Middle Eastern Restaurants near Ardmore, PA

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Philly area. The food is always so fresh and delicious and the service is always attentive and friendly. Any time I am in the area, I stop by and stock up on all my favorite salads, rice dishes, and other specialities. I have never been disappointed. Clean and flavorful food. What more can you ask for? Allergens are clearly listed so there is no guesswork. Highly recommend!“

“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**“

“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!“

“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“

“Food, price and service were good. The wasn't a lot of seating for guest, between the pick delivery guys and non-custoners off the street just hanging out seating was difficult.

But overall good food and variety 😋.“

“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.“

“Had such a good experience eating dinner here for the first time! I liked their mix of authentic Yemeni dishes, as well as other Arab favorites. The oven in the middle of the restaurant for fresh bread was incredible and the decor was so nice. Music was perfect too. Also, staff was so so nice to celebrate the Arsenal win with me coming over to the table with treats - go Gunners! ♥️“

“Absolutely the best I have had in the area. In addition the staff is so professional and friendly. We asked about an off menu item and without hesitation they made it for us.“

“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“

“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“

“Best spinach pie I’ve ever had! Friendly and quick service. Highly recommend“

“We've lived in the neighborhood for 4 years and have not tried this gem until last week, what a shame! I did not expect the unique design, nice service, and delicious food. I had the moussaka, my wife had the lamb chops, and our young kids split the chicken kebab with rice. Also, the bar looks fun to have a drink at. Will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“I always ride by the Flourtown Farmers Market and last night I decided to go in and try Caspian Grille. So glad I did. Ali is very welcoming and personable. Great customer service. He provided samples and background on the food. Samples of the chicken salad, banana pudding and pomegranate sauce were delicious. The three bean salad and pasta salad were so good! “feta does make it betta”. My boyfriend loved the baklava. We usually get it from Al Sham and he prefers Caspian Grilles. We will definitely be back!“

“Excellent spot in the neighborhood serving amazing Yemen food! The service was fast and friendly, making everyone feel so welcome. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced with huge portions. Lamb chops and lamb fahsah were highlights. Will definitely be back!“

“Being Armenian my expectations were high. Apricot Stone far exceeded what I was expecting. Service (Ani) was excellent and all of the help was very friendly. I highly recommend it.“

“Erfan is a great guy! I had his food truck for two years during Covid while living nearby, he was there every day, and the food is super good and consistent. This time I returned to Philly and I came straight back, after all these years, his food is still amazing.“

“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!!!“

“First time trying out this place and they did not disappoint. Upon walking in I was greeted by Robert and I must say he is the person you want working at your business! Pleasant and also knowledgeable . I got a falafel sandwich and it was fresh, flavorful and tasty… I will be back“

“Had the Coconut curry chicken and it was the bomb. Real good authentic Indian food. Spicy but tolerable. Enjoyed it very much.“

“I recently visited this place and had an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service.

A girl with glasses attended me, and she was incredibly kind from the very beginning. She welcomed me with a warm smile, made me feel comfortable, and took the time to explain the entire menu in detail. She also offered me cookies, baklava, and drinks, which made the experience even more special.

Overall, the combination of great food and outstanding customer service made this visit unforgettable. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!“

“Very great authentic Tunisian food.“

“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!!“
