I was honestly excited at first — the line was massive, which usually feels like a good sign. But once we got our food, my opinion changed pretty quickly.
To be fair, the ketchup was actually good. Unfortunately, that was the highlight. The fries were extremely greasy, and the shawarma seemed like it had basically gone swimming in oil. The filling — chicken, pickled cucumbers, and garlic — was very basic and didn’t stand out at all. The presentation didn’t help either; nothing about it looked appetizing or exciting.
Overall, I didn’t enjoy it. My honest, objective rating for Al SHAMI SHAWARMA is 1 out of 5.

This spot has quickly become one of our new go-to favorites! Everyone knows Paterson is packed with amazing halal eats, but this place? Their shawarma is top tier. And that white sauce everyone raves about, yes the hype is real. Actually, that’s an understatement.
Now, here’s where it gets spicy. The food is a solid 10 out of 10. The service, on the other hand, needs some seasoning. If I’m standing there giving you business, even hyping your spot up on TikTok, don’t give me attitude just because I’m asking to remove a few toppings. Girl, I promise it’s not that deep. Me making your job easier should not offend you.
Huge shoutout to the sweet girl named Diana who stepped in and handled the situation with total grace. The other one behind the register with the hijab though, huffing, puffing, eye rolling, acting like I asked her to climb Mount Everest. Unacceptable.
Anyway, back to the good stuff. The beef shawarma quesadilla I tried this time was fire. Their beef shawarma sandwich is already elite, but this quesadilla hit different. And that white sauce, I swear it healed my soul. Fries dipped in it could fix a bad day.
So yes, the food here is absolutely worth it, but management needs to refresh the lineup and hire more Dianas, people with chill energy and good manners. Because food this good deserves service that matches the vibe.
Here’s an update: We came here once again, and customer service still going down the drain. The same rude girl is still there, and how are you going to tell us you ran out of beef shawarma? Especially when it’s THE FAVORITE.

I ordered a double mix shawarma and a chicken shawarma meal, and both had hair in the food. Definitely not going back again.

So delicious but order ahead if you don’t want to wait because it gets very busy. Try to be patient with the staff as they are doing their best.

Delicious meat and chicken shawarma, also a great falafel sandwich, excellent service. I recommend it.

Only go during peak hours and weekends. If you go after 8:30 PM on weekdays or between lunch and dinner, you’ll get food that was prepared in advanced and just warmed up until it burns on the grill and served to you which tastes nothing like the fresh one. And you still pay the same price. When you go back to tell them you want the usual, they dump the old one, warm up/another burnt Shawarma and pack it up and give it to you. As a loyal customer, I’m pretty disgusted.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
I always buy my food from here, and they never disappoint! Their shawarma is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. Today was another great experience, the wrap was toasted just right, and the fries were hot and crispy. I also want to give a special shoutout to Dua, the hijabi girl who helped me. She is always so kind, welcoming, and provides amazing customer service every time I visit. It’s one of the reasons I keep coming back. Highly recommend this place!

The downstairs sitting area was way too cold they had the AC too strong but they put a lot of effort into a nice sitting area, love the fountain and greenery wood look.
The BEST shawarma in NJ hands down but they really gotta work on people skills. We asked for plates as a family of 5 and had to beg one by one they weren’t even making eye contact or listening

I had a great experience here! The food was absolutely delicious and clearly made with care. I also loved their new to-go boxes — they’re sturdy, well-packaged, and perfect for leftovers. On top of that, the customer service was amazing; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel truly welcomed. I’ll definitely be back!

I had a great experience at Al Shami Shawarma in Paterson! The food offers an authentic taste of Middle Eastern cuisine. I tried the chicken shawarma, and it was absolutely mouthwatering—fresh, flavorful, and worth the price.
They have a variety of shawarma options and also offer catering. If you choose to dine in, you’re in for a treat! To get to the dining area, you walk through a tunnel-like path that feels like a mini cave, leading into a cozy wooden hut. The space is beautifully designed and feels like you’re sitting near a peaceful waterfall—very unique and relaxing.
The staff is friendly, and the service is quick. The only minor downside is parking—it can be tough to find a spot during busy hours since it’s located on Main Street. But the food is definitely worth it. I’ll be back to try more of their menu!
