Two stars only because of the parking issue. The performances are the only best part and the service is slow. They require you to pay to park in their parking lot. You read that right. Pay. To park. In Upland. And not even downtown. There are plenty of free parking lots within reasonable walking distance. The staff warned us that we would be towed away but if you look closely at these other lots there are NO signs stating such and surprise we were not towed. Don't fall for it. read more

Where do I start ,mandatory valet I don't like anyone drive my car, ordered hot tea they didn't have mint , and I reordered more tea they just added hot water to they old tea bags had to ask them for a new one and all he did is add another bag of tea to they old ones . hookah over priced , chicken sucked , the best part they add 18 percent gratuity to your bill on any size party lol then have the nerve to leave a blank space for a tip almost got me $350 for 4 people OVERPRICED ill never go back there read more

The employees were awesome and always gave me what I asked for! Must try this place out I guarantee you will love this restaurant! They will definitely see me again! read more

The Palace Lounge - Saturday nights are poppin! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Upland, California

See all

Hands down the food is amazingly tasty and prices are reasonable. However when there's only four tables in the restaurant and you have to wait over 35 minutes for a hookah and over 45 minutes for food and your waitress doesn't come back once for the offering of another beverage on a Friday night it's pretty pathetic I'd rather spend my money somewhere else.... at the end of the day I can't say anything about the hooka it was absolutely fabulous read more

First time here for a pre Mother's Day celebration, loved it! The atmosphere was electric and food and drinks were excellent! My wife and I enjoyed a night filled with live music and dancing.... we will return for more for sure! read more

I was there last Saturday and I enjoyed the singer and the belly dancers. Great mediterranean food and brilliant customer service. This place has Reasonable prices and I highly recommend every one to go there. read more

This place is pretty cool. Live arabic music on one side with hookah etc. And salsa room on the other side. The best server by far is a girl named Diala. She was on top of keeping our drinks refilled and very attentive. Most of the time if we can't get her..our service is pretty slow. There is no cover charge to enter and so the prices for food is a bit pricey. However, don't let that deter you. My niece and I love just kicking back and listening to the live music. I think the owner could make a few changes like making sure his servers are attentive to the customers...AND that there is a hostess always present to seat and direct guests. I will also say they are very generous on the mixed drinks..worth every penny. They also have belly dancers..not the best I've seen..but fun to watch. Overall..if your looking to just kick back smoke some hookah and just hang out..it's definitely the place for you. read more

Good place ,good food awesome service ,,,,lovely hooka

If you like Mediterranean food or hookah then I highly recommend The Palace Lounge!! I like to go during the week, It doesn't get too busy so it's nice and peaceful! You won't have to talk over loud music and you won't leave with a headache! I absolutely adore the food and the prices are great! Try the chicken kabob entrée or the hummus with meat! I've been to plenty of similar places in the area and this is by far the best experience. The owner Gazzi is such a great host, I've seen him walk up to every table to make sure everyone is satisfied. The whole staff is incredibly nice as well, I seriously I have no complaints about this place. Xoxo read more

The only reason I gave it a 4/5 was because the waiter didn't really pay attention and he seemed like he didn't care, I had to ask for my water instead if him asking me if I wanted anything to drink but it was ONLY this employee, we talked to three others and they were the coolest group of guys ever!! Super friendly and they even asked to take a picture of my friend and I who were celebrating my birthday! :) other than that, the food was ridiculously delicious!! I had the beef kebab....lemme tell you...the most amazing Mediterranean food I've everrrrr had! Every single thing on my plate was yummy! The price is extremely reasonable too!! Definetly coming here a lot more often!! :) read more

Amazing food and staff and atmosphere love this place always delivers the best service and I enjoy going there

Probably one of the most hospitable places I have ever been. The Huka was amazingly smooth, I was checked on very regularly and I could not have been more impressed. They have a full bar and countless flavor options for Huka. If you haven't tried this place do yourself a favor and try it. read more

I am just too generous to give it one star. We went there on Sat. night, we were 4 people and ordered Mezza which was not enough for more than two people we ended up paying $200 dollar for Mazza only not dinner were involved. The service was good. Not Recommended. They steal your money obviously. read more

I hope the owner read this. Do not go to this place. The valet people had stolen my apple watch from my car. I was very civil about it and I did not press any charges, instead I contacted the manager to let him know so he can get the watch back. He did not offer any help and he ignored my phone calls. I trusted you with my car and you robbed me. What kind of service is this!? read more

My favorite go to place for great food and hookah! So relaxing and fun. If you haven't gone you should definitely try oy

The Palace Lounge - Middle Eastern Near Me - Upland, California

I went here with my Arabic class to end our field trip with a true Middle Eastern cultural experience. The music was great for practicing dabke that we learned in class, and food was amazing. We pre-ordered our food and the owner went out of his way for the vegetarians and made sure we had fresh hot falafel. All of the employees were very hospitable and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was super welcoming and lively, a perfect way to end the day learning about Arab culture! read more

