Roman Zaman Damascene Cuisine

First time going here and food was amazing. We had 2 beef kababs with fries, and mini chicken shawarma wraps served with a side of rice. We also ordered a salad and everything tasted fresh. The restaurant decor and facilities were beautiful and well maintained. My only concern was that staff were not attentive. Usually you're supposed to go around to tables and ask if we need anything or ask how the food is. We had to call for assistance several times for requests. Even when we wanted our bill we had to yell across the room and ask for it. I would come here again however because the food was great. I just think management should kindly let their staff know this.

We were there just before their kitchen was closing, staff was super nice and friendly and accommodated to adjust the dishes since some of our order were no longer available -- recommend going there a bit before 9 pm (since thats when the kitchen closes) Food was great, sausages were slightly sweet with crispy fries. The kebab platters were very flavorful too (i took the chicken skewer). The dessert was baked and it was very creamy with pistachio on top (loved it)

Some vegetarian options, for the price I feel the food was not worth it. We had 7 people and the table we got was a bit stuffy/crowded. The pistachio ice cream was the highlight of the meal. Servers were very kind.

The chicken shawarma platter was a highlight—juicy, well-seasoned rotisserie chicken paired perfectly with pickles and garlic sauce. We also tried the hummus topped with beef, almonds, and pomegranate, served with bread—it was absolutely delicious and definitely something we'd order again, as it was among the best we've had. The Turkish tea and kunafa were also enjoyable. While the prices were reasonable, the service was average on both of our visits.

This place is great! The food is authentic and portioned really well. The only reason why I tacked off a star is because service was a bit slow for a Saturday night. It took a while to pay for our order and for us to even put it in.

Went there for iftar, and although they don’t have the open buffet option this year I still loved all the food we ordered. Came on time, went to pray maghrib and 5 mins later the food was hot and ready. Always tasty and great customer service! I also loved the Fatteh the most, so delicious!

The food was unreal as always! service was perfect, a really lovely atmosphere. We had Dema as our server and she was fab - a 10/10. We will be going back soon :)

I wish I could've given this place a ZERO We came here for eid dinner 5 ppl and we the most HORRIBLE experience EVERRRRRR they have no heat there's 1 guy is taking order we asked him for a platter to feed 5 he suggested the roman zaman mix grill for 60.00 +tax after 1 hr of waiting when the food came it was a plate not a platter the plate could only feed 1 we also got the authentic Syrian sharwama 7 cut pieces came for 24.50+ tax after I told him that's not what you told me he told me he argued with me and then told me I can add more to my order. I just fine that to be misleading customers. My over all experience is HORRIBLE and I DO NOT Advice ppl TO COME HERE unless you super rich because they're over priced i would NEVER EVER come back here. What a waste of time trying to get rich fast.

Food was good A bit on the pricy side for some dishes Beautiful decor & ambiance. Food took too long to come to our table, & it was a struggle to get waiters attention. Seemed new to job & forgetful.

We visited here on a Saturday evening. When we arrived at 7pm, there were several available tables, but all the tables were full when we left. The restaurant is decorated in traditional Syrian style and they offer good quality Middle Eastern cuisine. The portions are good with fair prices. We ordered Tabbouleh Salad, Hummus with Beef, Fattet Hummus with Beef Shawarma, Roman Zaman Pizza (Saj) and Roman Zaman Shawarma Platter. Our food was delicious (the cheese in Saj was rather too salty) and we were so full that we couldn't order desserts, even though two of us shared one platter. I would definitely want to come back here to try more from their menu.

