Hands down the best Levantine food in Amsterdam. The taste is very authentic, ingredients are fresh and portions are very generous. The service was fast and the staff is incredibly friendly. Been to Sham few times and will always chose this place whenever I crave a taste of home :)

Close your eyes, and swallow a piece of Syrian taste! We were back in Alepo when eating at Sham, from the warmth and kindness of the people to the amazing quality of food, allow yourself to spend a night in the beautiful Sham region, pure delights! Definitely on the top list of my favourite restaurant in Amsterdam! Thank you!

So disappointed, the service was not okey. Before leaving I went and talked to the owner that I was not happy about the service sinds I have been coming for years. Before I stepped the door I could hear him laughing with his employees.

While finding good food in Amsterdam is hard, Sham West never disappoints, every dish is so good. It’s definitely one of the best restaurants in Amsterdam.

This is a nice find off the tourist paths. Sham is a neighborhood Syrian restaurant with pleasant, attentive staff, good flavors and excellent presentation, and a good variety of beverages. Get a side of veggies to balance the meat & rice plates, and you'll be in good shape.

We enjoyed and excellent lunch with some amazing Mezza followed by falafels and charcoaled shish taouk. The friendly service, generous portions, fabulous flavours, and quiet neighbourhood led to a wonderful dining experience.
