Birthday dinner vibes at Sham in Worcester. My amazing friends spoiled me with a feast & it did not disappoint! We kicked things off with the trio of dips — beet hummus, classic hummus, & baba ganoush — all silky smooth perfection. Then came the kibbeh & the crispiest wings ever. For mains, we dove into the chicken shawarma wrap & the Sham mixed grill with rice — juicy, flavorful, & worth every bite. Of course, no celebration is complete without something sweet, dessert was hareese and kunafe. From start to finish, everything was bursting with flavor & the service made it feel extra special. Worcester foodies, this spot is a must-try!
Definitely a must try spot! Thankfully I was recommended this joint and I was impressed the crispiest wings ever.

We had the most amazing dining experience here! Everything from the presentation to the flavors was absolutely perfect. The platters were beautifully arranged with generous portions of grilled meats, kabobs, and perfectly seasoned rice. Every bite was full of rich, authentic Mediterranean flavor, tender lamb, juicy chicken, and flavorful kofta that melted in your mouth. The appetizers were just as impressive, creamy hummus, smoky baba ghanoush, and colorful beet dip, all paired with fresh pita and crispy falafel. The fries and stuffed rolls were a fun, delicious touch that everyone at the table enjoyed. The mint lemonade was refreshing and the perfect complement to the meal, cold, and bursting with fresh flavor. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive. It truly felt like a family-style meal made with care and love. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean cuisine and a great group dining experience. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit!
Absolutely wonderful first time visit! They have a well thought out menu and even go above and beyond if you order everything vegan & gluten free to make it look gorgeous! I've never had better falafels in my entire life and the salads were delicious! The rest of my family enjoyed the wraps and skewer entrees. We will be back!
Excellent food and service. Hasan was great and attentive. We enjoyed our mango and lemon/mint shakes as well. The rice with the Medhi Chicken was worth the trip all on its own.
We went here for dinner after the climbing gym nearby and it was the perfect way to appease our appetite. We ordered the hummus, yalanji, falafel, mendi chicken, and mixed grill. We shared it all and loved the beet hummus and garlic dip. With a large event going on in their banquet room as well, I was very impressed by our attentive server. Everything about our experience was enjoyable and I would recommend it. Parking was convenient with both a lot and street parking close by
Food is so delicious!!! And our server Hasan is great and accommodating. We finished a big meal. We had the Sham mixed grill, coconut yogurt appetizer, salad, hummus and lemon mint drink.
We went here for dinner and I can’t recommend this place enough. The food was cooked to excellence and transported me home to the Middle East from the first bite. The hummus in particular was divine - it’s nearly impossible to find the flavors and textures done so perfectly in New England. Our waiters were so kind, welcoming, and attentive. We will absolutely be back! 🥰
I don't leave many reviews, but this place truly deserves it. Our waitress, Ahlam, was very friendly, took our order and brought our food out in a timely fashion and made sure we were satisfied with everything. The food was by far the best Mediterranean food I have ever eaten, and we will definitely be back. We ordered the beet hummus, the chicken shawarma bowl and the wings; the chicken was perfect, the flavor was on point and the hummus was nothing like I have ever tried before, and definitely worth it if you enjoy beets. Oh yes! And you have to try the lemon mint drink, SO REFRESHING. I truly hope this restaurant stays around.
Food is fresh and delicious! Hasan our server is great! Very gracious and even gave us free dessert 🤩 we ordered the mixed grill, cucumber yogurt salad, hummus, greek salad and lemon mint drink. Everything so, so good! Highly recommend! Place is very clean even the toilets.