Roman Zaman has been such an incredible place to have breakfast and lunch when you have a spontaneous decision to go out for food. Each time I have gone the food has been incredible. Although a very busy place, someone is always at the door to greet and seat you somewhere. The staff are direct and quick to get your order which is actually really nice because you avoid those fake conversations that occur because they want tips. The staff here are ready and polite when they get your order and provide you with it in efficient time, which I loved a lot to be honest! The ambiance is actually flexible so to speak. Many people do come here dressed super casual, but even if you were to dress up you wouldn't be "out of touch." You would still fit in. The ambience is catered to both fancy and casual. So do wear what you choose, it gives off a fancy and classy vibe simultaneously. This place is in a plaza so there is ample parking but there is limited parking directly in front of the store.

Beautifully decorated restaurant with traditional and ornate serving pieces that adds to the enjoyment of your meal. Everything was presented elegantly and the food was full of flavour. Great middle eastern food! Our server was lovely and answered all of our questions about the menu. Worth the drive to Mississauga!

This was a nice experience for me. Went there for dinner Very nice ambiance. Great staff. Our waitress was very helpful walking us through the menu. The fried cheese (I forgot the name) was very good. I had the Roman Zaman Mixed Grill. The rice was the most flavorful I've ever had. I recommend you check it out.

One star for the bad attitude and horrible service. I ordered a jalab it came watered down. I mentioned it she brought me the second drink and slammed it on the table. Didn't even wait for me to try the drink. I'm visiting from California I thought people in Canada are nicer but I guess it's all the same shit.

Great food, ethnic vibes! The ambiance seemed a cross between modern contemporary and traditional . We loved their shish tawook skewer and Fattet Chicken the most. Their beef with hummus was an extraordinary dish. The juicy note when you bite onto a pomegranate seed and the meaty texture of grilled beef along with the smooth richness of hummus - an explosion of flavour in mouth!

Came here with some friends for a quick lunch. My friends both ordered the shawarmas and I ordered the sausage and egg Fokharat. I enjoyed the sausage, however the overall dish had no flavour and was very oily. The shawarma was also a bit dry. The servers took a long time getting our order and getting our food. I really enjoyed the interior and ambiance. I would come here for a snack or share a grilled platter.

Very cute Syrian style restaurant with authentic decor and a fountain in the center. The food was excellent (we ordered mixed kebabs, shawarma, meat saj, arayes, tabouli, fattoush, and hummus) and especially loved the fresh mint lemonade! Service was great as well. For dessert, we got the kanafeh (which is made fresh and takes 15-25 minutes depending on size, so try to order in advance). Unfortunately, they were out of the pistachio ice cream which is the only thing that would have made this visit even better.

Omigosh, what a gem of a find!! Came here for dinner with a friend and was seriously blown away. The service here is as super good, felt they were attentive and the food came so fast. We tried the chicken hummus (my favourite) as well as another mixed kebab dish. I could seriously write about the chicken hummus for days. It had juicy tender warm pieces of chicken, pomegranate seeds, sliced almonds, all with a bed of creamy dreamy hummus and pita for days. We were so full after eating half of our food and brought the rest to go. I will definitely be back for more!

Having lived in the Middle East for a long time, we ordered a Roman Zaman special platter for lunch-to-go - consisting of chiken shawarma (so very dry - tasted stale and rubbery - probably leftover from last night - freshened with cinnamon powder) with fries. The pickles were good. The order taker was excellent and provided the extra garlic requested. Not to be revisited EVER.................

Service was great 10/10! Food was great, we were starving so we ordered quite a lot. Portions were huge and so good. The inside feels a bit dated.

I ordered food today to be picked up it was terrible the meat and the rice was not cooked tastes terrible I lost my family dinner and wasted my money never again

I won't comment on their food because I've been here several times to eat and the quality of their food constantly changes. However, just last week I went to try their kanafeh and tea (my mom had their Turkish coffee too. At $8 the kanafeh is definitely Overpriced especially considering I live near Dearborn in Michigan where I never pay more than $3.50 for a slice of kanafeh larger than this. I will however say that because these kanafeh are personal sizes and always come out piping hot and fresh, I loved every bite of this. Not to mention the cheese was in perfect proportion and was delicious. I also thought the tea at $5 was a little overpriced but they provide enough for at least 2-3 small glass cups so we shared two of them in a group of 4.

