I had a blast last night at this place! Besides the show which made our night interesting, the food was really good. Although it is overpriced, I have to admit it is good. Also, be aware that the gratuity fee is included in the bill. All in all, interesting place to visit and see some new things. Recommend!

Ive been coming here for years and it is definitely one of the coolest venues in the city. It is HUGE and beautiful with multiple areas to lounge and dine all over the venue. It really is a palace. They always have great DJs and entertainment. I used to go on Tuesdays for salsa nights and recently I was there for a bottomless mimosa lunch and it was one of the most fun things Ive done in awhile. They host concerts and all types of cool events. Definitely go to their pages and check out their calendar. They also have valet parking and outdoor seating.

Such an amazing place...the music is fantastic and makes you wanna dance! The show was also fantastic and the MC was delightful! Staff is super friendly.

We went close to opening time which meant we had the place to our selves. Only thing is all the workers are still preparing for the night crowd, by setting up, having staff meetings, fixings the lighting and tables and sometimes I felt like an afterthought. The ambience was on point but the food was not as good as Id thought considering the price. The drink was very small also even for the discounted early price. I did feel sick later. I cant deny or confirm it was from the food there.

Here is why I am giving a 1 star. First I order online to get food and get an email confirmation to pick up the food. When I arrive they let me know they do not do take out. I showed them they are still showing up online and offering menu and services through many of the togo services. I was offered to call in and do an order another time. I called in the next day and was told they can not make food for me to pick it up and take home because of a private event? Food is good.....customer service terrible. A customer wants to buy your product....... and I used to host events pre covid at this place.....but guess I will take my events and other business elsewhere. Any other restaurants want my business and events? Please let me know. Thanks

Very beautiful place. Went for a wedding party. Had about 20 people. The food was presented beautifully. It was so flavorful. The decor is worth seeing alone. The show was fantastic. I found not 1 single thing that was a negative. And thank you to Alhambra for getting such a large party in on such short notice and allowing us to change the reservation time because of picture scheduling.

First time visit! Wow, what an experience. Kuddos to the owners of this establishment! We were celebrating a birthday and anniversary all weekend. We ended with brunch at Alhambra Palace. Nice buffet and endless mimosas! The atmosphere was as if the party was still going on. Our party really enjoyed ourselves and each other. This is definitely a must visit again. We purchased tickets on Eventbrite and Alhambras made it worth every penny! Thank you

Wow..where do I start.First, dont come here. Its like walking into a third world mud hut. Absolutely dirty and disgusting. They do not have a dishwasher, they do not sanitize. Filth and waste everywhere.Its a middle eastern place so that pretty much sums it up.As for weddings. Forget it. Completely clueless how to organize.Trust me. Do not come here. Avoid at all costs.

Good music, great entertainment, okay food. Fridays and Saturdays are the best nights

Love my experience every time I come here. Good food, but limited menu now. I guess due to COVID.

Horrible experience and terrible service. This was mine and my fiancés Bachelor/Bachelorette party and decided to have dinner at this place. Everyone in our party disliked the food and we were the last to arrive and it took them 1 hour to ask us if we need anything,we said yes and they said they needed at least one hour to prepare everything. I wouldnt recommend this place and definitely not going back

Music was great and the performers were great but the service was awful. I used to be a sever myself so I know how hard it can be-But this guy was totally focused on his friends and ignored us. Brought our food late and gave the other app away to another table and had to remake it (having us wait over 30 minutes for it). Not only that but he charged us for drinks we prepaid at the bar and had brought to the table. I’d give 5 stars for the performers but the waiter needs more training.

I went for the Viva Mexico Brunch. This is what the toilet looks like....why arent you guys cleaning the toilets?Anyway, the event was enjoyable. Tacos were really good but they werent from the house kitchen. It was a taquero.

Don’t believe the hype! I went here for the advertised brunch the price is $40. It’s so not worth it. The only thing on the menu was sausages, undercooked bacon, chicken tenders, powdered eggs that was overcooked, potatoes, waffles and fresh fruit.They ran out of plastic plates shortly after opening. We had to use a flimsy paper plate. They are slow bringing out food. They ran out of waffles to soon. The servers are RUDE( the ones serving the food). The orange juice is has a nasty after taste. The champagne has a twist cap not a cork!To get your moneys worth you better drink lots of champagne.Aside from the the place is beautiful, the Dj was great!! It’s a big day time party.DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT come here for brunch.

