Middle Eastern Restaurants near Bensalem, PA

“Amazing 5-star food a must have“

“Ordered family platter for 8-10 people and still had leftovers! Food was excellent- very tasty, great seasoning and fresh ingredients. Can’t wait to come back and eat at the restaurant.“

“Incredible! I've tried 3 separate Indian restaurants in my life, and I never returned to any of them. I have been to Shagun Palace 5 times in 2 months. Writing this review is making me want to go again. Lunch buffet is my favorite.“

“Super tasty super healthy option and the best part is they make it however you want and its fresh everyday!“

“Delicious food for a very good price. Shawarma wraps are on point and their mixed grill platter has delicious meats for a group of 3-4 people. Definitely recommend this spot if you crave some middle eastern Halal food. The staff is the most friendiest and will always accommodate as they can for any request.“

“We stopped in on a quiet, slightly cold, cloudy Sunday. The dining room was calm when we arrived, and while I appreciate a peaceful space, it was easy to imagine the room filling with energy during busier hours. The atmosphere still held its own even in the quiet.

The hummus was excellent. Silky texture, balanced acidity, and a gentle nutty depth that showed real care. Warm pita made it even better.

The plov was the most compelling dish. Fragrant rice, tender meat, and vegetables that kept their integrity. Every component tasted deliberate and well seasoned.

The cheese naan was another strong point. Crisp on the outside, soft inside, and a clean cheese pull that made it far too easy to reach for another piece.

Green tea finished the meal with a clear, earthy warmth. Simple. Effective. Exactly as it should be served.

A thoughtful and well executed meal. Five stars.“

“We just found Bucks Gyro Truck while driving by and had to stop and we are so glad we did! Great food. Better than the restaurants around and for a much better price. The flavors were amazing. The guy who served us was really friendly! This is gonna be our new go to place.“

“Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, friendly staff I highly recommend it.“

“I grew up on homemade Middle Eastern food made daily by my parents, so I’m very picky when it comes to authenticity. I’ve tried a few places that just didn’t hit the mark—but AL SHAM in Chalfont is a straight 10/10!! They serve real Arabic bread (pita)—not tortillas disguised as pita like you find at other places—and their homemade Lebanese toum (garlic aioli) is the real deal. One bite of their falafel wrap instantly transported me to a boardwalk in Lebanon, overlooking the Mediterranean—complete with fresh bread, Lebanese pickles, and those perfect pickled turnips. The meat is 100% Halal and you can taste the quality. Flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. **This is the kind of spot you want to support. We’ll be back again and again—do yourself a favor and try them ASAP**“

“Sofra is not much to look at from the outside, but if your mother taught you right, it's what's on the inside that counts (at least that's what she said to make you feel better in high school). Unfortunately it falls well below the attraction scale in order to welcome in some crowds.

Now... where Sofra lacks in ambiance, it gets 5 stars for food. I've been here for both sit down and takeout and it's been consistently great each time. I have only get kebab style platters and the appetizers but they never disappoint. The food portions have always been enough to share and they don't disrespect you with their pita providings, either. Is some of their stuff premade? Maybe. But it's been hard on the restaurant industry and you probably pay top dollar at another restaurant that shall not be named that lies to you about what's on your $45 plate ... so let's relax. I do agree that their prices are a little high but it's likely to offset inflation. The other thing I personally don't like, and please don't tell my Greek grandmother, is their dolmades. But I don't really think I've ever had one I liked.

As for service, well, when I walked in to pick up my order today, there was only one older man running the show and he was sweet, made my order correctly, and thanked me for coming in. We all know how hard it is to find good help around here so kudos to him for opening and getting it done.

I think Sofra is a good option for Mediterranean in the area. You should give it a try and I hope you have a good experience.“

“delicious samosas and beryani“

“We had lunch at Barakat Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious! I loved the Chicken Shawarma. My husband got the samsa and plov, and he really enjoyed them too. I definitely recommend checking it out! Plus, the service was super fast. The ambience is nice, a recently updated place. Perfect for lunch or dinner, but not necessarily a special occasion.“

“Everything is about this restaurant is amazing from the food to the service! I highly recommend the butter chicken, naan, biryani and the raitha sauce! Would love to come here and try the food again!“

“Let me start by saying I love the food at The Halal Guys so much that I ate there pretty much 4/4 nights a week for a year straight after work before trimming it back. I've never done that with any other restaurant. The gentleman I spoke to leaving the restaurant the other night said he drove 40 minutes to come enjoy the food. All of the food is very fresh. They are always cooking fresh chicken and beef. All the veggies are a great addition to the platter along with the fresh rice that is always being replenished. The hummus is very good and when you add the chili based hot sauce and mix it up, it's heaven. For those who can't handle the heat, there's their very popular "white sauce". King of Prussia is always very busy. Please do not let "Bobby Bobby" deter you from going to The Halal guys. He clearly doesn't understand the restaurant business......no crime. Look at his bowl. It has chicken and rice ONLY. Evidently he thinks since he is afraid of eating veggies that the rest of his bowl should be filled with extra meat. Sorry Bobby Bobby; that is not how any restaurant works. This place gives a ton of food. I rarely finish my small bowl and have never ordered a large one. In this business you could have the best product and location but take away top notch customer service and a highly dedicated GM/owner and get ready for your "Grand Closing". Caesar has been the GM at KOP for years now and I've never seen him have a bad day. He always has a smile on his face and treats all of his customers with the utmost respect. His customer service is exceptional. This is extremely rare. How do I know this? 35 years in the restaurant industry. Hail Caesar!!“
