al salaam deli

fantastic gyro. brought me back to my days as a kid. i would return. possibly i would get it to go and go and enjoy a park somewhere since seat is very limited.

voted the best middle eastern restaurant in savannah (and the only one to our knowledge), al salaam deli is a unique and delicious food experience in the starland district. a small eatery, it nevertheless boasts a huge menu, offering everything from typical arabic dishes such as baba ganoughe to even classic american cuisine like hamburgers and chicken nuggets.

best gyros (pronounced heros) in town! this is a take out restaurant, however if you stop in at the right time, you might get space at one of the few tables inside. food is authentic middle eastern offering. however i ordered two burgers for non-adventurous kids, the meat was delicious, tender and cooked perfectly. gyros can be ordered in regular and spicy, with a good balance of beef, lettuce, onions and tomatoes. will definitely be coming back with friends!

al salaam deli is a taste of the middle east, wrapped in a tiny package on habersham and 40th. al salaam has been serving customers for over 15 years, and by now the owners, husband and wife duo meqbel and rose salameh, have the routine down pat. when walking in, there is a laminated menu to your left with a small counter nearby. decide what you’d like and order at the counter. grab a drink from the cooler and take a seat; your food will be brought out to you. if you’re eating in, don’t worry about paying until the end of your meal. note the award for best middle eastern cuisine..i have to agre

stopped in because i had a craving for a gyro. this place is a great little hole in the wall with great food. my gyro melted in my mouth. the dining area is small so i got to have some good conversation with other diners too. will be back for sure.

i am new to middle eastern food but i have ordered the chicken curry twice and i crave it now. owner was very friendly and didn't rush my decision process. additionally, i have never liked commercially made hummus but i couldn't get enough from this place on the freshly grilled pita wedges that come with the platter. it is great to venture out of the ordinary at this unassuming place. they also serve amazing gyros for the less adventurous.

excellent fallafel, disappointing salads. admittedly this was my first time eating at al salaam and i must say the experience was so-so. the purveyor is a very friendly chap and he makes delicious fallafel, but all-in-all the fallafel salad i ordered was very underwhelming. here's why...

the lettuce (iceberg) looked like it came from a bag and the tomatoes were completely tasteless. to my disappointment, there was a solitary olive in my salad, which for $8.99 should have been twice the size and contained maybe 12 times the amount of olives. also, i'm pretty sure the dressing (ranch, gross) came from a bottle.

while some of the food here seems tasty and well-made, it's very overpriced. a side of hummus, for example, costs $ 8.99 with pita. really dude? $8.99? maybe i'm too used to good middle eastern food, as i recently lived in a part of the states with 4 solid restaurants within a five block radius of each other, but al-salaam can definitely do better.

awesome. i eat here at least once a month and have tried pretty much the entire menu. i can honestly say it's some of the best food in savannah. the food is great every time. would eat it every day if i could...

this place is awesome! the owner was very friendly and he also was helpful. we had gyros, fries & falafel (spelling?) and it was sooooo good. our new fav lil place. i reccomend this place for sure! yum!!

great little hole in the wall on habersham. as others have pointed out, this small place has limited seating and is geared towards take out. i stop by every so often as the urge for a good gyro strikes, and the food has always been excellent.

i love their food but i do not like the sauce they provide. i was hoping for real tzatziki and they provide something with a ranch flavor. throws the taste off. but, as i said, the food is excellent and they staff is very friendly.

a taste of nirvanna. small quaint establishment, very comfy. we went with the kids and enjoyed a unique experience of dining not found where i come from. we shared food and enjoyed the company of others. the owner was a personable man, and treated us like family. a must when you are in this area. you will not walk away hungry. the hummus is awesome, and homemade.

had a lunch catered here for some customers. food was great and they went out of their way to take care of us. food was authentic and fresh. great option for a takeout business lunch!
