Food was good!!! Set up was unique during the weekend as they had buffet also available. The only thing was they don't provide water, so bring your own.

I found this place searching for someone to cater an event and found it online by chance. I went there to try before I hired them for the event and was so pleasantly surprised. Great food!!! The meats were all cooked great and had so much flavor. The salads were all wonderful. I would definitely recommend to anyone who love Mediterranean food. The event went great and they met all our expectations. AWSOME people very good service and again the food is so good!!!And to boot you would be supporting a small businesses!

We had Masguf for Iftar today, it was so good! Friendly professional staff. Great customer service. We enjoyed being there and we will be back again. I recommend this restaurant to people who like Middle Eastern food.

One of the best Mediterranean food I had. The food is very tasty. Baba Ghanoush is very good. All home made by the mother.The staff, it’s a family are very friendly and welcoming. They taught me how to make their delicious Iraki tea. They sell it there.We were stuck in traffic and decided to stop for food. I saw that place on google and tried it. We were pleasantly surprised.If you need a break during traffic, try it!

Tried this place for lunch - tried a 3 team combo which was 3 lamb chops (thin) 4 pieces of chicken and half of skewer of beef. Price was $28 - I can’t honestly say it was worth that price.Maybe it’s better to eat there but the food was 2-star food - 5-star price.

I heard about this place in a passing conversation, so figured I'd check it out. Superb. The baba ghanoush was delicious and the kebabs were awesome. It's clearly an immigrant-run place, and I mention that not to judge anybody about that, but to celebrate that. The Palm Tree is a great example of why America is awesome: no matter who you are or why you're here, you brought your food and set a table, and we're all blessed by that. Thanks, Palm Tree! I'll be back.

We got the Mixed Grill Kabob Plate and 5 cold sides (2x tabouleh, baba ganoush, lebne, fattoush) to share between my wife, 2 kids and myself. Everything was excellent and enough food to satisfy us for dinner.The kabob plate came with chicken, ground beef and steak all juice, nicely charred, and flavorful. Rice, hummus and a small salad was included. The cold sides came with 4 pita.The atmosphere is what you would expect of a small mom and pop restaurant. We came here for the food so we left very satisfied.

We ordered ahead as we were on the road from Lake Arrowhead to Long Beach. So glad we did! The restaurant is welcoming. The staff were so nice we decided to order some delicious desserts with our to go order.The food was excellent, even on a rainy Monday night late in the day. We were so tired and grateful for the tasty chicken shawarma wraps. The combination of ingredients were perfectly balanced. We appreciated the thin style of wrap too, not too much bread to distract from the chicken and veg inside. The veggie combo platter was very good too with surprising little spicy picked onions. Live them! The baba ghanoush was I think the best one I’ve ever had anywhere, less creamy but than many mediterranean restaurants and more chunky with lovely spices. Very nice thin pita bread too. We will be back for a sit down meal next time! Thank you.
