    Sham sampler - spinach pies, meat pies, cheese pies, and kibbee
    Patrick D.

    Visited my family in Pennsylvania for the holidays a while back and had a great meal here! It's an assuming local chain serving great Middle Eastern food at very reasonable prices. We started with the Sham Sampler which comes with 2 each of spinach pies, meat pies, cheese pies, and crispy meat filled kibbee with what I think were their garlic sauce and tahini which were both delicious. The kibbee was a bit on the drier side but everything was still well seasoned and tasty. For mains we shared the beef and chicken mixed kebab platter, mixed (lamb and chicken) shawarma platter, and a chicken maroosh roll. The beef and chicken kebabs were nicely seasoned with a nice chargrilled flavor, paired well with the sauces and the bed of rice and layer of grilled onions it came with. The shawarma was also very tasty, with a good portion of well marinated sliced lamb and chicken. Pound for pound the best dish though, was the chicken maroosh sandwich with a generous serving of their tasty chicken served with a a killer combo of garlic sauce and white sauce served in a slightly crisp lightly grilled long roll - the combination of flavors from the savory chicken with the garlicy creamy sauces in a perfectly crisped long roll was fantastic, and I would come back just to try the other versions of the maroosh roll with all of their other meats. Overall had a great meal here with good portions (was a total of 5 of us including my two parents and we were satisfied with the appetizer sampler + 3 entrees) and very reasonable prices. Worth a try for anyone aroudn the area!

    The hummus & pita were very good. The chicken nuggets and fries were a fam favorite. The one thing I wasn't really a fan of was the beef. It was a bit overcooked and tough. It also had an off flavor to it. I would definitely come back just not get the beef again because it just wasn't right. My husband didn't mind his as much so maybe it was just mine. The rice was good. Service was quick & friendly. It got very busy while we just arrived. It reminds of a place you'd find in NYC or Philly. Large menus and some seating. It was overall clean and definitely would come back.

    This Al Sham location is our family go to! It's near the Willow Grove (ICCWG) masjid. The location is clean and the staff is great! Everything on their menu is excellent. Lamb quesadillas- insanely amazing! The creaminess from the sauce and the lamb gyro pieces are perfect. I was never a fan of quesadillas but this has changed me. The fries are crispy. Chicken sandwiches - if Al Sham ran solely on chicken sandwiches, they would be at the top of the game and super successful. I don't know how they do it all! I think we got two versions, maybe different rubs, both were perfect. Also! We ate these 2.5 hours after picking the food up and nothing got soggy, everything stayed crispy! Highly recommend this location!

    NY Combo, Sham Samplers
    William E.

    As a fan of Mediterranean food, this place hit my cravings in all the right spots. The NY style combo platter is so flavorful, and also quite spicy. I also tried the sham sampler, which included an assortment of small pies --some looking similar to egg rolls but filled with cheese, some looking similar to samosa but with spinach, some with meat inside, and also what seemed to be almost like falafel filled with a meat. They were all delicious, especially when paired with the sauce it came with. Overall, a very clean place with good food and exceptional service. Would recommend to anyone who wants a quick and affordable meal to enjoy during their lunch break!

    First time here but not my last. The food is full of flavor, large portions and amazing taste. The business is extremely clean and well taken care of. The NY Mix was delicious. We also tried the chicken shawarma which was full of flavor

    amazing service! delicious, fresh food. Definitely recommend trying the chicken sandwich and NY combos!

    Falafel

    Just had lunch at this spot. First time there , the reviews were good so we gave it a spin and were glad we did. I had the New York style chicken snd rice. The wife had the falafel dinner.. my chicken and rice as killer . Flavorful and very generous with the portion size. Loved the white sauce but just wish the "hot" sauce had a little more kick . The falafel was tasty and fried perfectly . Very well seasoned and a nice portion size. The owner was behind the counter and took our order. Very nice guy and willing to accommodate. We will be back ASAP. I need the lambs shawarma in my life .

We asked for extra goat cheese to add more of a salted balance to the salad and I would definitely order it again. My husband really liked the crispy duck dumplings, I can really appreciate the crisp which was perfectly executed. The soup of the day was a shrimp and crab chowder and was very tasty. Birria tacos left a little to be desired, a little salty and lacked a wow! The star of the meal was the mango and apricot sorbet! Perfect blend of deliciousness! Definitely recommend this place.

We went for the happy hour app and drink specials for our birthdays, but because it took our server 15 minutes to come back and check on us, they wouldn't let us get the specials.

We will definitely give it a weekend try, just in case it was an off night. Tip: I was not a fan of sitting in the half booth tables right by the hostess stand. It was extra dark and it felt more like where you sit while waiting for your actual table. Ask to be seated further in the dining room...it is really cool inside! Big parties can even get seated IN a birdcage!

I will say, there were a couple individuals who appeared to be regulars that acted as if they were over served and when they left, the bartender said "I love you guys, have a good one," which was a little much even if it's for the sake of getting tips from regulars who aren't responsible enough to hold their liquor properly. The same patrons at the bar were also extremely loud which reminds you that it is a "bar" and not a fancy restaurant despite the amazing food and staff. The food and professionalism from the majority of the staff simply did not match the appearance of the workers who wore personal t-shirts which makes the whole experience feel a lot more casual despite the prices. Regardless we will be back due to the treatment from the staff and the great food!
