Salam - New York

This restaurant has a cozy and relaxing atmosphere that feels more like home than a traditional dining spot. The lamb rack was absolutely delicious and worth the wait. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that the lamb meat comes from a halal certified source. Amazing!

I have been coming to this restaurant for 30 years, as someone who grew up on Middle Eastern cuisine. The food is always fresh and full of flavor, the atmosphere is beautifully designed with authentic Middle Eastern furniture, and it is a peaceful and quiet setting. Additionally, the prices are very reasonable.

I was very disappointed with the food at this restaurant. I had high hopes for it to be good, but unfortunately, it was not. The salad was overly soaked in vinegar, the salmon was cold, and the serving of rice was extremely small. I tried to address my concerns with the waitress, but she just brushed it off saying everything was fresh and that's what I ordered. I couldn't understand why she didn't ask why I found the food inedible. Additionally, I was surprised to see that there was not a single non-white person at a Syrian restaurant. I felt the need to share my experience on Yelp and Google.

The atmosphere in here is adorable, and each item of furniture contributes to the very well curated vibe. The food was tasty and felt very homemade. You basically feel like your at your Moroccan mother?s house when you?re in here. The service was incrediblyslow, but that?s because there was one server for the whole restaurant, and she was very relaxed and in no rush, contributingeven further to the vibe.

We were kicked out for taking pictures of the decorations. The server lady inside (presumed owner) was rude! She was rude from the moment we set foot inside don’t get me started on the discrimination when we started speaking Arabic! I’m Mediterranean and this is not how we treat people.
