    The whole to go ensemble
    Geffrey Q.

    Stopped in for lunch as i was passing through, was not disappointed. Very welcoming and friendly service. Very accommodating to my wants. Placed an order of small falafel and power smoothie (very beet flavor) and the lunch 3 course which came with sandwich, soup and side of potato wedges. I got the shish kafta sandwich and moroccan harira soup. They brought a side of bread as well. Plenty of food. Everything was cooked well. Soup was absolutely delicious and is now my favorite soup. I would order all items again. I had items left over to take with me. I also placed an order to go. Meat Grape leaves, baklava (nicely wet not dried out) fried kibbie and a shish tawook and tabulee sandwich. Everything was very good and i look forward to coming back. I love the setting, makes you feel like you have journeyed to another land.

    This was my first time art this restaurant. We were welcomed right away. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our food was delicious and some of us had food left over. The restaurant was clean and comfy. Our food was seasoned well.

    We've been here many times before and will continue to come back. Every time I come here I'm surprised by how amazing the food is. You HAVE to try their lamb chops but if you don't that's fine because everything is good. In the past service has been good, nothing notably good or bad but this time the service was awesome. Staff was super friendly and polite and food came out very fast. The bread was clearly very fresh. The ambiance was nice, there was plenty of seating and parking. We can with a group of 4 for a late lunch and there was no wait.

    Great service and wonderful food! Ordered lamb chops, salad, pita bread and hummus, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Everything was delicious! Lamb chops were tasty! Generous portion size and came with rice. Salad was great as well. The lamb dish I got was a bit too salty for my liking but meat was tender and cooked perfectly. They have fresh pita breads and freshly squeezed juices that are amazing!!

    Shish combo

    Came here to enjoy a healthy lunch. The decor and aesthetic was on point. I appreciate the effort they put into every detail. I ordered a shish combo I asked for it to be cooked medium well and it was cooked very well. I wish the meat was more tender and offered more flavor. I would come back possibly but it would be for a chicken dish. Overall not a bad experience.

    Anytime I return to Ann Arbor, Palm Palace is one of my first go to spots! There is no Middle Eastern food like Michigan's in the US-- and Palm Palace's is one of my absolute favorites. Besides the fun ambience with a palace-like exterior, when you walk in, you are immediately greeted by a camel statue! I'm always impressed with their service and affordable pricing, especially for the portions that you get. I love that they now offer robot servers, which my kids found super exciting, of course! My favorite dishes are the tabbouleh, fattoush, chicken tawook wrap, and hummus -- served with the fresh, warm pita bread. I also always order their lemonade and mint lemonade because they're freshly pressed and the iced mixture ratio is perfection! I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Michigan just so I can return to Palm Palace again!

    The ambiance is great, a large restaurant with lots of seating. Service was quick. The pita and garlic sauce were excellent. The vegetarian grape leaves and spinach pie were lacking some seasoning and fell flat. The hummus and baba were solid

    One of our absolute favorite restaurants! We make it a point to come here every time we visit from San Diego! This time had Hoda as our server and she was so kind and warm, really treating us like family. The food is absolutely delicious, the vibe is warm and welcoming and the service incredible. Highly recommend!!

    5 stars on the food, 1 star on service. Food was truly amazing. The quantity is so good and easily shareable between 2 people. I ordered the chicken hummus shawarma platter and it came with a salad. I added a picture, and that's after I ate a quarter of it! Amazing portions. The taste is also super delicious, I will probably get this exact same meal again. Now service. Our waiter was friendly but passive aggressive? Some small comments that I thought were weird but my husband said I was overthinking it. At the end of the meal, my FIL paid. It was on those small machines they can take table to table. To be fair, he assumed the tip was included in a table of five and just paid the full amount. When he was done, our waiter said "just so you know, me serving you this meal just cost me at least $20. Now I have to go pay the busboys and etc from my paycheck." I thought that was super weird! My husband was already ready to pull out some cash but just hearing our waiter say that was super odd. He made a mistake. When he got the receipt he would've noticed and left a cash tip anyway. Pointing it out like that, especially when we were there to celebrate a birthday, was just super uncomfortable. My FIL ended up tipping 25-30% because he felt bad but the waiter just seemed annoyed at that point. Honestly an awful ending to our night and it started out so good. I would go back for the food but probably wouldn't eat in the restaurant itself again.

    In my opinion the best middle eastern food in the area. The pita bread is so good and fresh. Tasty rice bed to accompany the chicken and meat dishes.