Food was great and entertainment was worth staying for. I highly recommend this place.

Horrible experience. The place is massive and there were only 3 servers. We ordered lentil soup and baba ganoush to start. The soup was cold & unidentifiable. Ive never seen lentil soup that was white & lumpy like oatmeal. The baba ganoush was good but the pita were stale. We ended up foregoing dinner and leaving before the show started.

The food was overpriced. The meat was overcooked, dry and little to no seasoning. We had a 7pm reservation but was not notified seating doesnt begin until 7:30pm. As we ate we wondered when the show would startWe finally were made aware it does start until 9:45pm. After waiting to be seated and eating we were too tired to stay. We called to confirm they have live show but was not made aware its not until 9:45pm. We often had to search for out waiter. After receiving the bill we realize service was sub par because they receive automatic gratuity. Needless to say it is highly unlikely that my family and I will returnWebsites gives no details about the start time for the show and seating

I went for the mimosa brunch and the DJ and atmosphere was amazing, with a good mixture of music they kept the mimosas coming. The brunch food was...edible.. basically I shouldve eaten before I arrived. Go for the drinks and the DJ!!!

The 2 stars was because the dj and people were entertaining. We went for brunch on Sunday that was $50 but they served us food like we were at a homeless shelter and honestly I’ve seen the shelters eat better. The Cheapest J. Roget champagne for $50/ ticket!!! It was from 12-2 and By 1pm the food was basically gone, except for Tons of sausage that did not look edible. THEY SERVED US ON PAPER PLATES!!!!! Do I really need to say more?? My other complaint about this place is it seems that they don’t support their black customers. I haven’t seen ONE black person on their social media pages but the people that I know that have had parties here are all black people. Where are the videos and pictures from those parties????????

Great food and great atmosphere. If they have the brisket give it a try.

Came today expecting to have a good time and was quickly disappointed!! The brunch started at 12pm and by 1pm they have run out of food!! On top of not having food the food they did have was horrible...chicken tenders, uncooked potatoes, and something that was supposedly eggs but did not look like it...just HORRIBLE!! Not worth the money...please do not waste your money!!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING TO EAT HERE !! Over priced for the food, low quality for what they actually serve you, and terrible service. We ordered the Alhambra platter for $60 dollars and what a disappointment!!! The chicken was good but the beef kofta and the beef chunks were terrible! It tasted as if they dumped of dry seasonings (over seasoned) and no salt. To make things worse the waiter forgot to bring us our side dish! The hummus tasted bland; no salt, no lemon. Just tahini and hummus! Toward the end of the night it took us an hour of chasing over our waiter and him trying to figure out who ordered what food from our party to bring us the check just so we can leave. Why would anyone have to chase over the waiter to pay for the food? Spent $200 for mediocre food and service, never coming back again.

Day party was really nice and the food was good and great dj I definitely recommend

Save your money and time and go elsewhere. Our experience was not good at all. Servers were disorganized, didnt know the menu, food took forever, way overpriced, and missing items from our platter which we had to request 2times to get them which was in the initial price too. Fattoush salad was soggy, no pita, and for the amount of money paid it was a handful of lettuce. The meat was also dry on our platter. Now I understand why it wasnt busy on a Saturday night. Never again.

Visited the place last Saturday. Menu was limited. While the meat was not bad the rest, including the pita, just horrible. Dirty dishes and silverware. Drinks were terrible…. 🤦🏻‍♀️ The show was absolutely pathetic… I can’t believe they have a nerve to charge per person for it!

This brunch was disgusting and the mimosas are watered down. I would suggest just paying for the party and not the food because it’s gross. It’s not your typical Fremont etc. it’s low budget. I would not recommend the food.

Wonderful service excellent customer service and awesome show

I have no idea why this place is advertising a Sunday brunch Downtown Chicago on EventBrite for $40 with unlimited mimosas 12-2:30pm and after party until 5 as if this is something classy. The food was eggo waffles cut in half, cold and hard, cheap chicken tenders, thin bacon, fruit already prepared on a paper saucer, frozen potatoes out of a bag, small danishes that were also obviously prepackaged as well. For the money we paid it was worse than a bad hotels continental breakfast. The music was loud ghetto and distasteful. It reminded me of an after party of college aged students who didnt go home after the club. It is truly deceitful for the $55 paid plus the $15 valet. Im so glad I did not have my mom, sisters or other women I love and respect with me.

