Halal Restaurants in Philadelphia, PA

“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!“

“The food is delicious, the smoothies always hit, and the customer service is fantastic. They're always quick and helpful when you're placing your order and I have not had a single bad experience the whole 30+ times we've gone there.

Calling ahead during the winter months has been good for us too!
Highly recommend their chicken tenders with fries (top tier) and their fruit smoothies.
My husband is a big fan of their chicken over rice and also their smoothies.
We also usually call ahead which helps plenty with any wait time.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this place woondal“

“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.“

“I've been eating from the trucks in this area for 5 years now and Nafi Food Express has become my favorite truck in the area. First, the owners of the truck are particularly friendly and generous to people in this area. Next, I absolutely love their chili chicken over rice. It is extremely flavorful and quite spicy. It's a refreshing and lighter alternative to the heavier foods served by trucks around this area. I can't recommend this dish enough. I also enjoy the $1 naan. I consider it a pleasure to recommend this food truck to people in the area.“

“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.“

“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**“

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

“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.“

“Great food! Great service!“

“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.“

“I tried their lamb over rice and fried chicken with fries they all tasted fantastic. The fried chicken had so much flavor with the skin really crispy and flavorful. Lamb over rice was very good too. Prices were very reasonable with a lot of food. Customer service is well and people were very friendly. If in Philadelphia, this is a must try.“

“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!“

“The food is amazing..now I have been frequenting 2 trucks since the early 80's and the service has never change, the Food has changed slightly, but for the better. He has the chix pea salad that is amazing...I always get falafel over rice with lots of salad. My favorite. My kids get shrimp and chicken over rice...we Love it..forgot to me tonight the cooks are super friendly. Going hete is like going to the Barbee shop or nail salon..they listen and converse with you. Great food and Great Conversation 👍🏽 👌🏾 😀 😋“

“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“

“I always like the option of a “24 hour” restaurant even though I went during the early evening/dinnertime. They have a traditional Uzbek menu, including plov, samsas and soups. There’s a convenient central Asian 24 hour grocery shop a few storefronts down also. Definitely check it out!“

“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“

“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!“

“delicious samosas and beryani“

“I'm 96 and have been going to Wonder in Ardmore since it opened. I walked there from my apartment and love doing that. Then comes old man winter and I couldn't, so on and off I get delivery. Can't wait until nice weather to take my walk and have lunch at Wonder“

“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.“

“TRUST ALL THE 5 STAR REVIEWS!!! I have passed by this place on my way to work and back home again everyday for as long as it's been open. For whatever reason I never decided to stop. I pulled up around 8:30pm which is just a half hour until they close and had no issue getting served. I got the lamb over rice and it was absolutely amazing. The white sauce is soooooo good. The man running the place seemed like a nice guy too. I'm not one to take the time to write a review, but this food was so good that I felt it necessary to leave one. I can say for certain that I will now be a regular here. Enjoy!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We had lunch at Barakat Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious! I loved the Chicken Shawarma. My husband got the samsa and plov, and he really enjoyed them too. I definitely recommend checking it out! Plus, the service was super fast. The ambience is nice, a recently updated place. Perfect for lunch or dinner, but not necessarily a special occasion.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Got me some chicken and a few beef patties. The store was clean and organized. The staff was very nice and funny. He had me and my wife laughing. The food was good n hot he made us some fresh patties and two extra chicken wings. All the service was good . No problems here“

“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.“

“very tasty shawarma I like it ❤️“
