Downtown Market Alsham Restaurant

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

My mother and I were in the area for a doctor's appointment, we were getting hungry and decided to try something a little different so we scouted around on Google maps a bit to scope out our options. We decided to give Alsham a try as we were driving past it anyways. The man running it (I presume the owner) was very polite and EXTREMELY enthusiastic about our presence as new customers. Once we ordered it took a bit longer than we'd hoped to be brought to our table but the wait was easily worth it. We both ordered the lamb shawarma combo plate. The serving size was quite reasonable for the price; lb was fantastic, well seasoned with a pleasant texture somewhere between chewy and tender. The rice I believe was a home made saffron seasoned white rice, and tasted wonderful with the lamb and pita bread. I enjoyed the stuffed grape leaves, though the flavor is quite intense and vinnegar-y. The surprise VIP of the plate, in my opinion, was the spinach puff. It was very flavorful with what seemed to be a hint of lemon and chopped walnuts in a fairly typical dough (possibly the same as is used for the pita bread.) Being a lover of sweets, I couldn't resist when my mother and I were offered a free sample of the house-made Baklava. I was at a loss for words and, call it hyperbole if you will, the flavor of it nearly brought me to tears. We ordered two pieces to go and went on our way. If I get the opportunity I will DEFINITELY be a repeat customer.

Friendly, family owned, small business, with fast service. However, the gyros was dry and pretty underwhelming in flavor.
