Al Farooj Al Shami Restaurant

We went in thinking it might be run of the mill type joint, which is quite common in this area. However to our surprise it felt quite upscale with matching service, food, presentation, ambience, selection and above all service (wait I said that twice). To me the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because of the parking and cooling. They had multiple standalone cooling units placed within the establishment. Out all the food we had, the falafel were excellent. Definitely a must visit if you are in the area and crave good Arabic food with decent ambience.

Taste & value is acceptable. Location. Is convenient in Riqqa st deira .

"I had an amazing experience at Al Farooj Shami in International City! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, with the grilled chicken and shawarma being standouts or the Lamb chops 😘 The flavors were perfectly balanced, and every dish felt fresh and authentic. It’s definitely a great spot for anyone craving flavorful Middle Eastern cuisine. I highly recommend it for a casual yet delightful meal. Will definitely be back again!"

Always best service and food . I am loyal customer from last 3 years specially thanks to the captain .

We visited Alfarooj Alshami Restaurant to celebrate my birthday, and it turned out to be a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, everything was absolutely perfect—the ambiance was welcoming, the food was incredibly delicious, and the service was top-notch. A special mention goes to the captain who took our order—he was exceptionally kind, professional, and attentive throughout our visit. He made sure we were comfortable, offered helpful suggestions from the menu, and treated us with genuine warmth and hospitality. His friendly demeanor added a personal touch that made our celebration even more special. Thank you, Alfarooj Alshami, for making my birthday so memorable. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!

I really like this place its clean and calm and nice for families too You should ask for ayman he’s really nice person and he will serve you good♥️

Warm and pleasant atmosphere with delicious food. Had the signature fresh fish with taste marvelous.

Felt no where else but Syria. Food is extraordinarily good. I've never liked Sheesh Tawook, but theirs made me change my mind. The Kibbeh I ate felt like the ones made by my Mama. The Burak were very delicious. Even their juices are completely natural. Awesome service, extremely polite and helpful staff. Would love to do it again and again. 10/10.
