About
Palani Drive
Welcome to Palani Drive, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Richmond, Virginia. Located at 401 Libbie Ave #1, this vibrant spot is not just a restaurant; it’s a community hub where locals gather to enjoy delicious, healthy fare. As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I had the pleasure of exploring their menu, which is a delightful mix of fresh salads, hearty soups, and mouth-watering breakfast burritos.
What sets Palani Drive apart is their commitment to using high-quality ingredients while offering a range of options that cater to both meat lovers and vegetarians. My experience began with a Tomato Parmesan Bowl, a comforting mix of rich tomato soup and melted parmesan that sings with flavor. Priced at just US$6.50, this bowl is a testament to the simple joys of well-crafted food.
Their salads are equally impressive. The Palani Salad is a vibrant vegan option filled with mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots, all enjoyed with a choice of dressings for only US$11.95. For those craving something a bit heartier, the Caesar Salad—with its crunchy croutons, fresh lettuce, and rich dressing—delivers satisfaction in every bite at a mere US$10.50.
- Breakfast Burritos are another highlight, especially the Rancheros Burrito, which offers a tasty twist with eggs, black beans, salsa, and jack cheese all wrapped up in a warm tortilla for just US$10.85.
- For those looking for a lighter touch, the Vegetarian White Bean Chili is a must-try, available in both cup and bowl sizes (both US$5.15 and US$6.50, respectively) and topped with cheese for added richness.
Patrons rave about the friendly ambiance and attentive service, with many describing Palani Drive as a great local watering hole. Customer Mark Pounders eloquently expresses the community spirit, noting that it's always a pleasure to see owner Jeff Weatherly. Andrea Brewer praises the efficient ordering system and the variety that the menu offers, particularly highlighting the fresh wraps that can be customized into salads.
Health-conscious foodies will appreciate the abundance of vegetarian options, as noted by Vincent Klug, who has fallen in love with their buffalo chicken wrap and the extensive veggie-friendly dishes. Each bite leaves you feeling satisfied yet light, making it an ideal stop for lunch or dinner.
Whether you're in for a quick bite or a relaxing meal, Palani Drive offers a unique blend of flavors and a welcoming atmosphere.

“ Always good to see my old frien and owner, Jeff Weatherly. Stop into Palani for some delicious food and support a great local business and watering hole! ”
“ Walk up and order, grab a seat and wait for your number to be called, then pick up at kitchen window. So many different wraps on the menu and great soups. Special of the day and great local beers. Also, a nice bar to sit and eat. Outside covered seating. Any of the wraps can be made as a salad. I have always liked what I've tried here, but my favorite by far is the Shenandoah. ”
“ Healthy, Hawaiian themed wraps make this a great spot for a healthy lunch or dinner. Plus the staff is super friendly. My personal favorite is the buffalo chicken wrap, but my wife loves their veggie options. Which is another way that this plays is great--lots and lots of veggie friendly dishes to try. Good place for a meal that won't leave you feeling weighed down. ”
