The food was so delicious I couldn't believe I got it from a Mall food cart. I got the chicken and spinach patties meal and EVERYTHING was top tier delicious. The vegetables in the salad were fresh and the dressing was tangy. The people who run Palmyra have limited English capabilities, so communicating was a bit challenging. But the ladies were so obliging that it didn't matter in the end. Highly tecommend. read more

Palmyra Mediterranean Cuisine - Mediterranean Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Palmyra's is a solid reason not negate mall food. Their roasted rack of lamb and chicken is excellent, there are tasty side options, and the portions are plentiful, two servings for myself. We like to grab dinner there and then go across the parking lot to the movie theater. read more

I was traveling in Pittsburgh, and looking for a healthier/fresher option for lunch. Palmyra is in a food court, affecting the ambience, but don't turn away. The quality of the food is on par with a sitdown Mediterranean restaurant. The only reason why I gave a four star rating was because there was a bit of a wait for the food to be put together. But they took their time to make a beautifully presented platter. I went just after 11 AM and the Tabbuouleh salad was bright green and fresh. The chicken platter was wonderful and the lentil rice was a great twist. The lamb and beef Shawarma platter was lightly flavored with warm spices and plentiful. I would go again when I'm in the area. read more

Oh my gosh! This is so good!!! I got the Arabic Style Chicken. I'm so full but don't want to stop eating it I saw our chicken being carved off a vertical rotisserie. That was cool. My daughter got an order of the garlic sauce to dip her fries in. That was very yummy too. Service was great. The lady who took our order was so nice. read more

Absolutely amazing. I visit here often but recently had the absolute best platter I have ever gotten. It's always good, but this time it was out of this world. The owner was working and suggested the fresh yellow rice. Fantastic food & great friendly people! read more

I feel like I'm walking through Mykonos whenever I take a bite into their food the service was great and the honey balls are very crisp read more

Palmyra Mediterranean Cuisine - Arabic style lamb and beef - Mediterranean Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

First, you need to know that this is not your typical mall food court food. The first time I ever tried Palmyra, I told my husband they served some of the best falafel I've ever had. I always order the chicken and falafel combo plate that comes with rice and diced tomatoes/cukes/lettuce, and some pita. It's all good. All of it. I've tried the falafel, the chicken, and the lamb/beef. It's all delicious, and the rice is a fluffy bed of goodness for it all. The garlic sauce is a tasty complement and the hot sauce is a little sweet and will blow your head off so get it on the side if you don't like heat, or you're going to be one sad, hot pup. (I do like heat and I still get it on the side.) But the people that own this place are terrific, and here's why I was extra motivated to leave this review: tonight I had to work late. I sent my family out to dinner so I could work through dinner. They went to a certain mall burger joint and I asked them to bring me Palmyra if it was still open when they were done. "If it's closed when you're done, no big deal." So they went to the counter, and they didn't realize the place was already closing. The owners insisted on serving them anyway. They were out of some things, so they made me a combo plate of the bit of lamb they had left, and a sizeable portion of chicken, plus they fried me two FRESH falafel. (Seriously. They could have just told him, "Sorry, out of falafel," and didn't.) And instead of a bed of rice, they gave me a delicious, generous bed of mujadarra (a special from today, maybe?)--all in all, a *pile* of food. My husband apologized profusely for inconveniencing anyone and thanked them because his wife had to work late and Palmyra was my request. The owner was gracious and just lovely to him. My husband came home and started the story by telling me, "These people are AWESOME." And they really are, because this delicious combo of food hit just right tonight, and hearing that they provided it as they were closing the place for the evening makes me know they're good humans as well as good cooks. And we need more good humans in the world. read more

Palmyra Mediterranean Cuisine - My favorite falafel. - Mediterranean Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I have never had tabouli like I got at Palmyra. The best ever! Best in South Hills Village

This place is amazing! I get the Chicken Shawarma platter and it's the best. The chicken has so much flavor. They give you fresh pita's, garlic mayo, rice, and it's served on top of tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce. My gf gets the Special Chicken (Mildly Spicy). It's Spicy Chicken with roasted bell peppers & onions, served on a bed of rice, tomato cucumber salad & Iceberg lettuce. She loves it! My gf and I look forward to eating here a couple times a month. I highly recommend it. You have to try their homemade Baklava. The family that owns and runs the place is so nice. They are good people. They are opening a restaurant close to South Hills Village on South Park Road in September 2026. We can't wait! read more

Had I known this was from a good court, no way would I have ordered. What an error in judgement that would have been. Ordered from Uber Eats and Mediterranean choices popped up. My husband had the chicken schwarma wrap and I had the Mediterranean salad with chicken. Both were fresh, well-seasoned (especially the cucumber and tomatoes). The garlic sauce was amazing. Delivery was fast and food was hot. Driver very kind, too. Great choice. read more

This is my favorite Mediterranean restaurant. It has the best and the freshest food. The grape leaves are exceptional. I especially love the ones with the meat. Their hummus is so delicious. It just melts in your mouth. The food is good and the service is fantastic. More people need to come out and give this place a try. My fiancé and I love it here. read more

Writing a review for a place from the mall food court isn't something that I would normally think to do. It didn't even occur to me to take pictures, it just wasn't on my mind. This place changed that and I could not be more excited to write about it. This is hands down the best mall food court meal I've ever had. I ordered the Arabic style shawarma with the beef and lamb mix. The first bite was sublime. It is so perfectly flavorful, and so obvious the love and care that goes into making it. Never did I think I would say that about food at the mall. And the garlic sauce is addictive, so good with fries. The staff was very friendly. I honestly can't wait to go back. Highly, highly, highly recommend! read more

