    Would’ve given rating 9 because of the food, but the service was extremely horrible that’s why this rating. They charged us much more than expected, for one of the items (meant for 2 people) they said it was actually for 3 people and when we asked them to adjust the bill they got very angry and did not admit their mistake. Almost felt initimidated and we got very stressed with this anger. He threw the adjusted bill on the table with full force as if he wanted to break the table. Not friendly customer service at all.

    Eating at Sham has been a very, very pleasant experience. The food is fresh, dishes are prepared at the moment and the contain an unexpected variety of vegetables, and herbs. Delicious sauces and flat bread accompany the courses, which are tasty and filling. The chef is very kind and tells you all about preparation and ingredients. A nice truly Syryan cuisine experience and a vegetarian paradise.

    We ordered the set meal for two. To start, the waiter brought a large tray of various meze with salad and flatbread, and explained what all the dishes were. Absolutely delicious and a meal in itself. We needed a rest before the main course! Next it was two hot vegetable dishes with rice and two different kinds of bulgar. Lovely! We were very impressed with the food and the service and we will definitely return.

    Everything we had was delicious. Almost everything is vegan and in any case all vegetarian dishes can be veganized. Service is a bit slow but I think it’s a good sign, as everything seemed pretty much homemade. Would definitely recommend it!

    Very tasty food with great choices! The waiter was super helpful and took the time to explain all the dishes and suggested what would complement our chosen dishes. Overall it was really flavourful and the price is not high either. I definitely recommend trying it out :)

    Front end is a fast to go shop. Restaurant is in the rear end of the shop. Ambiente is okay but neither fancy nor cozy. Food is quite good. Service very friendly and quick. We ordered the Sham Royal as vegan option, Regrettably one Mezze was goat cheese and along with one main course came yogurt dip. Apart from these flaws we clearly recommend this restaurant.

    Excellent vegetarian food, big portions, lovely host who paid attention to details. They also had gluten free bread (which we do not find at every restaurant) for my friend who has an intolerance.
