Middle Eastern Restaurants near Ardmore, PA

“The healthiest and most delicious food! I buy my lunch there every day. Everything is always 100% fresh, packed with flavor/fresh herbs and beans and made from scratch. Tons of vegan options and the sweetest and most accommodating owners and staff!

Vegetarian options: Tons of great plant-based options!“

“delicious! we tried a little of everything.“

“It’s very tasty there, we always order from them when going to center city, definitely recommend!!“

“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**“

“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 recommend Dizengoff if you’re in Philly and craving authentic Middle Eastern flavors. This cozy spot, from chef Michael Solomonov delivers Israeli street food vibes with serious flavor. The Lamb Köfte wrap was amazing! 🌯 Fresh lamb meatballs, chopped Salad, Sumac Onions, Tehina, Israeli pickel, hot pepper, wrapped in pita Isralie Breakfast also a MUST try! Za’atar Omelette, Labneh, Schug, Olives, Chopped Salad, Pita Our table shared an unbelievably smooth and rich plate of Hummus Yerushalmi 🥙 Beef, Baharat, Pine Nuts, Parsley, served warm with pillowy, freshly baked pita that’s worth the trip alone. The atmosphere is casual and energetic, with friendly staff who are happy to explain the menu. WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS CONCEPT IN BALTIMORE! 🇮🇱 ממש טעים“

“We didn’t get to eat at Zahav - but got the next big thing and ordered the Lamb Meal from gold belly with salatim. It was DELICIOUS!! Best lamb we have ever had, so delicious. Salads were yummy, hummus well done and could easily feed 6 adults. So. Much. Food. If you can’t make it to the restaurant- order the kit from Goldbelly and treat yourself!“

“The restaurant was empty, so myself and my partner were able to get good seating. The service was excellent and the portion sizes are huge. And all I had were 2 side orders! We did order an entrée, and the size of it was good too. 5/5 highly recommend!
PS: They do NOT serve alcohol. The policy is BYOB!“

“Excellent food! Highly recommended.“

“My husband and I went today for lunch!! It was very good. The hummus was amazing. I had the chicken shawarma sandwich and it was very fulfilling. The dessert was great too! I will be back“

“Great food! Wonderful customer service. Very attentive to my requests. Keep up the good work.“

“Saad’s has one of the best cheesesteaks in the city. Yes, you heard that right. The halal nature of their cooking means they have the finest meats, cheese, and bread. The steak was very flavorful without the greasy mess that a lot of others have. The fries are amazing, too. The place is a little small so getting it to-go is recommended. All-in-all, you can’t go wrong here.“

“Fresh 🍲, tasts good too......“

“This might be the best date spot in the Philadelphia suburbs. The food is absolutely delicious … my wife and I feel like we are eating in the Mediterranean.

The menu is a little overwhelming but the arctic char, salmon, and branzino are absolutely incredible and the mezze appetizers are always so fresh and tasty.

Service could be a little faster, but hard to complain! Love this place!“

“The food was wonderful as the service was fast. I couldn’t believe the check. Extremely reasonable for all you get. I’d definitely recommend Kanella to anyone“

“Okay, wow. This place seriously hits different. The food was soooo good like, the kind of good where you’re full but still keep eating because it’s just that tasty. The kabobs were juicy, the lamb was on point, and don’t even get me started on the baklava😩👌“

“I tried the salta here — and it was great — but the lamb Fahsa? Oh my god. Absolutely incredible. Perfectly seasoned, rich, and so filling. The bread portion was exactly what it should be: generous enough to fully enjoy the dish the way it’s meant to be eaten.

As a non-Yemeni Middle Easterner, this was my first real experience with Yemeni food, and I was blown away. I was so impressed that I later tried a Fahsa at another Yemeni spot just to compare — and it wasn’t even close to what I had here.

The atmosphere here is phenomenal, but not in the overdone, “look at our décor” kind of way. They don’t rely on flashy visuals or gimmicks — you walk in, order your food, sit down, and the focus is entirely on the food and the experience. That’s how you know a place is truly good.

The service was also top-notch — friendly, attentive, and genuine. You really can’t get any better than that.

If you’re looking for true, authentic Yemeni food, this is the spot. This is the spot. Whether you’re a tourist or someone craving proper Middle Eastern Yemeni cooking with the right portions, Hadramaut delivers every time.“

“Stumbled upon Pita Chip while looking for a quick halal lunch during a visit to Philly. I didn’t know what to expect, but the combo over rice was flavorful and satisfying—hit the spot without being too heavy. The food came out quickly and had a nice balance of spices and sauces. If I lived in Philly, this would definitely be one of my go-to spots for casual, reliable halal food. Great option for a quick bite that doesn’t compromise on taste.“