The palace the best mediterranean food and night out in the IE Good prices and delicious food really good customer service I love this place read more

First of all the sign outside says Menara Moroccan Grill and NOT The Palace, so you'll be driving around trying to find. I called to double check if it was the same place, the guy told me "Why you asking", off to a good start! Food was decent and service was very very bad. We were sat in a corner because we weren't middle eastern and same happened with other people that came in to the restaurant. We sat down for 20 min before anyone even came and asked, we had to go up and ask for someone ourselves. They took a very long time to check on our food and everything to make sure it was ok. When we asked for our food to be packed, one of the servers took our food but never came back for 20 minutes before we had to ask ourselves where the leftover food was, only to find out they threw it away and not even tell us. They lied to us that they had it but they actually threw it away. Also live music isn't live music, it's one of the patrons singing while they play music on the stereo or through their iPhone. Decent food, horrible horrible horrible service. If you're not middle eastern then don't bother going. read more

First off, we bought a groupon for this place to try it out. Both my daughter an I love middle eastern food. This was for my daughters birthday so we checked the hours, it stated they opened at 4. We got there 4:45 and no one is there. One of the workers was sweeping the patio, I asked if they were open he said yes and took us in to seat us at a table in their dining room. First, no music, no place settings, menus were filthy and crusty. He brought us 2 bottles of water but never asked if we would like anything else to drink. Then after 10 mins he finally came back and took our order. Then we waited a good 20-25 mins for our food with the excuse they hadn't heated up the grill yet! Even though they opened at 4 and the cook and waitress were eating when we came in. Also, the "waiter" was dressed in jeans and a ratty black t-shirt. My daughters beef kabob was good but my shrimp kabob was dry, over cooked and tasteless. We will never be back!! read more

As we walked in the owners wife seated us next to the speakers , we asked if we can move to another table , she said it was all reserved. The night went on and no one occupied the 3 tables that we requested to sit on , she lied and bs the situation where she said the speakers won't effect you guys when in reality it did. The food sucked , dogs won't eat from it. If your Arab you would know that this stuff sucks. The service was not bad , the hookah sucks they couldn't fix it if there life depended on it and it didn't taste like what I ordered. Only 2 things were good, the liquor (which is bottled and bought from somewhere else ) and the singer , other then that this place sucks and will probably be under new ownership soon read more

I love this location. Really good vibe and atmosphere for any type of occasion. Give the main dinner plate a try with the hummus. It is delicious! read more

I am so disappointed of this place is really a joke a first they website say something then when u get there is something else is very expensive they charge you first before you even get the food .I see why they do it so you don't have to leave then if you do leave well is your choice since I already paid . they have a time to serve the food like I am in a wedding or someone else party they actually taking almost 4 hour's as I am writing right now we got here at 9 pm is already midnight and nothing it was my husband birthday and they not even say or did anything of course I did mentioned when we made the reservation they gave me a table at the corner like we are hide in , music is fine but service is really bad you ask for a drink and they take along time to bring it then when the finally do it they give u an extra so you don't keep asking this is first and last time in this place I see why they were in bar rescue. read more

Nice Mediterranean place with live show: belly dancer and singer. Tasty food in good portions and good service staff. We got hookahs and ordered food and sat for the main show that BTW didn't start till 12:10AM. The volume was overly loud we couldn't hear ourselves think and after a while was simply agonizing. The table adjacent had 3 couples who acted quite peculiar. The guys were focused on the ladies at our table. One of them started a conversation with my friend's GF that pissed off his wife or GF. They got gradually louder and more hostile (we gathered they were Jordanians) Plates and cups fell & one of them was threatening my friend for whatever reason, we decided to leave. What a night! Not what we expected. read more

Came here for a concert to see nipsey hussle. Literally stood in line for over an hour while I watched the doormen let in like 40 people who did not stand in line. Drinks over priced. Nothing on tap. Nipsey hussle was supposed to come on around 11. Didn't see him till 130. Played for maybe 40 minutes then left. Worst experience I've ever had a any venue from Los Angeles to San Diego seen upwards off 30 shows in the past 3 or 4 years this place is horrific. Don't go here for any concerts unless you want to pull your hair out and waste your money. More dissatisfied. Never going here for anything. read more

So this is for their Taco Tuesday night I experienced last night. I accidentally gave someone who worked here $20 (I had a drink so I was slightly tipsy) when I meant to give them $1 and that jerk didn't say anything. It wasn't until I went to pay for something else that I realized I gave it.. If I ever overpaid for something cashiers always notified me and gave me my money back. I made a yelp account just so I could complain about how angry that idiot made me! Also, the crowd was so very unattractive, no matter how much tequila or dim the lights were you could not get pass the disappointing faces..the dj played great music though!! That's why I gave them 2 stars.. the male bartender tried to charge me for tapwater and I had to go off on him because unbottled water is free! Thankfully the female bartender gave me my free water... If you are bored and live in the area.. just watch Netflix and go to bed. Their regular hours might be a better experience.. read more
