Halal Restaurants in Philadelphia, PA

“We visited for first time and will definitely come back very soon! Don’t miss this amazing place, delicious food and exceptional service. Exceptional cuisine. Just imagine you are visiting your grandma’s house and she is cooking her food for you. Exactly the same taste and exactly the same atmosphere“

“I have been to my fair share of Halal trucks in Philly. This has proven to be my favorite. Some would claim they are all the same but the consistent quality of this location is what puts it above the rest. Comb over rice, extra red sauce. At least once a week.“

“Best lamb haneeth you'll get in the city, hands down. In fact I'm willing to say they have the best lamb dish in Philly, period. Other meat items on the menu, particularly the kabobs and lamb chops, can unfortunately be dry. Opt for the stewy items to be safe. The restaurant is a bit understaffed and not that impressive on the inside, but the lamb haneeth is truly worth it. I get it regularly and it never disappoints.“

“Great service, food is very delicious.“

“Visited for the first time and the food did not disappoint. Food was fresh and served quickly. Enjoyed the steak fajita combo, chicken quesadilla, Mexican wings, and churros. All of it was delicious. Service was great. Ambiance is clean and nicely done. Definitely coming back.“

“These meals are so tasty and filling! Thanks for providing these nutritious meals for the community!“

“Alvin needs a raise! Great customer service!!! A dollar raise wouldn't hurt!!!!! Good communication skills, respectful and he knows his craft. I asked him the difference between franchise hala food and the trucks that are located on the streets. I received a very efficient and educated answer.“

“We came across this place while we were in Philly last month,July. We were looking for a place to dine. It was our first time with Mediterranean cuisine. Positive ambience as soon as we walk in, our server ‘s name ELIF ( hope i remember it right)guided as through with menu selection and showed the best costumer service . I appreciated the complimentary bread and the hummus while waiting for the entree.I love the taste of it as freshly baked from the oven. Food portions are just right. The price is also decent. We concluded with a Turkey tea…it amazingly taste good. Will definitely visit this place again….to Elif,thank you very much.“

“This is a cool little spot that I discovered cruising down Market Place in Philadelphia. If you're into Middle Eastern food then you will love this place. The only thing I didn't like was that the line to order can get pretty long and sometimes you have to wait a while to order. I guess it all depends on the time of day that you visit. I went during the evening. Overall though, the food and the coffee is excellent.“

“very tasty shawarma I like it ❤️“

“Very tasty food and very personable owner. You need to try the falafel and also the Fava beans. I would go back again in a heartbeat.“

“Highly recommended… my first time to try this place (we are on a short trip) I had the lamb kebab platter. I love it so much that I went back to get the same thing two days later. My family got the wraps and other stuff in the menu and they love it too. The baklava desert was great too.“

“Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I recently had the pleasure of dining at Woondal Restaurant & Grill, and it was an experience I won't soon forget. From the moment we stepped in, the warm ambiance and inviting atmosphere set the stage for what was to come.We started our culinary journey with the Thai Soup and Chapli Kabab, both of which were bursting with flavor and set the bar high for the rest of the meal. The Hayderbadi Biryani, Grilled Snapper, and Rib Eye Steak were each cooked to perfection, showcasing the chef's expertise and attention to detail.Accompanied by a delightful assortment of vegetables and French fries, every bite was a symphony of taste and texture. And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, the cheese cake and red velvet cake arrived, providing a sweet and satisfying conclusion to our feast.The service was impeccable throughout our meal, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. The attention to detail and genuine hospitality made our dining experience truly exceptional.In conclusion, Woondal Restaurant & Grill exceeded all expectations, delivering a culinary masterpiece that left us eager to return. Whether you’re a local food enthusiast or a visitor seeking an unforgettable dining experience, I highly recommend paying a visit to Woondal Restaurant & Grill. You won’t be disappointed.“

“They had a special deal going on all day today, and I Got a free chicken gyro. I live close by and i had been thinking of trying it out ever since it opened up and finally went today since it was free, and have to say I was impressed. It was delicious and well prepared. Quick service and like I said, free, lol so couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you guys that were out there working & preparing food for free all day! I will be sure to tip a little bit the next time. ??????“

