lot I'm really happy this is close to my work so I'll be coming here more often. The 2 gentle men that were there are very kind . Thank you !“

“I’d like to give a shout out to a local businesses where I had an absolutely delicious meal. I was looking for something new & different in the Cranston area close to Garden City that wasn’t the same old monotonous fare that I’m used to. I stopped in for lunch on Thursday as I had an appointment on Reservoir Ave & again for dinner on Sunday after I picked up a cake at Antonio's Bakery. I’d like to start out by saying, I’m half Italian on my Dad’s side (Neapolitan, from the Avelino region, & Sicilian, specifically from Messina) & a quarter Armenian on my Mom’s side (ancient Armenia which is modern day Turkey)…so therefore I’m extremely fussy about my Italian, Armenian, Mediterranean, & Middle Eastern cuisine; my Grandma (Neapolitan) & Grandma (Armenian) were outstanding chef’s in their respective kitchens, & I was outrageously spoiled as a child & very rarely ate out, I had the best of the best~those skills were certainly not passed down nor inherited by me-scrambled eggs in the microwave anyone. With that being said… The owner (who is from Syria, so you know you’re getting an authentic product) & his team provided great customer service, very attentive & patient, knowledgeable about the food they’re serving & able to explain the flavor profile of each item. The restaurant is pretty well taken care of & clean. They encouraged me to try the shawarma, I’m glad I listened, I wasn’t disappointed…now I’m obsessed. I ordered the grape leaves, hummus, & chicken gyro. The grape leaves and the tzatziki were okay, I was expecting a tangy, lemony flavor with the grape leaves along with a more traditional look as well as flavor to the tzatziki, however the hummus & chicken gyro were very good. The hummus was creamy & the gyro was light, airy, & mild…it felt like I was eating healthy. The owner provided a free sample of their falafel…which I had at another establishment years ago & didn’t like…when I returned on Sunday I ordered that along with the chicken gyro, & the owner gave me a free paklava dessert-to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed it as I’ve found others hit or miss & off putting. Needless to say, I had an amazing experience & I’ll definitely be a repeat customer for sure when I’m in town.“

“People are sleeping on Al-Shami. The food is tied with Zesty Bites in Elmhurst as the best Middle Eastern food in Rhode Island, but the vibes are totally different, so one can't cancel out the other! Al Shami's chicken shawarma is juicy and incredibly seasoned, the sauce for the salad is delicious, and the garlic sauce, peppery sauce, and hummus are incredible. The falafel is fantastic, too, and less oily than East Side Pockets, though their falafel is great, too! I always go back to Al-Shami when I miss my mamanbozorg's kabob, which is all the time. Thankfully, the prices are amazing, so I'm not breaking the bank eating here as often as I do.
Additionally, it's not an easy time to be a small, local business, or Middle Eastern. You can tell Amir puts his heart into his work of making mouthwatering authentic food following his professional training at Johnson & Wales. So go ahead and show this place (and yourself) some love.“

“Absolutely amazing experience. Our server, Logan, was top-notch. He was there when we needed him but did not hover over us and was not overbearing. The food and the atmosphere were amazing as well- the service provided really made the experience memorable. Logan accommodated everything we needed.“

“I’m disabled and housebound. My daughter just picked up a variety of your amazing food, all gluten free for me. I have to tell you every single bite was over the top delicious. The portions are huge. Best falafel I’ve ever tasted and I’m picky. I’m going to be enjoying this all weekend. I’m definitely going to be begging her to bring me more again, lol. I highly recommend your delicious food. Thank you for amazing product especially the gluten free.“