Great food great service. Lots of parking. Great place to go. We had the tabouleh salad. Chicken skewers. Hummus. Eggplant dish.

Most Authentic Middle Easter restaurant In greater Toronto area. Syrian cuisine (Aleppo), came twice, once for dinner and other time for breakfast. Food is fresh , well seasoned and tastes very good, same for desert. Tried the kebba mix , fattah Shawarma, manakeesh, beans and falafel. Had kunafa and tea, it was very good. Excellent service as well. Great Decor. Agree with prior comments about need to change the water theme being served in metal containers as it throws the taste.

Been trying to come to this place for some time now, and finally had the chance to try it yesterday. The only good thing I found about this restaurant is the interior decorations and the presentation. Which is unfortunate because it's really nice from the inside, and the food presented nicely. Although i'm so against serving water in little metal glasses, you can so get a metal taste in the water. When I asked for a regular glass, i got some big bulky Mason Jar to drink from, which I couldn't do that neither! Since this was my first time and I like to try new items, I ordered a-lot of appetizers with the anticipation of them all being GREAT, but that wasn't the case. For someone who doesn't know middle-eastern food or doesn't come from that region, i'm sure it's perfect. But for someone's home cuisine, this was missing flavour, spices, texture and everything.. I ordered the following apps: 1) hummus with beef: hummus is below average, beef is cold beef shawarma cut (not fresh, not juicy) 1/5 2) Sausage, they only give like small 5 or 6 pieces, they were cold, no molasses in them, no flavour, just whole lot of flavourless spice! 0/5 3) chicken liver: 0/5 4) chicken wings: 0/5 5) tabouleh Salad: 2/5 6) Gargir Salad: 5/5 For dinner I order the chicken scallop, which might be so many other things but certainly NOT a scallop, this is not how scallops are made in a perfect world. The breading was bad, no crumbs, seems like they only use eggs and flour, presentation wasn't invited at all, it tasted more like fish & chips! As for desert, I ordered Kunafa hoping that this would save the day, because A real good kunafa is rare to find, and they said their's was the best. I honestly had one bite of my kunafa, and STOPPED! Probably the worst thing I've had in quite some time. Service was on the border line of 'okay-ish & bad'! The experience didn't go as expected unfortunately, and the food taste was probably the worst i've had in this category of cuisines. I will not return

Great decor, good vibes. Food is good but not amazing to the point I would personally crave for it. It's a good hangout spot for friends and family.

Quality is very important and this restaurant keeps a great quality of service and products. Serving portions are big and for some, u might be unable to finish the whole portion. It's a recommended sport especially for Halal food seekers

Ok this place is super awesome! My family and I came here with some friends and man were we blown away. Being Lebanese, I can appreciate and acknowledge good middle eastern food and Syrians know how to cook! Their flavours are different from ours but still just as tasty! The lentil soup I had was better than the one my mom makes! And my mom is an amazing cook!! So I was shocked when the flavours just kept on coming, the Fatteh was delicious, the Taboulé was tasty and the fatouch salad was different, I could have used some more sumac myself but it was a pleasant and satisfying different flavour pallet to a classic. I love the falafel, they had a perfect balance of cumin and the right amount of crunch. I think the only thing I thought was a little different and odd was my father ordered a chicken shawarma sandwich and they were served on a bun instead of pita. Don't get me wrong, he said it was tasty, but I'm used to it being on pita not a bun. I think next time I'd ask if they can put it on something different. Otherwise this place is going to be a regular spot for my family and I!! Check it out, oh and during the week... MAKE RESERVATIONS, it's always packed! Lineups out the door!

