Palmtree Kitchen in Glasgow City

Very flavourful good and honest people. Highly recommended.

Amazing, tasty food and great service! Definitely coming back.

Had chicken zubariyan, lamb mandi and breakfast items all were top notch.

October 2024 I had breakfast in this Yemeni restaurant. I ordered shakshuka 9/10, omelette 9/10, liver 8/10, beans 7/10, service 9/10, the place is comfortable.

It is less than normal and its quantity is very small

As a student living in Glasgow, I always find myself craving food that reminds me of home, and Palm Tree Kitchen delivers just that! The flavors instantly took me back, and it truly felt like a taste of home. The food is absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend everyone to give this place a try. It smelled so amazing that I couldn’t resist digging in right away, and completely forgot to take any pictures—sorry, but it was just too good to wait!

"I recently visited this Yemeni restaurant, and I have to say, it was a terrible experience. The service was extremely poor, with staff seeming uninterested and inattentive. The food was absolutely disappointing – it tasted stale, and the smell was quite off-putting. It did not taste fresh at all, especially the meat, which was tough and flavorless. It felt like everything had been reheated in a microwave and served cold. I will not be coming back here."

We always have their Kabsa and love it. I asked for something spicy so they made their usual spicy sauce extra spicy for us. It was really good. Their service, food and prices are excellent.

A special restaurant and its food is delicious. I was looking for good dealing and good food I found it here especially that I am coming from London

Yemeni Cuisine serving delicious and authentic food and a quick service.

My experience at this restaurant was far from pleasant. The service was slow and unprofessional, and the staff seemed overwhelmed. The food was a huge letdown – it tasted like it had been sitting out for hours, and the smell was unbearable. The meat was dry and tasted old, and the rest of the dishes seemed reheated and lacked any flavor. This is not what I expected, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh, authentic meal."

Lovely breakfast of eggs and tabbouleh and discovery of adani tea! Delicious ! Very good service from the staff who advised us on likely gluten content - great new experience for visitors to Glasgow

Great Gulf and Yemeni food. Generous quantity for the main dishes. Would definitely go back again.

The price is very expensive and the food is very little. No, it is not worth the price. I will not return to this place again.

Wonderful place, really enjoyed it here

Very delicious restaurant And the prices are affordable The service is very respectful It deserves more than five stars What a delicious mandi and service Deserve more than 5 stars Thank you Marwan

Honestly, the food from the end. We ordered chicken shrimp, molkhiya, and fattoush. The food is second to none, very delicious and clean. The staff are extremely polite and courteous. I will return to it again and recommend it.

You should come in a swimsuit to be able to dive in the food. It's so, so good. The spices, the cooking, the dessert, all amazing. The owner is very nice, very authentic cuisine and decor. A must go. Best fallafel ever, too.

A very beautiful restaurant and the dishes are delicious. We were four people and ordered from them (meat kabsa - meat zorbian - chicken mandi - chicken fassa - lentil soup) + Dallah Arabic coffee and kunafa. Price: 69 pounds. To be honest, the food is very delicious, but what we liked was the meat kabsa. It was very wonderful and it was the best dish we ordered. I took Arabic coffee and kunafa from them, and the coffee was very delicious. Thanks to all those in charge of the restaurant.

Decent food but we have had better mandi elsewhere. Worth trying though especially its authentic yemani food. Service is a little slow. We went around 7:40pm and they ran out of lamb madffun and later found out they also ran out of kunefe.

One of the top Yemeni restaurants in Glasgow that serves fresh traditional Arabic rice dishes. The customer service is great, and the prices are reasonable for Glasgow, although the portion sizes could be bigger. I recommend this place and will definitely return.

We ordered chicken madfoon and kano meat fassa, which were very delicious Excellent cooking, fast service, excellent prices and high ethics May God bless them

This place serves the best authentic Yemeni food in Glasgow with large portions. Don’t miss the Kunafa.

Great food with decent prices in Glasgow. Must Try!

Amazing food and drink in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Friends and I had a variety of dishes and they were all delicious - chicken fahsa and shaksuka were highlights. Amazing mint and lemon drink and fresh-made mango juice! Would highly recommend.

Lamb Mandi was amazing. Quick and friendly service.. Can't wait to go again!

Mashallah, their food is delicious and clean and the service is excellent / Try the meat madfoon 👌🏻 100% Yemeni Arabic food. I have eaten with them more than once..