“I was having a bad day and decided to try their biryani. I ordered through Uber Eats and asked to make the biryani extra spicy. It was DELICIOUS. Easily the best biryani in the city by far. I’m from Pakistan so I believe I’m a fair judge. It wasn’t greasy at all and packed with flavour.I also ordered cheese chicken naan but the filling was hardly there. I did like the actual naan though. But, I didn’t even care about the naan because the biryani was amazzzinggg.“

“I can't tell you how refreshing it is to find a place that is both excellent and inexpensive. For $15 you can get two chicken sandwiches and a good amount of fries. Many other places charge $15 for a single sandwich.But not only is it inexpensive, it is delicious. We've been several times now, and the chicken is always freshly fried and cooked to perfection with the perfect balance of jucieness and crispyness. Sandwiches come with pickles, coleslaw, and your choice of sauce. I recommend the hot honey. The fries are seasoned and good as well.I frequently order fried chicken sandwiches when I'm out and I see them on the menu. This place is one of the best in the city. Check it out and give them some love!“

“We’ve been coming here for years. The menu has changed, but the quality has not! From chaat, to lassi, to their desserts… we recommend all of it. One of our favorite places, and we can use uBerEats now so it’s even more convenient!“

“I never write reviews, so that should tell you how great this place is. My family particular about our meat. This is hands down the best meat we've had. Their steaks are exceptional. My husband is a midwestern man who reverted to Islam, and he said he missed the last of a real butcher shop after he reverted. We have been to many halal meat shops, farms, you name it. We're also from New York, and travel to get the meat from here. It is a great halal meat market, you have earned yourself a life long customer!“

“Literally just ordered off Ubereats couldn’t leave a review on the app but wanted to leave a review best food hands down & thank you guys very much food was banging & the fact that they listen to me because I ordered the slider & tender combo & i informed them if I can get my tender plain for my daughter & they did exactly that & left a nice note to inform me made my night thank you guys your the best !! Couldn’t show my food since I already ate it all but thanks again“

I guarantee you won't be disappointed!“

“I would give this place an infinite amount of stars if it were possible. When me and my friends lived around here, we loved hitting this Halal cart up on Friday nights. We even made the occasional pilgrimage there once we lived in separate places around Philly.Majit (and later Salman) always whipped up the freshest food, had a smile on their face, and were glad to talk with us. Salt of the earth.If you like Halal you owe it to yourself to get in front of the Fishtown Planet Fitness and order a lamb/falafel combo platter with your sauces of choice.“

“Good, always on point. After going to them for the first two weeks they remembered me by face and by order without me even have to say a word. Always friendly and treated me like a brother. The service is fast and fresh. The taste is always on point! No hit or miss over there! The quality and services shows that they care for the customer experience. Me and girlfriend go to spot. This was her first halal food experience and she’s hooked!!!“

“Great experience. The guys are super nice and the portion size is huge and well portioned with a lot of tasty chicken. Usually I have to ask for more sauce at halal carts but they doused it. $10 per chicken over rice and FREE drink (if only I liked soda). They accept venmo/cash/“

“My boyfriend and I used to live right around the corner from Pasha’s and loved it for lunch or a delicious, filling dinner. We moved to a different part of the city but went tonight for takeout.Not only was the food delicious (falafel is always so incredible) and the portions are huge, they remembered me when I walked in the door! They asked me how I was, asked about my partner, and even let us take one of their delicious desserts as an extra! It put such a huge smile on my face!Would absolutely recommend to anyone in the area, 10/10 food AND service!“

“Super delicious cheesesteaks and sandwiches. Everything on the menu is Halal. They are closed during Friday prayer, which makes me respect them even more!!!I have ordered delivery several times and each time food is packed perfectly, and I honestly re use the bag they deliver the food:))“

“The halal gyro express cart at the corner of 13th and chestnut is by far the best halal food I’ve ever had. The chicken and rice is out of this world and the white sauce is the best I’ve ever had. Keep up the good work!!!“

“MUST TRY THIS!What such a beautiful set-up of the finest cuisines offered in what they call the eastern world. The variety of food and flavor and spices exceeded my expectations.ASR puts to shame any buffet around!DELICIOUSLY PREPARED FRESH AND AFFORDABLE FOOD YOU WONT FIND ANYWHERE ELSE!“

