    New favorite grab and go! Well, its not truly a preprepped place, but finally zipping in and ordering a falafel wrap didnt take long at all. I was pleasantly surprised with the flavors packed in this ten inch long wrap. A little Tahini on the side was the perfect accent. Perusing the menu informed me of many vegetarian options, and a breakfast menu! I'll be back to try more offerings! Great space - warm welcome.

    Beautifully decorated & clean restaurant with lots of natural lights coming in from the glass walls. My husband drops by here once in 2-3 months Today I ordered our usual, the Mix Grill with Rice and Salad for three ($55.99). Their serving/portion size is very generous! They put so much meat in it that 6 of us were able to share it easily. Really enjoy their food, and will recommend my friends to check this place out!

    My wife is iffy about eggpland but she loved this babaganoush

    This was my first time at Shanasheel, and I was impressed. My grandparents immigrated from Lebanon to Brazil, so I grew up with both Arabic and Portuguese at home. Although we eventually stopped learning Arabic, the food was like this one at Shanasheel. Authentic in all aspects! Some dishes I like are not on the menu Shishbarak (yogurt soup with dumplings) and sfiha, but they said the attentive staff took note. The ambiance is nice, clean, and relaxing. Great service, great food.

    The mixed grill ( for one ) lol

    I just had lunch here and fully agree with the 2 previous reviews . The food is incredibly delicious, and with a very generous size serving ( took half of mine home / it could be another lunch ) However the only negative was the service being beyond painfully s l o w. I do however , think they are newly opened and maybe just need to work the kinks out - then it will be top notch ! Best wishes

    Wow!!! I went here with my husband and we shared a plate for two people the meat was so good and the bread huge. The fries excellent and our server was nice we told her it was our first time she made us feel comfortable. I loved the music they played and the place was nice decorated. Plenty of seating I heard this place can get real busy. Price was reasonable glad we shared the plate we still had leftovers. Parking was not too bad either and it easy to get to. Overall I would go again!

    It was such a great experience here. Service was great, super friendly, and very attentive. The food was hot and so yummy. We came here for the lamb shank, and it didn't disappoint. Shank came out so juicy and steaming hot with a side of rice. Rice was just ok. The mix for one was more like mix for 2 or 3, with a huge portion of mixed meat and rice.

    I've been twice in the last two weeks, my friend recommended me this restaurant and really have delicious food. I have tried as today, Lentil Soup, Fried Chicken Thighs, it's fried with their own species, there is an Eggplant steel that is to die for, Beef and Lamb Kebab, Mango Smothie. Honestly they have excellent food.

    receipt - noted on it our food disappointment!

    Unfortunately as much as I try and tried to support Shanasheel Grill ,I get disappointed! Dec/10/2022 We ordered multiple food items , grilled fish tasted bitter and very old ( it have been deep frozen for along time to the point the inner fish meat discolored and no longer white , as the fish looked and tasted bad ) Shawarma on top of Hummus - Hummus was okay ,Shawarma tasted old meat have been heated ( it was not freshly cooked , it taste from last night or two nights before and heated in a microwave then put on top of Hummus )The other items we ordered was good. "Shocking behavior" we brought the issue to the server , she just said okay ! I requested the manager ( she said manager will be here 7:30 pm ( it was 3:30 pm ) so someone else came in she apologized and she said she will replace the fish with Lamb Tikka as the fish they have might be spoiled I accepted the offer and thanked them .. THEN someone else came to our table . Said :the fish more than one bite on it so no replacement no refund!!! I am like sorry who is this ( said it was the mother of the manager and she wouldn't honor the other lady work their offer ). Well thank you mother of the manager for the rotten fish and old shawarma.

    The rest of my food to go

    This place is very calm , alot of handmade decorations as well as the table and chairs . Food is very delicious has so many wonderful flavors. When served it is done with a bright heart and a smile . Very respectful.

