I've been working next to this place for years and never tried them out. I must say that even tho it's not much to look at the food is delicious! I'm mad at myself for not trying them out sooner! The food speaks for itself and they give you a nice portion size for the money. The staff was cool so I didn't have any complaints about this place. I'll be back on my lunch break at

WNY RESTAURANT CLOSED???
Humaira
Kabobeesh is moving to a new location. Apparently this location at (42nd chestnut) is closed and the restaurant operations will be paused for a month. The new location is 3748 Lancaster Ave, will be open at the beginning of Feb. Even though we will miss the old Kabobeesh location after their 20+ of service, we are excited to experience what the new Kabobeesh holds for us. Wishing you all the luck! See you guys soon ❤️

I have been here like 7 times since I moved to the neighborhood (I moved 3 weeks ago). They have a buy one get one free deal on uber so their meals usually lasts me for 2 meals. It is absolutely fire quality and I would come here everyday if I was around the area that often. Would recommend anyone trying it out even without the BOGO deal

I ordered food by Uber eats from this store. Chicken biryani which they had promotion about buy one get one free . The biryani was not good . They made one box biryani in to two boxes. That’s mean they are not giving us any buy one get one free biryani . They didn’t give salad with the biryani. Other food and drink that I ordered with the biryani they were overall so so.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the menu situation here: prices neatly printed right next to each item, yet when the bill arrives, those numbers have apparently gone on vacation. Different prices, same font. It’s like the menu is playing a little game called “Guess How Much This Actually Costs.” Bold strategy. Let’s see if it pays off.
On to the main event: Chicken Biryani.
Spice levels are, of course, subjective. Some of us grew up treating chili like a food group; others treat it like a fire alarm. This biryani firmly falls into the “ring the alarm” camp. We handled it just fine, but if you’re not already on a first-name basis with extreme heat, proceed with caution and a glass of milk on standby.
The good news? Zero off-putting poultry smell. Huge win, and honestly the bare minimum one should expect, but we’ll take the victories where we can get them.
The not-so-good news: this is quite clearly Shaan/National masala mix stirred together with a generous handful of fresh mint and parsley. Look, I’m not here to shame anyone for using commercial spice blends. Many respected spots (and plenty of mid-tier ones) do it. The difference is that the pros manage to hide the evidence. Here, the premix flavor announces itself like it’s walking onto stage with a microphone: “Hello, Philadelphia! I’m store-bought and proud!”
The rice was dry, the chicken solidly average, and the overall effect felt like someone followed the back-of-the-box instructions faithfully but forgot to add soul.
Sixteen dollars for this biryani in Philly? Respectfully, no. Nothing about the dish or the place screams “premium” loud enough to justify that tag. We’re not asking for gold leaf and truffles; just something that feels like effort was involved.
Not everything can be perfect, and I get it: like most Desi spots, the primary goal here seems to be profit over perfection. Fair enough. Business is business. But if you’re going to boast about how amazing your food is, maybe make sure it’s at least a little amazing? Subpar with swagger is a tough sell.
Can they do better? Absolutely. Will they? My money’s on “probably not.”
Still, check it out and decide for yourself. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you about the spice or the surprise pricing.

Overpriced food with little to no taste. I don't know what changed from 3 years ago. They were better before now their food is completely trash. Bye.

Overall my experience with Egg I’m Late was moderate. The service was okay, but there were some areas that could be improved. I was a bit confused about the $7.99 charge I received and wasn’t sure why it applied. Aside from that, the place has potential, and with a few improvements in customer service and clarity on charges, it could offer a much better experience

If you’re looking for the most authentic chai in Philly, look no further. Trust me, we love it so much we got a whole pitcher of it! Ten out of ten recommend for the most authentic south Asian cuisine experience in West Philly!
Very bad food and service. They overcharged and mixed up customer receipt and add extra charges that should not be there. Actually deserved 0 stars. Worst night ever

Great chicken karah, resham kababs and freshly baked naan. Lunch counter is fast to go and the aloo-baigan curry is delicious. Mango lassi must order.
