Shaam Nights in Cardiff

It was the best restaurant with most delicious food ever. So tasty and pleasant food. Enjoyed it the most. Really great experience 🥰😋🤤

Absolutely fantastic! The food & the hospitality was superb, I highly recommend this place…I will be back again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My best restaurant, I've been there today, very deep culture, very nice food, generous amounts and very kind staff. Amr is a staff member, with a very kind smily face, very friendly and generous, I wish to repeat the experience. 100% recommend 👌

The nicest restaurant I've been to whilst staying in Wales, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. the The food was absolutely incredible. The staff were amazing, friendly and generous! Highly recommend 🙂

The greatest dining experience in the entire UK! As a food lover with very high standards, I'm struggling to find something decent out there. Many places I visited were disappointing, some were OK, but the Shaam Nights in Cardiff was absolutely DIVINE. I have never ate anything like that. Fresh ingredients, beautifully seasoned, cooked on spot. We will visit again...tomorrow 🥰😋😋😋 Thank you, guys.

Food was excellent. This is my favorite restaurant in Cardiff. service was very good. Highly recommended.

Fabulous lunchtime meal with my family in her birthday was the best at shams restaurant in Cardiff.

Llegué tarde a nuestro hotel el fin de semana, así que pedí una comida para llevar. La comida era increíble. Tuve el mezze mixto y era una cantidad enorme con el pan plano más delicioso. Todo sabía increíble. No puedo esperar para comer en nuestra próxima visita a Cardiff. ¡Gracias!

I visited Shaam Nights during Ramadan and, despite being late for my reservation due to traffic, the staff were completely understanding and kind about it. As it was time to break my fast while I was ordering, the food arrived in less than 10 minutes—perfect timing! The food was absolutely delicious with generous portions. I also really appreciated the spacious prayer area, and the entire place was spotless. The staff were warm, welcoming, and made the experience even more special. May Allah bless this business—they truly deserve it!

Fantastic food and loads of gluten free options.

Very nice place to eat, totally recommend it!

Authentic Arabic food rich taste! Lovely ambience during Ramadan time

Excellent tasty and healthy dishes.

Me and my mum came here for my birthday, the staff were really friendly, the food was absolutely amazing. This is hands down the best place for syrian food in Cardiff.

A truly wonderful experience! Would highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back!

Very nice place, amazing food, definitely coming back again 🙏🏽

Amazing food, staff were brilliant and made us feel very welcome as well! Would highly recommend anyone to give Shaam Nights try.

The food we have ordered was good and tasty. Nice staffs & atmosphere. Though the waiter forgot to serve the soft drinks with the food, but I think it's also my responsibility to check whether we have got all the items.

Delicious food and friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our time.

No pude entrar en Saray, ya que estaba lleno, así que intenté este lugar en su lugar. Mi coca caliente llegó después de 5 minutos de pedirlo. El pedido de comida se tomó a las 6. 20 pm Mezclar parrilla para mí y filete de solomillo para mi amigo. Después de 30 minutos de espera para la comida me estoy molestando (satay la semana pasada tenía la comida en la mesa en 3 minutos y también estamos muy ocupados) ¡Le dije a mi amigo que si no llega a las 7 de la tarde nos vamos! Llegó con 2 minutos de sobra. Para ser justo, disfruté el mío, pero mi filete de amigos no se parecía a ningún filete que hubiera tomado. Llamó al gerente e insistió en que era carne de res, bien hecho como se pidió. Lo intenté un poco, pero todavía estoy desconcertado en cuanto a qué carne era.

Bit disappointed with accessibility not good at all for wheelchairs, could just get portable ramp for the large step at the side entrance, also no fish available at such a busy time Friday evening, also no complimentary bread whilst waiting, lots of places do this now...

Rude waiters. They only accept cash (why?), and they have their own cash machine which charges £3.99 for with withdrawals. Extremely dodgy place.

Nice atmosphere, nice friendly staff and owner, good food and drinks, the coffee was absolutely sublime, one down, not sure if it's a regular thing, or it just happened to us, we had to wait almost 1 hr for the food to arrive, but everything else was perfect, will definitely go back...

