Halal Restaurants near Bala Cynwyd, PA

“Stopped by to pick up dinner from this spot. The service is absolutely wonderful
The food was delicious. The young lady Tiffany the counter was very friendly and professional. The manager always greets everyone coming into this restaurant. I would recommend this spot to all my first responder friends.“

“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**“

“A nice spot, rather informal but still fun. We split the lamb glaba, which was fairly good, and the fahsah, which came with large flatbread and was really good. You do have to pay for water. Our server was helpful and easy to talk to. Overall I'd say its a fun ethnic spot to visit. They did some weird stuff with the bill- I think they charged the credit card tax ahead of time on everything regardless of payment method, so be aware of that.“

“This was a pleasant find on Christmas Eve, made single-handedly better by our waiter Fathi. Everything was delicious and his hospitality was unmatched. We had way too much to eat and can’t wait to go back.“

“Absolutely Amazing!“

“I tried Nafi's over a year ago but I can't believe I forgot to leave a review. The food options are so much more unique compared to the other halal carts near 33rd & market. Chicken biryani and butter chicken are great. The owner is also a very nice guy.“

“We've only gotten takeout (haven't dined in yet), but their food is fantastic, and it's always ready for pickup so quickly after we call our order in! Great portions, delicious flavors, so many vegetarian options - this is my favorite Indian restaurant by far. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Awesome meatball sub. And the sea salt fries are delicious.“

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

“Been coming to this lunch truck for 2 - 3 years. I'm impressed at the consistency with the flavor & quality of food. It's good every time. I stop by every week & it's pretty quick. Even when it picks up at during lunch rush & dinner it's not a long wait consider the line.“

“I got the falafel platter and the fries and my partner and I split them both for dinner and afterwards we were soo full and satisfied, it was extremely delicious and one of the best falafel platters we have ordered thus far. Really nice staff as well and super fast service.“

“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.“

“Amazing! If you are in Norristown this is a can't miss establishment! See Asim! :)“

“Best halal cart in the city. Yo can trust me, I am very picky about this kind of stuff. Food is always fresh and huge portions, complex flavor, tender meat and the owner is beyond nice .he takes pride in his food and cart. He even once gave me a free plate when I came by too late when he was supposed to be closed. Great people great food!!“

“I used to live in Philly. I bumped into this place and WOW the food is amazing. I now live in Harrisburg Pa. and when I'm craving I get upset because I'm so far away. My wish is that they open a food truck here. Still best halal food I've ever tasted.“

“This place rules the late night! Fast, friendly, well priced, and delicious. Hot chicken slider with slaw on it was awesome, spicy tenders with fries were great. Need to try the falafel next.

I love late night dining after a show and this place saved my night in a sleepy Philly.“

“Where can you find a good quality tasty and satisfying lunch that's for less than $10 in town? Penn Halal food truck on 40th and Locust that's where! I didn't even have to ask for hot sauce because it's offered on most platters along with white sauce. (Definitely choose both. )There's plenty of seating on nearby benches and the campus grass too. If the weather is nice it's all the atmosphere you need!“

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

“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!“

“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“

“Service is good just a little slow and I mean a LITTLE. Atmosphere is ok...like any other store you have to have for your food at. It's definitely clean inside. As far as the food...not a HUGE fan of the fried wings but the breaded hot wings are FIRE! And I also have become addicted to the well done chicken and rice with the salad. Extra white sauce and light hot! It's so good. Fried chicken is better with those delicious rolls they put with the platter“

“BEST SOULFOOD I HAD IN A LONG TIME“

“This is fresh and hot , great chicken and rice with 2 kinds of rice , I eat this every day, all food is cooked and sourced by the owner and his brother chicken is fresh and not little red squares like premade stuff , he cooks and cuts chicken right in front of you , there’s a big lineup every day so it’s best to call in your order for quick in and out , if you like fish , his is out of this world good , can’t wait for deliver so just call and go get it , tell him (Kahn) that mike sent you for extras on your order , try this if you like spicy food or just good food quickly“

“Great service, food is very delicious.“

“I tried their Beef Burger and Chicken Sandwich, and both were good. I had asked for less sauce on the Chicken Sandwich, but they mistakenly added less sauce to the Beef Burger as well, which made it a bit dry. Despite that, the overall meat quality was excellent.“

