Shaam Lebanese Restaurant - Stockport

TL;DR: good food, but staff tried to stop us removing service charge which is OPTIONAL.

The food was actually nice, which means it’s a shame to rate this place so low because the server claimed when we asked to remove a nearly £7 service charge they gave us extra bread without adding it to the bill, keeping in mind we ORDERED ONE. If they bring us more without us asking, you assume it’s part of the item. But apparently not, and that’s justification to add a huge service charge onto the bill we can’t remove? No thank you! We won’t be returning here again. It’s a shame because the food was actually nice, but I’m not being scammed out of my money over something we didn’t order.

One of our favourite restaurants. Food is always perfect, great for sharing and the kids will always find something they are happy with too. The staff are always polite and helpful. The restaurant decor is great and atmospheric and the place is always spotlessly clean.

I think we were the first customers of the evening , so got seated straight away, waiter was super friendly, nice decor and the food was spot on to . Would definitely come again. All the dishes were nice and tasty and the portion sizes were just right

Eaten here a few times and it just seems to even better. Seen a review saying this could be the best Middle Eastern restaurant in South Manchester and I wouldn’t disagree. The food is exemplary, staff are nice and depending when you go it varies from chilled / quieter in the week to busy at weekends. It’s BYO drinks so if you’ve arrived not realising you can nip round the corner to Sainsbury’s local which is a few metres away.

Food pics may not do it justice but it’s a classic meze choice of starters from humous dips, breads, baba ghanoush etc, mains are a great selection and desserts are classic Middle Eastern home cooked, the baklava is highly recommended.

Thank you for the incredible food and excellent service at Shaam. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. I couldn’t help but notice the same care and attention given to the dishes on other tables as well, all accompanied by a wonderful aroma. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to make my birthday special by bringing out a slice of cake with a candle, creating a lovely atmosphere. My only suggestion would be to offer a variety of music, and we did notice a few bothersome flies from time to time.

Went around 6 pm it was quiet, attentive staff, cozy atmosphere, and delicious food. Would recommend the lamb chops, shaam fattah, and hummus. Fattoush salad and kibbeh were amazing as well. Service was fast and got complementary dessert. Thank you Salloum for your warm hospitality and making our experience special.
A bit pricey compared to other lebanese restaurants but worth it
Will definitely come again

Good food, starters amazing just chicken kebab was no up to my taste. Lucking spicy flavours. On the plus side they do not serve alkohol but you can bring your own