I've spent a lot of my childhood in the Middle East and as such I'm always on the hunt for food that takes be back to my days of innocence. Roman Zaman definitely scratches that itch. Tucked away in a plaza in the heart of Mississauga, this Syrian restaurant automatically transports you to the heart of old Damascus the moment you step through the doors. This place is fantastic for date night or a family gathering and I've been here for both. Every time I come, I always start off with the Hummus with beef, almonds & pomegranate dish. It's hummus with a strong aroma of garlic and tahini topped with chunks of well cooked beef strips and coated with juicy pomegranate. This appetizer dish is plenty enough to share amongst two or three people easily. For my main meal, I tend to gravitate towards the grilled options because what's Arab cuisine without some fresh kabobs? I highly recommend the Roman Zaman mix grilled plate. It comes with one beef kabab skewer and one chicken shish tawook skewer. Along with sides of garlic and tahini sauce and of course, freshly baked out of the oven pita bread. Highly recommend this place if you want to venture into a world of culinary delight!

Came here some time ago with a big group of people for lunch and we were not disappointed! Staff was on point and service was not super quick but it was great. Our server was friendly and looked after us. The meat was succulent, soup was great too! Would I go back? YES!

Created a quick video of our #weekend #eatout at @roman_zaman today! Must try : Sheesh Tawook and shawarma platter Ambience Service : Everyone is willing to help and has a welcoming smile Cost: CAD 40 for 2 adults #foodiefinds of missi

All that glitters is not gold is a perfect proverb which describes my experience at this restaurant! I was very thrilled about trying this new restaurant in the area and wanted to unravel the hype it had around it and to my disappointment the experience as far as the service and food was beyond pathetic! The only reason I would give it one star is due to the beautiful decor and effort to create a beautiful ambience apart from that that the restaurant has literally nothing to offer. We walked in on a weeknight and got seated.After being seated we actually had to call in the server to take our order for the appetizer which was humus beiruty and a soup.Well the humus was below average and dry and came out immediately after the order placed but the soup took another 15 mins to be sent to our table. Later we ordered chicken shawrma, mixed grill and kebabs.All our food came in intervals.First came chicken shawrma which was dry and flavorless.Next after asking for our remaining food the next two items came after a gap of 15 minutes.It all seemed like a joke to us-here we came to sit and enjoy this new restaurant instead we were served with our dinner in bits and pieces-All the mixed grill items looked appetizing but we're extremely dry and flavorless.They lacked the smokey grill taste to it.When we called the server and expressed our concern of the food being extremely dry she told us..THIS IS OUR STANDARD AND SAID TO ME YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE TO SAY THIS..HELLO???The staff needs to be trained to address to the complains/concerns in a better and more professional manner. We also had to call our server to give us our water glasses which I thought was absolutely bizarre. Lastly we didn't order any desert assuming the flavor would be as pathetic as the flavor of the food and honestly didn't have the patience to wait any longer!!

Beautiful decor. The food was definitely amazing. Amazing flavours. The hummus was delicious. It was my first time eating fattet yogurt, it was extremely delicious. Amazing flavours. Very satisfying. Fish and chips were really good. Labneh with falafel was delicious. Shamyah cheese was very good. The only complaint would be their customer service. Nothing special. Unorganized. Average. We did not feel welcome at all.

Always wanted to try this place. The decor looks amazing inside. But it was not to my expectations unfortunately Taste was just ok. Am an avid food lover for all kind of cultural food. But Roman Zaman did not meet my level. The decor inside was great. You felt you entered in another world. Very Middle East atmosphere. Looked it. The washroom was wow again with the decor. Customer service was good. No rude servers. Food 2/5 For the portion we received, I find it was not even worth the price on top of that the taste was not great. They are not flexible with the menu also. We took 2 starters that came with oven bread. And we asked if one of them can be changed to rice. It was a big no. Which I respect. The oven bread was good too. Sausage in pomegranate sauces-they came in as really mini sausages. Very dry amd got burnt ends. Merely got the sauce on it. Didn't even taste like anything. Falafel- very dark in color. Tasted slightly different from the falafel am used to. Was ok Roman zaman shawarma platter- beef & chicken. Very dry both of them. Didn't have a great taste to it. Get the strong taste of the beef. Portion was small for the price. The tahini sauce tasted great, their hot sauce was amazing. Don't think I want to go back there unfortunately. Not for me. To each their taste

