About

Shamali’s is a bit of a mixed bag for locals and travelers alike. While many rave about the generous portions and friendly service, others have had some real shockers with cold food and long wait times. It seems like a spot where consistency is the main issue, as some days it is spot on and others it is a total miss. When it is good, it is a great bang for the buck, but the service can be hit or miss.