Honestly, one of the best Yemeni restaurants A clean restaurant, the food is very delicious, the prices are good, and the staff are courteous

Excellent restaurant, advice, look no further I tried delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner

I ordered from Deliveroo and I did not find any sauce, so I tried to call the restaurant to understand about this order. They treated me disrespectfully and spoke to me in a way that I did not find respect in. They must learn respect.

A good, popular and convenient restaurant

A distinguished restaurant, authentic Arabic meals, fast service, and an atmosphere that feels like home, put all the restaurant workers in paradise.

While visiting Glascow in came here twice with my family. Once for breakfast and once for dinner. We tries foul, moqalqal, mandi chicken and mandi meat. We came while the place was full, got served reasonably fast. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The portion size is generous and would easily fill your stomach. It as authentic as it could possibly get away from Yemen! I would return again whenever i need a good dose of Arabic food.

A delicious Yemeni restaurant.. worth a try

I am a Yemeni residing in London. God bears witness that the food has a 100% Yemeni flavor and taste. The service and treatment are exceptional The food is varied and very delicious.. Umm Al-Adeni tea In another novel, Karak is another world

If you go to Glasgow, you must visit the Palm Restaurant

Reminded me of home. Authentic meals. Will be going again.

Absolutely astonishing food and it felt like being in the middle-east again ❤️

The food here is very tasty 😋 🤤. But the best thing here is really the staff and the beautiful atmosphere. There is also a nice large space on the upper floor to sit and eat 🍗

Good restaurant, but it can be better if they give more care about cleaning. However, their toilets were clean, and the food test good.

Their breakfast and dinner are good, the only problem is that you are coming from Saudi Arabia and you are shocked to get beans for 24 riyals. And their floor sittings are elegant 👍🏼

I had my best experience of eating yemini food here, taste was too good , staff was too polite . I must recommend every one to try this

One of the best meals I've had, hands down. Delicious lamb soup to start. I had lamb biryani which was incredible, lamb falling off the bone. Exceptional service. Cant rave enough about this meal.

Amazing food and service - the falafel, hummus and vine leaves are great appetizers. The mandi both in chicken and meat are so tender and cooked to perfection. The okra stew is a must have as a side. My personal favorite is the fried fish with rice. The sahawiq (spicy fresh tomato sauce is very special)

Such an awesome experience! The staff is wonderful and always very kind and the food is always great. The chicken and lamb is always delectable, no matter the method of cooking chosen.

Mashallah, an excellent restaurant. I wish they provided salted bread or tamis, but that's what's missing 😁

A spontaneous late lunch proved a culinary delight here. The lamb was incredibly tender and delicately flavoured rice accompanied, with a hot sauce and yogurt to garnish. Kicked off with a complimentary lamb soup with vine leaves and salad, then the mains arrived swiftly. 'Arabic portions' the waiter had said, and there was ample, no room for dessert, but a complimentary mint tea was enjoyed. Great food, great service, only losing an atmosphere star for the large screen TVs with music, that we are not fans of, but after noticing them, they weren't a bother. Worth a visit in this ever-changing area.

Hassan, known as (Al Qabo), says: The butter restaurant wins

I thank the employee Issam, the utmost professionalism, ethics and taste. The restaurant has delicious and clean food. The atmosphere and Gulf songs open the soul and eat, and the taste is excellent. I recommend visiting the restaurant. I returned to it twice and ate in the restaurant.

Very excellent, I strongly recommend it, Yemeni Gulf par excellence

Amazing service, worm welcoming, and very delicious food. I wish I know this place before.

Delicious food reminds me of home.. so yummy and halal .. with arabic songs and excellent service

10 out 10 food, we where group of 7, we ate like King's 👍 very reasonably priced

Today we went there with my friends and was very good foot testy I like it also my friends like it

Authentic food. You had better pre-book tables and make sure the items are available before going, as many of the items easily get finished by the time you get there. They have a variety of Middle Eastern/Arabian foods. Not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

I recently dined at Palm Tree and indulged in their Lamb Mandi. The dish was a delightful explosion of flavors. The lamb was perfectly cooked, tender, and the portion size was generous, making it a fulfilling dining experience. Palm Tree is a definite go-to for those craving a delicious and satisfying meal.

A bit behind in writing this review but this restaurant was, without doubt, 5/5. The atmosphere was relaxed, the staff were extremely friendly (and lively), the price was reasonable and the set menu was worth every penny. Although I can’t remember the exact names of the dishes (three months ago now), the portions were huge! Everything was just cooked well and what better way is there to enjoy the meal than to watch Premier League Football on the screens! Arabic food at its finest.

