First of all, the shawarma is pretty good! It was juicy and the chicken and the beef were tasty. He allowed me to taste both the meat before placing the order it was exactly how a shawarma would taste. It was saucy and crispy all at the same time and the flavors just mixed in really well The owner of the restaurant is really friendly and even provided me with some baklava's at the end. I forgot to get my receipt and the owner was kind enough to just send it over to me next day after a phone call. Really top notch customer service in that aspect. They've been in the block for 7 years now and I can see why. The ratings on this place definitely did not disappoint. Suggestions would be to have provide fries or even have the option of fries. read more

Rating: 4.5 Came to stop by for dinner on the way back from Vermont. The place has good reviews so decided to try it. It's a middle eastern restaurant primarily serves shawarma and other middle eastern cuisines. It's located next to a college building. Parkings are street only. Once we parked on the street we walked over to the restaurant. Inside is spacious pretty clean and there are quite a bit of tables and chairs. We went up to the counter to place orders. I got mixed shawarma plate and baklava. I wanted to try their mango lassi but they were out. The shawarma plate came with choice of rice or mujadara which is a lentil mixed with other vegetables. I got rice with it and it comes with chicken and beef shawarma, rice, salad, pita bread, hummus, garlic sauce and baba ghanoush. The salad, rice, pita bread, and shawarma were ok. Shawarma may have been better if it was earlier during the day as they would be fresher. The stars of the show were the sauces. Hummus, baba ghanoush and garlic sauce were all excellent. Mixing the sauce elevated the shawarma to the next level. Baklava was delicious as well. Not too sweet and that nutty flavor comes out strong. Service was good and staffs were friendly. The dish came out within about 10 minutes or so Overall it's a pretty good shawarma spot. If i were to come back i would see if they would allow substitution with salad for more rice and sauces on top instead of side so that i can have more rice and meat. I've had better quality shawarma but sauces were excellent. read more

We stopped by for lunch and got a chicken and beef plate and a wrap. You can tell this food is made with love and is fresh and healthy. It is not the most flavorful of this kind of food we've had, but it was satisfying. We also got some baklava which was pretty good. Service was also friendly. read more

this was my first time trying Lebanese food, so I ordered something simple the chicken shawarma and the kibbeh, the chicken shawarma Was Juicy and saucy, and the Kibbeh was crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside, imagine eating fried chicken but replace the chicken with beef. overall the food was 7/10, add little salt and some chilies, easy 10/10. the staff were nice and I had a small conversation with one of the workers. the restaurant was a little too quiet for my liking, I may change my review if there were more people the next time I go. read more

Walked in for falafel on a winter night and the man behind the counter was quite welcoming. The space has lots of seating and is really clean too so that was great to see. I ordered a falafel salad to go and they were kind enough to explain to me the ingredients I wasn't familiar with. He also cut off a piece of the lamb shawarma for me to taste and a mini baklava to try as I headed out. Such a small yet significant gesture. My favorite part of the meal had to be the little red chili they had on the side. All ingredients were fresh too so double points for that. My only negative had to be that the falafel's flavor was pretty distant but I'd definitely go back to try a different meal (most likely the lamb shawarma ) read more

The food is so good here. We got the stuffed grape leaves that were delicious and out of this world. We got a chicken shawarma and beef shawarma.

Best shawarma sandwich I've ever had. Hands down. Very clean and modern looking. The guys was also SO NICE and hospitable and all their treats were also really good. Recommend the shawarma with both meats, falafel and the added spicy sauce. Delicious. read more

It's pretty modest in appearance as palaces go but oh my! What it lacks in looks it makes up for in eats! I could tell good things were in store for me as soon as I entered and was wafted away with delicious aromas. I decided to maximize choices and ordered the "shawafel" plate which comprised of their beef and chicken shawarma and their falafel over a rice pilaf and accompanied with some salad, hummus, baba, pickles, and a garlic sauce (and I mean garlic!), as well as a couple pieces of pita. What a feast! I inhaled it in what seems a few minutes and wished I had space for more. My wife had the eggplant plate which contained several slices of fried and seasoned eggplant which she said was the best she'd ever had; my daughter had a grilled falafel wrap which was also reported as excellent. The kind and generous proprietor gave us a couple pieces of complimentary baklava to sample and they were sweet sweet sweet and very good. We will most definitely be back. read more

