Downtown Market Deli - Salem

Great food!!! So delicious! Their baklava is to die for!!! Their stuffed grape leaves were delicious. Haven't had a menu item I didn't find delicious! Fresh made, never frozen, they put real heart into their food

I dropped by the Alsham Restaurant on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. I saw they had a market underneath, but didn't know that not only do they have a lovely mom and pops convenience store below, but they also have a cozy little restaurant area upstairs with freshly made delicious Mediterranean food! I had some Lamb Shwarma and it was truly some of the best I've ever had. The lamb was cooked to perfection and it was served with a side of fries that were FANtastic. I could tell they were made from scratch and not just thawed out in a back room which is a nice change from the norm. Our server Tony (who, turns out, is also the owner) was the best too. He recommended us items, showed us around the shop, he even took a picture for me and my date! After our meal he asked about desert and when we unfortunately denied, he let us try a balaclava sample and now I might have to go back just for some of their balaclava! All in all it was a wonderful experience that I'd recommend to anyone and everyone in Salem.

My mom and I went here for my birthday and had a wonderful time. The food is absolutely delicious! In fact, my husband and I are going here today with some friends from out of town, for lunch. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you for such great service and good food.

On our way back from a trip to southern California, we decided to stop at this restaurant. Both my wife and daughter ordered the beef shawarma and thoroughly enjoyed it. I opted for the lamb shawarma and was equally impressed. The restaurant's seating area is located above the grocery section, creating a cozy atmosphere. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout our meal.

The owner, Tony, is amazing! The service is excellent. Everything on the menu is made in-house. The food is fantastic in terms of portion size, presentation, aroma, and flavor. I will definitely be returning to dine there. The samples of baklava were so delicious that I ended up purchasing some. Additionally, while waiting for my order, Tony engaged in great conversation and offered tastes of various delicious items.
