Alyan's Restaurant

Alyan's is a low-key, affordable spot that serves atmosphere and delicious food!My boyfriend and I ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich and grilled zucchini platter. The grilled zucchini platter is definitely a stand-out dish. It came out perfectly grilled with fresh warm, slightly crispy pita bread and flavorful hummus.The service here is also very warm and friendly. I'd highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for some comforting Mediterranean food.

Casual BYOB spot right off of South Street with fresh, tasty platters and appetizers. No frills interior but back patio is really charming. The service is quick and friendly. I love their falafel, but definitely grab an app and some tea too! Prices are a major deal for the amount and quality of the food! Great for relaxed group dinners (thought it's not a huge spot) and dates.

Came for the falafel and left trying everything. Nestled right on South Street, Alyan's is serving up some great middle eastern food. The back patio offers a ton of great ambiance for larger groups. Everything was pretty good I must say. I eat a lot off middle eastern food. Alyan's is tasty and affordable. We ordered ton of appetizers and platters. The fries are delicious. Well seasoned with onions and peppers. Falafel was super unique. Thoroughly enjoyed. Great spot you should try.

What an amazing and unassuming restaurant. Everyone is always headed to Jim's but with Alyans across the street, I'll always head here on my South Street Philly days. The food reminds me of grandmas, with complete platters and tasteful decor. Great smells and guaranteed satisfaction, don't miss out!

Ordered takeout from here last night and we were truly impressed. Everything was delicious, super fast, and the staff were friendly. We ordered the mixed appetizer combo, spinach and mushroom pie, falafel sandwich, and a side of rice. The spinach and mushroom pie was just okay but everything else was great. I would 100% recommend (and order again) the appetizer combo. It came with so many good things and that eggplant? Oh boy I could order that eggplant every day. So nice to find a good middle eastern place near us. My only regret is that we didn't try them sooner. We will be back!

Alyan's serves up GREAT Middle Eastern & Mediterranean food! The Mezze platter includes Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, Marinated Mushrooms, Carrots and Eggplant, Mixed Salad, Feta Cheese, Olives and Tabouli, Tahina & Fresh Tomato Sauce. The Falafel Platter includes Falafel, Salad, Hummus & Pita. Grape Leaves are served warm and stuffed with rice and vegetables.Alyan's offers take out or dine in with ample space and booths. Located at 603 S 4th St directly off of South St. Check out this Philadelphia spot!

Had the Falafel really good and deceptively filling!! Definitely a great alternative to a greasy burger!I think I would have enjoyed some garlic sauce or hot sauce like I love gotten at others spots but I forget to ask and honestly it didn't need it!Sever was kind enough to give me a fresh slice of Baklava! Now that was out of sight!!!!! Definitely recommend this place !

If the wait is a little long don't worry, the food comes out quick! Delicious entrees, very simple menu, music is a bit loud and staff are genuinely friendly. This is truly a family owned establishment and I love it.

I had to give this place a one star which should've been zero stars but I had give something just to write this. We ordered takeout and the food was cold, disgusting and old like they refried it. We spent a lot of money at this establishment. Not only were the staff of two people (the cook and cashier) not friendly and cold, they sold us old food and I believe it's because we didn't leave a tip after the 4% credit card charge. They make us pay before the food is prepared, which I believe sets the climate for the type of service the customer receives. I also believe it's because we're black, as a white customer came in and was greeted with warmth and kindness.I want my money and my time back! We ordered:Falafel Sandwich Shawarma

This place is such a hidden gem that I feel like no one knows about but it's the best. Food is amazing and it's so cheap for the quality and amount you get. I got a main meal, an iced tea and shared dessert and appetizers with friends and it all came out to only ~$20. Nice and fast service too, definitely come support this family owned business!
