About Aleppian

Handmade Syrian fare cooked with the kind of personal care you rarely find outside a family home. At this North Lakes spot, the owner butchers the meats himself—yielding tender lamb shish and beef that diners notice immediately. Pair a platter of scratch-made dips with crisp fattoush, then wash it down with a glass of house-made tamarind lemonade. Mains arrive flanked by pickles, garlic, and fresh hummus.

  • In-House Butchery: The owner handles whole cuts in-house, turning out exceptionally tender lamb shish and beef skewers.
  • Scratch Dips & Tamarind Lemonade: Platters feature made-from-scratch dips and refreshing, tangy tamarind lemonade mixed on site.
  • Family-Run Hospitality: An owner-operated dining room defined by personal, attentive service straight from the family.

  • In-House Whole Cut Butchery

    The owner handles butchery in-house rather than relying on standard wholesale portions, resulting in remarkably tender grilled meats.

  • House-Made Refreshments and Scratch Accompaniments

    Meals are paired with crafted beverages and scratch-made spreads, including unique tamarind drinks and balanced dip platters.

    The house made tamarind lemonade is definitely one to try (very refreshing and zingy) and the meats (I got the lamb shish) were NOTICEABLY soft, tender and well cooked.

    Sam's service was excellent and friendly, and we enjoyed chatting with him over dinner as well.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful artisanal culinary touches and personal Syrian hospitality that elevate your visit.

    Owner Sam cuts and prepares meats by hand on site, ensuring skewers like the lamb shish and beef are noticeably tender.

  • Traditional Pickles & Dip Accompaniments

    Mains arrive served with a complimentary traditional side plate featuring house pickles, garlic sauce, and hummus.

  • House-Made Tamarind Lemonade

    Guests can order distinctive artisanal refreshments prepared from scratch, such as their refreshing, zingy tamarind lemonade.

  • Direct Owner Hospitality & Flexibility

    The owner takes time to chat with diners at their tables and accommodates late arrivals right at afternoon closing.

Before you head over

Practical recommendations on timing, ordering, and expectations for your visit to Aleppian.

  • Allow Ample Time for Cook-to-Order Dishes

    Because dishes like the skewers and grilled cutlets are painstakingly handmade to order rather than pre-cooked, preparation can take extra time during dining. Plan for an unhurried sit-down meal.

  • Order Extra Bread with Dips

    The scratch-made dip platter is richly portioned with multiple dips, but diners note the provided bread runs out quickly; ask for extra bread upfront so you don't have to borrow from your mains.

  • Confirm Afternoon Lunch Arrival Timing

    If you are dropping in right around the 2:00 PM lunch cutoff, check in directly with the owners, who are accommodating and may gladly seat you to order lunch before the break.