Great restaurant with amazing decoration inside. We got the sharing platter for two which was excellent. People working there are really nice and friendly

Food was amazing. Reasonable in price but no alcohol

A wonderfully vibrant and ornately decorated Syrian restaurant with fantastic quality eastern cuisine. Every dish was delicious and staff excellent, great value too. Highly recommend.

Visited here last night for my birthday meal with my partner. It's not my first visit and it was as delicious as always and the staff are always friendly and attentive. We look forward to our next visit to Shaam Nights

Always a great meal at shaam nights. Very polite staff and great food as always. Thank you all at shaam nights 👍

The food and the service is excellent. Great quality products, decent prices. You won't be disappointed.

great taste, great service. awesome delivery too.

What a gorgeous experience. The food was amazing and the smoothies are so fresh and tasty. They are very hospitable and attentive, and it was so lovely to meet the owner, such a lovely guy! The interior is so beautiful and all the staff are very lovely. We will definitely be coming back soon! 😊

Lovely lunch dinning experience. Beautiful interior, music and food.

The best food I've eaten in Cardiff since I loved here last may! Absolutely 10/10. Will be back Monday

Food was so nice and portions were big. Staff are so friendly too. Lovely restaurant and can’t wait to go back.

Hands down one of the best places in City Road. Strongly recommended the Kabsa and the hummus is outstanding. Service is brilliant too. Can’t recommend enough.

I booked a table at Shaam Nights for my work colleagues to let them experience authentic Middle Eastern Cuisine. Both the service and food were impeccable. I ordered Mulukhiyah and it tasted exactly as in Lebanon! If you want to have fresh, vibrant and exquisite food I highly recommend Shaam Nights - you will not be disappointed!

Really nice food, friendly and prompt service, nothing was too much trouble. Softer lighting would’ve been nice but on the whole we really enjoyed our first visit and will be back.

Amazing place, food was delicious and well worth the price. Would come again!

Hi shaam nights sorry to post this but this is the truth I want to let you know as I have ordered one lamb biryani and one chiken biryani just a hour ago and received food which is really bad experience that for 30 pounds I got a chiken biryani with no chiken In it and also for lamb biryani got only 2 pieces of it which I don't why this happens when sending a food to customer as it's a expensive food every customer need to treated well even it's a delivery order as I have ordered food first time by seeing the reviews but I don't think this is a good choice thanks for the food which is expensive with worst experience and also got plain rice with no gravy and meat in it never ordering again.

Love this place - delicious food & drinks, ornate interior like palace … falafels are THE BEST!

The service was great and there is a very family friendly atmosphere.

Staff was friendly and food was delicious.

The food was absolutely delicious and the customer service was amazing as well.

Great food. Thoroughly recommend.

So loudly place not only this, when they bring the bill, they said only cash 😡

Highly recommend, meatballs are fantastic!

My first day at Cardiff I came across Shaam Nights and I’m glad I did. The front of house staff was a great Egyptian guy sadly forgot to ask his name. In terms of the food it was an absolute delight tasted exactly or dare to say better than back home 😋. I’ve got the Batata Harra (appetizer) which was the testiest for me along with Hummus and Chicken Kufta which was also light and delightful but will definitely get you full and happy.

Delicous love the shawarma meal.

Great food, beautiful interior. I recommend the halabi kebab and mosaka.

Unreal food, lovely service great atmosphere 10/10

Lovely restaurant with friendly staff and great food. Also big portions!

Tuvimos una gran comida en Shaam Nights! La comida era súper fresca y llena de sabor, excelente ambiente y personal amable. ¡Sin duda volviendo! 🌟🌟

We had the shared meal mixed grill for 2 for £31. It comes with salad & rice (not chips, bread or chicken wings), & it was very nice indeed. The staff were very friendly and I would 100% recommend it to people. It was my second time there. The plates could have been heated up beforehand though but that's all.

Very spacious and comfortable space, the hot soup is delicious, the barbecue lamb and chicken are very delicious, and the sesame cakes are also our favorite. A cup of Herb Tea is worth the extra time to savor.

delicious, frequency, pleasant staff

The food arrived all over the bag because it wasn’t closed properly. The chicken was very hard and the rest was missing flavour.

