Owner
Dining at Alhambra Palace begins in Morocco and the Middle East, traveling through the Mediterranean in every sense of the word. The menu features the Moroccan tagine, the classic kebabs of Greece and the freshest seafood influence by the flavors of the Mediterranean that have the cuisine world famous. Meze platters of fresh-made hummus, crispy falafel and spicy shrimp chermoula set the state for an impressive beginning or happily satiated later evening craving. The menu is directed by Executive Chef Kher Albourine, who recently arrived in Chicago after launching his career at five-star…

The Scene – Imposing curb appeal includes copper-clad turrets, glowing red letters and decorated doors--perfect for receiving the nightly phalanx of six-figure cars. The first two rooms are modest-marble arches, mosaics, fountains, arabesque detailing-in comparison with the breathtaking stage hall. Two floors accommodate nearly 1,000, every inch outfitted with Moroccan artifacts and crystal-laden chandeliers. Large groups gather around drinks, hunks of roasted meat and aromatic hookahs. – – The Food – A familiar pan-Middle Eastern menu has few deviations despite the…

This place should be shutdown
by Tamika1234
We went there last weekend and the place was an absolute nightmare. the food was practically raw and tasted horrible my wife became sick after we left. the waitresses didn't care about us nor the staff.. we asked to see the owner to tell him our complaints, they informed us that he was a little busy and will soon come to our table.. needless to say he never came.. but when we asked another member of the staff where the owner was they told us that he wasn't there. OMG if you want to be ripped off and get sick from the food and the service, then go there..
- Pros: none

After reading the reviews, I decided to ta a chance (felt adventurous). Must admit I was very impressed with
the whole scene. Beautiful Place, food was very good, I must admit I was surprised with this one. Service was fast and the server was very polite (Tim) The show is amazing ! The only thing that can improve a bit was the bar, I ordered a margarita, I expected a frozen margarita, I got the mixture not to crazy about that. Then I danced all night long my feet still hurt. I really like this place.
The Details on Alhambra Palace Restaurant
Where to Sit:
The best vantage points for the show are from the raised main floor level and the balcony. True VIPs can book private balconies that come equipped with unlimited food, drink and dedicated wait staff.
When to Go:
As if the hand-carved walls, imported tiles, balcony seats and gorgeous food wasn't enough of a feast for the eyes, bellydancers put on performances Fridays and Saturdays from 6pm to 10pm.
Private Rooms:
The entire second floor--with blood red drapes and tile mosaic walls--begs to be rented for your next party for 300 friends.
Parking:
Valet is a bit on the steep side at $10, but well worth it considering the neighborhood's tricky grid of one ways and shady side streets.
