Middle Eastern Restaurants near Lafayette Hill, PA

“Authentic food , clean promises, great location“

“We ate here for the first time and I think this is the best place I’ve ever eaten. The staff was super friendly, they were very accommodating to my gluten allergy, and the food portions were huge. I really enjoyed everything. I wish they would open a restaurant on the Florida Panhandle or honestly anywhere within 8 hours drive of us.“

“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**“

“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“

“I love meditation food and this is not an exception. My friend and I stopped by around 9pm for dinner. I ordered lamb plate and it was great. Good portion size as well. The owner was a full of humors too. Great place to have some authentic meditation food.“

“The owner was so nice! We had the lamb gyro and chicken kabob and a mini sampler. All was delicious.“

“Amazing place, delicious food, fun atmosphere and reasonable prices“

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

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

“New York Gyro is a standout — full 5 stars! The food is excellent: juicy, well-spiced chicken & lamb gyros with fresh veggies, creamy tzatziki, and that perfect NYC street flavor. Portions are generous and everything tasted super fresh.
Service was fast and friendly — quick smiles and orders out in no time. Atmosphere is classic halal cart style: clean, casual, bustling energy that feels authentically New York.
Great value for a satisfying, flavorful meal. One of the best gyros in the city — 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.“

“Hadramout is one of my favorite places in west Philly to get food from!! The food is amazing, well priced, and the service is phenomenal. Every time I go there I feel as if I was eating in the comfort of my own home!! If you ever pass by I highly recommend you grab a bite to eat!“

“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!“

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

“This is hands down my favorite spot to eat in West Philly, maybe even in all of Philly. It’s Lebanese food. They have everything, even desserts hand made there and cafe with coffee etc. (Regular coffee, Turkish coffee, pistachio and rose lattes etc). Every single dish at the restaurant side is amazing, you could order anything and it would be incredible! If you like Lebanese food this is the place to go. Also has a great atmosphere and nice outdoor seating when the weather is good. I can hang out there for hours when I go to eat with friends.“

“Please come see these guys. The food is a 10 out of 10, the portion is a 10 out of 10, the price is a 10 out of 10. I travel all over the United States. I'm usually in a different state every week and it is very hard for me to find this type of food. I usually have to travel to New York City. I have only good things to say about these gentlemen. I was blown away. They even took a picture with me lol.“

“Absolutely Amazing!“

“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.“

“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.“

“delicious samosas and beryani“

“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!!!“

“I have never! given anyone a 5 start review but I have to sayyy this is the best vegan shawarma I have ever had in my life! Omg the falafel was crunchy and that isn’t easy to come by the hummus the cucumbers cabbage everything blended so well together was so flavorful I am in absolute love and will be returning“

“Highly recommended for good eats!“

“Lovely place,Gd Location Nice Corner Store. Lots Of Dates And Veriety Fresh Meat And Even Hv Mini Diner With Tasty Lamb ,Middle East Cuisine Eatery.Went Here @End 2012. Reminds me Supermarket in Mekkah Itself, And ThenIt Is Just Across The Road To Masjid👍👍👍“

“This place was a short walk from my hotel so I came here a few times. It's named Ed's on the outside. They have halal options and the food was great! I tried a variety of stuff from here and each one did not disappoint. If you want a good halal cheesesteak come here. It's always busy and filled with college kids. The staff is also nice!“

“very tasty shawarma I like it ❤️“

“A colleague recommended me this place and I decided to finally go try it for lunch. I got the chicken shawarma bowl and it was absolutely delicious and fulfilling. Portions are just right, not too much not too little. Ingredients tasted fresh despite having picked up this order. Much better than Chipotle by miles despite the slightly higher price point, there needs to be more NAPAs opening outside of major cities.“

“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!!“