A Yemeni restaurant in Glasgow that we passed by chance was beautiful and not crowded, and the brothers there were helpful and friendly. We ordered meat, potatoes, chickpeas, beans, rice, and soggy chicken. All the food was delicious, and the dessert was kunafa, which was very ordinary and needs improvement.

Meal before going to O2 Academy for Gig. Very clean, very friendly staff and some of the best lamb I have had. The portions are huge and beautifully spiced. Not an obvious area of Glasgow to go out for dinner but well worth the detour.

Food smelt amazing as we approached the restaurant. We were greeted with a warm welcome. The restaurant and toilets were clean. The menu was varied and authentic. Great value for money. Would visit again.

Yemeni restaurant in Glasgow For Arabic food I tried their meat mandi and I give it 8/10 I tried chicken kabsa and gave it 10/10 I tried masoub and it was delicious The staff were professional, especially Brother Jawad, a cheerful person with high morals In general, the restaurant is nice for those who want Arabic food

The food is normal. I ordered chicken kabsa and meat fassa They were late in bringing the order Its prices are cheap

Really good food and the restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful to all the needs of our group.

The reception was very good and the service was excellent. 👌 However, the portions of meat 🍖 are extremely small compared to other restaurants nearby. 😞 Additionally, all the chicken dishes 🍗 have the same seasoning, with no variation in flavor. 😒 The soup 🥣 is overwhelmingly spiced and lacks any real meat flavor. The molokhia 🍲 was also a letdown. 😕 Unfortunately, despite the good reception and service, the restaurant was still a disappointment overall. 👎

Delicious food, super friendly staff and quick service even in a busy day like Eid. Biryani and fahsa are highly recommended!

One of the best restaurants in the United Kingdom. I visited it more than once, without any compliments at all. Their meat is something luxurious + the mandi is excellent. The restaurant beautifies you in short.

The restaurant is in a central area of town, and it wasn't crowded when we visited. We ordered two dishes, which were more than enough for the two of us. We had prawn curry and kabsa. The prices were very affordable. The prawn curry was an 8.5/10, with a generous portion, while the kabsa, served with a full boiled and fried chicken, was also good, about a 7/10. Overall, it's a decent place to eat at a reasonable price. The staff was very friendly. We finished our meal with a refreshing mint tea. I'd say it's worth a try. The ambiance was nice, and they have plenty of space for a big crowd.

It is worth a try. God bless them. I took a kunafa meat kebab for you. They need to improve it

The location is very bad The meat is frozen and not fruch

I recommend Zarban and Kabsa. meat . Very excellent restaurant and delicious food. There is an Arabic session at the top for young people and tables for everyone at the bottom. It's a simple thing. The order takes a while to prepare.

I’m no expert in Yemen cuisine but the food was very delicious. Humble and peaceful restaurant with friendly staff. Good sized portions at decent prices. My personal favourite was the okra with meat that came with bread. But all the dishes were very tasty. Bring cash cuz it’s cash only.

Most authentic Yemeni restaurant with excellent service and amazing environment! We tried the mixed appetiser which had mutabal (its an aubergine dip, I really like this, it goes really well with flatbread they serve at the side), hummus (great hummus too), sambosa and stuffed grape leaves. On a side note, my friend and I really enjoyed the olive oil on the food, don’t know why but it’s really good olive oil. For mains, I had the lamb Mandi, it’s a huge portion with big pieces of lamb. The lamb is super tender literally falls apart, the rice is really nice too has spices flavoured to it. Its really good I kept eating more, I recommend this dish! The saltah with tuna is packed with flavour. It had a mix of spices and vegetables in it. I really recommend this if you like tuna, it goes perfect with flatbread. For dessert, the Kunafa is amazing, it tastes like layers of soft, sweet, and cheesy goodness all wrapped up in a crispy, golden crust. It's like nothing we’ve ever tasted before. The Turkish coffee here is good very strong. I also tried Ayran/ Laban for the first time, it’s has a tangy salty taste like yogurt, it’s so interesting, such a a unique flavour. My favourite has to be the Adani tea with milk, it is so good, sweet with spices, also another flavourful I’ve never tried before, I’d have this everyday, 10/10. We got complimentary soup as well it’s really good, with curry flavour. Also got complimentary tea with mint after we finished our food. The decorations and atmosphere is amazing, with a middle eastern flare to it. They have plenty of seatings and the menu has a great variety. Prices are very reasonable and portions are huge. Food is served quickly too. We will definitively be back. Amazing service from Esem, he’s super friendly and welcoming, very attentive, he made our experience here outstanding! Highly recommend this place if you want to try authentic Yemeni/ Gulf food 😊

Brother, a restaurant to be thanked for, I sincerely congratulate them on their respectable work I ordered a meat mandi. If there were 10 stars, I would have given them, I swear, the food is delicious and I don’t regret it. Honestly, the employee Issam is very respectful and ethical, and there is a second person who is brown and also a good person.

