The cozy and welcoming atmosphere of Palmyra Grill makes it a perfect spot for a casual lunch or a dinner with family and friends.
Tried this place for the first time, and ordered the lamb shank dinner plate. It was actually pretty good and well prepared all the items included in this dish tasted well seasoned. The Lamb was soft and tender and I added some falafels which were nice tasting. The atmosphere in the restaurant itself is kind of bland and the menu system is terrible they definitely need to improve the menu whether that be on a monitor or an actual paper menu of some kind. Some of the items are a little bit overpriced as well but the people are friendly. I wanted to try the lentil soup but they said they didn't have any that day.
The food was delicious and the server was an amazing chef. He prepared his way and I really loved his food. What a delight! Definitely will return!
The best shawarma in the Fraser Valley. I ordered Lamb Plate and Chicken Shawarma with Saj bread. I go here regularly and it's really authentic.
The food is very, very delicious, the service is excellent and fast, and the atmosphere is calm and wonderful. I loved the food, it is really Arabic, and the shawarma is very delicious.
With the high reviews I wanted to try this out for iftar, however I found the Arabic wrap was burnt one side severely. I did tell them this will be our first time trying their food and was excited about it. We paid over $60 for 2 of us and we work hard for our money. If your going to serve us burned food and this is our first time ordering and charge us fully, then will be our last time ordering also. Especially during Ramadan. Here's a picture
This is one of my favorite places to get shawarma in Surrey! I love the Arabica wraps here, very simple yet very delicious. The garlic sauce here is so good and goes well with the fries too! I also love their other wraps in saj bread. The meats here are always fresh and juicy. Customer service is also great, they always make sure to ask what you want on your wrap - you can also request extra sauce if you need it. I love getting extra hot sauce on all my wraps. 🔥 I definitely recommend this place if you're craving some really good shawarma in the Guildford area. Also, if you haven't tried an Arabica wrap yet, I highly recommend trying it here...it will blow your mind! 🤯🤤👍
As a shawarma expert I can give you guarantee that this place food is great one of the best in Vancouver Lower mainland area. Falafel even my 9 month old son ate 2 pieces. Great service though I can see sometimes it is really difficult to perform because of area and high demand.
We used to live near the area when they first opened and I was a bit sad that we moved farther out and won’t be able to go this place as often. We love the food! We always get the lamb plate. The portion is big enough. The taste is so delicious. We just crave for it. The rice is something we cannot find anywhere so far. The hummus is freshly made and delicious. The ladies are always so pleasant, smiling and welcoming. Whenever we’re in Guiford, we always make sure to eat here! We highly recommend this place 👌🏼
The food and service were ok, but the place was stuffy. Hence, the smell of the kitchen was so strong.
Best food best choice.
The best shawarma and falafel are very excellent. In Arabic, the food is very delicious Although it was in short supply The team was very cooperative and handled the issue very positively. They brought the missing meal to my house amazingly quickly, which showed their interest and concern for customer satisfaction. Thank you, and I will be a permanent customer, God willing! I apologize if I wasted something, but I was praying from hunger and I was going through a difficult day. I highly recommend it too
I love their arabi shawarma!! Gives me the feeling of shawarmas back in Oman!! Loved it
I dined at Palmyra and tried their shawarma plate, and falafel both were absolutely delicious! The shawarma was perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor, while the falafel was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside Dang!!! Every bite was a delight, and the portions were generous. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic, flavorful Middle Eastern food!
The management and staff, are extremely sweet, and kind and always look after their customers like we are a part of their family would highly recommend this restaurant as a 5 star in high quality food and excellent service. My son since 5years old now 14 wants nothing but Aunty Ilhems rice and chicken at Palmyra. Thankyou for your continued service in our community.
We have been here before and enjoyed the food. This time was a, little different. The lamb plate was excellant moist tender and good to eat. The beef plate unfortunally was very dark, dried out hard to chew and tasteless. I wont be back.