    Fried Fish Meal

    Ahmazing food! Have to admit I was skeptical when we got to the place and there was no one there. Service was great as it was very personable, I have trust that the female server (bummed I cannot remember her name) does treat all her customers the same, friendly yet professional manner. She was very sweet. I enjoyed looking at the different arts they have hanging and the light fixtures were so pretty. The music she was playing definitely added to the authentic vibe in the restaurant. The fried whole fish was soooo delicious and cooked perfectly. The skin on the grilled chicken was yummy and the beef kabab was so falvorful. We both shared all three plates, and were both so full and had to take the rest home with us. This place needs more love and support from their community, its certainly underrated. Would I go back? 100% yes.. well when I'm back in SLC.

    A phenomenal restaurant in our humble opinion. When my family is in town, it makes four of us so we order the Mix for Four. It comes with a little bit of everything, a salad for each person, all the different meats that are offered on the menu on a bed of rice with peppers onions and tomatoes. We all enjoy each type of meat they offer from the chicken shawarma to the lamb kebabs. If you order your meal without garlic sauce you're seriously missing out. I can't believe I've never taken a picture but it fed four people who absolutely over ate. Then it provided six more meals from the leftovers! It's so worth it. As a mediterranean family we love the ambiance of the restaurant, it brings us back to our own culture that we don't really have here in Utah. My only quarrel with the restaurant is the service. We expect to wait forever, get forgotten and quite frankly ignored. Each visit has been like this and each time without fail we don't get our waters for about 20/30 minutes. With that being said I'd give this place the fifth star if they gave me even mediocre service, the foods been worth it to us and we keep coming back.

Every item on the menu is carefully made with love and absolutely delicious. The coffees and teas on the menu complement the food items perfectly and make the experience even more special. The seating area is on the smaller side, but rather than feeling cramped or overcrowded, it felt intimate. I cannot wait to return to Layla's!

    My wife and I stopped in for an early dinner on a Saturday. They had New England Clam Chowder as a…read morespecial and we ordered a bowl to share. I ordered the Beef Shawarma and my wife got the Musakhen with fries. The Clam Chowder was good. I've certainly had better, like at Market Street in town or at the Brigantine in the San Diego area. The server was kind of stumbling over his words when he described it and until it arrived I wasn't sure if it was going to be New England clam chowder or Manhattan. He proclaimed that it was the best clam chowder you'll ever get at a Middle Eastern restaurant and I can't really argue about that. The Beef Shawarma is served in a wrap that is open at both ends and cut in half. They put a small portion of pickled items on the plate and dust everything with sumac powder. The beef is thinly sliced. I really didn't enjoy the flavor. The greens in the wrap were extremely bitter and in my opinion it made for an unpleasant flavor. Maybe I just got extra bitter greens on mine but it was overwhelming everything else. I didn't like that the wrap was open, I had to lean over my plate as I ate because the sauce was dripping out and I didn't want to get it on my clothes. Eventually I gave up and used my fork to pull the meat out of the other half so that I could avoid the bitterness. The Musakhen (that's how it is spelled on the menu) was also a wrap. I tried a bite and I liked that better than the beef Shawarma but I still didn't really like something about the flavor. The fries were nicely crispy and fresh but there is a seasoning on them that really wanted to be on my fingers more than it wanted to be on the fries or my napkin. Like no matter how hard I tried to wipe it off there was still some of it on my fingers. Once again there was something about the flavor I didn't really like. My wife eventually offered up some of the aioli and it made it a little better but once again I didn't really like the flavor of the aioli. So for whatever reason the flavors there just aren't for me. My wife on the other hand was very excited about everything and was talking about all the things she was going to try the next time we visited. I didn't want to be a negative bummer during the meal but I was thinking she was going to have to come back with someone other than me. The restaurant is nice and they have very good service. There were a few other tables of large groups and it seems like this is a place that works well for get togethers. Parking is not adequate at all. We got a spot but only because we got there at 4:50 for dinner. I overheard other people talking about the trouble they had finding a spot.