Los kebabs a la parrilla de carbón estaban deliciosos y muy bien preparados. Me gustó la auténtica cocina siria en este restaurante junto con un excelente servicio.

Great food as always from Shaam Nights - we enjoyed the mixed mezze and the grill platter for 2. The falafel were particularly delicious this evening!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sham Nights, a charming Syrian restaurant that truly exceeded my expectations. My family and I visited the restaurant a week ago to celebrate our anniversary, and we were immediately impressed by the warm and welcoming ambiance. The interior design was beautiful, with cozy lighting and stylish decor that made for a very comfortable and inviting atmosphere. We didn't have to wait outside in the cold thanks to the thoughtful waiting area, which was a nice touch. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. We started with a mixed mezze platter, which was full of flavorful and fresh items that perfectly set the tone for the rest of the meal. For the main course, we enjoyed a mixed platter with lamb chops, bulgur rice, and flavorful rice. Each dish was prepared to perfection, with tender lamb and beautifully spiced sides that complemented each other wonderfully. The bold yet balanced flavors truly showcased the restaurant's expertise in Syrian cuisine. The service was also excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and ensured that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. We had a fantastic time with our family, and it made our anniversary celebration all the more memorable. Sham Nights truly offers a great combination of great food, a lovely ambiance, and impeccable service. As a Syrian restaurant, it brings the authentic flavors of Syria to the table, and we will definitely be returning soon!

Absolutely stellar food from the head chef and the most caring attentive service from our server Umar. If you're looking for the best Syrian food in the south west stop you've found it truly authentic, tasty and bought back my memories of roaming the streets of Damascus. The falafel and homemade chili sauce is to die for and the cheer and merriment of the servers will make you feel as if you are dining in your own home. I look forward to my next visit to this establishment, to see Umar and all the folks at shaam nights and to eat some more delicious food. - Ahad from Bristol

This is hands down the best food I've ever had in Cardiff! The waiter Omar was great, offered brilliant food suggestions for dinner. The Kabsa, the Batta Harra, Falafel and grilled dishes were all 10/10. If you don't come here for dinner or lunch, I don't know what you're doing.

Very tasty, friendly, interesting place. Loved it!

My first time trying Syrian food. The restaurant was beautifully decorated. The atmosphere was amazing. We got offered a lunch deal of £14 per person (with chicken but you can upgrade it to lamb for £3 extra) with a starter, main and drink. We got fatoush, lamb Mlokhya, and Kubba Labaniya. It was amazing, tasted so delicious. I had a bit of cold so it helped me feel better with my sore throat even! The service person was so nice, I spilled some food on the table, he gracefully came and cleaned it up for me. We got offered free tea on the house at the end of our meal! Which was a nice surprise. Overall everything was a 10/10. I don’t live in Cardiff but if I did, I would visit frequently:)

Everything was amazing!! Food, service, hospitality! Will come again!!!

Nice place, delicious food and good service

Very pricy find was good though

Amazing a must visit when in Cardiff

Delicious food and friendly personal

Amazing service. Generous portions. Great service. Fresh ingredients. This restaurant truly has it all and it surely the best of the best. Anyone travelling to Cardiff MUST visit.

Comida increíble, personal increíble, ambiente increíble! Me encantó vendrá en cada oportunidad que pueda! la comida era auténtica y original, así como las bebidas con muchas opciones. lo recomendaría a cualquiera!

Very fresh, nice food in generous portions. Nice staff and atmosphere

Fantastic food, lovely environment and very attentive staff. 1st time in Cardiff, heard lots about Shaam Nights and they didn't disappoint. 5 Stars

The best Syrien food I’ve ever eaten it’s full of taste and you can taste the fresh ingredients.The smoothies itself are the most tropical drinks ever.The staff are helpful und the kindest I’ve ever met.The prices are great and the bathrooms are the cleanest I’ve ever seen in a restaurant.Definitely worth it and the best restaurant I’ve been to in this year

amazing food, amazing staff, amazing atmosphere ! loved it will come at every chance i get

Absolutely incredible! The flavors are authentic, the dishes are beautifully presented, and the hospitality is unmatched. A true taste of Syria. Highly recommend!