I went to this Shawarma place on February 10, 2026. I found the staff very kind, generous, and the food delicious. I ordered a mixed Shawarma plate that came with a generous amount of lentils, beef, chicken, baba ghanoush, hummus, and a pita. I also ordered a polar seltzer, which they had many flavors of. Total cost was $20 and the staff was so nice that they gave us some baklava 10 out of 10 the kindness and the generosity beats anything I've had in Boston recently at that price point. read more

Tried shawarma for the first time, and was curious because I always hear people talk about it. I opted for the chicken shawarma plate because although the sandwich sounded good, I wasn't in the mood for it. The plate I had came with chicken shawarma, salad, rice, hummus and pita bread. The portion size was very large and you could easily have leftovers. I thought the dish was just OK though. I would have preferred some more seasoning and spice in the chicken. I did ask them if they had any spice and the lady gave me a small cup of a pickled pepper mix to add to my plate which I greatly appreciated because it added the flavor I was looking for. I did think the lady at the front was very nice. My friend had a lamb shawarma plate and I tried some of the lamb. That tasted really good, I must say. It's a solid three stars for me! read more

Expected More, but Wonderful People I was here for lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant was not busy (I was the only customer). The owner was working behind the counter preparing chicken for the shawarma. He stopped what he was doing, cleaned up, greeted me and carefully prepared the food I ordered. This kind of personal attention to the food doesn't exist at many places and shows the amount the owner cares about his restaurant. I've tried both the chicken and beef shawarma and both were pretty good. The food is all made in-house, and is all fresh. Just expected more. Thanks read more

The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were generous. The baba ganoush was so wonderful I had to order a serving to take home with me. The staff were incredibly welcoming. Thank you! read more

Amazing! We stopped in on a whim while walking with the stroller in downtown and that turned out to be a great decision! We both went with falafel sandwiches and they were fantastic. Some of the best falafel I've ever had! We had wonderful conversation with the owner and he gave us some hummous to sample with pita and it was delicious! We recommend Shawarma Palace wholeheartedly! read more

Best Lebanese food I have ever had. Charlie the owner, is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Great food, great atmosphere. 10/10 read more

This is our first visit to the Shawarma Palace. Wow. It's immaculately clean, the owner and staff are amazing and friendly! Our food was to die for. I got the Falafel Plate (vegetarian) and it was a lot of food. My husband got the Chicken Shawarma Plate and although it was massive too, he had to help me finish mine! Their beverage selection is in cold cases, but there is no lack of choices. I highly recommend this place! It's a nice spot on the courtyard square to stop, cool down and take in the sights. read more

I wish we had more spots like that in Miami The owner was also there taking care of customers with a great attitude. Highly recommend if you like Lebanese food read more

Shawarma Palace - Wow! ...Every time I eat here the food is amazing. This is the chicken and beef shawarma plate. - Lebanese Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

There's a reason this is the TOP rated restaurant in the area (according to Yelp and Google). I was not disappointed. I love Mediterranean food and I was especially pleased when the owner gave me a slice of the beef shawarma to try (even before I ordered). My eyes lit up and I was so impressed. I don't think I've ever tasted anything so flavorful and meaty and juicy like this. I don't know what the poor reviews are talking about when they said they "just expected more" because this was by far the best one I've tried. Please tell me where you've had better shawarma because I maybe ought to try those. I love it when the people who are there to greet you and serve you work like they actually care about their work. You don't really see this in the US much so I was very happy to have had this experience in a place i didn't expect much from (because it's so unfamiliar to me). If you're ever in Worcester, this is the place to eat! read more

I stopped in here while in the area on a work trip. It was in walking distance of the hotel and easy to pop in and out quick. The chicken pita was divine! Service was so friendly. Price was just right. I'd visit again if I get the chance! read more

The owners are amazing, super gracious and lovely. The hummus was good, garlic sauce is still amazing, as is the tahini. The shawarma sandwich was great. We also get t the shawarma plate, but it seemed lacking something. They do still give you a piece of baklava, which is delicious. read more

I am so disappointed with our meal here. We had the chicken Shawarma sandwich and falafel appetizer. Everything was cold. It was I inedible. The falafel was tasteless and cold. The shawarma had a white sauce on it instead of tahini like the menu listed. A few notes. We ate there Saturday mid afternoon so it was not busy. There were 2 girls working there and there was only one other customer so they were not busy. read more

The food here is so so great. Way better than other fast causal places to grab a workday lunch in the area. Tons of food for the price and it's all excellent. My go-to is the Shwalafel which is a plate with chicken and 2 falafel. Tbh I will probably never try anything else bc this is so perfect. Service is fast and staff are nice. read more
