Shawarma Palace

I travel a lot for work, so I’ve been up and down the east coast. This is the best falafel plate I’ve had in my life. This will now be the place I go to every time I’m in Worcester

One of my favorite places to eat in Worcester! Haven't tried anything yet that I didn't like. Try the beef shawarma wrap or beef shawarma salad (pictured)

Good quantity of food and delicious! Loved that they gave baba ganoush, toom, and hummus. Salad was also delicious

The best falafel in the city. I also love how they lightly grill and press the pita pockets & they ask you the level of spice you want.
Great prices. Super clean.

This place serves fresh, delicious food. We had the veggie plate (choose two from eggplant, grape leaves, felafel) and a felafel wrap. The plate comes with baba gannoush, hummus, pickled turnips, baby cucumber pickles, rice or mujadara, dressed salad. Every item was delicious. Big thumbs up for the white garlic sauce! I wish they were closer to us but we will definitely be back whenever we are in downtown Worcester. You won’t regret it.

We had the spicy chicken shawarma and will be back to try the beef and falafel! Friendly and fast service! The restaurant is spacious and clean with tables for sit-in dining. Get the baklava - a perfect mix of cashew and pistachios without being too sweet.

I’m assuming who was working is the owner, what wonderful people they have in there. It’s the first time coming here as we came for a show at the DCU center the gentleman was so kind to my son, food was wonderful and fresh. When we come back this will be our spot to go.

I had the Mixed Shawafel plate. It was delicious. The flavors were fantastic. The portion size was very generous. The service was outstanding too. Very friendly and nice. We look forward to stopping in and eating here every time we are in the area for a show. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend this place.

My friend Farnaz and I stopped in today with our babies around lunch. What a beautiful, warm restaurant. It was immaculately clean with a bright, refreshing ambiance. I felt immediately relaxed and happy. The food and staff are always great. I’ll be back really soon to try more of the menu!

I have been coming here for years, before they had their larger location. The food is consistently the best shawarma I have ever had.

However, it is has been become VERY busy during the lunch rush. Which is great for this small business! But the service has been a tad slower.

The owner has hired more people, however I have seen him being visibly angry at his employees on multiple occasions. I now try to order in advance on the phone so I don’t have to watch how upset he gets.

You can tell that everyone who works there is under a tremendous amount of pressure. Micromanagement is getting a tad out of hand, and it showing.

My absolute favorite place for shawarma! EVERYTHING is so fresh here! I probably could eat their salads everyday HAHA! If not a salad, I usually get a mixed plate (pictured below). I love their white garlic sauce, baba ganoush, grape leaves, falafels, and a side of hots is a must!

Love supporting local and small businesses, especially Charlie’s :)

SO MUCH FOOD!!!!! This is the "shawafel" combo (beef shawarma and falafel) - although I'm mildly allergic to eggplant so I got extra hummus instead. This is the food of my peoples and it was delicious, the restaurant and restrooms are very clean, and the staff is wonderful and kind. We dined in, and the man behind the counter could tell that I was trying to limit my use of disposable items without me even saying much about it.

He immediately assumed based on our order that we would need at least one take-out container since my daughter likely wouldn't finish her meal (he assumed correctly). He put hers straight into a take-out container, then he went to the back and got me HIS bowl to eat from. Also, as you can see, they gave us so much food that my daughter and I had a second meal of it when we got home.

Fantastic food. Clean, well lit and nice environment. Shawarma is really good and hummus is fresh and delicious. Owner and staff are warm and funny. Definatly a high point of our road trip.

Great beef shawarma. The hummus was very fresh and the rice delicious. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Very clean restaurante, a wonderful place.

The best shawarma place in Massachusetts is not in Boston, but right here in Worcester. The service is fantastic and somehow the food is even better. I look forward to supporting this wonderful place and friendly owner in the future!

This place is a whole experience. The owner is the sweetest, most generous, kind, friendly man! The place is always clean. The food is consistently amazing, fresh, and flavorful. We just had lunch here and not one single item disappointed. They have hands down some of the best humus I’ve ever had, but being someone who has never liked Baba Ghanoush… theirs was delicious. The star may be the shawarma meats, but I could easily rave about every condiment, side dish, appetizer and dessert; fantastic baklava.
We’ve been to the new location a few times, the original before that, every visit was a wonderful experience. Truly can’t say enough great things about them! Would’ve shared a photo, but we were more interested in eating.

Delicious and fresh food with lots of vegetarian options! Menu also clearly labels vegetarian dishes. The staff was very friendly. When we went, they had free samples of baklava and falafel. Interior was clean and there were four tables available. We got wraps, the grape leaves plate, and eggplant plate, which came in generous serving sizes. You can also order falafel as spicy or mild.

Went yesterday for late lunch. Folks were super nice. Place was very clean. It left like we went to dinner at their home. Super sweet and the food was awesome. It reminded me of my tata cooking. We will be back. Thank you!

Great food. Fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced. Loved the shawafel. Everything was so delicious.

One of the best food I have had in Boston and I have tried many place, the falafal are moist and soft the way it should be not hard and dry and same for salads and sides . The people running the place are extra sweet and nice and offered sweet as free tasting :) small place minimum siting but great place for take out
