Palmyra - A Hidden Gem for Middle Eastern Cuisine
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had the pleasure of dining at Palmyra in San Francisco, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely phenomenal, and the customer service was equally impressive.

The Dishes:
The flavors were authentic and rich, with everything cooked to perfection. The grilled chicken was tender and flavorful, the lentil soup was perfectly spiced, and the kabobs were juicy and seasoned just right. The hummus was creamy with a delightful hint of sumac, and the fresh cucumber-tomato salad balanced the meal beautifully. Every dish was plated with care and served fresh.

Customer Service:
The staff (Br Yasir) was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. They were quick to accommodate requests and made us feel like valued guests.

Ambiance:
The restaurant offers a cozy and inviting environment, perfect for a casual dinner or a special gathering.

What’s not to love about this spot? I’ve been visiting for years, rotating between the Syrian style chicken shawarma wrap or the half rotisserie chicken plate and I’m legit never let down. This place is very consistent.

They offer all around Super fair prices, with a big portion size, everything is well seasoned and fresh and the staff are all extremely nice. Just a solid, to the point, delicious middle eastern meal. Best part is that it’s not greasy at all either. Also low key one is the best hummus I’ve had.

It’s a place you’ll feel good supporting, give them some support, you won’t regret eating here. The plate in my photo literally only cost $15, you can’t ask for more!

This place is so welcoming and homey. Service is so nice. Prices are so reasonable. Wrap was warm and full of veggies, next time I might ask for some hot sauce to go with.
