+3The dinner was to introduce a friend to Syrian cuisine. Sham West was an excellent introduction. My friend loved the food. He also commented on the ambience - that it was almost like being in the Middle East. Everything was fresh and flavourful. Service was pleasant and efficient even if the restaurant was full. The only minus point was that the regular menu wasn't available. Only large Iftar set menus were available. We were unable to finish our meals. Fortunately the kind staff readily agreed to pack the rest for us.

"Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted that you and your friend enjoyed the Syrian cuisine and the authentic atmosphere at Sham West. It’s great to hear that the food was fresh and flavorful and that our service met your expectations, even on a busy evening. We understand that it might have been disappointing not to have the regular menu available during Iftar, but we hope you still had a fantastic experience. We’d love to welcome you again soon!"

Had nice dinner by Yums Foods were nice , staffs are friendly We actually wanted to have meze special ( 9 dishes ) , wines & several sweets, because we love meze. Yet we were told that dinner by Yums need is to choose course menu, which we didn’t know. We didn’t want to because too much for us but accepted. After all,we couldn’t finish all foods which was not nice & couldn’t enjoy at the last moment, had no space to enjoy sweets or coffee/tee anymore which was pity. It would be nice that we could choose what we want to have even though by Yums

6/10First of all they mad us take 2 starters and 2 main dishes (one of each per person). Second of all for some unknown reason they served the mazzas and main dishes all at the meantime so the main dishes (meat) got cold. Average experience all in all.

8/10This was our third meal at Sham West. The food was tasty and flavourful but on this third visit the portions were smaller (the rice portions were disproportionately larger). The staff, except one, were amiable and efficient. The exception was one staff who insisted that, since we were three, we could not order the mixed starters for two. This wasn't reasonable considering that the mixed starters for two cost more than three single starters. We didn't want to make a fuss so we just ordered the mixed starters for three.
SHAM West • Owner
Thank you for your feedback and for being a loyal customer. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and found the staff generally amiable. We apologize for the portion size issue and the confusion with the mixed starters. We’ll address this with our team to ensure a better experience in the future. We hope to welcome you back soon!