So I came with high expectations after reading numerous glowing reviews and friend's recommendations- and Roman Zaman exceeded way beyond what I was expecting! The decor is magnificent from the minute you walk in, the walls are covered with beauriful murals- and I adore the fountain that's in the middle of the restaurant. Even the cutlery is ornate and matches perfectly with the glassware and plates. The staff are very professional, and provide the service of a 5-star restaurant. Now if it couldn't get better, the best part is their authentic Mediterranean/ Middle Eastern cuisine. The flavors of their dishes are exquisite. I had the chicken shawarma with fattet hummus, and I adored the sweet pomegranate seeds mixed with the savoury flavors of the chicken and hummus- it's something I've never experienced with any other shawarma-style meal. We also ordered their cheese and beef sausage saj, which is overloaded with cheesy goodness that it would put a pizza to shame! And if taste wasn't enough, even their plating is top notch and instagram worthy. This quaint little restaurant is a MUST EXPERIENCE in Mississauga.

After third attempt finally made it. They don't take any reservations during weekend hence ended up waiting and leaving the place for the lack of patience. Though food defined as Mediterranean taste it bit different than usual. From Damascus as they say. Anyways we ended up ordering mixed kebab which was good way to taste all three meat. Fatoush was disappointing as it tasted like other appetizers we took. The pic was deceiving and the meat served on hummus kind of thing. Loved the juices ordered mango and pomegranate. I like Turkish kadayif than this. Interior and presentation of food was picture worthy. Staff was friendly. Worth a time but I think that's all for me.

~ A solid 3.5 stars ~ This here is authentic taste of Damascus in the heart of Mississauga. My partner in crime and I wanted to go some place different and this place was it. The vibe and atmosphere was amazing and that is the reason for some hefty prices compared to others restaurants plus the service was a bit slow. Hence, that is the reason they gave me mixed emotions and received a solid slightly above A-OK rating. The experience as soon as you enter was amazing with right furniture in place and halal certification right at the entrance, slightly turned down by no one coming to seat us even though there were servers right there who weren't acknowledging us. Along came the manager or may be the owner, friendly person; had us seated and gave us a high chair as well. We started to look into the menu and the choices were plenty...Hence, we ordered a few items, so put their food to taste and tried their: - FALAFEL- Chickpeas mixed with parsley, onions, garlic, mint, chili powder, cinnamon, cumin and golden fried. This here was in the appetiser section but was like a meal. The felafels were big and tasted great, due to the fact they were made fresh. -ROMAN ZAMAN KIBBEH (MIX) - 2 Fried beef kibbeh, 2 fried potato kibbeh, 2 Fried Helah kibbeh and 2 Grilled Beef Kibbeh. Now Kibbeh was something new and it was like a Jamaican patty. Some of the types were amazing and some not so much. - ROMAN ZAMAN SHAWARMA PLATTER - Beef and chicken Shawarma, pomegranate molasses, garlic sauce. This here was not bad and the meat was cooked well. Presentation of the food was very well. The portion size were ok but as mentioned above the price was on the high-end and could get very expensive with a bigger family. I also got their Watermelon juices which was more like slushy but was amazing. They also have tall hats at the entrance to wear and a picture can be taken at their funky entrance seat. Overall, A decent place to try but can't be done on a regular basis. For my Muslim folks - The food here is halal, I confirmed with the server and their certifications are on the wall at the entrance.

