  We have eaten in Alsham a few times. It never disappoints! The food is so flavoursome and delicious you can't ask for anything better! Accompanied by a wide selection of freshly squeezed fruit juices which are amazing here. We especially recommend Chicken Shish taouk and Aubergine moussaka. The chicken is sooo tender and juicy. Also the staff is very kind, although sometimes the waiting time is quite long. But the food is well worth waiting! Highly recommend.

  I want to start with the service first, it’s incredible. Not only were the staff extremely kind to my family and I but they gave us tea and baklava on the house which made my family’s evening. The food is peak I don’t know what else to tell you. The lamb kofteh is the best thing on the menu if I’m being honest but that may just be my opinion. There’s this garlic condiment that they gave us, it was lovely. I didn’t know the name for it but it tasted amazing. The overall atmosphere of the place is fantastical. It has a lot of Mediterranean decorations and lanterns which really establishes the restaurant’s cuisine the moment you step in. Overall a 10/10 experience in Alsham. Incredible service, food and atmosphere. Definitely coming back here in the future.👍👍👍

  I recently had dinner at Al Sham Restaurant in Newcastle and ordered the lamb mandi along with a mango juice. The mandi itself was well-cooked and flavourful, and overall the dish was enjoyable. However, the smoke flavour was quite intense—more than I personally prefer. It felt like the smoking was done very close to serving, which made the smoky taste somewhat overpowering rather than subtle. I also ordered what was described as fresh mango juice, but unfortunately it didn’t seem freshly prepared. It tasted more like mango pulp or a bottled juice poured into a glass, which was a bit disappointing given the expectation of a fresh juice. Overall, the food quality is good, but a lighter hand with the smoke and clearer distinction between fresh and bottled juices would improve the experience.

  The experience was absolutely wonderful in every way! The food had an exceptional taste with perfectly crafted flavors. Each dish was presented so beautifully and appetizingly. The service was excellent, and the staff were always smiling. The atmosphere takes you back to the heritage of old Damascus and the fragrance of jasmine. The place is elegant, filled with authenticity and comfort. I will definitely visit again and highly recommend it to everyone!

  The food was absolutely delicious! The pita bread was some of the best I have had. The portion sizes are VERY generous. The staff was very nice and the interior decorations were very beautiful.
