  An authentic Syrian experience in heart of cardiff. Went on a Saturday night with no booking but plenty of room as it’s a spacious restaurant with numerous seats. That being said there were people and families eating there and enjoying themselves and more importantly the food. Despite being in Cardiff, thousands of miles away from Syria, it truly felt like I was in a Syrian establishment. The food was as good as the atmosphere, as each bite contained a flavour filled punch of seasoning, smokiness and juicy meat flavours. I ordered the National dish, Kubba, which was an experience in its own right. A falafel, grainy like consistency on the outside, lightly fried and crispy, with a juicy mince meat interior that was filled with flavourful Lamb. For a main I recommend Laban Immo which was a new addition to the menu, a creamy, thick yogurt sauce/ stew with plenty of juicy lamb within, the stew like dish had a paprika touch and hint of lemony zest that compliments the possible fatty flavour of the lamb and thickness of the yoghurt. Essentially a very unique dish but super delicious. Finally the mango lassi which was thicker than I’m used to probably due to the yogurt used but absolutely worth it as it’s sweet, creamy and very fruity. A great restaurant that has as much of an authentic Syrian food experience as you could find in cardiff. Recommend this place if you have kids, a large family, solo, vegetarian you name it, they have it.

  A truly lovely experience at Shaam Nights. The food is authentic Syrian cuisine, full of flavor and clearly made with care and passion. What really stood out to me is that the chef is Egyptian, yet his cooking is world-class, and his manners and respect are exceptional. You genuinely feel welcomed and treated with kindness. Great food, comfortable atmosphere, friendly service, and very reasonable prices. Thank you from the heart definitely not my last visit.

  Absolutely amazing food and service. We got the platter for two with rice each which was plenty of food for both of us and so tasty! We had amazing service too, and were given complimentary sauce, mini desserts and mint tea! Could not fault the experience at all, definitely a great place to visit! And amazing value for money too, a must-try for anyone in Cardiff!