I took my wife there on a date. We were not disappointed. The food there is so fresh and so authentic. You can taste the freshness in the food. We ordered their shawarma and we had the garlic chicken wings as starters. The staff were very friendly. The manager was very nice too. I can't wait to be back there! I'd definitely recommend people to check this place out!

I have been here one time with couple of friends, and i was expecting exquisite experience after being blown by the middle eastern authentic decoration and the copper utensils, the cleanliness and the elegant service. I gave it four stars because of the freshness and the service of the restaurant, not because i was satisfied with the experience from syrian cuisine. The prices are pretty high I would say for the quality and the size of the items on the menu. We ordered chicken and meat shawarma, which in my opinion hard to get right, the chicken shawarma was tasty, flavorful, the thing I didn't like is that it was not roasted perfectly, and didn't have the grill taste which middle eastern shawarma is famous for, in addition to that it was stuffed with french fries which didn't add anything. The meat shawarma wasn't as tasty, but well stuffed with meat, and it tasted nothing like an authentic lamb shawarma. One more thing we ordered and it was claimed to be authentic, cheese manakish, they said it is stuffed with baladi cheese, which on the contrary was stuffed with processed mozzarella that is not as flavorful. I will give this place another try to taste other menu items.

Best food in town!!! 10 out of 10!!! I loved it. Everything is like homemade. We had dinner and breakfast and I'm the food was soooooo gooood!!!

the decor is beautiful & everything is very traditional. The servers are dressed up and the cutlery and cups are gold. There are a lot of artifacts and it's very interesting when you walk in. You can see into the kitchen and see a huge fire in there wood oven BUT THATS IT. That's the only things I liked about this place. All the food is À la cart & over priced for what you're getting. I got a beef shawarma and it was 12$ and so small and so sub par. I've had a better shawarma for 5$ I was so so so disappointed. I had four bites and put it down. My boyfriend got the lentil soup that was served luke warm and was very plane. I was so disappointed in this place after hearing the hype and would never go back. Also the gold cups are beautiful but all you taste is metal when drinking from them. ugh left this place so un impressed.

Huge portions, lovely interior, and yummy food. Initially i thought the prices were too pricey, but after recivieing my food i there was no way i can complain about the price given the enormous pile of shwarma that sat in front of me. We first ordered the potatoes and they are fantastic! Crispy on the outside, but hot and soft on the inside, and seasoned perfectly. Next we ordered some shwarma platters and they were XXL. i gotta say that the chicken shwarma was miles better than the beef, but overall the shwarma dish lacked flavor and was rather bland. They also gave us flavored rice and this sweet bread on the side, and they were probably my favorite lol...i liked them much more than my shwarma. If my review was based purely on the shwarma it wouldnt land more than 3* but the potatoes, sides, and portions were really something else!

One of my friend had recommended me this place. When someone recommends me something I make sure I go to that place and order almost everything they have and thats what exactly I did over here too. I had ordered for starter Cheese Falafel Saj, Hummus and Mutabbal. This was the best fresh Saj I have had in Canada by far. Main course I ordered Roman Zaman Platter, Sheesh skewer, Arayes and Fattoush. After taking my order the server asked me "Sir are you sure this isn't too much?" I don't regret ordering all this because everything I ordered was GOOD. Decor: 5.0 Service: 4.0 Food: 4.0 Overall this place is the best Middle eastern food you can get in Mississauga. Recommendation: Don't forget to order Saj !

One of the best restaurants I visited in Mississauga. The food is very tasty and the service is excellent. I would like to come to Mississauga to eat at Roman Zaman again.

