Delicious Falafel Wrap & Friendly Service
I would definitely come back here and get the falafel wrap again! It offered a great combination of flavors and textures, making it very enjoyable. I ordered online for pickup and noted my allergy; the man behind the cash register was good about checking in with me, ensuring I felt secure in my order. I could tell the service is very friendly and personable. Although I was in a rush, I would have engaged in a chat if I had more time. The restaurant has lots of indoor seating and a bit of outdoor seating. A suggestion for the business: if you could make your signage bigger and more visible, especially being on a corner, I think it would attract more business. I followed Google Maps but still walked right past it and had to backtrack because the signage wasn't very visible. Another friend who frequents this area mentioned she's been around a lot of places and never knew a Mediterranean place was nearby. You have great food – advertise more boldly if possible!

Delicious Food, Welcoming Atmosphere
I highly recommend this restaurant! I visit often because it offers great food, kind hosts, and ample space/seating. It's a very comfortable place to eat, sit and read, or chat with friends. I've tried the rotisserie chicken, lamb shawarma, and kofta platter – all were delicious, though my personal favorite is the lamb shawarma. A special shout out goes to the cashier worker/server who is always warm, smiling, and extremely welcoming! I really appreciate his kindness and hard work. The owner is also lovely.

Authentic Syrian Gem: A Culinary Delight
My experience at Palmyra was a true celebration of Syrian culinary heritage. The restaurant offers an exceptional kibbeh, which is Syria’s national dish and a masterpiece of perfectly spiced lamb and bulgur balls, fried to a golden crisp with a tender, flavorful core that bursts with aromatic depth. Palmyra’s commitment to authenticity shines through in every bite, making it unforgettable. The mezze plate is a delightful medley, featuring creamy hummus, zesty fattoush, and smoky baba ghanoush, all paired with warm, freshly baked pita. The interplay of textures and tangy seasonings creates a true Levantine feast. The star, however, is the kunafa—a heavenly dessert of shredded phyllo layered with gooey cheese, soaked in rosewater-infused syrup, and sprinkled with pistachios. Its perfect balance of sweetness and texture is pure bliss. The warm, Syrian-inspired ambiance enhances the experience, making every visit feel like a cultural embrace. For anyone seeking authentic Syrian cuisine, Palmyra’s kibbeh, mezze plate, and kunafa are must-tries that deliver joy and flavor in every mouthful. This is a destination that celebrates Syria’s rich culinary heritage with passion and precision.

Amazing Shawarma and Falafel
My experience at this restaurant in 2019 was fantastic. I found the shawarma to be amazing, packed with lots of flavor in every bite. I also very much enjoyed the falafel.

Delicious Turkish Food and Great People!
My experience at this restaurant was excellent, thanks to the delicious food and wonderful people. As a Turkish person, I truly enjoyed my meal. I ordered the chicken kebab plate, which was incredibly tasty. The accompanying hummus, salad, and rice were all superb. I also tried the namoura dessert and absolutely loved it!

Overcooked Food, High Price
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. The food was overcooked and hard to chew. Additionally, the price felt too high compared to the amount of food served.
