We were thrilled with our whole experience at The Palm Tree today! The atmosphere is very inviting, nice and open, not cramped or cluttered. The service was spot-on, greeted immediately, and very friendly service, not at all overbearing or pushy. The food...oh, the food... Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. All the dishes are cooked by the owner's mom (she may also be an owner, I'm not sure). All the recipes are her own, and everything tastes fresh and fantastic. I can not wait to be able to eat there again next time I am in Riverside. The Palm Tree is a definite "must try", you won't be disappointed!

First time eating here and hopefully many to come. Its a nice small little Mediterranean eatery within a smallish gas station area but do not let that fool you. This place is nice and spacious, clean, orderly. The food comes out quickly and its all fresh and hot and tasty! I got the Mixed Grill Kebab with rice and salad, chicken ground beef, and beef. Food was solid as hell and tasty along with delicious Hummus. I wholeheartedly think its worthwhile to go here and to bring the family.

First time eating at the palmtree restaurant and am very impressed! My experience in Mediterranean food is limited to the usual hummus and kebab but this is one of the best places I have had. The family that runs it and puts their passion into the food is well represented in how delicious everything was. I highly recommend the Iraqi tea also.

I live in a different state and wanted to send some meals to guests who recently arrived in the U.S. I placed the order online based on the reviews of the restaurant on DoorDash, and indeed, the food was delicious and arrived at the scheduled time as guests informed me. Thank you, Chef Um Haroun! 🙏🙏 Wishing you continued success and all the best.

The ambiance was good, but the food quality was not good. All of us got diarrhea as soon as we finished eating. This was the first time we went there. The pita breads were sticky and hard to swallow. The quantity of food does not match the price. Rest, the presentation was good, but I will definitely not be able to go in there again.
