Welcome to Bawabet Al Sham, located at 2018 Cottman Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19149. Our name, meaning "The Gateway to the Levant," reflects our mission: to open the doors to a rich heritage of authentic Mediterranean flavors and timeless culinary traditions.

From a young age, my love for home cooking sparked a passion that has guided me to this very moment. Today, Bawabet Al Sham is the realization of that dream—a place where I can share the tastes and aromas that shaped my childhood and celebrate the depth of Levantine cuisine.

Our restaurant is more than just a dining destination; it’s a warm, welcoming space where we share our culture, our stories, and our food with each and every guest. Every dish on our menu is crafted with care, blending tradition with a personal touch to create an unforgettable experience.

At Bawabet Al Sham, we believe food should bring people together. That’s why we’ve designed a menu that caters to all—whether you're a meat lover, seafood fan, vegetarian, or vegan. Our dishes are infused with bold Mediterranean spices and flavors that honor the authenticity of the region while appealing to a modern palate.

Join us at Bawabet Al Sham and let your taste buds travel through a journey of tradition, flavor, and hospitality. It’s more than just a meal—it’s a celebration of the Levant, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
