The kabsa tray — spiced rice, meat, nuts and raisins

The signature

Lamb mandi, finished over charcoal.

The kabsa/mandi tray: spiced rice, slow-cooked lamb, nuts and raisins — the centerpiece of the house, served for the whole table. Syrian-owned and strictly halal, the way it is made at home.

From the kitchen

No menu on file — just these dishes.

Said plainly: the venue publishes no merchant menu we could copy faithfully — so we record only what the real photo set shows: the kabsa tray, the mezze platter and the baklava trays.

The kabsa/mandi tray

Spiced rice, slow-cooked meat, nuts and raisins on one great tray — the centerpiece of the house.

The mezze platter

Damascus-style hummus, falafel, salads and dips with bread — the way a Shami table opens.

Baklava trays

Squares and triangles of nut pastry, syrup-glossed — the sweet end of the meal.

The hallmarks

Four things Al Sham is.
