Accidentally stumbled into this place when I was craving curry. Such a delight! Hidden gem! Nearly walked past it, thinking it was just a house but once you walk inside it is so intricately decorated. Very pretty. The food was so good with fresh naan and tasty sauce. I thought the portion looked small but it was actually very filling! Perfect serving! I tried a few drinks and they were refreshing and strong.
My favorite Mediterranean Syrian restaurant in the city.
The food is insanely delicious the sweets drinks and the staff is just outstanding
Try the falafel it’s insanely amazing
You would fall in love from the decorations inside, representing Damascus, the oldest inhabited city in the world it’s a magical place🤍🪽
This place is soooo awesome! A real gem!
The food is delicious, it was wonderful to savor. The staff is very friendly and the place has such a nice deco and setting.
Exotically decorated townhouse ground floor with Moroccan wall hangings, cushions, cozy booths with low banquettes. Great visual style that the supposedly Mideastern food doesn't keep up with. Hummus had no garlic or lemon bite. We tried a good salmon curry, a large filet with a curried cream sauce. (curry, really?) The Salmon couscous (hoping for a tagine) was another fish filet with some plain couscous and steamed veggies on the side. The Lamb Kofte was a ground lamb patty with some rice and a few plain steamed veggies, but none of the dishes had the pizzazz or ethnic spice we were hoping for. No condiments to add either. So it has great ambience for a party but just so-so continental cuisine. Still, Salam is well priced for NYC, attractive and serves relatively large portions. Could not give it a 5 but a 4 will do for the right customer.
This is a seriously cute and delicious restaurant. Had the Maza for 2, 1 order of their lentil soup, and their homemade pomegranate ice tea - all of which was definitely enough food and had great variety. Sat in a beautiful area that transported me out of NYC. It really does feel like you are in someone's cozy apartment-turned-restaurant and someone is cooking in their home kitchen.. Waitress checked in a few times, but wasn't very warm. I think the food and ambience of this place still make it deserve 5 stars! Can't wait to bring a friend here.
