The price for the Lunch Special from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM is quite reasonable. You get a smaller portion than the regular menu items at a lower price. I read previous reviews complaining that the food here was just reheated leftovers. However, during my visit, it seemed like the food was freshly cooked. They even gave me extra pita bread and garlic butter for free. One concern I have is that I only saw the owner, with no staff around. I wonder how they will manage if a large crowd arrives at the same time--you might end up waiting longer. read more

Cold day and all I wanted was something hot n tasty. I passed by this place a few times and read a bunch of great reviews so why not give it a try. Ordered the beef kabob plate and the chicken shawarma plate. Both excellent choices! I ordered to go and when I received it was hot and fresh and smelt so good. The 2 gentlemen were so polite and offered some suggestions. My friend and myself enjoyed everything and will be repeat customers. Totally worth a try. Good food, pretty dining room, friendly service and a ton of parking. read more

Alsham Mediterranean Kitchen - Disgusting - Mediterranean Near Me - Corona, California

A really cozy restaurant with a nice staff and owners. You wouldn't expect great food and service altogether in one place, but they've got it here. Everyone is courteous and you'll enjoy anything you order here. Got to try out Alsham with a group, and I gotta say, it all looked good and was tasty. I ordered the Falafel Wrap, which was just delicious, and it came with a flavorful sauce and the pickled sides. I was satisfied after having those bites! And...you gotta try their cardemom tea, it will really make your meal even more enjoyable. So, a great place for all your Mediterranean cravings! Will have to come back to try their kababs. Yum! read more

The restaurant is short staffed, ambiance is nice. Food is not the best quality and the is because the restaurant is short staffed. There is place for improvement but the area is also dead and there are not that many customers to hire more staff. Best of luck read more

This place is amazing! The owner is very friendly and gave us exceptional service. The chicken, lamb and beef kabobs were very moist and tasty. We frequent lots of Mediterranean restaurants and Alsham is definitely our favorite. read more

This was my first time ordering from this place, and I have to say it was disappointing. The falafel were half cooked (see pic) and chewy, the Lamb Mandi was mediocre at best, and to top it off, they gave me half a piece of pita bread . I have never experienced that. The service was unwelcoming, and they confused me with a door dash driver . I had to tell them that I ordered directly on their website. I have to say that their website experience was good, but everything else was subpar. Needless to say, there will not be a second time read more

I've been to Al Sham more than a few times as I moved to Corona only a few years ago and was looking for a Mediterranean restaurant. This place happens to be very close to my home. First off, the ambiance of the place is great. The owner has really decorated the place well and it feels very fancy and clean inside. It really immerses you in the culture. The owner Yasser is very welcoming. Even if the restaurant is full, him and his staff always do their best to move faster and get your food and drinks out to you quickly. Finally, the food is amazing. It reminds me of home cooking and is always fresh and tastes like cuisine you get only traveling overseas. We often get catering whenever we have small parties at our home and he does such a great job in preparing everything to perfection at a price that beats many other catering services. I'll definitely continue to go to this restaurant. read more

Food is amazing!!!! The closest I've ever had to my Lebanese grandmother's cooking.

Great place for housemade mediterranian food in Covina! The restaurant has great lighting at night which was rare and I love it. Food was well cooked and used good quality ingredients. They were a bit too salty overall but still delicious and wouldn't ruin everything. They give generous meat that match up for the price they charge. Perfect for family or friends gathering because you can share multiple dishes! read more

We wanted to try something new and landed on this place for take-out. I actually did it old-school and ordered takeout via the phone (that's something grown-ups used to use to talk to teach other before texting was invented), and they were totally receptive and kind. We never actually ate inside the restaurant, but we did go there to pick up the food and it looked very spacious and decorated. It seemed like a quiet space, which is nice. The food was great! I'm no expert, but I really enjoyed the cucumber yogurt, lamb, and grape leaves! There were several items that were always good (we are repeat customers), and this restaurant has definitely made it into my regular rotation. read more

Saturday, NOVEMBER 5th, 2022 A friend recommended this place to us, she told us the food was amazing! We thought we need to check this place out! First, they are overly priced! Secondly, there food has no flavor. We ordered Arayes and from the picture that was in the Menu Book looked amazing but when it came out, was nothing like it at all. It was so bland too! My Husband ordered chicken shawarma wrap but literally did not taste nothing like chicken shawarma had no salt nor spices in it. Place inside was very nice but food not so great! read more

Food. Is fresh and Excellent ... I eat here at least once a week ! The chicken kabob wrap is one of my faves .

