Dani's Palace Shawarma and Grill - Bangoy — Restaurant in Davao City

MAN! THIS PLACE WAS 💯 LEGIT!!!

We were walking around looking for a place to eat because we just want to eat something good, and not fast food nor road side kinda food. And thank God we saw this from the stoplight.

IT WAS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FOR ME BECAUSE IT'S LEGIT! Ingredients were fresh and meats are flavorful. Sauces are fresh and delicious!

The store outside doesn't look fanciful. It looks normal and not intimidating for a normal eater. However what set this apart is because the floors are clean!!! You wouldn't expect it on this but their floors were squeaky clean! It's nothing compared to fast food or other stores nearby.

The customer service is ⭐ !!! They were very accommodating, gentle, kind. Not so pinoy jolly friendly but has the right amount of respect and space which I super duper love.

The chef is legit! He peaks. And I know we should have complimented him, but after we ate, we couldn't see him from the kitchen window, but as he was doing service, we heard his voice. And he's the real deal!

The food! The food is delicious! lezzetli!!! We ordered grilled biryani chicken - the rice had the right amount of flavor from all the ingredients, the chicken was a little bit dry but it doesn't affect the biryani. It was actually very delicious. It has yogurt and sambal for the dip and it's soooo yummy! And fresh! We also had chicken shawarma rice! And I tell you it didn't disappoint! The chicken, was well season. The chicken alone you're already good, and their rice, is long grained. The same one they use for biryani. Its flavor is compact and well paired with the shawarma chicken. It also has a small salad on the side I forgot what it was called, not sure if it's falloo or fatoo or something. Just check the menu. But it was the FRESHEST SALAD I EVER TASTED. It was on small saucer tho it's serve small, but it's already good enough to quench your appetite. Along with it is a garlic dip and sambal as well. Even the dip was so fresh you can just simply consume it!

Grilled Chicken biryani is at 385 it's single order but it has a big serving! I can't say it's good for two though, because it's so delicious you'll surely want to finish the dish.

Chicken shawarma is at 285 it's also a single order but the chicken serving is so full you'll might find yourself ordering another cup of rice to finish it.

I hope I ordered a salad of the falloo taffoo talloo latoo? Whatever that side dish salad was because I tell you, this shawarma place is LEGIT!

Did I mention it's clean?? I'm not sure how clean but the floor is spot on! I kinda check the stairs if it was clean on the sides coz I'm not sure if it's the cement markings or droppings uncleaned. But I'm sure the floor where you dine is clean!

I now have another reason to go back to Davao because of this shawarma place. Kudos to the chef! And to the...

My first visit was a super good one, but my recent one was kinda sad.

The falafel was a bit too dry. I’ve tried falafels from other stores enough for me to make a comparison. Taste-wise, it was okay.

We also tried their kebab platter. The same sentiment goes for the meat, particularly the chicken. It was dry and it lacked flavor. Good thing there were dips or sauces on the side to compensate. For its price, sad to say that it wasn’t really worth it.

The hummus and pita bread were still as amazing as ever. Hay salamat.

I really must comment on the food because the quality was not the same as before. There was no party of flavors.

As for the place, their second floor had good interiors. But it was cramped and dim (not in a bad way, I guess it helped set up the mood) in contrast to their ground floor. They had decent comfort room and a sink outside to wash your hands. Another concern was that they need to address their weak air conditioning and exhaust fan(s). When it gets hot during noon time, it becomes awfully hot inside as well. I had this observation during my first visit and up until my recent visit, nothing was fixed.

On the bright side, the staffs were friendly and accommodating. They were fun when we asked them to take pictures of us. Thank you po. :)

I would still visit in the future. Maybe we just got unlucky (but they should be consistent, diba?). Anyway, I just miss their food and the experience I first had in their restaurant.

Another important thing: they don’t have parking spaces. They’re located along a busy street with no room for side parking (don’t be a bad driver please)....

This establishment used to be a 5-star. Great food, great ambiance...and the best selling point: Privacy for important talks in the second floor.

We went there because we need to talk about important stuff while eating.

However, they implemented that "Below 1000 pesos worth order can't use the rooms on the second floor.

So we decided to cancel our order because we can't go upstairs. But the cashier said we can't cancel even though the order hasn't been delivered to the kitchen yet.

To avoid, arguments, we decided to just do "takeout" and eat somewhere else.

The food took awhile. While we were waiting, we observed other customer if they would be banned from using the second floor tables. Low and behold, a group of customers ordered foods amounting to 500 something pesos yet they were allowed access to the second floor. (Our order amounted to 800ish pesos btw)

after awhile, the food was packed and we left. When we arrived on the next location, we found out that the extra sauce we ordered was not included, and not even a single spoon was included. They could've just given us additional charge for spoons and/or forks.

They've just lost a loyal customer that have been with them (atleast once a...
