Al quds In Palermo

Affordable prices. The mixed appetiser was better compared to all other main dishes. Hated the shawarma kebab. The menu needs an upgrade. The staff were very friendly and polite.

Came here on the suggestion of friends, and had a nice meal. We both enjoyed our antipasti of falafels with different dips (humous and babaganoj). We were both a bit underwhelmed by our mains, I had the vegetable tagine which I was surprised wasn’t served with a side and was lacking in salt and spice for my taste. I would come back though and likely try something else on the menu. It is nice to support a business doing something different in comparison to other restaurants nearby.

Some of the best food we had in Palermo!

Foreword: Not only have I traveled a bit in Arab countries, but I also lived in Turkey for quite a while, so I'm familiar with Middle Eastern flavors and cuisine, and that's exactly what I was looking for. Excellent appetizers; I recommend the hummus, the flavors are spot-on, even the falafel. The Shawarma could have been better, while the Kibbeh sandwich was excellent. The Kataifi dessert was superb; I felt like I was in Turkey again. The service is slow, but the guy is very nice, and honestly, it doesn't matter. In the summer, however, it's really hot inside. The prices are fair. I wanted my Middle Eastern flavors, and I found them. I'm happy with that.

If there's one place in Italy where you can eat this Mediterranean cuisine well, well: this is it.

Great food, friendly staff, especially the owner

Very authentic food, fast and nice service, absolutely recommend

Good food, a friendly, family atmosphere. A metaphor for Palermo's multicultural history.

Affordable prices and generous portions. Both the mixed appetizer and the shawarma platter were good. The dessert was edible but not memorable. Overall, a good alternative to the usual dinners.

Honestly, a great place, highly recommended. The welcome was 10/10, except for one young woman who I think had no business being there; she was unfriendly, and getting a smile out of her was a disaster. Otherwise, everything else was great.
