Palms Mediterranean opens where an Indian eatery was. the seating infrastructure remains basically the same the past few businesses.

i entered. seeing only an older gentleman at the counter. the place had no decor, no ambience still being renovated.

the following dialogs ensued. not exact words, a gist

me: "do you have dine in?"
him: "we don't have Chinese food"
me: "i mean, is there eating in?"
him: "what do you want?"
me: "Chicken plate"
him: "do you want it to go or eat here?"
me: "here"

later
him: "what do you want to drink?"
me: "water"
he brings cup of ice and bottle of distilled water
me: "are you charging me for this water?"
him: implies yes
me: "i'm not paying for bottled water"

he takes it away, brings a pitcher full of water with ice cubes.
me: "are you bringing me Chicken Shawarma Plate?"
him: "BBQ Chicken with rice"
me thinking: huh? how can the order get screwed up? didn't say anything. waited to see what happens. heard noises in kitchen before. sounds like he's prepping the order in the kitchen too.

offerings: Mediterranean: primarily Iranian & Turkish (appetizers, kabobs, seafood, vegetarian, dessert), hamburger, pizza, italian, gyro, tacos, nachos, fries

eats: Chicken Barreh (23) Iranian version of Kabob grilled over charcoal with meat on a skewer with a side of salad.
chicken pieces previously marinated with yogurt?, spices. literally melt in one's mouth, very tender. no accompanying dip. didn't need it. chicken definitely fresh, not frozen, very juicy.
*tastes vastly better than the usual Afghan chicken kebab which has a green dipping sauce.
-yummy roasted tomato.
-a big plateful of tasty, fluffy. fresh basmatic rice
-lettuce salad with creamy white sauce, tomatos, olives, white/red onio-fresh, deliz...

take outs:
-menu in house slightly different from one posted online/at door. both don't state what each entrees has. i.e. some kabobs have salad. also doesn't mention Med. food is Iranian. dish name posted with no explaining.
*menu needs to identify what comes with entree.
-usual service protocols not utilized. could have lead to misunderstandings.
-their big events are on weekends during big social gatherings with hundreds of people....weekdays are small change for them.
*4.5 stars food is great. servicing/ordering awkward. glad it turned out well. more transparency needed so misunderstandings don't occur.

7/19/2022t could wait! It's already 8 o'clock "why the food isn't ready hours before that?" Didn't allow the pizza to be taken out to kids also. While serving slowly we needed food out fast & servers were yelling at the whole family who ever wanted to help to get the line moving. Passing at least less than 100 guest they run out of food just taking out 1 pan each every 30
Mins. How 300 guest order beres

The kabob are tender and well spiced, rice is fine and balanced. truly takes your taste buds to the Middle East

We stopped in just after them opening the doors and the food was so good. I could tell there was a lot of love put in the food because it was not your typical Mediterranean cuisine.

My husband also had the Philly but I didn't get a picture of it.
They add their own touch to it with a little bit of a bite.
Oh and the bachlava is gooey and great!
