“This is some real excellent food for such a cheap price. Definitely a neighborhood gem,
Never tried Yemen food but it was delicious! Bread was huge and tasty with addicting fluffiness, meat was tender and well spiced, specially the lamb dish!! Must try. Walked out the door unbuttoning our pants, despite being 3 of us for just $45. Just insane.“

“We went here to pick up a baklava tray and ended up staying for dinner. Best, creamiest hummus we’ve ever tasted! The chicken was delicious and the bread was wonderful. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Best baklava in Philadelphia. Can’t wait to return and bring our family.“

The shawarma had a perfectly flaky crust and the chicken was perfectly cooked.

The hospitality was also great. You can believe the hype. This place is a gem of Philadelphia.“

PS: They do NOT serve alcohol. The policy is BYOB!“

“Ordered through DoorDash later in the day and after I put in the order, they called to let me know one of my items was out of stock. I got a refund for it, and still received my plov, which was sooo good. They included extras to make up for the item missing. Great food, great customer service. I’ll be ordering again very soon!“

“В первую очередь хочу выразить огромную благодарность Шефу и Кристине. Очень прекрасные люди. Встретили нас прекрасной улыбкой и шикарным меню. У нас был банкет и они действительно сделали все на высшем уровне. Кухня очень вкусная, этот вкус, ну просто не передать словами, это просто нудно попробовать, а также сервис прекрасный, люди такие приятные, подобрали нам отличное меню. У них очень приемлимые цены. Я желаю им в дальнейшем еще больше процветания. С удовольствием туда вернусь. Спасибо огромное ресторану Tblisi ❤️❤️“

The restaurant is now under new management and we look forward in servicing the neighbors with some of the highest quality food and fastest delivery. We want to assure the best service so feel free to reach out with any complaints or comments to make your experience better.Thank you“

“I was missing my partner, who is Turkish and lives in Turkey. So I went to Ramiz to reminisce of my times in Turkey with her. I arrived pretty early on a Saturday evening, so the restaurant had few people. I splurged on the Mixed Grill entree. Service was spectacular and the food was really good! (I can’t really publicly say better than my Turkish Partner’s cooking. ?)“

“Food is really good but actually find that Temple location has a slight edge on this location. The setup is similar to Chipotle
but with Mediterranean food. Entree options are chicken, beef, roasted veggies, or falafel. Several toppings and sauces take these entree options to the next level. Service needs to step it up.

Vegetarian options: Two of the four build your own options are vegetarian“

“Interesting menu. The food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend if you’re in Philadelphia. The Turkish dumplings are AMAZING !“

“After a workout, my friend and I were starving for a place with good food and prices. We wanted gyro over rice and this place stood out from the others. So we came here and were treated amazingly. The guys working here were busy, even though they were busy they made sure to take out order down while prepping other food. The wait wasn't long about 5 minutes and we got our food steaming hot the exact way we wanted. We found a place to eat and tore up the food, it met all of our expectations and it was cheap. You should definitely check this place out 10/10“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“very tasty shawarma I like it ❤️“

“Extremely friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious and wouldn’t hesitate to visit again when in Philly.“

“Best most authentic shawerma in the entire northeast. Must try!“

“I have been going to Makkah Market since I was 6 and I love everything about this Market. Feels like home, I purchase groceries, books, hot meals, send money back home,abayas & hijabs. The kindest souls works here! The halal meat sold here smells so fresh to me. You can tell the animals are healthy and well taken care for before being slaughtered and packaged up to sell.“
