Alhambra Palace Restaurant

The presentation of the food was great but the quantity of the food was very limited in regards of the $$$ amount. The ambiance was very good so was the weekend activities. Full music jam, belly dancing, birthday fun. It’s an amazing 0place to hang out with your friends. The cheese platter with olives is one of there finest appetizers. Highly recommended

The food was good, entertainment great, dancing was fun. Overall a great fun atmosphere. The restaurant itself is beautiful, though the way the tables are set up with the table numbers on them ruins the effect a bit and feels more like cafeteria seating. The MC was way too loud in his microphone and it kept cutting out which was annoying. The alcoholic drinks are beyond overpriced for what you get, and weren't very good.

Food and entertainment were awesome. Kebabs were juicy and just perfect. We were celebrating birthday and they brought a sparkler on top of a cake for celebration. Belly dancers were very talented and provided good entertainment. Overall, very good experience.

Super delicious food! We came here to celebrate a birthday. They gave the best birthday dessert. The music could be a little louder it was a bit too low. Great service!

The food is just okay. As are the drinks. But the atmosphere is amazing. You’re really coming for the mood. The falafel was decent. Nice outside fry with a moist center. The lamb meatballs had a strangely spongy-moist center. The chicken tangine had good flavor but the couscous was unnecessary — or it could have at least been served on the side. Everything was extremely overpriced though. But again, good first experience because of the awesome atmosphere.

Fun place to come for food, salsa dancing and drinks. Went here for a salsa dancing class on Thursday and overall it was a fun event. I specially love the architecture of this place, very unique in Chicago. Their salsa dancing class is informative and easy to follow, plus theres a right amount of men to women ratio, everyone was helpful and friendly. The manager Luciano was very nice and attentive. He made sure our group was having a good time and offered to let me leave my car over night because we did have a good amount of drinks. Will comeback again with friends!

Group of 12 pax. Food and ambiance good. Ths service was not good at all. Our Servers tip auto added to bill. Perhaps having the tip guaranteed takes away a sense of responsibility and respect to the patrons and the server does not need to do a good job! spending over $1300 at this establishment for low quality service. Not good and not recommended.

Lovely lovely restaurant and show. Valentine's day dinner and entertainment. I was pleasantly surprised by the food, the ambiance, and the entertainment. Just everything overall blew me away. We were seated quickly since we bought tickets in advance. It was just about sold out. Belly dancers wowed the crowd. They encouraged crowd participation by choosing patrons to join them in dance. There was also a resident strong man and flame dancer. Very fun show. The food was great. Wanna say it was a 4 course or 5 course. Don't beat me up. I'm still a bit new to the classy restaurants. First was the lobster bisque soup. Fresh ingredients. Rich, tasty. Second. Salad. Pecans, apricots, spring greens, bleu cheese tossed in a vinaigrette. Delicious. Light. Something slight. Third. Salmon tartar over avocado and caviar. It was unique. Fresh, salty, buttery. It was an experience. I liked it. By this time I felt like royalty! Out comes our entree. A large platter! Steak, lamb chops, sea bass, chicken kabob, vegetable medley, mashed potatoes drops topped with pearl onions and a scalloped potato cake. AMAZING!! A feast for the eyes, palette and stomach. So damn good. Presentation, taste, just overall incredible. Then dessert. Heart shaped mochi with a type of fruit filling over a cookie. Not the best dessert but it was ok. Not gonna affect the great dinner service we've had. I highly recommend it. I will definitely be back again soon.
