I’ve been looking for places with Sfeeha for so long, I’ve tried the spinach and cheese and it was exactly like the ones back home. Thank you for such a yummy and fresh food, can’t wait to try the platters as well.

Outstanding Mediterranean Dining Experience in Connecticut We recently had the pleasure of visiting this exceptional Mediterranean restaurant, traveling all the way from UConn Storrs in search of a new dine-in experience. It exceeded all our expectations. The staff was incredibly welcoming and genuinely friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and authentically prepared. This spot comes highly recommended, particularly for those seeking top-quality Kabsa and Shawarma. A must-visit for Mediterranean cuisine enthusiasts.

I came here with a group of 5 people and it's been almost 40 minutes till I get my food which is expected because there were only 2 people working in the entire restaurant. I went crazy on them because I was HANGRY. But the guy was polite to me despite me behaving crazy. Finally the food came to my table and the Group Shawarma platter was so GREAT! IT WAS DELICIOUS! 2nd place goes to the Khapsa. All along the food was great, the cleanliness and the staff shortage was however understandable because of holiday nights. Before the end when we did the billing. The guy that I yelled at was so generous to me that he did not charge me for the drink I refused because I didn't like it. And also he gave me a whole bar of Dubai Chocolate free of cost just to make me feel happy.

Some of the best grilled meat I've had! I pulled up to this place spontaneously and it didn't disappoint. The staff was very friendly and the food was out of this world. Everything tasted fresh and the meat was cooked and seasoned to perfection. I will definitely become a regular!

If you’re hankering for something more exotic than a cheeseburger, and a menu as extensive as its food is flavorful, then it could be Syriana. On our way through Connecticut my wife and I stopped in for some authentic Syrian fare and Syriana did not disappoint. We each started with a cup of the lentil soup—a pale but hearty puree whose warmth was buoyed by a flavorful undercurrent of curry (an undercurryent?). It really hit the spot on a chilly March day. We knew we were in for a treat because you can always judge the main course by the soup. I had the Syriana Platter: softly pliant grape leaves surrounding a mildly spicy whole grain melange; vibrantly green tabbouleh with an equally vibrant and fresh parsley zest; understated hummus whose alluring texture was an extra blender half minute away from that of cream cheese; and a salad mix of tomato chunks, cucumber slices, red cabbage shreadings, carrot scrapings, and noodles (the only thing I left on my plate because they were a little stale and, I believe, fried), drizzled with a tangy sweet sauce. Our waiter brought us a generous serving of thick lemon slices (I think it must have once been an entire lemon), and I went through each one of them, spritzing the hummus, the tabbouleh, and my green tea (I’m a big fan of citrus). Needless to say, the entire dish was delicious and filling. My wife enjoyed her chicken & lamb shawarma platter over rice—she had to box up a good portion of it (it emanated succulent fumes on the drive back to the hotel). Her dish was 14 and mine was 15. Great price, great food, & great service—the triumvirate of quality in the restaurant empire. I would enjoy another journey to Syriana.

I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Platter from Syriana Cuisine, and it was delicious! The food was fresh, flavorful, and the portion size was generous. The place was clean, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The only small suggestion I have is to add a bit more seasoning to enhance the flavors even more. Overall, a great experienc, definitely worth trying!

Authentic syrian cuisine. I have tried lots of Mediterranean restaurants and this will be in the top 5. Foods are really fresh, juicy, and tastes good. Try turkish coffee at the end if you are a coffee person.
