Our Culinary Philosophy

The Mediterranean diet is renowned worldwide not only for its delicious flavors but also for its health benefits and emphasis on fresh, quality ingredients. At The Palms, we embrace this tradition by preparing our dishes with:

• Locally sourced ingredients whenever possible
• Authentic recipes passed down through generations
• House-made specialties including our signature hummus, baba ghanoush, and tabouli
• Traditional cooking methods that preserve authentic flavors
• A balance of bold spices and delicate herbs

Our menu features beloved classics from across the Mediterranean region, from our perfectly grilled kebabs and tender lamb chops to our fresh Greek salads and handcrafted falafel. Each dish represents our dedication to authenticity and quality, ensuring that every bite offers a genuine taste of Mediterranean tradition.
