ALSham Palace - Mediterranean restaurant in Tampa - 19651 Bruce B Downs Blvd, USA

I was amazed by the food quality which is beyond expectations. Service is excellent. Price wise is within budget. It have wide variety of mix grills meat and chicken. Kunafa is one of the best in Florida. Over all 5/5 starts.

Serves Fetteh, one of the most underrated best foods known to man. Everyone I’ve got to come try it loves it. Extremely affordable, filling, and delicious. Mixed grill, shish kabob, falafel, and mint lemonade also phenomenal here. Have been dozens of times and never disappoints. Top 5 best places in Tampa.

ALSham Palace is a palace perhaps metaphorically speaking, as there are beautiful tiles on the floors and lovely decorated false windows everywhere. What it truly is, is a place you can come to get great food. I think rice is a staple in a venue such as this, and there was no disappointment. The beef and chicken dinner options were top notch. The hummus was fresh. Perhaps the bread that came along with dinner was a bit chewier than I expected, but it was still really good. Staff was friendly enough. I'd come back if I were in the area again.

The chicken shawarma and the shish kabob sandwich were decent (in my opinion, they aren't as authentic, but they're still good). The fries are really nice and crispy. The kafta with the hot rice is great and the veggie grape leaves are delicious and lemon-y! We were the only ones dining here on a Wednesday early evening. The service was obviously quick. My brothers enjoyed their minted lemonade drink. I would recommend dining here - we will be back!

Ordered the mixed grill and gyro. Both were very delicious and fantastic. Everything was seasoned well, although the chicken kabob was a little dry. Very spacious and clean.

Great Mediterranean food. They give you a lot. The only knock I have against this place is that the water is always warm. No ice. But the food tastes great and you get a lot for that you pay. Family owned business, owners are very nice and their kids are usually working in the evening. I would start off with the Mixed Grill any 4 so you can try all the meats.

Al-Sham Palace is a true piece of the Middle East in Tampa. Calm ambient with smooth Arab sound in the background and pictures on the wall that will give you a bit of the overview of one of the oldest civilizations on earth. And of course, the food... excellence in taste even to the simplest dish. Great variety of dishes cooked to perfection (nothing either over nor undercooked). The selection of spices (also gently applied even in the French fries) give you the taste that will make you wonder whether you’re in the US or somewhere in the Middle East. Absolutely worth to pay a visit and get out of the ordinary for a bit of a taste that, in many cases, was the foundation of the western cuisine today. Enjoy your breakfast or lunch or dinner or just a simple stop by for a good old fashioned turkey coffee with middle easterners delicacies. You won’t regret. And by the way, excellent prices too! Don’t know the owner, nor got paid to write this review. Just like to share my candid opinion free of bias to those, like me, who look for other experiences to get a sense of minimum to expect. Thank you!

We really love this place - the food is incredible, the servers are attentive and nice. However ....every time we go without fail....there is hair in the tabbouleh. Please have your staff wear hair nets so we can come back!! We are taking a break for now...
