The Al Shami came out to our house for a rehearsal dinner to serve a party of 120 people. They brought their equipments and cooked the Shawarma. It was a huge hit. Everyone loved it. The staff were very friendly and pleasant. I can't thank them enough for their service and making our party more fun.

Take out kind of place. Had the chicken shawarma and beef platter over rice and it was delicious! The chicken was even better! So much flavor! The portion size was generous as well and you can tell it was very fresh. Would love to come back for more

I really enjoyed the shawarmas here. I ended up getting a double meat shawarma. It was delicious. The French fries were very good. I also got a chicken shawarma for later as the beef was amazing. It was really busy and the customers were nonstop in n out. The phones were constantly ringing. There were like 4 massive flanks of meat and the workers were slicing left n right. The place itself is very small from inside. Maybe 4 tables at most. This would have been a 5 star visit, but their air conditioning was not working. The restaurant felt like a sauna. It was blazing hot inside and very uncomfortable with the heat.

Really nice Syrian shawarma spot in the heart of Paterson. To start, service was good. The guy working the front was kind and easy going. Staff seemed all friendly. The place has decent seating space ( I believe there is way more in the back but didn't go to check it out). We ordered chicken shawarmas with fries. Fries were nice and crispy. The shawarma had a different flavor to it than what I'm used to but enjoyed it anyway. There is a lime flavor in it which I appreciated and crispy to the wrap. The garlic sauce was smooth too. Definitely recommend coming here

Still my favorite shawarma location in Paterson. Brought the kids to the new location this time. Normally I just do takeout. It looks like they have a ice cream in the front but it was not open. Maybe only in the summer?

Super tasty. We had the chicken shawarma meal and everything from the fries, sandwiches, and pickles and garlic sauce were all very dry tasty. The staff was also very nice. They have a get eat little spot with a cooler waterfall in the back which gives a great ambiance. That was a nice surprise.

Ever since my husband moved from Michigan, we've been woefully lacking in good Middle Eastern food. By chance, I realized that there was a whole strip of restaurants in Paterson, so I suggested we stop by after running errands in Paramus. We both had the chicken shawarma sandwich that came with fries, pickles, and garlic sauce. I wouldn't say it's Dearborn good, but it was very close. Chicken was tender and the garlic sauce was flavorful.

Got lunch here since a close friend recommended it. We usually get shawarma across the street from this spot. Food & portion was good but the garlic sauce lacked flavor. The meat wasn't as tender but still good. Might need to come back & try more off the menu

Best shawarma spot in Paterson hands down. Super flavorful and the fries are super crispy. Dining area cleanliness is questionable though :(

I visited Al Shami Shawrma for lunch today and found they had finally transitioned to their new location, just a few blocks away at 1139 Main Street. It's only been open a few days and it's great! The name seems to have changed slightly to Shawerma Alshami on the sign, but trust me, it's the same place. The food is exactly the same. Excellent! The menu and prices are also unchanged. The new store is bigger, with more tables as well as long countertop with barstools. There's a bigger cooler with a larger selection of drinks, which is nice. The employees are all the same and as always they continue to be friendly and welcoming. Also it seems like the service is now even more efficient and fast. I'm guessing the kitchen is an upgrade. Best of all, the parking is much easier at the new address.