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I love their interior decor , their delicious food and outstanding service . It's family friendly and they have many interesting items on the menu so you have lots of options to choose from appetizers and desserts , and great taste of authentic Syrian food . read more

Always happy with our food. This place never lets us down. Not only are they welcoming but also very friendly. The price is somewhat high but that's because the quality of food is outstanding. They don't skimp on portions either. As you can see from the pictures the presentation is beautiful and flavorful. Alsham nails it every time. If you're looking for middle eastern food for 2 or a party of 50 Alsham is where it's at. The best of the best in Corona. read more

Alsham Mediterranean Kitchen - Falafel plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Corona, California

Consistently Fresh & Authentic every time! I've tried mid-week lunch, Ramadan buffet on the busiest of Friday nights, and catering for private home parties and each time, the gracious owner, Yassir confidently promises AND delivers same high quality. We just had a ladies luncheon and had about 10 varieties of our Syrian cuisine. These ladies ARE 1st generation Syrian, so there is no shortage of honest critics and highly sophisticated palates. EVERY one of us unanimously agreed he nailed each dish! That's almost impossible and equal to nailing a 10 in the Olympics Gymnastics! One final note, Yassir also represents portions generously, just as our Syrian traditions do! He's the "Real Deal" and deserves all the success of his hard-earned efforts! read more

So i have been here a few times and here are my thoughts. Now I have always ordered online and picked up wrap sandwiches so take that for what it's worth. Food- the flavor is fine. Not amazing but passable. The portion sizes are quite small. Comparatively you can get the wrap from D'Vine that has easily twice the filling, maybe more, and the cost is almost the same. Service- going in previously the people have been fine. Since just picking up it's pretty straightforward. Today I placed my order and when I went in 15 minutes later I was told it would be another 20 minutes . Even with them saying they had just gotten the order that seems a little excessive especially since the restaurant was empty, literally one table occupied. So I asked if I could cancel since I didn't have time to wait that long and he told me to call Grubhub and walked away. So for me, because of the small portions, ambivalence of the staff and very slow preparation times I wouldn't recommend. Bummer too because I was so excited for a local Mediterranean place. read more

Bad services cheap and stingy owners , rude and do not care about customers and the food quality is bad and that made the taste of it awful. Never again read more

Food was horrible! Placed it online, I arrived and food wasn't even ready, and to top it off he didn't even tell me there was no more kabsa. Which I ordered something else. Meat is OLD smells funky and tastes also. Never again. Very pricey as well read more

Alsham Mediterranean Kitchen - HORRIBLE AND DISGUSTING! We threw it away mansaf & Maqlouba! - Mediterranean Near Me - Corona, California

Delicious Mediterranean food and friendly service. My husband got the chicken shawarma wrap and I got the beef wrap. We both agreed the beef one tasted better. The food took 30 minutes to come out but we were warned ahead of time that it would take time. For appetizer, we shared the fried kibbeh and it came out with 3 pieces. The crunch outside was good but overall it tasted a little dry though so I wish it came with some type of sauce. I would definitely come back if I was in the area again. FYI their lunch special is only for M-F, even though it was in the menu we received (we were there on a Sunday). Plenty of parking. read more

Our family had take out tonight at Al Sham and OMG ! I specially had the Beef Kabob meal and I must say everything on the plate was outstanding! Out of this world fresh , full of flavor and the food was light which was great. We've been to all the fancy Mediterranean restaurants in OC/LA and not one could come close to the freshness and flavors of Al Sham! The food was so delicious I had to call them after I was done just to say thank you! Each bite put a smile on my face. You absolutely get what you paid for here. We will continue to support Al Sham for their great service and food. Will try to dine in next time! Definitely our go to place from now on for Mediterranean food. Highly, Highly recommend Al Sham! if you need to try a new spot for Mediterranean food. Thank you to the entire staff / owner of Al Sham on this evening 10/6/24. You ended our weekend with a giant Smile!! read more

Beef and chicken kebab were delicious. Hummus was fresh and tasty. Best mediterranean in the area!

I've come here several times in the last year now and the food is always phenomenal. I highly recommend lamb Mandi with hummus. Skewers are great. Definitely get the whole chicken, it's so juicy and tender! Ambiance is lovely as well. Try the teas and desserts. The baklava blew me away. Food takes a little while to come out but they're making it fresh so it's worth it. read more

Love this place! It was the most delicious Mediterranean food in all of corona and Orange County! I don't know why I have gone to this place earlier! I was in a bind for dinner and I as thinking of ordering out from OC and driving back to corona but I was too tired. I took a chance on this place and so glad I did. The food was flavorful, fresh and just delicious!! I think I'm in trouble and will most likely order from here 1-2 times a week. No joke- it's THAT GOOD!! The inside the of restaurant was very nice decorated, which I wasn't suspecting that. Again, give this place a try and you won't regret it. I'm really picky with food so this says a lot! read more

