Best Maltese Restaurant Ann Arbor Near Me

Blake Horn: The food is wonderful..really top notch...but the main reason we drive here rather than places closer to us is Hoda. She is such a wonderful, courteous, and tough lady(MAKE SURE YOU DONT WASTE FOOD!) that we genuinely enjoy coming just for our experiences with her. We have little ones and she is great with them. I swear if those food serving robots force her to leave we wouldn't be back on principle alone. The human experience here is unmatched elsewhere and pairing that with the awesome food...Palm Palace on Carpenter is the best offering for Mediterranean around!

jeannie ansel: This is our favorite Mediterranean restaurant. Order the chicken shawarma with roasted vegetables-amazing— the warm pita bread and garlic- so good. We hope you get Hoda as your server-she is the best!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Riley Berens: This restaurant is very clean, our kids are into all of their decor and I never saw dust or stains. The food is good, they even have a kids menu that's not on the website.Kid-friendliness: For years we never went to this restaurant because we didn't think they had a kids Menu. I can't remember all the options but our kids are chicken strips, with rice and a blended lemonade and Mac and cheese with potato wedges and a Mango and strawberry smoothie.Parking: Lots of Parking available

Roberto Velázquez: Muy buen restaurante, con buenos alimentos típicos del mediterráneo, a precios accesibles

Chris Rosenau: An absolute gem. The food is absolutely fantastic, yet still affordable. Between the unique architecture, and elaborate decor, the atmosphere is also very pleasant.My hostess was Hoda, who was very attentive and prompt.

csmit34: Hoda was a great waitress and the food was delicious. First time here and will be returning.

J H: I have been coming to Palm Palace for a number of years, and I have had nothing but excellent experiences. The food is delicious, and Hoda, our regular server is truly exceptional!

NZ S: Poor service. Had to wait about half an hour to be seated, though most tables were empty. Food was luke warm at best.

Kelly Michaels: Last 3 times I have requested Extra CHAR Grilled onions with my Lamb Kabob. Last 3 times I barely got ANY onions. I always TIP. SO. The moral of the story IS don't tip. And don't add a NOTE. because NOBODY reads them. Lesson Learned. Thanks for saving me money ; )Food: 3/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 3/5Recommended dishes Beef Kabob …More

Pamela Bennett: We went in to have dinner for our second time on Sunday 8-21. We got Hoda as our server again. Very cheerful and efficient with fulfilling all of our service needs. The food is unbelievably delicious! The Coconut Shrimp Appetizer..scrumptious! The Moroccan Soup has a spicy, hearty vegetable goodness! The Shish Combo Shareable is enough deliciousness for a family of four. Needless to say that bread is warm and habitually delicious! I’m hooked! See you soon Hoda!😋Went back repeatedly for takeout and good packaging, hot and fresh when you get it home.Last night 5-24 got Hoda again for Dine In. She remembered US and we shared in another Great Dinner experience! Nice atmosphere and enjoyed the robot delivery..soo cute!😉

E J: The palace itself, the food and most notably our server Hoda, made this one of the most memorable and enjoyable meals of my life. The flavors of Lebanon brought me back to my childhood, the grape leaves were perfect. The chicken shawarma phenomenal. Ask to be seated in Hoda’s section. You’ll feel like you’re at your aunt’s house getting stuffed as plate after plate of delicious food is brought to you. Amazing 10/10

Amy Chang: Tapas were delicious, paella was slightly too salty! Would recommend!!

Nestor Gonzalez: Service was excellent. Our server Angel went above and beyond and was able to keep up with our large group. Food was ok. I had their Wagyu Flat Iron and it wasn't what I expected. A little bland and the medium-rare was more of a medium/medium-plus. I will say the desserts were excellent. I split a Torte Santiago and Tiramisu and both exceeded expectation... the mousse was just ok. Note that the tiramisu and mousse were both served in cups which kind of takes away from the experience.

a c: Just fantastic from the manager, to the waitress, to the menu. A very graduation night and still our space was quiet, private, and light filled. Our dishes were beautifully plated and delicious. We will be eating there at least monthly. Moreover the parking is incredibly easy.2nd dinner this month. Quiet from the downtown storm.Chef Patrick Bush made an incredible Wagyu flat iron that presented like a piece of art and the whole dish was just wonderful. As before, great, not intrusive waitress and the bar tender surpassed himself. The manager Kostantine goes out of his way to reserve the best table for you and b.t.w. actually remembers who you are. Outoor seating as it has been for years is wonderful for a drink/lunch or dinner.Parking: easy breezy.

