Restaurant la Palestine — Restaurant in Marseille

Great food! Disappointing experience 😖 I visited at 7.15 one evening in July, based on google maps reviews. Just one table was occupied on the terrace: the sullen youth waiter seemed genuinely put out when I asked to occupy a table outside. The food was excellent, but the young waiter continued to be sullen, grudging and generally not fit for purpose. When he brought my main course I ordered another glass of wine. He forgot it - by this stage he had a total of 3 tables with 5 people to consider. It must have been very taxing… now imagine if they are full outside and inside -the experience he would deliver? When he came to remove my main course plate, I reminded him about the wine. He didn’t seem particularly concerned or embarrassed. The wine also arrived in a water glass, so I had to pour it from that into my original wine glass (just for the record I have worked as a Barman, refuse collector, toilet cleaner in nightclubs and street sweeper. I have always worked with diligence, good humour and willingness). Finally when I came to pay the bill, I was given no bill, just a number quoted at me; the menu I was given didn’t include a drinks section in it so I had no idea of what drinks cost.

Well, I don’t know if they’ll read this review, because their opening hours were recorded wrongly on google maps (so I corrected them…). But if they do: Keep up the great food. Include a drinks section in the menu, and issue bills with a clear break down Train your waiter to smile, be friendly and efficient and take pride in his work. Or sack him.

Without being smug, I’m a management consultant now. But this advice...

We recently went to this restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance was inviting, with a warm, cozy and joyful atmosphere with a beautiful decoration.

The service was impeccable—attentive, young friendly staff who made sure every need was met without being intrusive.

Now, onto the food! Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. We ordered a meal and a dish. The kebabs were too good. Tasty and yummy! From appetizers to desserts, every bite was a culinary delight. Only I would like to mention about the meat (agneau) was not well cooked. It was a little hard to chew.

Whether you're a meat lover or vegetarian this restaurant excels in offering something for everyone.

Regarding the conclusion of our visit, I'd like to mention a minor issue with the bill. Unfortunately, we didn't receive a receipt detailing the prices of the drinks and food items. While settling the payment, we noticed a slight disparity between our order and the bill, amounting to a difference of approximately 3 to 4 euros. Despite this discrepancy, we opted not to raise the concern due to the exceptional quality of the food.

We had an unforgettable dining experience. I can't wait to return and...

I found this restaurant on google before we visited Marseille this week and was hoping to eat there. Wow! I am so glad we were lucky enough to get a table. We didn't book, which was unwise, but got there early enough to get in. It is difficult to describe because it is in essence a simple restaurant but what they have done is present wonderful food in a lovely stylish way. The hummus starter plate is to die for. Three dips all home made and so creamy and tasty. Plus a chopped tomato and parsley salad and some deep fried tasty morsels. I have never tasted it this good. Then the main course of kebabs with traditional fragrant rice with nuts and fruit. Once again fantastic. I am sure I cannot describe the quality of the food. There was a queue of customers and some were turned away because this restaurant is so popular. The atmosphere is wonderful and the service great. Oh and our entire meal was just 43 euros. Great value.
