We got the Shekamoo Plate ($32) which easily feeds two and is packed with so much flavor. For our two kebabs, we picked the saffron chicken and koobideh. Our favorite was the chicken which was juicy, tender, and so delicious! The koobideh was a little dry but pairing it with the shallot yogurt made it better. The plate comes with many sides - the soft and warm pita bread with a bright, flavorful hummus, the cool and refreshing shallot yogurt and shirazi salad, and grilled onions and tomatoes. The kebabs sat in a bed of saffron rice which we found to be ok. But overall the presentation was beautiful in the dishes they came out in! We were only disappointed that at the time we went (4:30pm'ish on a Friday) , they were out of the eggplant dip which we were so looking forward to trying based on other reviews. And because I didn't plan it out well (I forgot the shekamoo plate already had hummus) we ended up with more hummus than we wanted when we subbed our eggplant dip order with hummus instead. However the pita chips were really good and I can only imagine it would've been amazing with the eggplant dip! Great service, friendly front counter young lady. The owner came out to check on us too which I really appreciate!

There wasn't anyone dining in when we dropped in though it was after lunch hours. You write your order on a slip and put it in the tray and they'll prepare your order (we didn't know this was protocol but a lady picking up her food let us know what to do). We ordered a chicken shawarma wrap with lentil soup and a beef kabob plate and that was plenty of food for the two of us. Their meat is seasoned well, the hummus is very fresh and their yogurt sauce is delicious. Try the lentil soup. I love how something so simple is so tasty and comforting on a chilly day.

They have since opened up their own restaurant in Downtown SLO and celebrated their 1 year anniversary the weekend we were there. Already had plans that evening so missed out on their live cultural show for their celebration but did manage to stop by for lunch the last time we were passing through SLO. I always get the causa every time and this time was no different, getting both the octopus and mushroom causa while the pork chicharron sandwich is always a winner. By actually dining in vs. takeout, meant I can get the Chicha Morada made with purple corn that my high school friend who spent years doing research in the Peruvian Amazon introduced me to decades ago and tried for the first time, the Hot Maca.

Also a random bath and body works candle was lit in the restaurant?? It felt like I was eating inside of a bathroom instead of a restaurant. Our waitress was behind the counter and did not greet us until after 15 minutes of sitting. My cup had lipstick stains and grime on it. Their lack of communication was wild because we were asked what we wanted to drink twice and the drinks did not come out until after the food came. We got the pesto pasta with steak. Food was missing salt, we had to ask the busboy for the check 3 separate times, and the waitress only started to recommend meals and chat with us once I was looking at the tip screen. I would not recommend at all.

She pointed to the menu on top of her head, which is right there above the cashier, but I was standing so far at the back of the line which was at least 50 feet away, that I could not read the stuff on the menu that was over her head. But the point is that she wasn't even nice about it and said OK fine I'll give you a menu. When I finally made my decision, I asked her if I needed it to be on the other line or the line that she was standing at and she retorted - please give me a minute. There was no kindness. There was no common courtesy, just a matter of fact approach to really, an out of towner, tourist, who's just trying to give her restaurant's food a shot. I'm just really shocked at the rudeness. I proceeded to order the flat Thai noodles with mung beans and chicken. It came. It was fresh. But honestly, it lacks any flavor. Sorry. It was a disappointment. I'm from South East Asia. I know what I'm talking about. I would be generous to give them a 3/5. Sorry. It's not very good food at all. Which means there's nothing to say about this place other than - step up your Thai food game. Or be nice at least.

My friends and I (a group of five) decided to try and stop by Thai Palace . We arrived around 5:30…read morePM on a Tuesday and were greeted and seated right away, which was a great start to our experience. For food, we ordered two orders of the chicken satay, the pad thai, yellow curry, and two mango sticky rice desserts to share. Overall, the food was delicious. The chicken satay was probably my least favorite dish of everything we ordered, but it was still good. The standouts for us were definitely the Pad Thai and the yellow curry. The real star of the meal, however, was the mango sticky rice. It was one of the best versions I've had. What made it special was how balanced it was the coconut cream and sticky rice had a savory taste that paired well with the sweet mango perfectly. Many mango sticky rice desserts I've tried are overwhelmingly sweet, but this one had great balance and the mangoes were perfectly ripe and sweet. All five of us absolutely loved it. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the service. The staff were friendly, but not very attentive. My friends and I are Filipinos, we typically eat our meals with a spoon and fork. When our food arrived, we immediately asked for spoons, but they never came. We ended up making do with just our forks for the entire meal. The server checked on us a little after receiving our meals and asked how everything tasted, but after that we rarely saw anyone until we were nearly finished. There were a few things we requested that never made it to the table. Overall, the food was excellent and I would definitely come back, especially for the mango sticky rice. The service wasn't bad, but a little more attentiveness would have made the experience much better.
