Syrian in Phoenix

Shamy Market & Bakery is a family-owned Mediterranean restaurant and market in Mesa’s Fiesta District. Inside the small specialty grocery store occupying a suite at the Fiesta Commons Shopping Center, the eatery offers Syrian-style breads created daily in Shamy’s specialty oven. Other menu items include Middle Eastern offerings like manakeesh with za’atar, fattoush, and foul, as well as salads, pizza, and starters. The market and restaurant combo is operated by the Alimam family who moved from Damascus to metro Phoenix in 2011. Shamy Market & Bakery is the family’s first endeavor in professional food.
