“Love it, Love it, Love it. Everything on the menu is delicious and healthy. The staff is amazing. Friendly and fast. You can not go wrong!!“

“Nice neighborhood bar. Everyone was super nice and chill. Tried the kettle espresso martini after having dinner at the new Japanese restaurant next door. Bartender turned up the volume to the Juke box while we played Christmas songs. We also had big fat steak fries and tater tots which were pretty damn good! They have a casino skill game machines to play at which was cool so there was plenty of action going on!“

“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!“

“Love this place. The food is AMAZING!! 🤩“

“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!“

“Certainly! Here’s a polished and more detailed version of your review:

I had an outstanding experience at a meticulously clean CAVA location. The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and pleasant visit, with special recognition for the manager on duty, Paul.

Paul demonstrated remarkable professionalism, attentiveness, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. Whether it was overseeing operations or interacting with guests, his efforts to create a welcoming atmosphere did not go unnoticed. It’s refreshing to visit a place where both the quality of the food and the level of service are held to such high standards.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great meal with an equally excellent dining experience!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!“

“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.“

“Waiter was great....humus ...great variety and absolutely delicious....I had the lamb dish and it was good...pulled lamb....my niece had chicken and my sister said it was quite succulent.Dhe had a fish dish that she ate completely and like. Price was great we had a flourless chocolate cake that we all shared and did not finish. It was quite rich. Good experience..we got there right after opening but it filled up quickly. It's worth a try.

Vegetarian options: Not a wide variety for dinner...only pasta“

“We recently decided to grab CAVA on our way home, and the first CAVA we went to we did not have a good experience so we decided to just walk out and drive to the nearest CAVA which was 20 minutes away and when we arrive to the other location, which was this location, they were getting ready to close the store, but the employees were very welcoming and kind and took our order right away and even gave a sample pita chips to our kids to try just in case if they didn’t like it and we just decided to let them know how great they are doing and how wonderful we felt once we felt the CAVA hospitality. We just appreciate the fact that they made us feel appreciated and valued. I knew they was tired because it was close to closing time but they still shared a smile with us. Jeniah and Devin really blessed us. Praying for an abundance of favor and blessings over them and the establishment!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“very friendly, delicious food, 5 stars!“

“As a regular at Cava Glen Mills, I can confidently say this location is fantastic

The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. My go-to is the Honey Harissa Chicken bowl - it’s absolutely amazing! The chicken is tender, with just the right amount of spice.

The staff here is what truly makes the experience special. Michelle, Autumn, and Dabrin are fantastic. Their friendly demeanor and excellent customer service make my experience top notch.

If you’re looking for consistently delicious food and a team that goes above and beyond, Cava Glen Mills is a great location.“

“We have been searching for a local Mediterranean place and let me tell you, we have FOUND it! We ordered a lot to really get a feel for it: The mini sampler (comes with falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, and dolmas) Mixed kebabs (chicken, kafta, lamb) Chicken shawarma Baklava Genuinely nothing was bad. The mixed kebabs were grilled to perfection, all entrees come with delicious yellow rice, a slice of pita with hummus on it, and a salad. And the mini sampler is the best! You get a little bit of everything. All tasty. Whether you like eating everything separately, or mixing it all together, I don’t think you can go wrong with anything here. I also got baklava and it sometimes isn’t my favorite because some places put extra honey, but I’m not kidding when this was the BEST baklava I’ve ever had. And it was my fiancé’s first time trying baklava and he mentioned it might now be a top 10 dessert for him! The owner and workers are so kind too! We will definitely be back.“

“All the food is super fresh, and absolutely delicious!!!“

“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.“

“Top of the line cuisine!!“

“My husband and I loved the food. He has some food intolerances, but could eat everything they. They knew their ingredients well, so he didn't need to be concerned. It's going to be our go-to restaurant when we're in that area.“

“Ordered the Adana Kebab, three appetizer mix, and the sigara boregi (cheese filled pastry) and loved everything! The Carrot dip was amazing. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. The little market has a great selection of spices and other Turkish staples!“

“I’ve been coming here most days for lunch and getting a junior bowl for $7. It’s the perfect amount of food for lunch and the ingredients are top quality. It would be hard to find a deal like that elsewhere and everything is always delicious. The employees have all been really nice to me as well“

“delicious! we tried a little of everything.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Excellent food! Highly recommended.“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“This place always hits the spot. Excellent, quality food, good prices, friendly staff. The yogurt sauce is top tier with these kabobs. The Doner Sandwich was the perfect lunch today. And the portions are perfect!

Don't sleep on this place, they're serving up fantastic food. 10/10.“

“very good food would come back. I got the chicken over rice and it was delicious with the salad. It was so good and The chef makes the sauce on top homemade and it is delicious Recommend going definitely coming back.

Kid-friendliness: This place was amazing. The food was delicious. Good prices definitely would recommend and would come back.“
