Arabian Palace (Chef Abdulkareem's New Restaurant) Opens Its Doors!

We are so excited for Feast Chef Program Graduate Abdulkareem Mahmoud and family — they have opened their own restaurant, Arabian Palace, on East Sprague (4902 E Sprague, across from Wal Mart / Costco)!

The restaurant game is not easy, and Abdulkareem and his whole family have been working hard with us at Feast and on their own, honing their craft and building a following for their incredibly flavorful Syrian food. For them it has all been leading up to this moment: Arabian Palace is now open as of January 2025!

Finding a good space to rent, remodeling it for their menu, and navigating 1 million permitting processes has been pretty wild and expensive! Give them a chance to feed your family and you will be coming back for more.

For lunch we recommend the shawarma wraps of course. For dinner, the massive portions and one-of-a-kind fragrant, marinated rice and proteins on the lamb ouzi and samak makes these some of the absolute best plates for the price you can get in Spokane.

Mabrook to you, Abdulkareem, Nisreen, Mohammad, Maher, and team — and cheers to hard-working former refugees carving out a new space to bring their flavor and culture to our city.
