Easily one of the best Arabic restaurants we’ve tried in Marbella. The food was honestly so good we didn’t want the meal to end. We ordered their roast chicken along with both the meat and chicken shawarmas, and everything tasted amazing. The meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavour. You could really tell it was fresh and cooked with care. Nothing felt heavy or oily, just really balanced and satisfying.
The service was also lovely. Everyone was warm and welcoming, and the food came out really fast which was a nice surprise. The staff made us feel at home without being over the top. It’s a simple spot with a nice casual feel, and you can just relax and enjoy your food without any fuss.
What’s even better is that it’s fully halal, and they also have a halal butcher and grocery shop right next to the restaurant. It makes it super convenient if you want to grab something to cook at home after your meal. Honestly a proper hidden gem if you’re looking for great Arabic food in Marbella. We’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for flavour, comfort, and...
Read moreSham is an Arabic/Mediterranean restaurant located right in the center of Marbella, which makes it quite convenient to visit. The setting is nice, with seating that offers a good view of the main road, making it a pleasant spot to relax and watch the city buzz by.
We ordered the Shawarma and the Chicken Shish Tawuq. Both were good — flavorful and well-prepared. The French fries we had alongside were pretty average, nothing special but not bad either.
Overall, I would rate Sham a 3.5 out of 5. The location and ambiance are definite pluses, but the food and amenities could use a bit more attention. One thing I’d suggest is improving the restroom facilities, as they felt a bit lacking.
I’d recommend giving Sham a try, especially if you want to experience some Mediterranean flavors in a nice setting, but don’t expect anything...
Read moreMashaAllah the staff were very helpful. The food was really quite nice. We ordered kibbeh, mixed grill, fatoush and some dish with chicken doner. Even though the fatoush was not really like authentic Lebanese fatoush it was tasty salad with lots of lemon juice which I love. . The portion sizes were good. I was there with my 2 teenage boys and husband, so basically 3 men. Due to some mix up with our order we only had 3 dishes but they proved to be enough. Value for money, I think it was quite good. It came to approx 45€ but I'm not sure how that compares to other places nearby. The one down point for me was that unfortunately the toilet was dirty and worse, there was nothing to wash with which was quite surprising, ...