Parking: A few parking spaces but we found parking. Food
Amazing food! They catered our company picnic and we were so impressed by everything. The food was exceptional and everyone raved about the flavor. The staff were lovely. Incredibly warm and friendly from the moment I drove up! Highly recommend
I called in to get 3 chicken bowls. The rude guy said it is only for students. I have ordered them before so many times. The website does not say that. That is false advertising!! I will never buy food from you again!!
Hands down best place I have been to, and the food was amazing shawarma chicken wrap was the most tasty wrap I have ever had! The service was really nice and welcoming
Best wrap I have ever tasted All thanks to Palmyra Mediterranean grill And big thanks to Daniel for the great recommendations Recommended dishes Chicken Shawarma
Nice food
Just ordered thru uber which usually ends up gd but it was too salty overall and portions for meat is somewhat small.
I recently dined here and had the pleasure of trying their lamb gyro. It was absolutely outstanding! The lamb was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, with a tender and juicy texture that melted in my mouth. It was very flavorful and the presentation was impeccable, and the service was top-notch. If youre a fan of lamb, this dish is a must-try. I can t wait to return and explore more of their menu!
Bathroom was clogged, no one cared, service was slow
Guys they are so nice here, very polite and respectful. The second I walked in I had a smile on my face! Worth to go here
This place is located on the corner of 152nd street and 100 ave. The food is very good. Service is fast. The place is clean.
Not sure if this is new management but the staff has lost all courtesy. Have been going to this place for the last 5 years but perhaps no more
We have been ordering kids bowl for our 10 yr old for years. Now suddenly we heard that manager doesn t allow selling kids bowl with lamb shawarma and the price went up from 5.99 to 10.99 and at the same time the quantity of meet is reduced to half. I also heard from staff that people were getting advantage of this option. Now what? Are you guys taking advantage of customers? Terrible experience. Very poor customer service!
My family and I love this restaurant; the food is amazingly yummy; well prepared, with extra details around taste and cleanliness; i like the fact that its right in front where the customer can see as your food is packed or dished out, I highly recommend this place if you want authentic taste of Mediterranean and Syrian foods, esp. their falafel and Shawarma Dietary restrictions: good vegetarian options
One of the very few places were you can eat something that is close to actual shawarma. NOT DONAIR. Because donair IS NOT SHAWARMA. Just make sure to order the chicken shawarma in saj bread. And tell them to remove spicy sauce because actual middle eastern shawarma eaten in Egypt, Turkey, and Iran,...no one puts spicy sauce. And trust me, Palmyra puts really spicy sauce in the sandwitch. I wish they can also make less crunchy/fried fries (something like Jerusalem grills fries)...and put it in their chicken shawarma sandwitch. That would really take it to another level and make it more authentic You have no idea how hard it is for a middle eastern to find shawarma in this province. Anyways...thats why I really really love the place....They are also fine with selling saj bread and toumeya on their own. for a very cheap price. very nice people.
Vegetarian options: Falafel available Food
10/10 just wish they opened until after 10
Got a chicken shawarma wrap with saj bread, cost was $13.64 including tax, no tip as I was doing takeout. I noticed they went to get the meat from a tin food warmer thing, and asked if I could get fresh meat instead from the grill. I mean, theres meat on there, its rotating, looks cooked, and grills are on, what, is it just for show? Why would you give me meat thats been sitting in the warmer for I dont know how many hours?! They then said, its the same thing, whether its straight from the grill, or reheated from that tin box. Ha, I lived in a dozen countries that sell this stuff, and I have never been served a shawarma/doner/gyro with meat that wasnt freshly cut from the iconic rotating hunk of meat over there. Its in the frigging name, dont insult my intelligence! Same thing? It ended up being salty, dry, and too saucy and oily, yet still quite bland. The saj bread doesnt add anything. For the price, this was a bad meal. I am still looking for a good shawarma in the area, cause this aint it.