I loved the whole atmosphere of the room and I love the music. I had the best fun at the palace

Entertainment was fun but the service was horrible. We were a party of four and we got seated right away but we sat there for over 30 minutes and waiter never came. We asked multiple waiters to take our order and they would just say they are coming as they walked away. The food was just average and overpriced. Also, beware that gratuity is included. I made the mistake of tipping another 15% on top of the 15% already included. I am only bothered that I tipped that much because of the horrible service.

The food at the brunch was horrible, they ran out of chicken and waffles in less than one hour. The bacon and sausage was half cooked, the eggs looked blue. The mimosas and the music was the only good thing about this place. I don’t recommend this place at all.

Excellent show and food! Amazing ambience. Even during Covid, they provide the utmost service and follow all safety procedures. Celebrated my birthday there with a group of friends. Everyone couldnt stop complimenting on great choice of restaurant. The staff was super friendly. From the waiter to the bartenders and manager.

I love this place. They have amazing entertainment with the Arabic music, live singing and belly dancing. There is dance floor too. What came as a pleasant surprise was a Bollywood dance performance. Food wise this place is above average. I ordered Alhambra Sampler which is vegan dish and was good in taste. Quantity of meal is good for one person. I also tried lentil soup and it was very nice. Overall this place is must visit for awesome entertainment, food and ambience!

Nice ambiance with varied people, the restaurant is Mediterranean style trying to bring a touch of palace feel to it. The food was typical middle Eastern taste and was good, and the waiting staff was good as well. The show was entertaining, it included belly dancing, and other circle type performances. If you are celebrating something, they call you on stage and chat with you to make you feel good. Parking is the worse thing, we went on a week end, so there was no street parking spots to be found, however, they have a valet service for $12 dollars that you can use.

Beautiful establishment. I enoyed it. Theater setting. Great food and drinks. (Expensive) Its high end. The staff is great also. It is great for dinner, concert, wedding or a prom. Gorgeous.

The food wasnt that good, as the Potatoes werent done, and the food was cold, but the Mimosas were nice, and the music was great!

The experience is definitely worth it! We ordered the Al Hambra platter which was really good for 2-3 people.

The DJ’s are on point and hands down the biggest and best brunch day party I’ve been to. The place is huge and it gets packed!

So before going here I read the review and still decided to give it a try because I wanted to experience it atleast one time! Performances were great. Food was tasty—-however, EXTREMELY overpriced for such small portions. We ended up spending $320 and still left hungry.. The service was TERRIBLE so we didn’t tip at all. We had to get up and look for the server multiple times. He still overlooked us and many other tables. So the other review were correct after all.Whoever the owner is—if you see this review, you’re losing customers by the day when you have a lot to offer! You could use my marketing/business consulting services. Lots of potential being wasted, very sad. Overall, I give 2 stars for the food being tasty and drinks being good.

Amazing restaurant! The food was really nice as well. My only problem is that they had 1 server working. Poor guy had to service several tables and a party of about 40. Kudos to him for not going home sick. Prices were high but food was good.

Nice place to have fun for a couple of hours. Dinner and entertainment.

The brunch I attended was through a promoter hosting at Alhambra Palace on Sundays, and the food was horrible, and they ran out less than hour of opening the doors.They advertise bottomless mimosas which the juice had a terrible taste to it. The after party was really nice though.

The Moroccan taggine was nothing like traditional Moroccan taggine.Where normal taggine is a vegetable dish with meat (go to Google images for examples) this establishment was a rice dish with fried egg plant and peas. The only Moroccan thing about the place was the interior design.Also the food choices was small (literally one page).Tldr; knockoff Moroccan food that you will be overcharged for

Good food; beautiful at on the walls and ambience; bartender treated me with great courtesy and service

I ain’t ever seen salmon that’s white. Ratchet restaurant. Their grape leaves look like it came from a can

The place is beautiful and the show was quite entertaining. The food was abysmal and expensive (seriously, the shawarma was God awful, even the rice somehow was bad, for $30) and there was something about the service that didnt sit right with me. Overall it was still a pleasant experience but clearly not a culinary revolution.

Took my wife here for her birthday last Friday. The place was not packed at all with customers. The food was good and the entertainment was amazing, BUT the service was HORRIBLE the waiter come to the table to take our order and bring our food and never came back. We sat there waiting for over 1 hour to order more drinks but we never did. We ended up asking a front lady walking by for our check which once we received it the waiter had the Audacity to include himself a Gratuity of 25.00. I would never come back or recommend this place to anyone.