I've been curious about this place ever since the sign went up a few months ago. Today, I finally had a chance to check it out. As I was sitting at the restaurant, I gave it a solid 3*, maybe even 3.5* in my mind. My rating kept changing towards the end of the day and right now, 8 hours after the meal, it's a ZERO (well, obviously it's 1 star because I can't give zero stars). Wanna find out why? Read on. The restaurant is beautiful. There's no question about it. It's probably the nicest Middle Eastern restaurant in Mississauga (side note: GOOD, at least that 1 star is justified). We came here on Monday, around 4:00 p.m. The restaurant was pretty much empty, with only one other table occupied. I must confirm what others have said before me: the service is really, really slow. Clearly, even if the place isn't busy. I have no idea how they handle busy dinner time (we were still there well after 5:00 p.m. when the dinner crowd showed up - that's how long it took to have late lunch there). I can definitely understand the other 1 star reviews. But I digress. We ordered the mixed shawarma platter (chicken and beef), a chicken skewer and a ground beef skewer. It took a long time to get our food, so I was hoping I would't be let down. Both skewers were fine but nothing special. The chicken shawarma was good and tender (though too bland for my liking) and the beef shawarma was awful. You could actually SEE how terribly dry it was. You could probably choke while trying to swallow it. The only thing that was really good was the pita bread. After we finished our meal, we waited for about half an hour to get our bill. 30 minutes I will never get back. Service seriously blows here. I doubt that any of the servers has ever worked at a restaurant. They all looked like they had no idea what they were doing the whole time we were there. Anyway, we're still at 3ish* here. Then my stomach started to feel heavy. And I wasn't the only one feeling this way. Mind you, we split one shawarma dish (basically half of it, since we skipped the super duper dry beef) and 2 small skewers (I only tried a little bit of both), so it's not like we just had a huge meal. It's now well past midnight and I still can't digest that friggin lunch. It keeps repeating on both of us. Ughh, so gross. And this, Yelpers, is a story of how to lose 3 stars within 8 hours.

So in short, restaurant gets a 4, manager gets a 1... Ok .. So: -the food is good -Portions are ok.. They should be more compared to the price - the decor was really nice - the manager is awful... He was busy making sure his suit looks good .. He ignored people waiting at the door for more than 10 mins even when there were a lot. Of empty tables.. He would call a waiter just to move a cup instead of helping like any good manager would do....

Rude Staff, bad customer service the guy who serve tables not welcoming with bossy attitude. I wait 10 min on door just to wait the waiter to guide me to my table , the food extremely bad I ordered chicken Shawerma plate and the chicken was dry and cold , the fries like junk the prices is not reasonable compared with food quantity and quality the order was Shawrema plate + chicken wrap + Salad and I paid 63$ !!!! I don't recommended to waste your money and time for this restaurant

I came here with my family and we all ordered different things: chicken and beef shawarma, mixed grill (chicken and beef skewers) , rice, fries, humus, baba ganoush, steak, rice pudding and kanafeh. Everything was just delicious! I have to say that the shish toukeh was the best item. The marinate was full of favour and the chicken was cooked till perfection: juicy! The eggplant dip had a smokey flavour which my family really enjoyed. The pita bread that they served on the side was warm and perfect. The pudding had such a warm vanilla flavour and the kanafeh was the prefect mix of sweet and salty. The price is well worth the food and service is excellent. The ambience is very cultural and the brass glasses give you a complete experience. Me and my family will surely spread the word and come back to this gem!

I came here on a weekday at 7 p.m. The decor was nice. Even the servers were dressed up in traditional outfits. Everything Was beautiful, from the salad serving dish to the knives and forks. The food was slightly overpriced. Paid about $17 before tax for literally two handfuls of food; the fried kibbeh. When you order some of the kebabs, its like $16 and the rice is not even included!! You can go to bamiyan kabob, and get two skewers, and salad. And the naan! I had a cold appetizer, Muhammara, which was a pomegranate syrup mixture with bread crumbs. It tasted very bitter and I would not recommend it. However because of the atmosphere, that's really what you're paying for. I would recommend this for a nice night out.

