Palmyra Syrian & Lebanese restaurant

If you like waiting absolutely ages for less than mediocre food and you also like being charged for items you didn't order, then this is the place for you. We arrived at this "cosy" little place at about 2:30pm and were promptly seated and had our orders taken. My son wanted the English breakfast, my wife had lamb mandi and i went for the mixed grill. We also ordered a vanilla shake for my son and 2 cans of coke at £1.50 each! Almost immediately after, the waitress said the breakfast wasn't available and directed us to order the kids chicken burger meal. It came with a drink so she cancelled the milkshake at our request. We specified the burger should have no salad and just a bit of mayo. Over 45 mins later and our drinks now at room temp, my wife's mandi arrives. No sign of my sons burger meal or my mixed grill. These arrived another 10 mins after and instantly I noted the chips had been overdone. I also noticed my sons burger was oozing mayo. I'd have no issue with the wait but the meat pieces were totally unseasoned. The mandi was only slightly better but the burger was not nice at all. Plus they'd used garlic mayo on everything, which you'd expect to have been asked about. The salad garnish was also not nice and had pickled gherkin and carrot pieces. Finally we came to pay and that was a disaster too. I was billed for the original order despite not having had the milkshake or the English breakfast. The waitress then said it would be easier to give me a cash refund as I'd paid by card already, and handed me £4.01p. Clearly lacking basic maths skills she tried to cover her blunder by giving me the £1 she owed me but there was still the charge for the breakfast and not the kids burger meal. I left the difference with them because by that point I'd had enough. So many better places serving similar or the same and getting it right that you could avoid this place and not be missing out. Overpriced, underdelivered. AVOID!

I visited last week with my Syrian friends, our third visit, and it was just as good as we remembered. My friends had shawarma, and I had halloumi wrap. We all had tabbouleh, mine without tomato (I know, I'm weird!) all lovely and fresh. Excellent Syrian food. Highly recommend.

First time for us in this restaurant. It is a rather small one, with simple but nice decor. The music was a bit off (some relaxing stuff) but we've focused on the meals and the company. The menu is comprehensive and I'm sure it's a good start to test out the foods from that part of the world. We went for sea bass with rice and some Arabic chicken shawarma again with rice, a Palmyra milk shake and Palmyra smoothie. All in all all was very nice, we've managed to eat it all but for sure we didn't need dessert afterwards... I recommend this place for those who want to try something different but still a bit familiar, and want to have a full sized dish rather than taster bites.

I ordered 2 mince chicken kebabs with rice and separate fries on uber eats. The kebabs were incredibly dry and were basically inedible. They were very difficult to chew, it was like beef jerky. I'm not sure if they were overcooked or if their recipe isn't right, but the underside of one kebab was quite blackened. There was even some type of sauce brushed along the top but even that wasn't enough to help with the dryness. The flavour wasn't anything to be reckoned with, tbh I've made better at home but on this occasion I was was very busy and had no time to cook so I decided to order. I'm giving two stars not one because the rice was okay, quite heavy on the cinnamon though. And the fries were good, they were fried in the right type fat and they had a nice mild seasoning rub on them. They did give me a mini can of sprite too, so thanks for that. The garlic sauce was amazing, light and fluffy, very garlicky but not the raw burning flavour. And the chilli sauce, spicy with coriander, very nice. Honestly, I'm really confused I don't know how or why this happened on this occasion, because you simply wouldn't be able to survive as a business if you put food out like this on a regular basis, so it's probably a one off but still, it has to be two stars for this review. Furthermore the reviews here are amazing so it was probably just the one off, I'll try again in the future probably, just because of that.

Just been there with a friend who came from overseas, the whole experience from start to finish is great. 10 of 10 for every single aspect of this meal. service is super excellent, food looks marvellous and tastes flavourful, prices are fair for the portion size. In sum, clean delicious and convenient. Will go there again especially to hospitalise people coming from abroad.
