About شيف الشام
Looking for a Syrian or Lebanese restaurant in Cairo? شيف الشام is one of the options in this directory, registered at 444 معهد الفنون التطبيقية، قسم أول 6 أكتوبر, محافظة القاهرة 3232645; below are its hours, contact details and reviews.
Eating out in Egypt runs late: dinner often starts after 20:00, and many restaurants and cafés stay open until midnight and beyond, especially on Thursday nights and in summer. Delivery is everywhere, either by calling the restaurant or through apps such as Talabat and elmenus, sometimes with different prices and offers on each. Many restaurants add a 12 % service charge and 14 % VAT to the bill, so ask for the final price; tipping is customary but optional. During Ramadan the timings shift, with the main rush at iftar and service running on towards suhoor. Syrian and Lebanese restaurants are known for hot and cold mezze, shawarma, grills and fresh bread; they have spread across Egypt in recent years, and dishes are usually ordered to share.
The business lists hours for all seven days of the week. On most of those days it is open 24 hours. Expect different timings in Ramadan and on public holidays, and a short closure at Friday prayer time in smaller shops. The listed phone number is 011 1003 9840. From abroad dial +20 and then the number without its leading zero (five-digit hotlines work only from within Egypt); calling ahead is the norm for bookings and to confirm timings.
Its Google rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 4,041 reviews, a solid but mixed picture; reading the most recent reviews will tell you what to expect before you commit to a visit.

Most of the food there is good and delicious, only grilled food I am not recommending at all, grilled food is precooked long time before ordering then once you place your order they are reheating the food which make the food untasty and very dry, other food dishes like shawarma, fried chicken, pizza & pasta are very good to be honest

It’s wasn’t as I expected, yet it was normal, the shawarma tasted normal, more like grilled meat and chicken.

It’s ok , the place is comfortable to dine in but the food wasn’t wow or delicious, but not bad it’s ok to eat. May be I will try something from the menu next time, as I tried “Chicken” “Shawaya”. The price if we compare with “Atiab Sham” as the restaurant near them. Atiab Sham is cheaper than this one and I think the same order is more good at “Atiab Sham”

Wonderful! The interiors are clean, service is not very quick but not very slow, food is very tasty & hot , portions are generous which means they're adequate to make you full, a variety of dishes are offered and prices are affordable as they're the same of most Syrian restaurants. The habitants of the 6th of October city are lucky to have this restaurant as it can be considered as a highly recommended place when it comes to having a delicious meal.
