Palmyra occupies the long time bicycle shop that used to be on state st. In contrast to the Mediterranean Cafe also on State, Palmyra does not have 'daily specials'. Instead, they offer a fixed menu, but fret not, with over 30 items to choose from, you won't get bored.
Through my visits I have witnessed a steadily fast increase in their business, which has grown to be really good. My guess is that word spreads fast for good eateries =) Hopefully it will keep up. The tables are arranged very far apart from one another, leaving a lot of space in between, too much space, if you ask me. Given the way tables are spaced out now, they could most definitely get more and provide greater spots for dine-in if they decide to expand in the near future.
As a previous review pointed out the waiter taking your orders at the counter will ask you for the number of your order. So even if you pronounce the name 100% correct, they will ask you for the number. Often times I find myself being so certain what I wanted, and then lifting my head to the menu to hunt for the magic number. I am not sure what the reason.
Well the lamb and beef kebabs and schwarma are nice picks. Serving is generously huge, and the meat marinated well and cooked to a light tenderness. The yoghurt sauce that comes with it is refreshing, and the pita bread is served fresh (caution: HOT). Contrary to popular belief, it's a good idea to come here for the chicken wings. This is no typical American food, their wings are freshly fried to order dipped in a special batter consisting of Mediterranean spices. Nothing like what you might have tried in western eateries. Those wings are best eaten in the restaurant where they are crispy. Otherwise the condensed water vapor makes it soggy and there will be a noticeable difference.
For the light eaters out there is the sandwich plates, choice of sandwich served with fries. Or just get their hummus plate that comes with pita. The one thing I would hope to see on their menu is soups. Lentil soups which are usually a classic in Mediterranean restaurants are, sad to say, non-existent here.
Too bad location a little far from campus. It's kind of midway between campus and the square. Otherwise I will find myself stopping by a lot more than I am now.