Local gem, clean, spacious, delicious food with great portions
Great service and delicious food
The restaurant is beautiful, quiet, and clean. The staff is friendly and the food was delicious, especially the chicken shawarma. I will definitely come back
Such great food! 10/10 would go again, comfort food mixed with light cuisine
Food
This place is located near the corner of 100 & 152 street next door to the circle K. I almost didnt know it was there when I passed by, and it appeared to be not open because of the window shade. Maybe put a sign out front? I ordered the chicken pita wrap, it was loaded and tasty. I would recommend it. There is plenty of parking at the back. I would definitely return.
Nice food, friendly staff
Stopped by for lunch today for the first time. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. Thanks to the lovely person who served us today :)
Great food always fresh and clean 100% I always get my order perfect no missing on it thank you guys
I wanted to expand my taste buds, so I give this place a shot, and boy howdy, It was a Wonderful gamble. I Highly Recommend either the Lamb Wrap or Lamb Gyro Plate. This place has been my Go To, if I ever want Take out. Great Flavor, and Good Value. I tired a few other gyro lamb wrap restaurants, and the dollar per meat has not match up, nor the flavor. On a very rare instinct, the Lamb can be overly fatty, or oily, but this has only happen once to me. 5/5 I Will Recommend. Parking: Shares the Same block with a T&T Grocery Store, so there is plenty of parking.
Rude owner, not a best place to visit
Good food, I like chicken swarma plate.
Nice place to eat
I recently visited Palmyra Mediterranean Grill and had the Arabic shawarma and falafel. Let me tell you, its hands down the best shawarma in Surrey! Both dishes were incredibly tasty. Next time, Im definitely trying their kebba and exploring more of their menu. Highly recommend checking this place out!
Great food, great hospitality and clean restaurant. I will recommend it for anyone who wants to eat Mediterranean food!
Not really recommended
Best falafal ever. Loved it!
Expertly made shawarma arabic. Like back home. Friendly family owns the shop
Have been coming to this place for months now and my experience has been great everytime. The staff is super friendly and the food is really good. I usually have chicken shawarma wrap or plate but recently i tried Aribica wrap and it was awesome. Many thanks to Wafaa for making an amaizing meal.
Saj bread add-on is amazing
Nice establishment and good food. It was normal, not bad, but absolutely not the best either. The price point for what I wanted was also quite higher than what I usually pay. Im a platter guy with rice and fries, half/half. Paying the extra 5 dollars for fries is not worth it I do appreciate the owners commitment to service, as he tried his best to make sure I was satisfied on his part.
Very nice place homy kitchen
Amazing staff, great food. I was here for a birthday lunch with some friends recently and the staff were super helpful, and even brought out a Bluetooth speaker to play happy birthday.
The food here was delicious highly recommend. Not to mention the portions are huge and the cost is great
I tried for the first time and the food was very fresh. Just Love their chicken shawarma platter and their Saj Wrap :)
Falafel is bomb
I love this place! The people are so kind and sweet and the food is amazing. It s so authentic and clean it s the only place I can eat at and wouldnt feel guilty afterward. Absolutely recommend!!
Very delicious shawarma , chicken wrap is my favorite. I am visiting from Dubai and this place was recommended by a friend. Tomorrow I ll be here and will try Falafel sandwich, they told me it is a bomb. The service is excellent and people are so friendly
Perfect the food is great and the people are great service is extremely exceptional.
Good food but not a clean environment. Floors sticky and tables not so clean. Service very slow. No smike on the face. Dont feel welcome. They need to improve on lots of things.
Big portion and delicious food! Friendly staff:) Excellent service! Food
The food is amazing , the customer service with Hasan is so good and he is so understanding , for the Arabic plate from the first time that Hasan did it I did adore it !
The food was very good, and I liked your dealings with customers (Hassan), because you were very cooperative, your style was good, and the way you prepared the meal was nice, encouraging the person to order from the restaurant.
Very friendly staff and food wont disappoint
Nice place to eat Shawarma. Try the new plate Arabic shawarma plate ( Chicken & Beef ) Food
I ordered the falafel plate! Super tasty. Ill be back.
