Reviews
We ordered for delivery tonight for the first time (02/11/24) firstly we placed our order by phone my wife spoke to a really polite and helpful gentleman and the food was delivered in good time and was absolutely delicious ! This could be a new favourite for us. We had chicken Shawarma with rice and bread and chips on the side. I should have ordered the tzatziki to go with it but there’s always next time. Well done guys
This popup restaurant serves good food at a reasonable price: only open Friday and Saturday evening. It's run by just two people so don't expect perfect service, you will need to be patient, but it's worth it. The church hall is not the ideal ambience but I guess it keeps the costs to be kept down. If you want to try Syrian cuisine at home why not use the take out service. For the price it's good. Only soft drinks served in cans.
Myself and friends have eaten in, attended events and ordered home deliveries from Kabab Syrian Cuisine and the food is divine. I could eat their muhammara every day it's so delicious!
Having lived in the Middle East, it is some of the finest food from the region I have tasted! The friendly, accommodating service only enhances the flavours as it is cooked with such care and the music played in the restaurant makes a visit a wonderful experience. Shukran and we will be ordering again soon!!
We had a great meal yesterday evening. The owner and his wife were very friendly. The food was excellent (and also so nicely presented). Very good quality, good portions and reasonably priced. Highly recommend the tabbouleh, hummus and halawa.
Ordered takeout as a birthday meal for six people to eat at home. As someone who has never eaten Syrian cuisine and often has a hard time with food I am unfamiliar with I was anxious to try but everything was so delicious I needn’t have worried. I asked for a couple of changes to my order and the person serving us was extremely helpful and understanding and didn’t make me feel silly for asking loads of questions and making changes. He also helped me to decide what to eat by showing me photos of previously cooked dishes on his phone of what each dish looks like. He then labelled my box so that we knew which one was mine.
I can confirm that all of this food is cooked from scratch as the kitchen was in plain view of where we were sat waiting and we could see it being made and raw ingredients being taken out of boxes etc.
The shawarma was seasoned really well, heavy in flavour but not too spicy (I am quite sensitive to spice and could really appreciate the way this was made).
The garlic bread was nice, prepared in house and cut into adorable little heart shapes. Chips were also good and they were happy to provide some sachets of ketchup for me even though I would imagine it’s not a common condiment in Syrian culture.
We also got a few dishes to share between the group, including one of each of the desserts which were both absolutely gorgeous.
While we were waiting I put my phone on charge as it was on 2%, I then forgot it when we left and didn’t realise until we had gotten home. I called the number attached to this listing and they said I could come back and get it, staying open later especially for me to go and pick it up. Super sweet of them and I’m really grateful they were so kind as to wait for me.
Payment is cash only but there was an atm just down the road so we went and got some money out while they cooked our food and there were no issues with this.
I would assume this is a very small operation run by a local family, they were very sweet and happy to help with anything we needed. It was nice to know we were supporting a local vendor.
I would highly recommend Gillingham Syrian Cuisine and will no doubt be ordering from them again.
Thank you!
