Shish Palace

It is an unassuming spot in a strip mall but for a little local spot for some good Mediterranean, I was pleasantly surprised! The garlic sauce is dairy free and wonderful so ready the meal was off to a great start. The service was attentive, our server was knowledgeable about what items had dairy which was very helpful. I felt comfortable ordering and really enjoyed my meal, especially the salad. The restaurant and tables were clean and there were some other dine-in guests but it appears they are a big spot for take out too.

I'm sure the food here is probably quite tasty, however based on my order I'm not 100% sure. The chicken from both dinners were burnt. We gave the chicken to our . The rice was extremely dry. However, we added olive oil to the rice which instantly added moisture.I do not think I will patronize this restaurant again. Based on their prices, I expected a bit more like non-burnt chicken!

Have been dining here for the past 8 years and everything had always been great and delicious. My visit on December 18th, the plate I always order (lemon chicken) very dry, burnt and tasted only if burnt food. The portions have changed, with very little chicken and the price increased to $24 for a rice and one skewer of burnt chicken. I'll never return.

This place used to be good but is now overpriced and constantly underwhelming in quality... when they actually remember to put your food in your carry out.

Great spot for lunch! Food comes out quick, it doesn't always taste the same but it's always yummy. Staff are super friendly and honestly you can't go wrong with a place that's got free bread! Will be back :)

Best middleman eastern food in Rochester area. Service is good and the owner is a great guy. We had them cater our daughter's grad party and they did an amazing job.

I crave Shish Palace at least once a week while I'm in the area- it's just sooo good. The spices and herbs always taste so fresh, and the entrees are served in what feels like family style portions, which means I usually have left overs or a second meal if not sharing it all to start with.One of my favorites is the Zesty Ghallaba with Chicken. Basically a plate of hummus, covered in sautéed and seasoned veggies, topped with spiced and seasoned chicken. You can get it spicy or mild- the zesty is flavorful either way. Plus it comes with their tasty almond rice! To make it even more of a meal to share, I add a fattoosh salad. When dining in, you get complimentary warm pita bread and a rich garlic paste, and it's all just sooo tasty.If I'm just in need of a quick lunch, or a lighter dinner, their wraps are great options if you don't want to share and just need a smaller portion. They have great options for vegans as well. The pita bread, garlic paste, hummus, falafel, fattoosh, tabouli, veggies, baba gahnoosh, vegetarian grape leaves, Mjadara Wrap (lentils), all fit vegan diets. You can have a serious feast and leave fat and happy as a vegan here.The ambiance feels a little like fast food because there are a lot of take out orders and people waiting to leave with their order during busy times, but there are plenty of booths for a more cozy sit down experience and some tables that can hold a group, with decorative scenery and Arabic music. There's usually just one server taking orders, so the pace of dining in is definitely designed for people who want to sit and enjoy their company rather than for those in a hurry- get take out for that.

Had this delivered through Door Dash and it was just as fresh and scrumptious as I had hoped. I'm not really a fan of Mediterranean food but slide me a big, crisp salad with a nice vinaigrette and I'm in heaven. I saw a post for this place and someone included a picture of their Fattoosh Tawook Salad and I immediately knew what I'd be having for lunch today.The salad comes in its own styrofoam, separate from the chicken. Let me tell you now, this chicken is some of the tenderest, juiciest, tastiest that I've ever had. The dressing is bursting with flavor and just compliments it all so well. They also included 3 warmed mini pita's. This is definitely enough for 2 or for multiple meals. Don't second guess; just place that order.

Delicious toum and hot pita served tableside when dining in. Entrees are somewhat pricey but large- certainly two meals worth. Meat portions will vary depending on if you get chicken or lamb, they absolutely load you up with chicken but are a bit more conservative with lamb. Great rice with almond slivers, but their chicken is just okay, nothing exceptional. Overall very solid local place. A bit on the expensive side for the quality of meat you're getting, though.

Above and beyond customer service!!!I ordered the chicken sauté for pick up (my absolute favorite Mediterranean dish in metro-Detroit!) and turns out I sent my order to Shish PALACE in Troy! Instead of making me drive 20 minutes to the other restaurant to pick up my already made food, these guys insist on calling the manager over there to cancel my order and then OFFERED TO MAKE IT for me - completely FREE. This is just unheard of! If I worked there, I would have said, "tough luck, your food is 20 min away!!"Well naturally, I tipped them significantly and they then asked me if they could make my dish into the full blown meal with bread, soup/salad and a side! I just wanted the chicken! My 8 year old daughter was with me and we talked the whole 20 minute drive home about how blown away we were. You just don't get customer service like THAT anywhere. I didn't even deserve it! Lol I will never forget this experience and boy, do they have my loyalty! THANK YOU GUYS!
