Syrian flavours
The menu delivers authentic Syrian and Lebanese flavours, including bold dishes such as fawareg and lamb neck with ouzy rice.
Butcher service
You can order raw meat by phone and have it cut, arranged and delivered according to your request.
Bone marrow
Beef bone marrow is a standout across the reviews, served grilled, with steak, or in an especially memorable sandwich.
Fresh sides
The mix appetizer platter, hummus, muhammara and salads are praised as fresh, making useful lighter accompaniments to the meat.

Tips for a Better Visit
Check prices. Ask the waiter to confirm the price of any item not printed on the menu before ordering, especially skewers.
Try marrow. Put the beef bone marrow high on your order; reviewers praise it grilled and as a sandwich filling.
Order takeaway. For home cooking or a barbecue, phone the butcher and specify how you want the meat cut and arranged.
Choose cuts carefully. If you want juicy kebab, clarify the fat content and cooking preference: one diner found the kufta lean, tough and overcooked.
Check boards. Before settling in, check that serving boards and tableware look clean; one diner reported chipped boards with a strong smell.
Explore specials. The menu goes beyond standard grills, with reviewers enjoying lamb brain, lamb testicles, fawareg and raw meat platters.

The Bottom Line
Sham Farms Grilled combines an in-house butcher shop with a Syrian restaurant in Umm Suqeim. You can sit down for grilled meat and eastern dishes, or phone in raw meat for delivery, with the cut and arrangement tailored to your request. It suits diners who want more than a standard kebab meal.
The strongest theme is meat: reviewers praise the beef bone marrow, steaks, smoked ribs and tender lamb. The bone marrow appears grilled, paired with tenderloin, and made into a sandwich. For Syrian specialities, lamb neck with ouzy rice, fawareg and vine leaves are useful starting points.
Hummus, muhammara and salads provide fresher counterpoints to the heavier plates. Service is often described as friendly and efficient, and the setting as cozy, clean and relaxed. Still, experiences are not completely consistent.
Some diners reported hurried responses, delayed drinks and dishes that were tough or overcooked. One particularly serious review described chipped, discoloured wooden boards with a foul smell. Prices also deserve attention.
A pair of skewers was charged at 150 dhs without the price being explained beforehand, while another diner reported AED 700 for two steaks. Confirm off-menu prices and inspect serving ware before ordering.
