  “⭐⭐⭐☆☆ 3/5 I used to love this restaurant and it was one of my favourite places to eat. The food is genuinely amazing, and the restaurant itself is beautiful and welcoming. However, I have had a very disappointing experience regarding privacy and respect for niqabi women. While some of the staff have always been respectful and professional, there was one male staff member whose behaviour made me feel extremely uncomfortable. We were seated in a private room, yet he repeatedly entered and positioned himself in a way that appeared to be an attempt to see my face despite knowing that I wear a niqab. This made me feel upset and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, this is not the first time I have experienced this issue at this restaurant. My husband confronted him about his behaviour, but no apology was given. What could have been resolved with a sincere apology instead left me feeling disrespected and unwelcome. It is a real shame because I genuinely love the food and have recommended this restaurant in the past. However, due to this experience, I will not be returning, and neither will my family. I hope management takes concerns about customer privacy and religious observance seriously so that other sisters do not have a similar experience.”

  “Such a beautiful hotspot for Syrian food. Visited this place with family and it was such a lovely experience. We had our own private room which was perfect. The family ladies were so more comfortable. We purchased the platter for 3 with drinks. Despite our best efforts, we couldn't finish it. There was just so much in the platter. Such a great variety. Lamb, chicken, rice, lamb shank, fries and many more. The people are so nice and welcoming. They had a lovely fountain inside giving it the middle eastern vibe. Would highly recommend.”

  “We ordered via Uber Eats for the family. The food was really delicious, with the rice cooked perfect. I took the option of having the lamb cubes (forgot what it was called) myself with rice. The fries were cooked good too. My partner ordered the Sea Bass, which I also took a nibble on, and found it was cooked perfect aswell. Overall good review and well recommended, however I did take a star off for the portion size we got, it lacked lamb cubes and was mainly rice.”

  “I recently visited Syrian House on Coventry Road and had a mixed experience. Starting with the positives, the food was excellent. The flavors were authentic and everything we ordered was delicious—the charcoal grill and shawarma are definitely highlights here. However, the only area that needs attention is the cleanliness of the facility. While the service and food are great, the overall environment and upkeep of the premises could be improved to match the high quality of the kitchen. With a bit more focus on the cleanliness and condition of the seating area, this would easily be a 5-star spot. Definitely worth a visit for the food, but hoping to see some improvements in the facilities next time.”

  “First time coming here from Coventry we were looking for somewhere to eat for Iftar, managed to get a table and it got very busy after which is always a good sign. The decor inside the restaurant feels very authentic and the food was excellent. It is also very good value for money and can easily feed a whole family here for a reasonable price if you get the platters. There is also private areas for families to eat in comfort.”

  “Friendly people very kind and welcoming and clean inside. Very beautiful decorations and although we had take out and went in store to order they gave chocolate konafa for free and offered their in-house house tea. It was very cold and raining so the nice service made everything much better. We ordered the platter for 2 which was very good portion wise and delicious. Came as a recommendation from a friend and I recommend you all try.”

  “Visited Syrian House on Coventry Road recently with a group and honestly had a great experience from start to finish. We ordered the platter for six, plus shawarma and some fresh juices, and everything came out spot on. The platter for six was more than enough for all of us and had a really good variety. The meats were cooked well, full of flavour, and not dry at all. You could tell everything was fresh and prepared properly. The sides and dips went perfectly with the platter and added a lot to the meal without feeling heavy. Nothing felt rushed or thrown together, which makes a big difference. The shawarma was another highlight. Really tasty, well seasoned, and nicely wrapped. It wasn’t greasy and had a good balance of meat, sauce, and bread. Definitely one of the better shawarmas I’ve had locally. The fresh juices were refreshing and actually tasted fresh, not overly sweet or watered down. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was smooth even though we were a big group. Food came out in good time and everything was explained clearly. Overall, great food, good portions, and a nice atmosphere. I’d definitely come back and would recommend it if you’re in the area.”