Very disappointed in what I received from this restaurant. I ordered the lamb gyro and received a tiny slice of meat wrapped in a tortilla, not even pita bread. I would expect much better for something that cost $12 and took 30 min to make it to our table in an empty restaurant. I hope they can realize this isn't going to cut it and make some changes very soon. read more

Welp.....I was super excited to see a Mediterranean restaurant here in Corona, so we went to check it out and what a disappointment!!!! I know they are newly opened, but the service was horrible and the attitude of the staff was like they could have cared less for our business. There were only four other tables occupied when we got there and one waitress. We waited 30 mins to get our appetizer and meals. We were never given napkins or utensils. The food is mediocre and prices are steep. Will gladly be driving to Anaheim Hills to Medi Kitchen from now on. BTW, there's no alcohol to drown your miserable experience. read more

Quality Mediterranean food that is equally as delicious! The restaurant is in the same plaza as Dollar Tree and Ralph's and we've been really excited for it to open for quite some time now. It's in a good location with plenty of parking in front. My husband put in a phone order for lunch to-go today. We got: a beef shawarma plate, a chicken shawarma plate, fattoush salad, and knafe. Originally we wanted lamb biryani and baklava but they did not have these items in house. The owner reassured us that they'll be up and running 100% in another week or so. For now it looks like it's a soft opening. I've had mediocre Mediterranean food in the past so I can say that this is quality and very authentic food that tastes like care has been put in cooking/curating each dish. I'm excited to try the Arabian & Syrian dishes in the future because those are flavors I'm very new to! I'm super happy that this new spot opened up near our house and looking forward to dining in next time. read more

It was my first time coming here. I was craving authentic Mediterranean food, and I was pretty sure there was nothing like that locally near my where I live in Eastvale. I looked it up and this popped up and it was the closest thing to me so I decided to give it a try. So glad I did and it was so worth it. I ordered the trio kebab and all of the meats were moist and perfectly cooked. When I walked in the service was great and they were very friendly. I took my order to go because I was exhausted from my drive home. I will definitely be returning back when I'm craving Mediterranean again. read more

good attentive service, good selections of authentic Mediterranean cuisine. Food was prepared perfectly. Comfortable and quiet atmosphere and reasonless price. Definitely recommend Alsham Mediterranean Resturant for a good dinner! read more

Food was really good. Prices are pretty high but it's 2022 so we're all seeing that lately. The prices today were already $1-3 more then 8 days ago and the menu pictures on Yelp. Soft opening so service was slow it's family owned which was nice to see. I had the veggie platter. The babaG was nice and Smokey perfection The hummus was delicious Grape leaves were very leafy. Could use more insides and flavor The falafel was so moist on the inside with perfect fried outsides. The salad I wasn't a fan of the dressing but I'm sure some are The shawarma was pricey for the amount of meat you get but had a lot of flavor. It was heavy on the all spice flavor- reminded me of the Trader Joe's one. The winner is the garlic sauce! Be back just to smother something in it!! read more

My friend and I went here before going to a show. We had the moussaka as a appetizer- it was eggplant with tomatoes and onions it was so simple but it was really good! My friend ordered the lamb plate and I ordered the beef shwarma plate. And madlouka for dessert- it was a flour-like pasty warm dough covered in a cream topped with crushed pistachio. It was ookkay. When the waitress brought the to-go boxes, we ordered the dessert. Apparently she forgot about it and brought the bill so we reminded her of the dessert and then she started to have an attitude because of something she forgot which then took another 10 minutes. When we finally got the dessert we shared it . It started off as a nice place, good service but it later left a bad taste in my mouth because her attitude had changed. read more

My Wife and I are foodies and prefer to eat at family-owned restaurants. When we moved to Corona 20 years ago, good food was not something you could find. But over the years several family-owned joints have opened giving us good options. We were happy to see a new Mediterranean restaurant open up near us and had high hope. We finally stopped in for a quick lunch and were not expecting much based on the reviews we read. We ordered the Falafel salad and Grape leaves and were blown away. The falafels were moist and delicious, the dressing so full of flavor, then you get hit with the pickled turnup and OMG. Then the grape leaves came out. I don't know about you, but I order grape for my wife. I find them dull and dry. These were not. They were fantastic, moist and yummy. We came back for dinner and brought a bottle of wine. They have no liquor license so you can bring your own drinks. We split the half chicken and it was cooked perfect and enough for two. They brought us a lovely Arabic tea and Baklava for dessert. The food, great atmosphere and friendly staff will keep us coming back for years to come. read more