“This was my first visit after morning service. The truck is clean and the service good. I was able to wait in my car while my meal was prepared. Great presentation of the meal items and the flavor and seasonings great! I was pleasantly surprised!“

“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.“

“The food was good. We had ordered 3 different pita wraps, and a shrimp over salad. They were all done well. The portion size was good. Drinks came free with each meal.Sami was a great guy to talk to. Friendly and hospitable.The parking lot opposite the cart is free to park.Will definitely come back, if I'm in the area.“

“When the mood for halal hits, this is my go-to spot. I will not hesitate to skip past the dozens of options in center city and venture over to eat here. Friendly service. Check. The food is always spot on, I typically get chicken and falafel over rice. The portions are big, and he’s generous with the sauces. Every time I eat here I think, I gotta hear more often. Big 5 stars!“

“Ordered 2 weeks in a row! Food is absolutely amazing. Wings are so yummy and the shawarma is the best! The order was perfect, exactly what we ordered
Love, love,love
On a side note, we ordered through door dash. On the porch, there are 3 tables with a huge note stating “for deliveries”
The dasher put our order on the ground right in front of our door, so when I opened the door, the whole bag fell! No common sense! Not the restaurant’s fault“

“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.“

“Went to Khusbu today and got the Kala Bhuna along with Beef Tehari. The food me reminded of my mom's cooking back home in Bangladesh. It's pretty rare that you get to see Bengali food sold anywhere. I decided to come where with my friend the moment I saw the items. The owner was really good and personable he gave us Malai Tea on the house for us. I recommend you to come here for a taste of Bengali food along with Indian food if that's what you prefer.“

“First time here and the food was delicious! Hubby and I both had the chicken and lamb gyro and also ordered the onion rings and fries. Onion rings were tasty and not greasy at all! We will go back and try other dishes too.“

“I order from here pretty often i LOVE LOVE LOVE the lamb & rice platter & the potato wedges. Giving 5star review bc besides i love the food, i also feel so bad an unfortunate thing happened to both us the consumer and the business because of the delivery driver. We ordered from grubhub as we usually do and it appears the delivery driver stole $50 worth of food and cancelled our order. Im not even sure why the driver is allowed to cancel our order like that, so its terrible theyre out of that $ as well as we dont have our food. So we called halal food king and they were super helpful and advised to order instead on doordash bc the drivers are nicer.“

“Visiting family in Philly and wanted to try a halal Philly Cheesesteak. Had some In The Uk with varied quality. Saad’s is way way ahead. Big, juicy, very very tasty. Reasonably priced, staff are lovely. Place is set up like a diner and kept very very clean. We are here a few times during our trip, tried others but had to come back. Eat j. And takeaway service is good. My recommendations. Cheesesteak with mushrooms, kofta hoagie. Had a chat with Saad, nice guy. Looked after us.“

“Great value. I had the chicken on rice w/ salad & hot sauce. Couldn't try the white sauce due to a milk allergy. The chicken, rice and salad were fresh. Platter came with a canned soda for $8. Plenty of drinks to choose from. Def would return.“

“I used to work down the street and got the falafel over rice 4 times a week. It’s been two years since I left my job in Roxborough and have NOT been able to find anything close to these guys. Their food is amazing. Genuinely nice guys. I hope they are well!! Give them a visit.“

“best halal platter for $10 and I grab one everytime Im in the area 2x a month as I live 10 miles away. was in new hempstead in long island this past wknd n tried their halal spots but they were so commercial/trash but this rite here is the way better n more for the price this friendly Afghani woman said i need to go to Brooklyn for the best gyro n halal food. Love the beans n the rice, and I like that the salad is super fresh even the next n you have a choice of onion. ??“

“very tasty shawarma I like it ❤️“

“Tuesday Update: got my lamb/chicken over rice w/ white sauce - he forgot the red sauce and my stomach will thank him later.Sunday: I’ve been trying to go prior to Ramadan and it’s just closed. Anyone know what’s going on??

Parking: I park in the 21 bus zone, behind the truck, beside the truck, in front of the truck“

“This is a takeout only Chinese restaurant. You can also order on delivery apps to have a delivery straight to your door. I recommend this Chinese store to anyone. Of course the location is in North Philly but the food and service is great. The owners talk to you. The customer service is exceptional. Don’t take my word for it. Just go there today.“
