Halal Restaurants near Swarthmore, PA

“My colleague and I visited this small spot for lunch. The place is cozy, with only five or six tables at most. We were the first customers of the day, but the staff seemed busy preparing catering orders. We had to get their attention a couple of times, but each time the lady in the kitchen responded very kindly. Overall, it felt like an intimate neighborhood dining experience.

We ordered the lunch specials: lamb (around $17) and chicken kebabs (around $16). Each plate came with warm pita bread, hummus, a small appetizer salad, basmati rice, and grilled tomatoes. For the salad, we chose the Greek salad.

The Greek salad was a nice appetizer, and the warm pita bread was a pleasant touch. The hummus tasted house-made. It was thick, rich, and full of nutty flavor. I honestly wished I had bought extra to take home.

I didn’t try the lamb myself, but my colleague really enjoyed it. My chicken kebab was very flavorful, though I wished it had been a bit more tender. The basmati rice paired well with the grilled tomatoes and was quite tasty.

Overall, we had a very satisfying lunch and left feeling full and happy.“

“I ordered a cheese steak and it was my first time eating here so I was a little skeptical however I had the cheese steak and it was by far the best!! I’m from Philly so I’ve had plenty of steaks but this one was top notch!! I will continue ordering from here, the roll was soft, the meat was so tasty and cooked to perfection! I literally ate the entire thing in one sitting which I never do! Can’t wait to go back and try other things on the menu. Also customer service was great!“

“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!“

“Went to Khusbu today and got the Kala Bhuna along with Beef Tehari. The food me reminded of my mom's cooking back home in Bangladesh. It's pretty rare that you get to see Bengali food sold anywhere. I decided to come where with my friend the moment I saw the items. The owner was really good and personable he gave us Malai Tea on the house for us. I recommend you to come here for a taste of Bengali food along with Indian food if that's what you prefer.“

“We’ve been coming here for years. The menu has changed, but the quality has not! From chaat, to lassi, to their desserts… we recommend all of it. One of our favorite places, and we can use uBerEats now so it’s even more convenient!“

“Always delicious! Go eat in with friends or family, it’s a a great deal for the quality and quantity, and great service.

I’ve been here many times and tried at least half the menu. You won’t be disappointed!

The saag paneer, dal makhani, veggie samosas w/ mint and tamarind sauce, and chicken mali kebab are top of my list right now. Can’t wait to go back!“

“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**“

“Best Halal food truck in the city! Even better than some restaurants. 10/10.“

“Milai boti& kabab &tandoori chicken & was really tasty 😋🫡“

“We recently visited Halal Kabab and Curry and had a great experience. The samosas were crispy, the chicken biryani was flavorful, and the butter chicken was rich and creamy. The chicken karahi tasted fresh and authentic, and the butter naan and garlic naan were soft and perfect.

The mango lassi was refreshing, and the kark tea at the end was excellent. Everything felt freshly made, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely a spot worth visiting again!“

“Tuesday Update: got my lamb/chicken over rice w/ white sauce - he forgot the red sauce and my stomach will thank him later.Sunday: I’ve been trying to go prior to Ramadan and it’s just closed. Anyone know what’s going on??

Parking: I park in the 21 bus zone, behind the truck, beside the truck, in front of the truck“

“Stopped by to pick up dinner from this spot. The service is absolutely wonderful
The food was delicious. The young lady Tiffany the counter was very friendly and professional. The manager always greets everyone coming into this restaurant. I would recommend this spot to all my first responder friends.“

“Saad’s has one of the best cheesesteaks in the city. Yes, you heard that right. The halal nature of their cooking means they have the finest meats, cheese, and bread. The steak was very flavorful without the greasy mess that a lot of others have. The fries are amazing, too. The place is a little small so getting it to-go is recommended. All-in-all, you can’t go wrong here.“

“This is hands down my favorite spot to eat in West Philly, maybe even in all of Philly. It’s Lebanese food. They have everything, even desserts hand made there and cafe with coffee etc. (Regular coffee, Turkish coffee, pistachio and rose lattes etc). Every single dish at the restaurant side is amazing, you could order anything and it would be incredible! If you like Lebanese food this is the place to go. Also has a great atmosphere and nice outdoor seating when the weather is good. I can hang out there for hours when I go to eat with friends.“

“I've tried a couple things from here and they're all absolutely mouth-wateringly delicious, made with love. My typical go to is the fish over rice, always super absolutely delicious.

Vegetarian options: Although not listed on menu, he has falafel and fries and it's generous and delicious.

Dietary restrictions: Halal and veg options“

“Absolutely love this food truck. Lamb is so tender and tasty, falafels are really good. They are definitely not stingy at all with the sauces, they load you up. They give you salad and a drink with your meal as well. They have a good lineup of drinks like tahitian drink, different fruity flavors of Sunkist, ginger ales, and more. They also sell fish, chicken tenders, Italian sausage sandwiches, hot dogs, mozzarella sticks, and more. Their sweet corn nuggets are so good! Service is always great, very nice and friendly people. Good location too, it’s a great way to attract people by parking on the corner of a busy street, there’s plenty of room to go and wait. Overall love this truck.“

“I’m not here to rate customer service because if the food is good I could care less about anything else. Say that to say this. Best Asian food in Delco!“

“I had the pleasure of trying both the gyro and the pizza here, and I must say, they were delicious! The flavors were fresh and authentic, clearly made with care. What really stood out was the hospitality the owner and the cook are incredibly friendly and welcoming. It’s always a great experience to enjoy tasty food served with genuine kindness. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for fresh halal food and excellent service!“