I have loved coming here since my first time at 18 years old. It’s a favorite for me when I’m Chicago and always a place I visit! Through the years it’s remained remarkable and an amazing experience.

We were there for birthday party then fight started and they don’t have security, this place is not worth it to go

When we were craving for Middle East dishes and were new to Chicago area, Alhambra Palace stood out as a famous place for Lebanese food. So that, we decided to give this place a try for lunch. We stopped by and place a take-out order at around 12 p.m. on a Saturday. There was no other customer but us. We ordered a dish of Koubideh with rice, Lamb Shank, and Hummus with pita bread. The food looked quite decent, honestly. But the taste was below average. I supposed we were the first customers of the day so that we got the leftover rice from the day before. The rice was dried. The kabob, a combination of ground beef and lamb and herbs as they said, was bland, harsh, and lack of juicy. The lamb shank was overly sweet, somehow. The lamb shank and the bulgur wheat did not make a right combination as a whole. I had no idea why they had not given us the lamb shank gravy, the best thing about it. The hummus and pita bread were pretty luscious, but they are not the best I have ever had. The price was pretty pricey. Three items cost us a total of $65. Overall, it is very likely to find better Middle East food with a more reasonable price elsewhere.

This is a huge place. This place even has shows. The ambiance was mind blowing. The food was ok and of course parking here is not that easy. Be ready for it. The best thing I love about this place is the ambiance. You sure will be amazed with it.

Food wasnt bad, the entertainment was really good. Great atmosphere

Food was okay, but the show was AMAZING! There were acrobats, belly dancers, and live music. The belly dancers and host were very interactive and danced with the crowd and had dance competitions. Definitely a great night out!

Wonderful evening with friends in the amazing place

Two of Chicago’s FINEST servers work here, no matter the occasion, Doni and Sergio from Alhambra palace will make your night special. Great guys full of energy to match the nights vibe.

Had a ball at the Mothers Day Brunch!! The whole environment was wonderful! Thank you to all who worked to make it a great mothers day!!

It’s a one of kind place, the ambience was amazing, it was a complete Arabic themed restaurant. Loved the interior decor and also the place was pretty huge.The food was delicious, we ordered an Alhambra veggie platter and kabob platter. Both had good combo of samplers, the falafel and chicken kabobs were mouth watering but the lamb kabob was average. The pita bread had a garlicky flavor and the hummus accompanied it greatly.Overall the experience was awesome and would definitely recommend anyone who wants to experience a different cuisine along with a themed ambience.

Amazing performers. Below average food and drinks. Food was cold and drinks were tasteless. Better get here well fed and drunk.

Came here for bottomless mimosas as advertised. When we arrived they sat us in an empty area for about 15 minutes until someone saw us and told us we got seated incorrectly. Once we sat in the correct section it took another 15 minutes to get a mimosa. About an hour and half in they said they ran out of of orange juice! How do you run out of orange juice when you are advertising bottomless mimosas? Extremely disappointed. Would not recommend or ever come back.

Cracking loved good vibes spending my time where its appreciated.

If i could give it no stars, I would.Food was cold, meat was hard and over cooked. Prices are way over priced for what is it.The works where vacuuming during our stay, I had to eat my cold rubbery food while hearing a vacuum.Ruined my whole mood so I had to write a review so nobody else waste their time. And there’s bugs.

Great brunch experience !! The food was ok but the experience was better mimosas kept flowing and dj was pretty good. The place is beautiful and spacious

DJ was on point t with the music

The food was very good, specially the lamb and the fallafel. We got there very early so the show actually started as we were leaving.

Great atmosphere but unfortunately they false advertised an event. Me and a few friends attended their Sunday brunch, we all paid for the bottomless mimosas. Unfortunately the glass was so small, 3 to 4 sips and youre finished. They did not come around every 15 minutes for refills as advertised. The price for drinks at the bar was absolutely outrageous. I asked the server to bring over 3 margaritas, when I asked him how much for the drinks he said $61.00 and that included the 20% gratuity that was automatically added to the bill. They even had the nerve to charge one of my friends $75.00 for a $15.00 bottle of prosecco that we could have gotten at Jewel. I wouldnt waste anymore money patronizing this establishment.

We went as a party of 9... expensive, but a nice experience, the entertainment was nice. Loved the fire dance and the female commentator.

