Amazing food with good prices and great service. My husband and I stopped by for a quick bite and weren't too hungry so we shared a mixed shawarma plate. The owner was super friendly and even gave us an extra side of rice on the house. Shawarma was tender and flavorful, salad and hummus were also delicious! We will be back for more for sure.

The food was amazing and the man at the front was so nice! It was around closing time and he gave out some pastries to everyone in there. I would absolutely recommend anyone to go there it was so friendly.

Service was very friendly and fast. Food was delicious and inexpensive. The owner was attentive and even offered us some free pistachio baklava that was equally delicious. We will be back again when we are in the area!

I live close by and this is my favorite favorite favorite Mediterranean food. Lebanese is always my favorite and Shawarma Palace is no exception! I typically get a chicken shawarma plate or wrap and it’s so yummy every time. I can eat a container of their hummus in one sitting! The service and efficiency are also above and beyond. It is common to receive a sample of their phenomenal baclava when you order and pickup in person. The staff are so kind the food is just absolutely addicting and the prices are extremely reasonable and competitive. I also highly recommend the stuffed grape leaves!

Been coming here for years. This place hits all the points; first, it is immaculate. I have a bit of a germ thing, and yet I’d eat straight off the table here. Next: the folks who work here are incredibly nice. I remember nearly 8 years ago getting take out and thinking “man, the customer service alone deserves 5-stars…” and that was before we even tried the food. The food: holy moly is it delicious. It is well-flavored, cooked perfectly and not pretending to be anything that it’s not. The portions are generous, and the food is so filling. Today, I got the shawarma. I love that it was mostly meat, and not just a couple of dinky pieces covered in a mountain of lettuce, quite the opposite. My hubby got the shawarma plate; giant giant portion! If I wasn't dead-set on the sandwich, we could have split the plate, and both been sufficiently full… well, now hubs has leftovers for a little pre-dinner snack to fill up on… Anyway, this place is fantastic, and you should come here.

Really really liked this joint! Got a “shawafel” sandwich with falafel and chicken - with salad and tahini - and it was a great quick lunch before a show at the Hanover. The wrap felt more tortilla-like than a thicker pita, but they grilled the wrap and that’s just a +2 for flavor in my book. Top 3 falafel I’ve had in New England and the chicken was very tasty as well. Sandwich was around $12, good size and value, and the owners were very friendly and even let us try a sample of their pistachio bakalava which was also bomb.

We stopped in last week with the family. The restaurant wasn’t busy as we were there between meals. Service was great and quick, food was all super fresh and very tasty… Very friendly people would definitely return. Thank you!!

Another outstanding meal and experience at Shawarma Palace. My wife and I began a small vacation and kicked it off by placing an order online and picking up our lunch in person. I used to work downtown but made the switch to remote, and I am reminded that we need to do Shawarma Palace more regularly again. Our food was ready when we arrived, and the staff was friendly like always. I can't say enough positive things about this place. We ordered the Spinach Pie, Hummus, Falafel (4 pc), Chicken Shawarma Sandwich, and Baklava. Everything looked great and tasted even better. The Hummus was even more creamy and delicious than I remembered and the Falafel balls are going to be a new regular addition to our orders in the future. Yum!!
