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.

We recently visited Al Farooj Al Shami Restaurant and really enjoyed the food. The mixed grill platter was delicious, with juicy kebabs, well-seasoned chicken, fresh vegetables, and crispy fries. The hummus and side dishes were also excellent and full of authentic flavor. Portion sizes were generous and perfect for sharing. The staff was polite, and the service was fairly quick. The ambiance inside is traditional and comfortable, making it a good spot for group dining. One issue we faced was that the AC was not working properly, which made the dining experience a bit uncomfortable, especially during warm weather. Hopefully, management can fix this soon. Overall, great food with good value for money definitely worth visiting again once the AC issue is resolved

This restaurant was recommended by our colleagues, and it's our first time trying Arabic food. The food and experience were great! Thank you, Hassam and Ibrahim, for your excellent service. We'll definitely come back again.

Ordered 3 breakfast items, 1 of them came out wrong, we called back to tell them, that the order is wrong, even though it was very simple, one of the employee decided to replace the order for us and sent it again wrong. When we decided to tell them you were again wrong they started to put the blame on us. The order was so simple: 1 zaatar manakish 1 cheese manakish 1 Lahem bil Ajin with pomegranate molases ( open like pizza and thin crust) It came all folded, when they decided to change it, they sent a different Lahem bi Aajin accusing us that we didnt mention that we needed it with pomegranate molasses.

Great food and the samoon is straight from the oven but for some reason they only make it after 6pm otherwise you're stuck with labanese khubos that is cold.

I visited recently and was impressed. They have "dish of the day" which was frekeh and was super nice. Generous portions. Reasonable prices. I am happy 😊

This is our first time here. Thank you for assistance and good service. The ambience is nice, food is good, affordable price & the staff is kind. Special thanks to Ibrahim & Hassam the Manager for assisting us… definitely we will back soon. thank you! ☺️

"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!"