OMG what a great time! You have to go check out the weekend Brunch. Beautiful place, great brunch, bottomless Mimosas and AWESOME DJs.

Bad food,bad entertainmentThis place is going down it’s not used to be like thatVery disappointed

Horrible service. Bottomless mimosas were extremely small, tasted like there was no champagne in them and I was there for 2 hours and only got 2.. had to chase someone down to serve our table for the second one. I’m not one to complain about music but... it was soo loud we couldn’t even hear the person next to us. Definitely the worst brunch I’ve ever been to. Major rip off.

I really enjoy the atmosphere here, the food was ok, it is just i had better before. Great Music, great show on weekends. Definitely will come back!

I enjoyed both, the decor and interesting Moroccan dishes. The waiters recommendations were spot-on. Tagine was as tasty as beautifully presented (see photo).

Beautiful, amazing palace you can not believe your eyes.Out of this world experience, outstanding decorations from Middle East, good food(We ordered falafel, hummus as appetizer and lamb chops, alhambra plater as entrees you can’t imagine how delicious were)They have amazing entertainment with the Arabic music and belly dancing. There is dance floor too. What came as a pleasant surprise was a Bollywood dance performance. Overall, Must visit for amazing experience( food and ambiance) could not stop talking about it. Great job to owner and employees!!!Will comeback

I had a great time & the people are awesome

Great Middle Eastern Food!! Had a great time with friends..!The Ambiance is really good..!

Excellent! I liked the food! Great place!

Very friendly environment, gr8 service, .Over all good energy,....Endless mimosas a +++

This place is always so much fun! The dancers are amazing!!!

Had a ball, great food and drinks. A wonderful atmosphere. Will definitely go again!

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the food was delicious and authentically Moroccan.

I was there for an event and I thought the staff was very helpful.

This was a nice... expensive experience. We went for the dinner/show. Food and drinks were good and the show was different. It was interesting.

The Hospitality was absolutely wonderful and so was the FOOD

Lovely place and performance.. Also, the food was tasty

I went here today food wack and small portions of food and over priced and they charge you for their entertainment as if we ask they tip themselves 40 off top menu very short no options !! At all .. the best food lamb that’s 32 bucks n smallest pieces,Shots was 18 bucks a pop entertainment was not goodDONTTTTTT GO HERE !!!!

So organized and clean and dj was on point!!! Wear comfy shoes! The place is huge.

The show on Saturday nights is AMAZING! The fire use was cool and the girls are amazing. The food was good. Definitely will come back.

Everything was phenomenal. Food tastes great and great entertainment!

Good atmosphere, good food, good drinks, staff is great!!

Good food and good atmosphere.

Alhambra palace is a place worth visiting !Twas our anniversary and we planned a celebration there .This place was simply breath taking .Starting from the decor,ambience, music, food,DJ,the spectacular show,the staff, everything there was beyond personification.The show was spectacular with all the amazing performers, be it the belly dancing, the veil dancing, the ariel gymnastics,the fire dance, the awesome music, and the amazingly funny show host .This place deserves 7 stars actually .

Nice setting music was ok brunch was good

Salmon was delicious, server was friendly and the show was fun and engaging

Food is good, service sucks. Their endless mimosas sucks they take forever to serve you another mimosa went there for 2 hours and only had 3 mimosas plus the mimosas are HORRIBLE, it was more orange juice than champagne, all I can taste was the OJ. Won’t be going back for sure.

The main showroom is a treat at night when they have their live shows. Theres 4 to 6 performers and crowd involvement. Followed by dancing for about an hour before the next shows start. No beer for sale, only wine and cocktails which might seem a little pricey, but given theres no cover charge for the live entertainment, prices are within reason. Place is classy and clean. Great place to bring family visiting Chicago. They also do around 3 shows on Fri/Sat around 8:30pm, then 10:30 and again around midnight.

Okay-Ish food.Decent show.Better places than this around Fulton market.

The food, entertainment and everything was worth the wait and go 👀

Love this place,great service, food was delicious.

Ivanka is the best waitress ever, I guess she has to be come a manager of this place, she knows exactly what to do!!!))

I like that there is more outdoor seating on the left side of the place. It looked on the pictures like theres only a little space on the sidewalk.So I took a picture to let you know about the big outdoor area nested between the buildings.It looks quite cozy but we already made reservations elsewhere where we knew they had outdoor seating.

Overpriced. Server was horrible. Food wasn’t worth it. Wack belly dancers Music was on point and the emcee was the best.