I went on a Friday night with a friend. They don't take reservations on Friday nights. We arrived at about 8:40pm. There was a huge line of people waiting. It took a while before someone greeted us (or should I say.. until we found someone to put our name down). The gentleman advised there was a 30 min wait and that they close at 10pm. We decided to stay and wait because we were eager to try this place out. While waiting, I noticed how poor the service is.. tables were not cleared right away. No wonder the wait time was so long. After we were seated, we sat there and waited.. and waited... Nobody approached us to ask for drinks or to take our order. We told 3 different servers who walked by that we were ready to order. TERRIBLE SERVICE. My friend got one of the kabobs.. I can't remember which one. I ordered the Labneh with Falafel Saj. Not a fan of Labneh so I substituted that with veggies and tahini sauce on the side. The food was good. We both ordered tea. We had to remind 2 different servers that our tea hadn't arrived yet. I'm not sure if they are understaffed, if they require some organization, or the staff is just not properly trained.. There were large groups, couples, and families. The restaurant is nicely decorated and pricing is fair. The service was awful and doesn't make up for the good food and fair pricing. I would not go back even if they paid me to.

My girlfriend loves this so she has taken me here at least twice by now. Full disclosure: I usually don't like middle eastern food, so this review is definitely biased. It's the first time I had Syrian food. I couldn't really tell the difference between Syrian food versus any other type of middle eastern cuisine. The decor was really cool. The cups, utensils, cutlery, plates, pitcher and everything else was very traditional. I even brought my parents here just so they can enjoy the decor as many halal restaurants don't do a good job at that. The food for me was okay . My girlfriend and her family loves it. However my family and I thought it wasn't anything special. I have had their lentil soup, salads, their mankeesh, kebabs, traditional style pizza, and hummus. I'd recommend experiencing Roman Zaman at least once. Even if you're not hooked on like my girlfriend, you won't regret giving it a try !

I came here this past Friday with a friend , both of our first times. The restaurant was fairly busy, but not overly packed. We got seated after only 5 minutes. My friend is vegetarian and we decided we would share a few dishes. The owner/manager came to us and asked us how we are doing, and we asked him which vegetarian dishes he could recommend. He was very helpful and we went with 4 of his suggestions:1. Cheese saj 2. Fattoush salad 3. Garlic potatoes 4. Fattet Humus and Pom. All of the food was fantastic! Fresh, full of flavor and very tasty. We were very impressed and will be back here again. Service was also on the ball, with a very attentive and polite server.

Excellent food and decor. Went for brunch with a party of four during a weekday at 11:30am. It was our first time. Although we had reservations, there was no wait for walk-ins then. Lunch is when the establishment began getting busy. We ordered mint tea and numerous dishes; hummus, manakeesh; zaatar and cheese with meat and chicken, fatet lahmeh, saj: labaneh and fattoush salad. The salad was dressed with pomegranate and was delicious! I still have a craving for it. The owner came to our table to ask if all was good, which it was. Some reviews indicate the service is not up to speed. It is a new restaurant still, give it a chance (their food is really good! You won't be disappointed) and time to adjust. Despite their slow service at times, the servers do their best to accommodate. I'll definitely be back.

We keep coming back to this place because my friends and I love it! Their food is so delicious not to mention the rice! I don't know why but I love their rice so much. When we go, my friends usually buy platters to share because portions are big.

Host are too rude ! Not professional!!! Never again , I wish the owner of the restaurant find out about it before he loses more customers!!

So we went there on a Saturday. For starters we ordered the sausage which was too dry. Shawermas very extremely dry as well. The mixed grill has no taste at all. All the meat was hard . Its really overpriced restaurant.

One of the worst places to eat Went to have lunch , ordered kababs and what i got was 6 tiny little pieces of cold grilled beef chunks ..! This place is disgrace for middle eastern cuisine..! The only good thing about this place is the decor and the way the place looks ...! The waitress was rude , not even a smile or a word of welcoming . If i can give it less than a star i would've but i cant so here is a half star for it and never EVER goin back .
