I recently visited Syrian Grill and was thoroughly impressed by the authentic flavors! I tried the chicken shawarma, chicken kabab, and falafel, and every single one was delicious. The shawarma was perfectly seasoned and tender, the chicken kabab was juicy, and the falafel had that ideal crispy exterior while staying soft on the inside. The atmosphere of the place is very welcoming and cozy, making it a great spot for a casual meal. The service was also friendly and quick, which added to the overall positive experience. I will definitely be returning soon to try more of their menu. If you’re looking for real-deal Middle Eastern food in Louisville, this is a must-visit!

Absolutely amazing food! Portions are large which usually means it may be cheap quality but not this place. Everything was so flavorful, the tabouli was perfect, chicken tender and juicy. I’m critical of most restaurants, this one exceeded expectations. Thank you!

I had a great experience at this place! They have very good food, the service is fast, and I was happy with what I paid and what I got. Besides the condiments at the side of the table, which were a little unorganised and didnt look very clean (sticky sauce bottles), everything else was perfect! Totally worth visiting!

This zabiha halal spot is a winner! Their kababs and shawarmas are standouts – the chicken shawarma with fries was especially tasty. The kabab family platter was also a hit. The family section is lovely, with a water fountain, entertainment area, and prayer space. One area for improvement: service could be faster and more attentive.

The chicken shawarma tasted great, and I would definitely order it again. Unfortunately, the waiting time was much longer than expected and not as advertised. Improving order timing would make the overall experience much better. We’re glad to have a place with this kind of vibe here! We came from Indiana and really loved the fountain, and the prayer space is an amazing addition. Hope the timing issue gets fixed!

Got off the highway for gas, heading north. And accidentally discovered this place. Oh my! What great food! We didn’t dine in as we were short of time . We did take out. The sandwiches (wraps actually) were hot, wrapped well. Full of flavor and delicious. I could taste coriander seeds actually. The baba ganoush had amazing grilled flavor with nice seasoning. Never had baba ganoush like this anywhere! The prices are very low compared to quality of food. From now on, I will stop at this place whenever I travel through Louisville KY.

I was looking for an Arab restaurant and finally, I found this restaurant.
The food portion is more than enough. It tastes very delicious.
The ozie lamb will blow your mind, the meat will melt in your mouth intestinally.
The chicken shawarma had a very nice texture and spices with a lot of garlic sauce.
The staff were friendly, helpful and very accommodating.
I highly recommend it.

We were visiting Louisville downtown and looked for authentic Mediterranean cuisine, we tried one and then the next day we tried Syrian Grill and Syrian Grill was best of all
The atmosphere was cool and it looked like authentic Arabic houses in historical places.
The place was very clean and had a comfortable dining room.
The staff were very nice and welcoming.
The food was tasty and smelled good
We placed our order and it took less than 30 minutes to get served, the chicken shawarma wraps were the best part, the grilled chicken thigh was so tender and juicy.
The fattoush salad was perfect and not too sour.
The prices are fair and the service was great.
The fries were not greasy and fresh.
They also have desserts like chocolate cake, baklava, and gelato ice cream but we didn’t have room for sweets this time.
Enjoyed the experience here and will save the place for my next visits to Louisville.
Their menu is all Halal and they have vegetarian options too.
Highly recommended
