Al Shami

Best Known For

Mansaf Lamb: basmati rice topped with slow-cooked lamb shank, nuts and Jordanian jameed sauce.

Al?Shami is a standout Syrian-Middle Eastern restaurant on Railway Terrace, right opposite Merrylands train station, offering authentic cuisine in a spacious, culturally-themed setting. The interior features a Damascus-style fountain, regional decor and ambient Syrian music, creating an immersive dining atmosphere from a menu designed for sharing and communal enjoyment. Spanning hot and cold mezze, grilled skewers, lamb shank and roasted chicken, start your culinary adventure with falafels with tahini sauce, or fried eggplant and parsley; moving onto mains such as grilled barramundi fillet with rice and salad. Perhaps chicken shawarma hits the mark, served with basmati rice, yoghurt and cucumber, or a mixed kofta plate with falafels, tabouli, baba ghanoush, hummus and garlic dip.
