La Palma Middle Eastern Restaurant

We had a difficult week at work so we decided to treat our hard working staff to lunch so we ordered a variety of food and picked it up. Everything was fantastic especially my favorite, the tomato kibbe (vegetarian option made of tomatoes and bulgur wheat with cumin and other middle eastern spices). We also got the freshly squeezed orange juice, fatoush with grilled chicken, chicken shawarma, and the loaded chicken shawarma fries, and hummus. The staff couldn’t be happier with how fresh and authentic everything was. Thanks again to the La Palma team.

Update 5/31/24: We came all the way from Dearborn where Arab restaurants are plentiful but not as good as they were many years ago. First of all they serve the fluffy little bread they bake in the brick oven in front of your eyes with delicious garlic sauce and spicy garlic sauce as an appetizer. The hummus was so creamy and delicious even my picky 2 year old daughter couldn’t get enough. The fatoush and tabouli (salads) were crisp and fresh and had just the right amount of dressing. The main course was the platter for 3; an array of flame broiled chicken skewers, lamb skewers, kafta, veggies and my favorite the lamb chops served on a bed of fluffy yellow rice. The freshly squeezed orange juice and fruit smoothie was the icing on the cake on this sunny and beautiful day. The servers were quick, knowledgeable, and patient as ever. The co-owner and cook Fahd even came by to see how everything was. Exceptional restaurant and service; we’ll be back soon. Thank you!

Great food, service, and decor and wonderful ambiance! The place looks very new and very clean.

I had the thinly sliced chicken breasts with the saji sauce. Very good and seasoned to perfection. My husband had the combo platter with shish tawook, kafta, and chicken kabobs with rice and he loved it. We also shared the loaded chicken shawarma fries which were amazing! I've never had something like that. We got burgers and fries for the kids and they loved it, but they also couldn't stop eating the hummus which was a big surprise to me because my kids are very picky, but hey I was happy because hummus is very healthy.

We all loved the little pitas that come straight out of their brick ovens that they make up in front, right before your eyes. And the garlic sauce was on point. 10/10 we'll be back soon.
