Al-Shami

Some friends and I went here after an event nearby. The restaurant was very empty, aside from a large party in the next door room. Despite this, the atmosphere was perfectly pleasant, and the food was delicious, with very generous portions and excellent value.

Great food for good value. Best Hummus I have had outside the middle east. The manager Ahmed made the experience for us with his excellent banter and friendliness.

I visited this restaurant for the first time while I was staying in the hotel on it. I ordered Chicken kebab. It had a very delicious souse. The chicken kebab was well done but still juicy. The salad was fresh also. Atmosphere was fine, wasn’t noisy.

Very delicious food with a relaxed and family-friendly setting. Our server Manar was excellent and advised us on what he would order, and it didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend.

Long-established Lebanese eatery. Excellent food and service at a reasonable price. I’d recommend the charcoal grill section of the menu: I had an excellent (and enormous!) mixed grill. The chicken—shawarma dajaj—especially good. Perfect with the Lebanese rosé, Musar Jeune. Also try the Almaza beer.

Underwhelming dining experience. Lamb was excellent as you might expect. Everything else was below average with no attention to detail. We enjoy lebanese red wine normally but the quality of the wine here for the price was ridiculous. The staff do their best!

Absolutely outstanding experience at Al-Shami's. Strongly recommend the hot and cold mezzes, and as they suggest, 2 and 1/2 to 3 mezzes per person is perfect. Lovely and warm waiting staff who were extremely knowledgeable. Massive veggie and vegan selection, by far the most we've come accross from most restaurants, especially Lebanese joints. Wonderful, fun and amazing atmosphere in this lovely little restaurant, close to city centre and competitively priced, especially for Jericho. Don't miss this place!

Nice and cosy middle Eastern restaurant in Oxford. Food is delicious, slightly overpriced (or size of the portions could have been better or vermicelli rice could have given as part of the main meal). Waiting time and the order processing time are in the acceptable region :) The restaurant is very neat and clean. I would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks.