Nice place , tasty food , amazing staff .
Hello . I ate a Shawarma for the first time in my life today from this restaurant. When I entered the restaurant. The atmosphere was very lively and looked very nice and clean. The atmosphere for 5/5. The service was 5/5 also. I came and they greeted me with a nice smile and a hello. We shared hellos and a small conversation with each other. The people at the restaurant were very kind. The food , I cannot rate it because 5/5 stars is not enough for me. Everything about the Chicken Kabob Shawarma was perfect. I would highly recommend eating from this place. I would like to go and sit there and eat food rather than ordering. Vegetarian options: The falafel is also available there with fries. Kid-friendliness: The restaurant people were very kind and it felt a family-friendly place.
Food was super delicious! Had the lamb donair, which came with an ample amount of veggies (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and pickled .. turnips or whatever they were), and garlic sauce. Not to mention the amazing service we had. Hasan helped us, and we were asking about the difference between all the different shawarmas, gyros, and donairs. He was very patient with us and had all the answers, and even let us taste each of the meats before we decided what to order! 100% recommend and would go again!
This is my favourite place for shawarma plates. Amazing food and good portions. Never been disappointed
Expensive
Great place amazing food
Love the Shawarma wraps from this place. I have been getting wraps from this place for last 5 years, one thing i have noticed lately is they dont ask for the preference of veggies, they straight just go ahead and make it, so if you are ordering, let them know ahead when paying at till what veggies and sauces you prefer. But overall, service is great and so as food.
Food is excellent and the service is special! The lady behind the counter (Wafaa) was very nice! Will comeback again!
Our favourite place for Mediterranean food! Everything is so flavorful and delicious, especially the rice and the beef kebab. I always get tabouli salad which is tangy and fresh and their garlic sauce is out of this world! I always come back when I get a craving!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE FALAFEL WRAP!!
Best Falafel in town!
The food is excellent and the service is excellent. I advise everyone to try it Very good food and very nice customer service
Clean place. Economical. Large portions. Lamb was quite salty. Overall, suitable taste. Edit: this time around tried the chicken shawarma wrap. Fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend.
The Falafel was good, but the shawarma plate was old and had no taste.
I had the best Shawerma sandwich today, thank you Wafa I will definitely come back again soon
Best chicken shawerma wraps in lower mainland
Delicious
Went today for Lunch with a group of friends and had a great welcome by Wafa who served us and took our orders. The food was amazing and large portions. We had chicken shawarma and it was so delicious. Great place and great food totally recommend this place. Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, salad
Outstanding food here. Nice people running the place. Very friendly. Big portions too.
Went here to pick up some chicken platters. All was very good. Except the fact that once I finished my platter, I found a hair in it. Other then that it was ok, until the hair came about.
Love the kabob platter, and the hot sauce they have are the best.
Fantastic staff, great food, huge portions would recommend to anyone looking for a good place to eat.
Shawara and rice are excellent however humus and other sauces are not great but not bad either. The pita was also pretty average too. This is budget restaurant but it is well maintained. Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty good
Best shawarma in town
Best Halal food in Guildford
Amazing food, incredible taste and great friendly service all the time
Awesome food! Addicted to their amazing taste!
Really good servings everything was delicious
Im sorry I drove past this place so often without going inside. Wow. The food is great. The people are real. These days, thats a big beautiful difference.
Their Shwerma plate is wow!!! Highly recommended! Vegetarian options: Flafel plate or Pita.
Over 23 Years living in SURREY THIS IS THIS RATES, THE TOP BEST ARABIAN OR MEDITERRANEAN RESTAURANT IT WINS BTW THEY RE SO CLEAN AND BELIVE ME I ONLY SEARCH FOR CLEAN RESTAURANTS I DONT TRUST TO EAT OUTSIDE FROM ANY RESTAURANT
Great quality and delicious food.
In my opinion, shawarma wraps are generally delicious and flavorful due to the use of local spices. However, there is always room for improvement in the preparation and execution of this popular dish.
