Sham assel

Sham Assel is a welcoming, family-run Syrian restaurant on Saripolou Street in Limassol’s center. Guests highlight the warm, genuine hospitality from the Syrian owners and their family, a cozy space decorated with authentic touches from Syria, and food that tastes homemade and fresh. Expect flavorful grills and kebabs alongside mezze favorites like hummus, falafel, halloumi, garlic yoghurt and fries, plus simple bites such as garlic bread with cheese.

Portions are generous and prices praised for excellent value, with reviewers noting complimentary appetizers and a sweet finish on the house. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious—more comfort-food than gourmet—making it a great pick for a casual meal or a friendly gathering. Open 10:00–22:00 most days (closed Tuesday).
