La Palma Middle Eastern Restaurant

What a delightful and delicious lunch! We were in town for a meeting and visited La Palma for lunch. We were warmly greeted and seated in a booth. We started with a plate of hummus and warm bread-so delicious! Oh!! And the garlic butter-WOW!! The service was friendly and attentive, the food came out quickly and every dish was absolutely perfect and delicious! My chicken shawarma was great, the salad and lentil soup were perfect and my wife loved every bite of her chicken kabob. The lamb chili was also delicious. This is a true foodie gem! Highly recommend!!

We had a generally good experience at this Arabic restaurant. The kebab was really good and clearly one of the better items on the menu. The kefta was also good, and the hummus stood out as very well done. We started with fresh bread and garlic sauce, which were excellent, and we appreciated the complimentary baklava at the end. That said, not everything was consistent. The tawook was average, and the shawarma was disappointing. It tasted old and the spices were overly strong, which took away from the dish. Overall, it was not outstanding, but still a decent place with some strong items and some clear weaknesses.

A must visit! First, the customer service is wonderful. The food is excellent. I was in the area and just tried it and had to make another visit with my brother. Lamb Chili and Lamb Galaya.

La Palma has been my go to restaurant for professional and personal sit down, carry out and catering services for many years now. It is located at walking distance from the Wayne State University School of Medicine and the massive Detroit Medical Center hospitals. The food has always been genuinely Mediterranean, fresh and tasty. It offers a wide selection of meat and vegetarian dishes including lentil soup, hummus (served with fire oven baked pita bread), Tabbouleh salad, falafel, shish kabobs to name a few. Love their creamy rice pudding. It now offers a coffee bar. Noticed in the menu today a new listing, “Doctors’ plater”, which serves 10-12 people for a reasonable price ($190). Service is young, attentive and friendly.

Great meal with very friendly staff! Adam was an awesome waiter- extremely attentive and they all worked as a team. The linen tablecloths were a nice touch. The restaurant was clean and portions were generous. Parking on the street with lots nearby.