Best Middle Eastern food around. Having this restaurant replace the old scuba shop was a godsend (probably not so much for local scuba divers though). Ive been eating here ever since they opened because their food is just so flavourful and delicious. Their rice is aromatic and has a hint of cloves in it which is really nice. The chicken shawarma is absolutely delicious and their lamb is fantastic too. That means something coming from me because I usually dont eat lamb. This place is the only exception. My go to order is the lamb and chicken mix shawarma plate. I also always order a side of falafels because their falafels are HANDS DOWN the most delicious falafels I have ever had in my life. I use their falafels as reference for what a good falafel should taste like because no other place Ive been to has come even close to Palmyra. You cant go wrong for 5 falafels for $5. I always make sure to get a piece or two of baklava, as thats another thing they seem to have perfected the art of making. Like their falafels, their baklava also happens to be the best baklava Ive ever tried anywhere. The only complaint I really have is that I dont think the portion of tzatziki that comes with most of their dishes is enough. Thats just a personal preference though. Luckily, staff are often generous enough to give me extra sauce on the side for free when they usually charge for it. I highly recommend Palmyra. This place is an absolute gem Vegetarian options: Falafels, baba ganoush, pitas, salad, baklava, and hummus are all vegetarian Parking: They have a shared parking lot with Circle K. There are only a total of 6 parking spots, but there are plenty more parking spots in the rest of the parking lot in Impact Plaza.
Our go-to place for lentil soup! It is sooo good!! Their wraps and plates are also very good. The chicken is cooked to perfection: tender and well seasonsed. Food
Amazing food!!!!
Great food family friendly. Nice owners
Great food, their freshly baked bread is amazing. Their arabi shawarma is the bomb!
Food is well portioned .. their platters are amazing and well presented with many different flavours !
Ive been enjoying palmyras food for more than 10 years. Tasty food, super clean and best service.
One of the best restaurants and the food was sooo delicious
Very good falafel wrap and chicken wrap in arabi bread. Staff is very friendly and patient.
Got takeout, food is amazing and much much better than other greek places in surrey!! The chicken was soo fresh and juicy unlike other places
The place is beautiful and the food is very good
Love their wraps. And the service is always great
Food
Some mix-ups with our orders, but they tried to make it right, good service. Food was amazing as always. We took out but the restaurant is pretty nice.
Worst service ever! I waited for over five minutes to see if anyone would acknowledge me, I sat while the woman behind the counter saw me and continued doing her work, cutting bread etc. I eventually got up and spoke to and asked her if she saw me and why hadn t she greeted me or served? I proceeded to let her know I would never ever return to the restaurant again due to her poor service and left! I really wanted to taste the food because of all the positive reviews but will probably go to another Mediterranean restaurant in Surrey in the future!
The Arabi Wrap - Saj was very good. The order taker a young guy was very polite and took time to explain the menu for us. The lady that also works in the front (zero eye contact - zero smile even when we were about to leave didn t say a word till we had to say thank you the food was good and goodbye the young guy wasn t there ) I understand that working for long hours can be tiring or you are just not having a good day but greeting customers and making them feel welcome is an essential skill :)
I m in love with their Chicken Shawarma Plate Best in town They make no sacrifice in terms of quantity or quality. Both are top notch and it s so damn delicious that I always finish it up almost immediately
Everytime I come here, I get their gyro platter & it s always delicious. The quality in their meat and rice is pretty decent. I think the salad could be a bit more fresh but overall it isn t so bad. Customer service isn t so bad either but it isn t great. I would recommend a more warm smile from the staff but I also understand maybe they re just really tired?
Delicious chicken salad and beef shawarma wrap ! Appropriate portions for the price. Lovely people.
Love the food , friendly service , best is that they make everything fresh , specially the Saj wrap bread it s so good and the humus ( it s the real deal
I ordered take out for party of 6 tray of kafta kebab platter and the portion was huge! I almost left the tray of rice because I thought I got all of my order. Sara was nice to chase after me and she also gave me free soup to try with my order. It was like Chaana dhaal and it was really good. We have my bro in law and his family visiting and they all enjoyed the food.
