    My partner came here with friends and I'm glad he took me next! We were seated swiftly and our server got our drinks and order quickly because I already looked over the menu~ ordered the mango smoothie, which was very sweet and refreshing on this hot day. They offer tea, self service, instead of water, and it was delicious. It came in small glass mugs and was hot and sweet. It was a good combo with the savory food. Ordered the combo and it was good. Had more than enough to share for 3, and plenty of pita bread~ this was such a unique and different food experience for me that I very much enjoyed. Waitress picked up our empty plates and were attentive until it got busy, in which we had to go to the counter and ask for to-go boxes. I think one pays at the front, but I wasn't sure since we walked to the front to get boxes and pay our bill ourselves since the waitress never came back. So the big elephant in the room is the automatic 18% gratitud added to our bill. Seems to be something other reviews mention. I can't explain the reason except they want to pay their staff well, but they should be more attentive. Some where on their phones and have full blown conversations with their earbuds in. If they were more attentive and conscious it would make more sense. Otherwise the food is solid and enjoyable. Feels more authentic with many families here enjoying big shareable meals..

    My friend and I came here on a weekday afternoon so it was just us in the restaurant and there is plenty of parking and plenty of space inside. I tried their complimentary tea and it was good but it was too sweet for my liking. For starters, we ordered some hummus and it came with pita. That hummus was incredibly delicious. It was light, it was smooth, it was nutty and creamy, and with the pita it was very addicting. We ordered a chicken shawarma to share and it was delicious and perfectly pressed to give it a crunchy wrap. That dipped in their garlic and spicy sauce was really good. We also ordered their chicken and lamb skewers over rice and that was delicious since both meats were very tender. The rice was not too flavorful but with all the other sides and flavors, it reall brought it to life. The side salad was good but it was a bit soggy. Overall great food and for good prices.

    shish plate and rice, this could easily feed 4 people amazing food and generous for the price

    el laham is a solid place to stop in with friends or family for a casual meal. their portions are so generous and they have a little bit of everything from the Levant region. their meat and rice options are outstanding, and i love their rotating dessert options. i have sat in both the hookah room and non hookah room, and had a good time with friends. service has varied depending on the rush. but never the kindness, just the speed of service. sometimes it's taken an hour to get food and sometimes it's taken 15min. doesn't keep me from coming back but i plan my visits carefully in case it's a day where it's too long of a wait!

    The food was so good, restaurant has sections for smoking and non smoking, we sat in non smoking, service was good they brought the food and bottles of water, they didn't check on us the entire time but we didn't really mind or need anything. I wanted to order dessert but was way too full, portions are huge btw. Definitely worth a try.

    Came during COVID Ramadan for a buffet style iftar. Really good Syrian food and felt very homey! Authentic and clean. $22.5 for all you can eat with water and tea. Decent price!

    Al Mall closed down but the good food and ghetto tissues used as napkins live on at El Laham

    Cigar bars are few and far between in the area, so Tel Aviv has become the go-to spot for me and my…read moregood friend who enjoys an occasional cigar. The venue is reasonably large, the seats are comfortable, the service has been very good (and it was excellent today), and they have a large humidor for anyone arriving empty-handed. I've worked through a handful of menu items and found the lamb lollipops are particularly good (order them medium). That said, this isn't a place I'd choose strictly for dinner unless the ambiance of lingering cigar smoke is part of the draw (pun intended). In warmer months, the large outdoor deck along the water is a really nice spot. So if you're into cigars or hookah and live in the area, this might be your place too. Given how rare cigar-friendly venues have become, I'm bumping this up to a five-star rating. Tip: Beware of the sidewalks on this street. They have so many peaks and valleys they look like the Swiss Alps!

It's good, but again, not my go-to for sushi. They offer a variety of dishes - I opted for the Mofongo con Camarones (shrimp). The sauce mixed with the Mofongo? Fire. They also have good cocktails. Hookah will cost around $42 - $52 per fill, depending on the flavor. Kitchen closes at 12:45 AM, so my party and I were able to enjoy our meals and still spend a good amount of time there. I went on a slower day so the service was quick, but in the warmer season the restaurant will be packed in and out. It's a great vibe if you don't put the expectation that this will be a 5 star meal. Music was top tier.

The decor is very cute, i had read on here that it's very "instagramable" and i agree. We were sat right away, our waitress was nice and attentive. The menu is online, with qr code at table. We ordered some apps and sushi right away; there was a sushi special until 8pm and we were able to put in order minutes before 8! Everything came out together, apps and sushi, and we didn't wait long. The food was great! The sushi options were very creative, some traditional others with the latin mix. The apps were good too, only wish they put more sauce on the wings. The only con was parking! I thought the parking lot next to them was theirs and was happy to find a spot (i thought was because week days are less busy). If there is a sign that says it private lot i didn't see it; it was at night. The restaurant also didn't mention it until someone came to ask for car to be moved. A different waitress came ro our table to ask if it was our car and told me "you are lucky they came in to ask to move it, they usually just have it towed". They need to warm customers or have signs so that doesn't happen. I had to rush out to move it, had to find street parking few blocks away. Thankfully was a week day and only took few minutes. So if you go, don't park in the lot!
