The shawarma at Syrian house has the potential to be delicious, and I have once had shawarma from Syrian house which is the best I have ever had. There is a but, and that is that most of the time when I order shawarma it comes coated in oil (or fat perhaps?), I once received shawarma from here which was not like that and it tasted amazing. I am not sure if on the other occasions I was served chicken from the bottom of the cambro or if due to the heat insulation and travel time the fat within the chicken continued to cook, melted off and affected the food. All in all the meal is relatively healthy and EXTREMELY filling, I would recommend the shawarma on rice, with a side of nan (the nan is freshly made and perhaps the best nan I've ever had from a restaurant). The shawarma wrap is lacking, as they use a pre-cooked ready bought wrap, I have never understood why since they cook such delicious bread, although it heavily affects the quality shawarma wrap, often times the wrap would arrive covered in oil. The fries are lacking to say the least, extremely oily (almost see through due to the oil content) and very flaky on the outside and heavy oily on the inside. In conclusion, what this place does very well is authentic food, and the "fast food" aspect of this restaurant is not very good, you can get a relatively filling meal at a good price point (one meal could fill two probably but I'm greedy) and their sauce is amazing. At one point I didn't eat at home at all, and just ordered from this place for 2-3 months every day. It's good and well prepared but for some reason the quality is always affected when I ordered. Definitely try it out, you may get a different outcome, especially if you go in person. Edit: The management and hospitality given is top notch, so much as to even including extra nans when I asked at no extra charge at one point and phoning me when something was unavailable.

I visited this restaurant as a party of 9 on recommendation. The establishment, the service and the food were all impeccable and didn't disappoint. Our starters were hummus with Naan which was plentiful and delicious. We then ordered two platers, which consisted of very generous portions of chicken, beef and rice with shawarma meat. We had some mint tea to finish off the evening. There was too much food for us to consume so we asked if it could be packed into a 'doggy bag' to take home and they kindly obliged. The surroundings were clean, modern and the service from the staff was polite, friendly and extremely professional. The prices were also very competitive. There is no immediate parking, but you should be able to find a safe place, not too far away. I can't wait to return and it won't be a long wait. Highly recommended.

Came here with the family after visiting the Coventry Road Small Heath branch and both did not disappoint. We order the Platter for 5 and it is cooked fresh and served within roughly 15 minutes along with complimentary salad, and bread with humous and babaganoush. The meat is perfectly cooked, not dry and it's seasoned well. The rice is much better than most places and the portion size overall is really sufficient. Would definitely recommend either branch to go to. The service was really friendly and hospitable and we were given free tea at the end of our meal. Would definitely recommend!

Went to the syrian house on a Sunday evening. Very quiet with only 1 other table being accommodated. We were seated very quickly and had a lovely waiter who helped us order from the menu. Food was delicious! With the meat being so tender and juicy from the mandi. The shawarma was full of flavour and the fish was too. Very good portions with alot to choose from on the menu. Food came out pretty quick. The fresh orange juice was amazing. Felt good in the heat! Definitely reccomend going back. Great people great food and a quality time.

Small eatery around the corner from us; we ordered the Arabic shawarma, jawaneh(chicken wings) and falafel. The falafel and wings were tasty but the shawarma was underwhelming. However the rice that came along was flavourful. Will be back to try some other items before writing it off!

Exceptionally friendly staff and some amazing food. As a party of 5, we ordered the mixed mezze of starters and the Sharing Platter as a main, the food was exquisite, with one of our group exclaiming the value for money was incredible as we had spent roughly £11 per head for starters, mains & drinks, of which every mouthful was an absolute delight! Highly recommended.

My friend and I went there and it was waste of money. Basically It’s leftovers from yesterday, the rice was cold and the chicken was hard to chew. Hopefully there was hot chili because there was to taste at all, it looks like Syrian food but it has nothing to do with Syrian cuisine. The tables were dirty as well.

Sorry but I had to do this, Yesterday I had food from this restaurant with my friends order platers and many more stuff. But, unfortunately we all are struggling with food poisoning. I don’t know what’s went wrong, I guess the food wasn’t fresh that’s the reason. Please I request the manager to look after this. Kindly do use fresh food.

Horrible food and very expensive. I ordered lamb mandi, the rice and meat was not cooked properly. The restaurant only take cash which is a minus for the one who pays with card. You need to run for cash if the cash machine next to it was not working. Location wise full of druggies. At all cost please avoid this place.

I eat over there every week with my friends and this place beats every other middle eastern restaurant I’ve been to in here. I saw some comments regarding the area being unsafe but i have never yet to encounter any situation that made me uncomfortable. Their lamb mandi is my personal favorite.

Super friendly , great food, good sized potions and free mint tea at the end. For everything in the photos (plus drinks) it was only about £11 per person! What’s not to like! Worth noting that on the day we went they were open from shortly after 1 o’clock (it was a Saturday) so not sure the times on Google are correct.

Very tasty & good portion size. I ordered for the first time during lock down & I was really happy with the food. In particular the stuffed vine leaves were fantastic & Shakriya was delicious. It arrived in good time, still hot with a cheerful driver. The complimentary soup I was given was tasty & appreciated! I’ll definitely be ordering from Syrian House again!

First time here as recommend by friends but I absolutely loved it to perfection. Couldn't complain as food was delicious, fresh, tasty, full of flavours and we really enjoyed it. This was taken yesterday 9th June 2023 ;)

The food is excellent, proper Syrian food, rice nice and fluffy, meat really well cooked and flavourful. The prices as well are really reasonable and the quantity of food on the platters is more than enough. The sides (hummus, Baba ghanoush, and garlic) were excellent as well. Definitely will be coming back

This is my first time to try Syrian’s food. I have ordered Shish Taouk and kofta kebab lamb.It is really delicious and the staffs are very helpful to help me order the food so I’m highly recommend people to try it.

Food is good, felafels excellent, meat dishes tasty and good value for money. Great to have a middle Eastern place in Highgate, so exciting! We ate in once and service was too slow for a quick lunch break but that could have been a bad day.

The food was ok but definitely not worth £16.99 for a platter of 2!!!!! I can get a better platter for 2 for only £12 in small heath momo's and you get more than what these people offered. Sharwarma was made from chicken, salad juice was

The food tasted beautiful, the rice was so flavoursome and the freshness and taste of the hummus surprised me I will defiantly be ordering again thank you!

Staff are super friendly, food was tasty and didn't take long to prepare, I loved the Syrian decoration of the restaurant; it has taken me back in time. I'd highly recommend the Syrian House and would love to visit again!

Good value food with friendly staff. We got this place up for a late night meal and it was great trying out the mixed platter, a different twist to the Turkish variety. You must wash it all down with some Arabic tea.

I always get Syrian house for my take aways I can’t never get tired of their food. To recommend the Arabic shawarma and the grilled x2.