Shaam Nights is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel at home. The menu is packed with flavorful dishes that truly capture the essence of Middle Eastern cuisine. The staff were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. Whether you're dining in or taking away, Shaam Nights delivers excellence every time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic, delicious food. Five stars, hands down!

Amazing atmosphere, owner was friendly and food was really nice. Overall the experience was welcoming and warm. I would recommend to visit.

We ordered the lamb meatballs as a starter, then the special lamb kabsah and jawaneh (chicken wings with rice) which was all quite tasty. Food arrived warm, however it was not heated thoroughly enough as it went cold very quickly. The restaurant being very cold did not help the situation either. The katayef dessert also lacked flavour/syrup. We ordered the shaam special mocktail smoothie which was delicious, we even ordered a second one to-go. Their baby high chairs were very very grimey and dirty. We bring our own antibacterial wipes wherever we go, however we felt that even after wiping them down, their high chairs were beyond help and we had to use the pushchair. If management read this, please mend your high chairs and ensure that they are safe to use. Also please clean them once a week as it is clear that they have not been cleaned in a very long time. The reason we would not revisit your restaurant is based on the lack of care for highchair safety and cleanliness.

Ambiente increíble, el propietario era amable y la comida era muy agradable. En general, la experiencia fue acogedora y cálida. Yo recomendaría visitar.

Best shawarma I ever tried and service is amazing, thank you

Food wasn’t worth the price, we actually went there because of the rating they have but the food wasn’t that good. Staff were really friendly and polite. They deserves a 5 star.

The restaurant is AMAZING the food is outstanding and the service is incredible, if you come from arab background you will tear up. I recommend highly

Good food and friendly staff. Surprised my mum with a birthday song and treat after finding out it was her birthday, excellent service!

Great food, mixed shish grill is delicious, portions are perfect, service was very quick and restaurant is decorated beautifully

Unreal food!!! Meat, bread, chips and rice all so fresh. Chilli sauce is 10000/10

Lovely authentic restaurant. Amazing food and the service is exceptional

Great place - good food and very welcoming!

Delicious authentic middle-eastern food 👌

Delicious food, came on time. I had the Lamb Urzy The pastry was soft and rice well cooked. The staff are friendly and atmosphere very pleasant

Fantastic service and lovely atmosphere! The food was delicious and the servers were so polite! Definitely coming back soon :)

Lovely food, amazing service and beautiful ambience. A must-visit.

Over an hour to wait for our food when it came it was stone cold, the chicken was very very hard. The garlic sauce was solid. It seems that the food had been waiting under a hot lamp to be collected and delivered. Terrible.

Delicious meal, freshly grilled meat, fresh salads, authentic atmosphere! Highly recommend!

Colleague and I are visiting Cardiff and were looking for some interesting vegetarian food. Found this place on tripadvisor. The place was pretty much empty, which is unsurprising on a monday night, but the food was really good. We were completely stuffed. Staff were attentive, friendly and polite and the decor is a maximalist wonder. If I ever get back to Cardiff, I'll definitely be back

Great food, great service, great decor! Would highly recommend.

Great food and super friendly. Will definitely recommend

Lovely food, nice restaurant, good service

First time at Shaam Nights and it did not disappoint. We had the tabbouleh and lamb meatballs to start. The meatballs in sauce were so tasty, the tabbouleh stacked with loads of fresh parsley. We opted for the platter for 2 as a main course with biryani. The plate was stacked with didn't varieties of chicken and lamb. Each was delicious, food was served hot and we didn't have to wait long. We couldn't finish the main course but the staff were happy to box it up for us. We weren't hurried along so stayed for a mint tea with mini pancake, fresh cream and pistachio and honey. Omg, so delicious!! We ate about 6:30pm and it wasn't busy but very telling that loads of takeaways were also flying out the door. The decor and atmosphere is v authentic and the staff were absolutely lovely. Will definitely return

A great Middle Eastern restaurant in Cardiff. Have been coming here for 7 years and never disappoints.

Fantastic meal had, service was excellent. Can’t wait to come back
