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!

Beef Kebab w/ yellow rice entree

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

Falafel
Philly C.

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 .

Fries were not fresh. A little over priced for the quality of food. Tabbouleh was very over priced for a simple dish.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch on Saturday, December 20, 2025 at Dave's Hot Chicken. We'd never…read morebeen to one before and wanted to check it out. It's a little farther from home than we'd normally drive, but the weather wasn't great and we needed an excuse to get out of the house. For a fast casual place this is a really good option. My review and comparison are within that category. We split the 2-slider combo and were glad we did--it was filling and really good. I went with Extra Hot, which is the second hottest level. (The Reaper is the hottest and that's definitely on the list for next time.) The fries were solid, and I noticed after ordering that you can get a side of cheese--good thing to know for next visit. They reminded me a lot of Chickie & Pete's crab fries style-wise. Food seemed freshly made to order, and we waited maybe 10 minutes for the food. Overall, I really enjoyed it. Even though it's not super close, I'd absolutely stop in again when I'm in the area.

I've been wanting to try Dave's Hot Chicken for a while now and today I finally got the chance. The…read morefood was decent not great but decent and based on just the food I probably would have given them three stars but based on the customer service experience I had it dropped it down to two stars. Let me explain. I walked in and stood back for a minute to look at the menu and the girl at the register was unwrapping coins into the register so no rush. I decided what I wanted and stepped up to the register and she didn't acknowledge me at all. No hi I'll be right with you just nothing. She just kept unwrapping coins and taking her sweet time. When she finished she still didn't acknowledge me and walked away to throw the coin wrappers away and then went straight to the pass through window to bag to go orders now just clearly ignoring me. She finally turned around and asked if I was paying with cash or card and I said I was paying with a card and she just pointed and said order through the kiosk. Now I HATE ordering and paying through kiosks, I am a a customer and paying full price I want to be treated like a customer. And honestly I was the only one there and she was standing in front of an order screen and register so I don't know why she couldn't just take my order. So anyway I go place my order and go to pay and the Kiosk asked me for a tip like really you want me to tip a freaking kiosk. So like I said the food was decent but there was nothing friendly or welcoming about the customer service and based on that I will not be returning.