Good authentic Lebanese taste,always willing to eat their lamb wraps
Excellent experience good food! Good Jobs to The 3 Chefs
Food and service were very good. Friendly and very clean as well.
Ordered here for the first time and food was really good. I ordered Mixed sharwarma plate, side order of falafel and babaganoush. All delicious. Great portions, reasonable prices, nice staff. I definitely would recommend and I will add this place to my regular rotation :)
Pretty sure I just ate the most delicious Shawarma wrap amazing !
Very good home made pita wrap bread
As a middle eastern, this is average food and not worth the money
This was some great food. Im coming back 100%. Best shawarma Ive had in a long time...good work Palmyra!
Cool place. Sometimes we just go for dips
Great place to find good food and very pleasent atmosphere.
As a family we tried the whole menu through the years and our favourite is 1- Falafel (they make them fresh and crunchy and full of flavour) 2- Chicken Shawerma (the chicken mix grilled has a lot of flavour$ in a wrap ask more for hot sauce if you want more flavour. 3- Shish Taouk and lamb kabab are a favourite of mine. Very lean and not dry. They grill them fresh per order which tastes great eating it on the spot. If you are not dinning in, get a family order all in one catering order so you get them wrapped in tin to keep the authenticity of the cooking. I suggest to dine in or take your sandwich to go. If you make salads at home order things you don t make and enjoy your meal. 4- This isn t least favourite but very tasty lamb Shawerma, best combination will be with onions and our Arabic pickles, garlic sauce, tahini or taziki and a choice of hot sauce or not. Get them to press it on the heat sandwich press and tell me how you like it. Okay guys after all that I am coming
I had falafel at opa and i had to cleanse my palate, so palmyra is that good, especially falafel, my go to place. I always take the platter with their Saj bread.
Went with hungry stomach and was full with delicious meal.. neat, clean place and food was fresh will visit again
Good food but pathetic service and unfriendly staff
Great service! Great food!
Very good food, great service, the morning employee is very good and her treatment is very good with customers
Sickest restaurant sick plan
Best shawarma wraps and platters, really nice flavour and juicy meat, and the wrap with Saji bread is the best and the chicken kebab, really nice. Love this place.
Food is very very good, fresh, homemade, fast, authentic, and really flavour . I come here regularly. Pictured is the chicken plate and lentil soup.
I ordered 3 sandwiches this afternoon (2 chicken shawarma and 1 falafel wrap) and the chicken was burnt and dry. I ordered no sauces on my sandwich and the sandwich was soggy from the amount of sauces they put. The falafel was also soggy and my daughter refused to even try it.
It was my first time trying out this restaurant with a friend today. We ordered chicken and mix platters. Food is tasty, staff is friendly and prices are very reasonable - will definitely be recommending to friends and family.
Great service and plates! Ask for the hot sauce they make in house.
I walked in today to order chicken wrap staff really bad the girl was so lame and arrogant. So I ordered the wrap I said a bit of hot sauce but unfortunately they put a lot of hot sauce. I throw it all couldn t eat it. It was all about hot sauce and veggies tiny bit of chicken and also really dry. It was worthless 15$ :(
Worst restaurant ever I do not recommend anyone totry it
The manager treats the customers badly, and the food is very bad
The worst ever ,the place is very dirty
Great food .. great atmosphere!
Messed up the order
Good to have another Halal place around. The food is of reasonable quality so no complains, portion sizes are below average and cost is overpriced so overall feeling is not so great. The prices would only justify if the quality or portion size is exceptional, which is absolutely not the case. On the scale of cost vs value/experience they fall pretty short in the list compared to other top mediterranean food places in Greater Vancouver area, and hence it is not our number one go-to place, rather a backup option in case we couldnt make it to my favourite place. I am not sure if I can quote other places in the review so look at my other reviews and compare for yourself.
