Friday nite eats in Brooklyn! Ordered the chicken shawarma combo to go. This is hands down the best Shawarma meal I've ever had. The combo is served with picked veggies, coleslaw, seasoned fries and white sauce. Drove from Jersey to Brooklyn just for this meal! Our order did take a while but it was because they had so many orders to fill. Restaurant is clean and we could see how the staff prepped the food. Prices are about average for fast food but it's a must to try! Only downside is they take only cash and the ATM is like $3 to take money out. Staff are very friendly and explained different dishes we wanted to try.
The best costume service from Hadir The food was great it felt like back home I been eating here for the past two days straight
It was a beautiful day when I decided to dive deeper in to Al-Sham's menu. The chicken shawarma is not even their best menu item, have you even thought to try the kefta?? I ordered the kefta entree that comes with delicious fragrant saffron rice, hummus, salad - the works. Easily one of the most delicious plates of food available in Bay Ridge. The lamb kefta sandwich? To die for!! Beautifully grilled kefta kabab in fresh vegetables and sauce, lightly toasted w a crisp exterior. The juiciest, most delicious sandwich you can get your hands on for less than $15. Fries are just perfect- crispy outside, falling apart inside and so soft w light seasoning outside. Service is courteous and kind, the chefs tying kuffiye on young men outside. A true family run restaurant central To the community. I love getting food here and I hope you will too!
One of my favorite places to eat in Bay Ridge. My favorite is their Al-Sham Mixed Grill (#26) to make it to order so it can take about 25-30min. If you want to a little bit of everything that's the entree to order. It also comes with salad and rice or French fries. I recommend getting their rice. It's delicious. You don't eat as much like me it can feed two people. Or sometimes I even have left overs to eat for the next day.
I enjoy the shawarma platters here, very light and tasty. There is seating if you decide to eat in but I always order to go.