Rene Lynn: Was very enjoyable, great service and the food was even better at home, flavors melded... But the one thing I like about any Mediterranean is the garlic bread cooked in the pizza oven served warm with garlic butter, they didnt have that but they did have really great bread with a whipped dip but it was made of potatoes and 4 or 5 other ingredients but not compared to the garlic butter 😔, but it was very good and I shall also return... No room for dessert☺️

Kylie Arsenault: My fellow dietetic masters degree candidates & I came here for dinner & each ordered something different! we all had a lovely evening & enjoyed our food. I got the village salad & the gnocchi with salmon added. the atmosphere was perfect for a nice dinner event, or mayhaps, a date 3Vegetarian options: salads, pastas, apps more

Rita Vonderheide: Kira our waitress was wonderful!!

Amy Watkins-Gross: Beautiful place, very good food however service was not good and meal took way too long with only 3 tables in the restaurant ( we had hummus app, salads grilled shrimp) got our food after 1 hr . There was an event going on in their banquet room so probably more focus on that. However good part is that we loved hearing the cooks in the kitchen and their laughter it made us smile .

Nishu Aggarwal: We booked this place a week in advance for graduation night. We could only get a reservation for 8:15 p.m. as all the slots were taken. Then we were informed that if we canceled any time after the 72 hour mark, we would be charged $25 per person - we were a table of 10. Graduation day came, we turned up!Great ambiance. Nice host. Things were looking good. Then we get seated at the table. Our server comes to get the drinks and appies order. While taking the order we are curtly informed the kitchen would soon close and therefore we had better be ready with our dinner options. That came as a little surprise, especially as we were not able to get an earlier spot.The server comes back for the main order. They had run out of the lamb, pork, and chicken - we were all forced to settle for the risotto, and our vegetarian had the cauliflower gnocchi and the other one had fettucine alfredo.The appies come - very small portions. Delicious, but small portions. We asked for the bread - it was going to cost us an extra $3 per basket. We asked for 2. The bread was nice and hot, so we wanted more. No server available, so we asked another server (not ours - which we probably should not have done) to get us more bread. It came - eventually.The main meal was good. The food was delicious. Wish I got the lamb that I had really wanted. Or the pork.Then comes desert. We placed the order and requested 3 coffees. The coffees came without creamer or sugar. The server walked away. Waited - until one of us decided to go to the kitchen and request the creamer.Desert arrived. The tiramisu was frozen. NO melt in the mouth experience. Flavors were alright. but frozen. The chocolate mousse was alright.The food was good. The service was pretty bad. Not what I wanted for graduation night. Limited choices and a curt disinterested server, for a booking made a week in advance! Did not want to ruin the night for our 2 graduates, so did not kick up too big a fuss while there, but.....

Boqi Tian: The food is ok. But the waitress Jamie kept us waiting for a long long time. We didn’t see her around when we needed her. The restaurant was clearly not busy at that time. I would have tipped her 10% if the tip was not set as 18%.

Echo: We were here to celebrate our birthday. We made a reservation a month ahead, but we were never told that it would be graduation week and they wouldn't serve paella and other dinner dishes. The waitress made us wait for more than 15 minutes before we could even start ordering. We eventually decided to leave and probably won't come back. It's really frustrating that the restaurant ruined my birthday night.

Madeline Van Remmen: This was my first time at the restaurant and I have a gluten allergy. They were very accommodating with a lot of options on the menu. I ordered the Brussel sprouts and salmon and it was ver good. Thank you for the great experience!

Burt Zhou: Food is delicious, server is friendly and knowledgable. Everything is good about this place. 2023-04-22

G Argentini: Very flavorful food with abundant portions. The staff was nice and attentive and the food arrived very quickly. The brussel sprouts appetizer was great and will easily feed 3 or 4 people. The entree was great, the chicken was cooked well and the couscous had lots of flavor.Recommended dishes Crispy Brussels Sprouts …More
