“The most wonderful middle eastern food, warm friendly atmosphere and tasteful, talented dancers!!! I recommend this restaurant to anyone who would like to experience a most special evening!“

“My daughter and I dined here yesterday for the first time and enjoyed our experience. The service is lovely. We particularly liked the chicken shawarma, falafel, and hummus, but I gotta say, the star of the show was the pistachio cheesecake. Wow! This is a family owned and run business, and, if I heard one of the employees correctly, there's a certain family member who makes the desserts. So good! We'll definitely be back!“

“All the above. The food is fabulous! The couple that own it do all the cooking. The service is very good . Once you taste the food you’ll become a regular!“

“The beef and chicken shawarma were absolutely delicious!“

“Update May 28 2016--- went her today. This places food has gone downhill.the lettuce - salad is wet and gross, the rice is not right the Barbecue sauce is wrong. I am guessing they are using a barbecue sauce that doesn't match -+ should not be added to Halal. This meal was just really nasty. I will not be going back here. 😭.

The following is my first review when they first opened do not go by this following review.. Trust me on this.try a different Halal restaurant..

Recently heard a Hala food restaurant opened in Allentown PA in the Giant mall at Tilghman and cedar Crest . They are in the same building where Outback was once located up on the hill across from Giant.
We Originally are from New York City and Hala food is always available from the city's street vendors. So today we decided to try this place out! As I entered there are a few tables to sit at and eat, but I was ordering food to go. Because that is the. Way Hala food has always been to me great food to take home. We were quickly greeted by a very sweet lady . She asked if we had been here before Nope I told her . Just heard that you were here! 😁. We said we are hoping this is good. We love Chicken, rice, and salad with extra white sauce and barbecue sauce. The woman asked me if I would like to try the meat first okay okay I tried a sample of the chicken! It was good but just had a very slight heat to it so I asked to sample the lamb. That was wonderful. So I ordered a combo platter with extra white sauce and extra barbecue sauce on it i have found the mixture of the meat and extra sauces wilk tame down the slight heat that the chicken has. Making the platter delicious. Just like new York city's Hala food vendor.
This combo platter meal was enough to feed two people perfectly. 💜 I also ordered a piece of their Blalskava. which is a delicious Honey Nut cake. Another thing New Yorkers know about. If you go here purchase a container. Even if you eat it for breakfast with your coffee or tea. Honey Nut cakes are good. If you are allergic to nuts stay clear of this treat.! 😊 I Haven't eaten this honey cake yet I am saving it for tomorrow's breakfast . I'm betting it's going to be just as tasty as the combo platter was. 😋. This business is a breath of fresh air to the Allentown PA area. I know I will be eating here again. A+++business The food was delicious, the people at the front counter were very cherry and attentive in what a person wants on their platter. . They make customers feel very comfortable and welcomed. 😁 💜 😋 On a scale of one to ten I give this new business an Eleven. This business operations hours some nights are to two or three AM. I am adding photos of their business flyer menu. It is simple , tasty simple food. Not over priced fare.“

“just reopened under new ownership and this place is fantastic for their customer service. I hope people with bad experiences in the past will give the new owner a chance“

“Our son is at Lehigh and anytime we are twin we come to the Olive Branch. The food is fantastic! Their homemade peanut butter pie is to die for!“

“If you’re looking for authentic middle eastern food with good portions and quality ingredients Maza is where you should order. Most entrees range from $17-$25. I really enjoyed the food at this restaurant. The server was also friendly and accommodating. I would definitely order from here again.“

“Highly recommend Rozana! Elie and Fatin are truly amazing, they went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. The presentation of the food and desserts was stunning, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. Elie also created a gorgeous build-your-own bouquet bar that was such a unique and memorable touch. Their attention to detail and creativity made our event unforgettable.“

“Great food and really nice people, the hummus & falafel are excellent. My husband had a meat dish and he said it was also excellent 👌“