It's been a long time since I've been to South Hills Village so I was surprised to see Palmyra Mediterranean Cuisine in the food court. I ordered the Beef and Lamb Shawarma, rice pilaf and Fattoush Salad (?) since this was my first time trying Palmyra. The platter came with three slices of thin pita bread and a container of yogurt sauce. The lamb and beef was a generous portion, unfortunately the lamb didn't hit the spot for me. There were quite a few good slices of fat but nothing that took away from the portion of meat. The rice pilaf had lentils mixed in and tasted just fine, the Fattoush was really good, and the freshness helped cut some of the greasiness of the meat. It's nice to have some 'real' food in a mall setting, and I do look forward to trying more of the menu whenever I'm at S Hills Village again. For the price of almost $15, it's average when you compare it to what you'd pay at the other food court stops. read more

Very average. Rice mix is very hard to eat, extremely salty, and the lamb and chicken. Shawarma is way below average and filled with fat. Try and make it to Aladdin's ...if you can read more

Palmyra Mediterranean Cuisine - Low grade beef. Tons of filler/fat. - Mediterranean Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Stopped here while at the mall vs the usual mall options we hit & was pleasantly surprised. While a little on the pricier side for what you'd expect at the mall, the food at Palmyra is well worth it. We ordered the Mediterranean Salad with Chicken & the Chicken Shwarma with rice. Both portions were bigger than expected. The flavor of the chicken was amazing. The rice was light. My wife raved about her sald. We'll definitely visit again when we're in the area and want something healthier. read more

I would say up until about three months ago. I was very happy with. Palmyra. I would go at least once a week with my granddaughter who loves their food. The portions sizes used to be balanced. Our dish of choice would either be the chicken Shawarma or the lamb and beef Shawarma.. my last three visits I thought maybe OK it was just by chance that they were skimping on the meat! I went as recently as yesterday. They plated up the container with more than half of the container with RICE a scoop of salad and very little meat!!!! but yet their prices have gone up!!!! To be fair, If their prices are gonna go up they could've at least still served the quantity of food that they were giving you in the past, but now they're giving you much less!!! "WHERES THE MEAT?!" more RICE as a filler much less meat!!! "Palmyra, it's the people who made your business, we shared by word-of-mouth." " This mouth is saying that you are deliberately cheating people because for the price you should at least be putting the right portions of meat on trays!" read more

Don't let the fact they are in a mall fool you, this place is AWESOME! I have had kebob and shawarma all over the world and this is the real deal! If you are in the area or within a reasonable drive it is worth the trip. Get extra to bring home since it's great as leftovers too! read more

Palmyra Mediterranean Cuisine - Beef/Lamb platter with extra meat, Baba Ganoush and Spicy Chicken side - Mediterranean Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Got a Lamb & Beef Shwarma, and honestly, while the flavor and ingredients were good, the size of the sandwiche was about half what I was expecting, considering the price is on par with most similar places. Im no stranger to the ubiquitous Mall Food Court Gyro and overall I was genuinely disappointed with the amount of food I got. I will say the people working were friendly and they seem like a family business so i would give them another try, and hope for a better experience. read more

Wow, what a gem! I ran here for a quick lunch to bring home and devoured everything. It was definitely enough for two days' worth of lunch, but I just couldn't stop myself. The marinated tomatoes and cucumbers had just the right amount of seasoning, and the lamb and beef was AWESOME. I had watched Beat Bobby Flay the other day, and it had me in the mood for falafel, so I went for the combo. The falafel was super crispy on the outside and soft inside. It wasn't quite the same as I've had wandering the streets of NYC late at night, but it was still very good. I'm looking forward to getting over here again soon. read more

Palmyra Mediterranean Cuisine - Combo platter with lamb and beef, falafel, garlic sauce, and pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I never get tired of their service. I make sure to visit their business every time I'm at South Hills Village. Their hospitality and warm welcome mean a lot to me. One of the owner's sons even wanted to learn sign language because I am deaf, so he could communicate with me and other deaf individuals in case they visit their business. That is a plus that he knows four languages to accommodate customers who speak foreign. I will definitely return the next time I'm at the mall. read more

What a hidden gem in the South Hills Village mall! This was recommended by a friend who said the food was pretty authentic and it was a great meal! The quantity is very generous and meat is well cooked! I do wish there was a chicken option that was more marinated/spicy but worth asking about! The garlic sauce is phenomenal and they give pita as well! The salad was really fresh too! Overall great service and convenient location while you tend to your shopping needs! read more

Stopped by when shopping and ordered the Lamb & beef Shawarma Wrap included all the veggies and sauce. The wrap was tasty but the meat was a little tough to chew. Really a good choice in the food court. read more

The food has always been lovely. Fresh ingredients with lovely service to match. I think this might be a local family business (not 100%) so that's great! But regardless it's delicious. We like the gyro, the falafel gyro, the hummus is to die for, the spinach pies, and the baklava. The ambience is just the mall food court read more

My husband always stops to bring home food when he is in the area. Quality ingredients and great menu variety. We were surprised a food court would have such organic quality menu options. The tabouli is hands down the best in the south hills. Would highly recommend read more

This restaurant is fairly new to the mall. I stopped and chose the combo platter. Since it was near the end of the day, the server was extremely courteous and created me a "true" combo meal. It included chicken shawarma, two falafel, spicy chicken shawarma, lentil rice, yellow rice, rice pilaf, Mediterranean salad, tabbouleh and fresh pita. All was extremely refreshing and quite tasty. For a healthy mall food option, it's definitely worth checking out. The service was phenomenal, as well!!! read more

Best thing in the South Hills village by far. I got the Arabic style chicken shawarma. The flavor was excellent. The chicken was perfect. The tortilla wrap was slightly too greasy. I would recommend that they have some paper to hold it in. Other than that, absolutely delicious. read more
