Favorite Mediterranean food in the area! Always delicious, fresh, good quality. Love how they always have new things to try in addition to favorites. It's also really nice that they're in the mall if your friends are in the mood for something different and you need your Palmyra fix! Of course, your friends end up tasting your Palmyra and you have to share until they get their own next time. But, it's ok, because portions are generous...

5 Stars – An Exceptional Culinary Gem in an Unexpected Place! Palmyra Authentic Mediterranean Cuisine is hands down one of the best discoveries I’ve made in a long time, and believe it or not, it’s tucked away in the South Hills Village Mall Food Court! This hidden gem is delivering fresh, authentic, and absolutely delicious Mediterranean food that rivals (or even surpasses) many standalone restaurants. From the moment we approached the counter, we were warmly welcomed by the incredibly kind and passionate owners. As we spoke with them, it quickly became clear why the food here tastes so fresh and vibrant, every single dish is prepared on-site using only fresh ingredients. They proudly shared their freezer is empty, which says everything you need to know about their commitment to quality. No shortcuts, no processed or frozen items, just real, homemade, family style cooking made with care. Palmyra is not a chain, but a local, family owned and operated restaurant, and that love and authenticity is evident in every bite. We had various dishes including the Lamb and Beef Combo Platter, Lamb & Beef Shawarma Wrap, Falafel Platter, Hummus, Pita Bread and a variety of homemade sauces, and every single item and bite was bursting with flavor. The portions were incredibly generous, and we ended up taking home enough food for another meal or two, making it not just delicious, but also a great value. One of the highlights was their homemade baklava. Rich, flaky, perfectly sweetened, and made with a touch of love, it was honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. What’s even more exciting is that Palmyra won’t be staying in the food court much longer. The owners shared their plans to relocate to a standalone location in the Bethel Park, which is absolutely the right move. This level of quality and care deserves its own space, and I have no doubt the new location will thrive once word gets out. In a world full of fast food and cookie cutter chains, Palmyra is a refreshing reminder of what truly great food is all about, authenticity, family, freshness, and heart. Do yourself a favor and give this amazing local business a try. Whether you’re a fan of Mediterranean cuisine or simply love discovering high quality food made with integrity, Palmyra is a must-visit.

We had the chicken shawarma bowl, spicy hummus, and meat grapeleaves. Everything was fantastic. Not to mention the owner was so sweet. I love support a family business. I don’t think there’s one thing on the menu I wouldn’t love. Definitely going to use them to cater upcoming events. Highly recommend. My only complaint is that it’s not closer to me.

If you are a tourist or live here in Pittsburgh, I recommend you try this food place that is inside the mall. It is Mediterranean food. The food is delicious and the price is reasonable for the large portion of food. The staff is so friendly and always has a smile. It is one of my favorite places every time I come to the South Hills Mall.

I heard about this place on a recent post and had to try it. I was not disappointed! Food and portions were excellent. I highly recommend extra garlic sauce for the lamb and beef shawarma. Usually food court meals are OK, but I would go to the mall just for their food.
