"Al-Shami is the BEST Mediterranean restaurant in Rhode Island, HANDS DOWN!! I genuinely don’t think it’s possible to order something bad here. Every single thing we’ve tried is insanely good and so fresh! I’m literally eating my leftovers as I type this because I felt so compelled to leave a review mid-bite. That’s how good it is!"

"This is honestly the best shawarma I’ve ever had! The meat is juicy, the vegetables are fresh, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. On top of that, the service is amazing – the girl who cooks and serves does everything with such care and friendliness. Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and top-notch service – I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!"

"Fresh.. health amazing taste that stands out above the rest. Spices and flavors are definitely traditional and home made. The owner definitely takes pride in every part of this dining experience. Highly recommend."

"Absolutely phenomenal. This Syrian restaurant served some of the most soulful, flavor-packed food I’ve had in a long time. Every bite tasted like it was made with love and tradition passed down through generations. The kibbeh was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, paired with a cool garlic dip that tied it all together beautifully. The falafel? Crispy, fragrant, and absolutely bursting with flavor. And the shawarma wrap? A masterpiece. Juicy chicken, tender lamb, fresh veggies, crispy fries inside. Every layer was cooked and seasoned to perfection. This isn’t fast food. This is food made straight from the heart. You can taste the care in every detail. Will definitely be back!"

"WOW WOW WOW! ✨ Ive had a lot of middle eastern food, and this is some of the best! Al-Shami is “Home of the Arabian Delicacies” and not a single lie was told. We ordered the Chicken Shawarma and Kufta Kebab Plates. We were given a falafel each since the chef/owner said it would be about 20 minutes since we came as soon as it opened but he has fast hands! The falafel was delicious. The meat was well flavored, the rice fluffy and cooked to perfection. The star of the show was the garlic sauce! A little tart and rich with garlic flavor which rounded out every dish. Don’t sleep on the side salad either! We basically INHALED the food. Cannot wait to return!"
