Very nice street side eating experience. The chicken, hummus, baba, fries and everything else really was just wonderful. Very convenient from the trams too (I was using #13). Food came out quickly and the service was friendly. The baklava was different than I am used to, but still good. Honesly tor the insane prices that is all of Zurich- I found their prices here quite reasonable.

I dined at Sham’s Restaurant with my family of six and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant offers both outdoor and indoor seating, creating a comfortable atmosphere for everyone. We tried a variety of dishes including Kebab Shami, Rind Shawarma, Poulet Shawarma, Shish Taouk, and Merguez, each of which was flavorful and well-prepared. To end our meal, we enjoyed the dessert Sham’s Verführung, which was a delightful treat. Overall, it was a satisfying HALAL dining experience with delicious food and a welcoming setting. Thank you Delo and Hala for making it a little more special 🥰💖
