“ Very authentic Lebanese and Syrian cuisine. Bit tucked away behind Lane7 but I can't stress how much it's worth persevering to find/walk to. Genuinely some of the best Tajin and falafel we've had in our lives. First rate service, friendly to non-locals, really clean, wide selection. Wonderful experience, thank you Alsham! ”

“ This place has an outstanding service and great food, we came here for the iftar menu and both the food and the service were exceptional. A great combination of Middle Eastern hospitality and a unique mix of flavours. The place is very nicely decorated and it has a very lovely homely feel where the staff will be looking after you at all times. The iftar menu had a great selection of cold mezze, hummus, stuffed grape leaves, samosas, chicken wings, and much more. As for the mains they had also a few items on the menu such as makloube. I’ve really enjoyed the food, the drinks and the sweet desserts after. I highly recommend this place. ”
“ I'm blown away by the incredible food experience! The Chicken Mandi and Lamb Mandi were absolute perfection - the meat was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Even the kids loved it! The freshly prepared mayonnaise with a punch of fresh garlic flavor was the icing on the cake. And to top it all off, the complimentary mint tea was truly mind-blowing! The staff were so lovely and provided timely services, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended! ”
