“As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the friendly staff and seated right away. A great start to an even better meal! My fiancèe and I ordered the Honeymoon latte (vanilla latte sweetened with honey) and a Dirty Chai to start, both were super delicious, beautiful and handcrafted to perfection. For our meals my fiancèe ordered the Beefee Benedict which is served with Kufta (think Mediterranean "meatloaf" with robust herbs and spices) and a house blend cheese on top of English muffins and a made from scratch Hollandaise sauce. And I had ordered the Shakshuka "Special" which is on the regular menu, that's just how they named this dish and that comes with grilled onions and peppers, Kufta, two sunny side eggs in a rich and perfectly acidic tomato puree and houseblend cheese with a house made Bread dome on top of the whole dish. Delicious is an understatement, the food, the drinks the atmosphere, I mean everything fit so prefect. They have a little taste of different cultures and offer healthy alternatives and everything is made in house and I could not say anything bad about this place. 10 out of 10 recommend and we will definitely be coming back to try other amazing dishes.“

“I have always been satisfied with the food and service at Mal Al Sham. However, I believe they need to improve their seating system. They should either have a designated person to handle seating guests or implement a system that uses names and arrival times. When my family and I arrived, the lady at the entrance informed us that we would be seated next in 5 to 10 minutes when a table became available. Unfortunately, a few minutes later, another family arrived and the person near the door ignored his colleague and seated them before us, even though we had arrived first. This goes against the principle of first come, first served. and in this case, favoring customers over others is how I see it.Apart from this issue, the food is excellent and I consider it to be one of the best Arabic restaurants in San Diego. I always recommend this place to others.Vegetarian options: Falafel is our favorite vegetarian optionParking: Very limited“

“"Ok, Google, find a Mediterranean restaurant near me that's open for lunch." I was not led astray when I was directed to Alfinjan. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and initially asked for rice instead of fries, but was told I should try the fries because they "cook them differently...you know, to stand out." And stand out they do...crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I don't know what the secret is, but trust these fries. But really, who even cares about sides when the shawarma is so perfectly cooked. Moist, juicy, with that slight crispness... It shared space with lettuce pickles and the most delicious creamy garlic sauce... With I think just a hint of tahini. You know how sometimes tahini can be too sesame forward or salty? This was not, it was truly heavenly. I wish I had snapped a photo, but I was too busy enjoying the food. Highly recommended for both food and friendly, helpful service. I will be back soon.“

“Really fulfilling food ranging from delicious and fruitful salads, to wraps, and gyros. The portions are shareable and the service was great. There was one person working the entire store, so it did take a little bit of time for the food to come out, but no problem there. The man was super helpful with suggestions. We chose the 2 protein plate, a gyro, and the strawberry salad. Everything was really hefty and not skimpy, and full of so much flavor. Will definitely be coming back.Vegetarian options: SaladsParking: Lots of parkingWheelchair accessibility: No stairs“

“The gentleman that served my meal was very kind. He even showed care in details that I’m not used to being asked: “1 or 2 cups of ketchup?” “Would you like ice in your drink?” I don’t know of any other place that takes the time to show they care and ask the details. He was very kind and respectful and the food was good!“
