Shawarma Palace — Restaurant in Worcester

We felt so lucky to have found this place today. We were in the area and were looking for a good Mediterranean place to eat, as we always do when we’re in an area we are not familiar with. We saw the ratings and decided we needed to try this place. Right away we felt like it was going to be a great experience. The people running the restaurant were so kind from the moment we walked in and all the way through our meal and beyond. The food was delicious, fresh,, plentiful, loads of flavor, and the service was amazing. As we were paying and were ready to leave, we were given desserts for our walk back to our car. We had already paid and told the staff how much we enjoyed the food, so there was no incentive for them to give us these free desserts, but just a desire from the people there (we assumed the owners) to add to our experience. We will always go back to this restaurant when we are in the area. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We highly recommend stopping by here for the delicious food and...

Restaurant is one of the best places in the Worcester area for Mediterranean food. This is my go to place for great falafel, beef, and chicken plates. The humus, baba ganoush, and garlic stuff is out of this world with fresh chewy pita bread. Restaurant is vegetarian friendly with a lot of non-meat options.

The prices are very reasonable with a whole plate priced at less than $10. In addition to being great food, the restaurant is owner operated with excellent customer service. The quality of the food and customer service shows the owner cares a lot.

Place can get crowded at lunch with a lot of downtown professionals coming in. Other than around lunch the restaurant has very rapid service and is not super busy.

There is a nice place to eat in with seating for approximately 25 people. There is no outdoor seating but there are a bunch of nice places in downtown Worcester to bring food to.

Great place would...

Where do I begin?

⭐️ Friendly & personable owner (knew I wanted a falafel sandwich before I even said a word - magical. Also engaged in pleasant conversation with me after I commented on a piece of art on the wall depicting beautiful Lebanese landscapes) ⭐️ Delicious, flavorful food (the pita of my falafel sandwich was toasted perfectly. The spice level was perfect - he even asked if it was ok to make it spicy) ⭐️ Polite staff: Priyanka (apologies if I misspelled your lovely name!) chatted with me on her way out, very positive and friendly demeanor. An added plus for the restaurant! ⭐️ Plenty of seating inside ⭐️ Affordable meal (Falafel sandwich was $7.99 when you pay with cash! An understandable 3.99% fee for Credit Card users)

Cannot wait to be back. I feel lucky to work within walking distance. Stop in if you haven’t yet, you will be so...