“I visited the truck during my lunch break to pick up lunch for me and my mother. We both got the chicken over rice with the salad. The man in the truck was very nice and personable. The person in front of me ordered six plates, and he served them promptly. When it was my turn order, he greeted me warmly and served the food fairly quickly. The food is delicious and the portions are great, the meal comes with a drink as well. it's a plentiful serving because I only ate half for dinner and had the other half the next day for lunch and it was just as delicious. I think overall, you can't beat the delectable taste with the price. 10/10“

“It was delivered so did not get atmospheres through food was awesome, banana pudding was ok. But the carrot cake made ou for it. The lamb and rice amazing. Onion rings were not what expected. Overall I will definitely return May see different in price . Ty Shukran it was wonderful“

“Best halal I have ever had!! I orded a lamb Gyro and the pita was hot and crispy. Big portions and the white & hot sauce was delicious. Food was fast, and there were way more beverage options than other halal carts. If your going to a food cart this is the one you want to eat at.“

“Great group of brothers who I've seen feed people who didn't have no money or all the money. And they have the best tasting Chicken & Fish I've had from any other Gyro in Philly and trust me I've been to a lot of them.“

“Just so that you know it is a street cart and not a brick and mortar place. This kind of places remind me my old days when I used to work in one of this during my master in NJ. Food was ok and prices are always reasonable in such a cart. Chicken could have been more chopped and juicy. Overall it was a decent lunch.“

“Legit best food cart I've ever had. Far superior to NYC famous carts which have long since lost their luster. The chicken is marinated in a smoky cumin/coriander based masala which never fails to satisfy. I usually get chicken or chicken + lamb over rice. Both the white and red sauces are an excellent accompaniment. Bonus, ask for chickpeas if they have them!“

“delicious samosas and beryani“

“Stopped by the Food Truck Festival in Pottstown today. food is excellent , service is great and they were very friendly. Got the rice/ salad with chicken and spicy pineapple sauce. Amazing!“

“The best halal food in the city. Been there twice already and plan on many return trips. Also, pretty cool that they named a dish after my office, Bresslergroup!“

“Approximately about 10 years ago, that's the first time I had try Halal food. The only thing I remember about it that it cost $5 for the platter and a drink. Recently I've heard a lot of great things about Asad's Chicken on Cottman and Boulevard. And Percy's Chicken on Frankford. First I went to Percy's, it was shut down by Health Department(ceased of operation paper). Then I went to Asad's, the line is ridiculously long and they only served sliders and smoothies. We decided to drive a little to Khan's Halal Food. It was empty when we arrived, but that didn't stop us from dinning in. We decided to get Khan's #2 and Chicken Over Rice. The Chicken over Rice was our favorite. The meat wasn't dry or stringy. They weren't stingy on the white creamy sauce. Everything in that platter mix very well together including the brown rice, lettuce and the cucumbers. Khan's #2 gives 2 sliders and fries. I had paid extra for cheese fries. The two sliders meats were very juicy. Even though I ask for hot(one lower spice than extra hot), it wasn't spicy at all. The only thing that I was hoping they do carry is fruit smoothies. Because both Asad's and Percy's carry those smoothies. Unfortunately, Khan's only have sodas, lemonade, iced tea, and half&half.“

“I had the plov , manti , and drank compote . The service was phenomenal. I felt very welcomed and at home . The food is on another level , packed with flavor and seasoning . The manti was so well priced , the meat inside was so delicious . Highly recommended.“

“Tried it for the first time today, had the chicken kebab hoagie and it was SO DELICIOUS. I thought it would just kind of be like every other chicken over rice gyro spot, but it was way, way more flavorful. The bread was great too. Really flawless sandwich. My only regret is walking by it so many times without trying it. I'll definitely be back.“

“Fast, tasty, fresh, and a couple dollars less than the competition. Very friendly couple of guys running the cart.Had the lamb chicken combo salad and picked up a fish over rice platter for my husband. He said the quality of the fish was the best he's ever had from a cart. I enjoyed my combo but the lamb was definitely the tastier of the proteins and super tender. I'll probably go lamb only next time.“

“This place has a special spot in my heart. They are open 24 hours so I used to walk here at all hours if I forgot an ingredient I needed for cooking Sicilian food and for interesting finds. I haven't tried much of their hot food so I can't really speak to that. But I have tried some of their homemade desserts which are also pretty good. They even had imported, packaged Frutta Martorana a couple times that I went which was a lovely surprise for me. I just wish they also had fresh produce here!“