Good place for authentic Mandi lovers in Glasgow.

I tried lamb mandi and the rice quality was poor not even cooked properly,the beef wasn’t tender and customer service was really poor.

Went here with some friends after the gym last nigh to get protein for the gains. Food was fresh and immaculately cooked, meat fell straight off the bones with the lightest touch. Never tried food from Yemen before but I was really happy with it. Not to mention we were given some soup on the house before our meal. The place was spotless too, really clean. To round it off the food was priced really well, fed all three of us for just under 35 pound! Get yourself along here for a great tasting cheap meal with fantastic service!

Fully halal restaurant with good portion sizes and a variety of tasty food. Service was friendly and quick. Lots of places to sit and chicken soup given for free as a starter. Very clean toilets and beautiful islamic decor.

Good atmosphere Wanted to eat Arabic food It was exceptional and taste as expected. Tea was minty and so refreshing. Prices are pocket friendly. Enjoyed every bite

What a great savory dish of lamb in a very hot hotpot we got served. So full of flavour, Ottolenghi would be surprised! Als the milk & mango drink was good. Go here!

Amazing Arabic food you should try

He didn't allow us to use the table next to the window he's excuse was it's only for group of people whilst we where 2, 5 mins later the 2 tables had only 2 people sat in.

I really enjoyed coming here for dinner, staff were friendly and the food was absolutely delicious! Big portion sizes for the price

Delicious food amazing staff very helpful. I will visit again.

The kebdah is delicious and other dishes are ok. The service is 👍🏻

I came here with no expectations and it was simply amazing! The chicken was tender and delicious, and the crisp, sweet baklava was a perfect end to the meal. Highly recommended!

Amazing, flavourful, and perfect portion that makes you feel light and yet satisfying. I would definitely come back whenever I'm around.

Loved the food and the service was 10/10 definitely recommend it

The restaurant is delicious, honestly, and I thank the accountant, Brother Ibrahim, a very polite and respectful young man, understanding, friendly and very kind to the customers. The prices are within everyone’s reach.. 👍🏻

Very authentic atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. Feels like being in a middle east country.

Honestly best Yemeni food I tasted in the UK. Lamp and Chicken Mandi were on point !

Great service and incredible food. The portions are huge. Will be back!

Another great find….tasty Arabic food, with a welcoming, relaxing ambience and very friendly staff… try their Yemeni dishes !!! My go to restaurant in Glasgow knowing well Glasgow do offer a fantastic, independent and international food scene

We ate here about 3 weeks, the choice of food was limited due to Ramadan but it was all delicious, interesting and good prices. The atmosphere was relaxed and informal. Looking forward to returning for the full menu. Highly recommend!

Food here is just fantastic. I’ve been here twice and travelled from Edinburgh. You really will be hard pressed to find a better Mandi in UK. The meat is melt in the mouth as it should be with traditional Arab rice dishes. Atmosphere is relaxed and calm and service is always on point. Really reasonably price for the quality and flavour of the food. Trust me you will not be disappointed

Food was really good and tasty and good portion as well.

Lovely Staff tasty food. Must try mint drink and lamb mandi.

Best Arabian food in Glasgow... Have a try👍🏻👍🏽👍🏽.

Visited today. Really tasty and freshly prepared food 👍🏻. Very kind staff and generous portion of food 🥘 served.

It is a good value for money; however, we visited around 8 p.m. and most of the dishes are not available. We have been told that they offered free soup earlier in the day, but that was already finished, i would appreciate it if they offered us a free tea or any other thing as a substitute, Also, the sweet portions are way too small and expensive for the taste, as they weren't as excellent for the price. Overall, I will visit it again !!

Fantastic experience at lunch today, polite staff, quick service, delicious food and excellent value for money! I had the chicken mandi and a tea will mint, really delicious. The broth is great too! The only mistake was mine as I wanted to leave a bigger tip! Will be back.
