This is one of our favorite go to restaurants for dinner. Prices are reasonable, ingredients are fresh, friendly service, and delicious food.We've ordered the meat pie, spinach pie, chicken kebab salad, chicken shawarma entree, grilled salmon entree, NY chicken, NY fish and NY combo.I highly recommend the meat and spinach pies as an app! Very delicious and filling. The spinach runs out quick so get it while supplies last. I can only eat one pie since it is stuffed with filling.NY food is very tasty. Only option I wasn't a fan of was the fish, but that was preference. The fish wasn't fried enough to my liking.The entrees are where it's at. The priciest option out of everything I listed above, but I always have leftovers and it comes with delicious pita bread. Highly recommend this spot!

I'm sorry I didn't come here sooner. This might become my go-to takeout. Got the Mixed taste appetizer, with stuffed grape leaves, hummus, pita, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, and falafel. It was all good. The falafel was so delicious my husband thought they might use the same fryer as the meat. Bad for my vegan family members when they visit, but it was flavorful to me but not too heavy. Hummus was creamy and smooth and rather light. Tabbouleh was fresh. The menu is huge. I'll be back to try the rest!

If you're craving a nice greasy platter like the ones you get off a food truck then this is the place to come. They have chicken, lamb, kebab and shawerma options over yellow or brown rice. They also have a variety of mediterranean dishes, appetizers and salads. Their menu has a few coupons in the back for family meal options. Food was ready in less than 15 mins! Best part of this place is that they have a parking lot!

Great spot to grab something quick, order online and pick up, on the go or you can dine in and enjoy the meal there hot and ready. This location has a parking lot, there's also street parking on the side of the plaza. Seating is adequate.Atmosphere can be pretty loud since the kitchen is right there behind the register/order counter. Food was delicious. I came with my family. We ordered kibbeh, meat pies, mixed shawarma bowl, and other assortments. The appetizers were so good. There was a bite to it, there were juices dripping out the meat pie when you bite into it. Well done. They are accommodating too. There was a misunderstanding or miscommunication with an order after it came out and they were kind enough to fix it when we addressed it.

This places chicken and lamb over rice is so damn good. Disappointed in myself for taking si long to try it! Their white sauce is so good and is a great compliment to their already really tasty French fries. It's a really good portion and can pay two meals.

Food here is great! One of the best Middle Eastern spots in the city. I've enjoyed the kibbeh, chicken shwarma wrap, and combo place. The falafel was especially good - very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.The people here are also lovely. One of the members of my party has celiac disease and is deathly allergic to gluten. The owner made sure that everything she ordered was gluten-free and clearly cared. That meant a lot to me.I live in West Philly, and I would make a trip to Northern Liberties to eat at this spot.

Really delicious food with great portion sizes. The chicken shawarma wrap is very tasty and filled with chicken! Their garlic sauce is not very pungent and tastes a lot more like garlicky ranch. I really like the flavor of their falafels. It's a bit dry but really flavorful. Their fries are also delicious! Just make sure when you order takeout and have a drink, you remember to grab it! I forgot mine when I picked up my food. Their online ordering system is really easy to use.

I've used to go here for chicken and rice all the time till this recent visit. I was ordering the mixed grill platter for a group of friends. It's a yellow rice platter with a mix of meats ontop. Huge portion, good for small groups (4-6 people).It comes with multiple sides of pita bread and sauces. I opened up the pita bread and took a bite real quick to try it...should have looked at it more closely. It was stale and had mold growing on it. I had to run and remove the pitas from the serving table before anyone ate it and got sick. Really big turnoff when an establishment serves you moldy food.....it's crazy because it came in 4-5 individually foil wrapped portions. I'm surprised no one saw the mold as they were packing it. Also they're stingy on the red sauce. Do Not Recommend. Attaching some pics and receipts.

A group of friends and I dined here for lunch when I came to visit Philly one weekend. This was a very casual spot, serving Middle Eastern cuisine. There were a few tables and chairs for seating, and guests order at the counter. The menu was extensive, so it took me time to figure out what to order. I know I had to try the Lassi drink, and chose the Pineapple Coconut flavor. Both the pineapple and coconut taste shone through. The smoothie was refreshing, milky smooth, as well as thick with coconut flakes throughout. For my entree, I finally went with Lamb Chops with fries. The meal also came with salad and pita bread. There were only 2 Lamb Chops, but they were huge! The lamb was perfectly charred, but were a bit tough. The fries were wonderfully crispy, while the salad was nice and crunchy.I also got to try the Baklava, which was satisfyingly sticky, nutty, and sweet. The staff were great. Very friendly and accommodating.