    Shish Combo for Two
    Katie N.

    Delicious food, excellent service, and really nice ambiance. Hoda, our server, took amazing care of us and went above and beyond. We left so full and still had leftovers. The food was really well-balanced; filling, but fresh, so you feel good walking out. I can't say enough good things about the mint lemonade & power mix juices (I got some to-go). The shish combo for two was great for two people, and all the meats were exceptionally yummy. I enjoyed that each meat had its own flavor profile so that you could bounce around and try new combos. And the hummus was as good as advertised! Will be back for sure

    Claire and the server in training were super nice and respectful and double checked with the kitchen regarding allergens for me which I appreciate! The food is AMAZING and I always stop here when I'm in Michigan it is so tasty. They also have a super cute robot cat that helps pass out the dishes so the servers don't have to carry a million plates. THIS IS A MUST VISIT!

    Excellent lunch, it was a fun place to go with family for an authentic and tasty treat.

    I saw all the amazing reviews about Shawarma Shop and decided to give it a try ، and honestly, I'm…read morenot surprised! The place is connected to a gas station, but don't let that fool you ! the food is incredible! We ordered both beef and chicken shawarma. The portion sizes were broken g and great, and the flavor was absolutely juicy yummy and delicious. Although the garlic sauce was a bit heavy for me, but still tasty The fries are one of my favorite. They were perfectly crispy and you can tell they fry them really well. Prices are very reasonable, and even though the order took a little time, it was definitely worth the waite. The place is small, but it's a hidden gem that deserves a visit. I also liked that there's a mini pantry connected to it. a fun little bonus!

    I LOVE a good shawarma. It's one of my favorite sandwiches. So when I drove past a place called…read more"Shawarma Shop", I was really excited. I said "Shawarma is in their name... it's next to a gas station... I bet this place makes a good shawarma". I was sorely disappointed. The chicken did not appear to be cut from a spit. If it was, it was not cut immediately because it was sitting in a chafing dish. Because of this, the meat was very dry and lacked flavor/seasoning. The garlic sauce made up for the lack of flavor by overcompensating; it was the most potent garlic sauce I've ever had. I don't mind some lettuce in my shawarma sandwich, but there was a lot of lettuce, which bulked it up. The pickles were right, at least. The balance of the sandwich was all off and all I tasted was garlic. Fries were pretty good, but they were over-seasoned. Service was fast and friendly. Price was fine but I can get a much better shawarma sandwich elsewhere for less. Overall, I was not impressed and will not likely return. It's the next day and two tooth brushings and I still have a strong flavor of garlic in my mouth... yuck. (Hamido in Dearborn has an amazing shawarma for 25% less; totally worth the drive!)

We got seated right before a waitlist started building. The QR code ordering wasn't working for us, but you can just order at the counter and the staff were helpful, so it wasn't a big deal. I got the Juicy Sean wrap, the pkhali side plate, and the chocolate tahini shake. The walleye in the wrap was really good, super fresh and light. I think next time I'd get extra sauce though because it leaned a little dry for me. The pkhali side plate was great. I've heard it's seasonal, which makes me want to come back and see what else they rotate in. The flatbread paired really well with it. The chocolate tahini shake was good. I'd heard a lot about it. It just didn't stand out as much as I expected personally. Overall I really liked it and I'd come back, especially to try more of the seasonal stuff.

We loved the dip starter and absolutely want to come back for more of their smaller plates. The rice bowls were good, though I felt like the bowl was 75% rice and could've used more add-ins. I would opt for a sandwich next time. We ended the meal with one of my new FAVE desserts in Ann Arbor, their chocolate tahini shake. Service was efficient and friendly too! We will absolutely be back.

If I had gotten my full order it probably would have been a 5 star meal. I had the Dearborn sandwich which was basically a chicken shawarma, dark chicken meat with garlic paste and pickles. It was GREAT. I added extra protein so it was stacked. Their garlic paste (toum) was also awesome. My husband was away at a conference so I could get freaky with the garlic and ordered an extra side of it to dip my fries in it, too. Alas, no fries so I dipped my sandwich right into it instead. It was POTENT and delicious! Just how I like it. I also ordered a small hummus and pita chips. It was a pretty generous serving for small and was excellent. Nice and smooth and the pita chips were so good! I ran out of pita chips so I'd add an extra side of those next time. So yes, there will be a next time, because it was really good, but I'll be sure to ask my delivery person to double check that everything is in the bag next time.
