Al Aqsa is a gem in downtown Salem, offering some of the best Mediterranean food in the area. The prices are reasonable for the generous portions served, with absurdly authentic flavors and great value. The staff are kind, thoughtful, and engaged with customers, creating a warm and family-friendly environment. The gyro and lamb shawarma with rice are standout dishes that shouldn't be missed, along with the fresh baklava. Vegetarian options are available, and they can accommodate gluten and dairy-free diets without compromising on taste. The food is exotic, hand-made, and filling, with big portions perfect for saving leftovers. The food is delicious, super flavorful, and authentic. For vegetarians, there is falafel and hummus. Customers have ordered the chicken shawarma plate, the lamb hummus plate, and the Tabbouleh salad. The food arrived in a timely fashion and was out quickly. The rice is unbeatable, and their dolmas is just so goooood. This authentic Palestinian family-owned restaurant is a must-visit for Mediterranean food lovers in Salem.
