“First time at the Ale House and we were really happy we went! Great bartenders/waitstaff, delicious portions of Fish & Chips and Roast Beef Sandwich w/ skinny fries, sadly we didn't save room for dessert. Definitely a sports bar vibe w/ 8 big screen TVs in the bar area. Did not get a look at the dining room but it seems to be a good size.
Will absolutely be back!“

“Amazing food and friendly staff in a great, relaxed atmosphere. I spent nearly 3 hours there catching up with my roommate from college. We ate, we talked, we ate, we laughed, we ate some more. Wonderful place!“

“Buck a schuck oysters, double braised short rib over rigatoni, key lime pie and even got a hug from the beautiful Solidea D! Everything was exquisite. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“This Mom and Pop halal restaurant is located inside a gas station, but don't let that dissuade you. The food is absolutely delicious, and the service is top-notch. I felt welcomed the moment I walked in. The meat was tender and spiced to perfection, laid over a bed of freshly made curry rice. I had been searching for great halal food for a long time and was elated to find it here.“

“Aria’s is fantastic, every item I’ve gotten from their menu has been full of flavor and so delicious! My favorites are the chicken kebab, lamb gyro, hummus, babaghanoush, baklava, and cucumber salad. I try to get something new as an entree each time I visit. The service is wonderful and everyone who run the restaurant are so kind and generous, thank you so much ???!

Parking: There is plenty metered parking on the street and in a parking lot directly across the street that is free at certain times.“

“Great experience going into the store! I ordered door dash waited a hour and food never left the store. I gave up and drove there and was greeted by Najeb. I was so angry when I arrived and he completely changed my experience. Since my food was sitting out he offered to make everything fresh. Cause of him I’ll be a regular. The lamb meatballs are delicious.“

“What a hidden gem! We had the BEST dinner sitting on the rooftop tonight. The chicken za’tar & greek salmon were delicious; also highly recommend the Mediterranean Duo. Our waiter Mikel was so friendly, attentive and accommodating. All around a great experience.“

“I had a great experience at the Cava Germantown location! The food was fresh and flavorful as always, but I have to give a special shoutout to Artese. His energy, attention to detail, and generous servings really stood out. You can tell he takes pride in making sure people leave satisfied. Definitely made my visit feel more personal and worth it. Appreciate you, Artese!“

“Very authentic Yeeroh (Pork) drove over 1hr from south Jersey and it was worth the trip !“

“Cava is one of my favorite fast-casual spots! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and customizable to whatever mood I’m in — whether I want something light and healthy or more hearty and satisfying. I love their variety of Mediterranean-inspired options, from the perfectly seasoned proteins to the fresh toppings and delicious dressings“

“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!“

“Friendly, clean, and delicious. I’m not a picky person, so when I saw that they finally opened an Halal spot in Franklin Mills mall, I was hype. We went here before the movies and the girls were so attentive and nice. Highly recommended. Will come back and it’s my first time!“

“I was visiting Villanova and a good friend brought me to Nova Grill. The owner was over the top nice and accommodating. His Greek Hospitality did shine. Instantly felt like a regular. The place was spotless and well set up. All cleanliness and proper measure were followed perfectly. The food was plentiful, cooked and presented well and hot ( often forgot these days). The Locaniko ( Loukaniko) was spot on in flavor. I will most definitely stop in again when in the area. Highly recommended.“

“Had lunch there after not being in area for several years. owner and server were very friendly, interactive re their menu and the style of the cuisine. Nice people. The food was tasty, attractive,“

“Whenever we are at kop mall,mezeh is our first choice to eat.Being vegetarian i enjoy there food,lots of veggies with falafel.Today for me the bowl was too dry to eat.We end up throwing half bowl.I am not sure if i can go back and ask for extra sauce.“

“The best sujukh in USA. And very delicious lahmajun which is one of two productions available on the East coast, for the residents of NJ and NY.
The life is becoming expensive, the prices are going up everywhere. So the box of dozen became 10. That's ok, that's understandable.
But ... don't downsize and don't skimp on the meat.“

“Great food � great service � I Love this place It has a great atmosphere I highly recommend it �“

“The service was wonderful. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was pretty authentic. We were in town for a doctors appointment we live in Delaware so this was long drive away and totally worth the drive to go back. The food was fantastic.“

“I traveled from Ann arbor for the weekend and wanted to visit Lourdas. I hadn't been there for years but it is as lovely and inviting as it was years ago. We had grilled Octopus salad and soupa avgolemono. Then we had shrimp Lourdas and lamb chops. They were both delectable. We took baklava and galactobureko home for dessert. The staff were attentive and patient and the other patrons seemed to be regulars with a few newbies here and there. I can't wait to go back!!“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere, great live music. Bar tender and servers were awesome too.“

“The service, food and drinks are always on point. The have a wonderful for private room for events.“

“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!!“

“Absolutely the best kabab in Philadelphia and South Jersey area! Everything is halal. High quality rice and meats. They also have a lot of middle eastern and Persian spices and items for sale. We tried mixed kababs are ground beef, chicken pieces, and lamb pieces. They all tasted authentic and similar to what you get in Iran.“
