Lamb Tikka
Lady X.

I've tried Middle Eastern cuisine before, and I'm honestly speechless (It's not a compliment). I placed a order from Ajwa Halal Restaurant through Doordash. I order the Chicken Zinger sandwich with mild sauce & Lamb Tikka. Overall my meal was TOO SPICY !!! Thank God I had 2 bottle waters next to me, I so needed it !!! The Chicken Zinger presentation was decent & taste okay. The sauce had some kick too it, but not overwhelming. I assumed The Lamb Tikka came with a side of rice for 11.99, but I was wrong. Instead it came with a small salad that consist of lettuce and cucumbers. The Lamb Tikka was too spicy, dry & overcooked. I only recieved a couple of pieces of Lamb, which after the 1st two bites the Spice blew me away. Not sure if I would try Ajwa Halal again, barely a 2 star rating...

One of the best places for goat karahi and chicken makhni. A must have with sesame seed naan. The chicken biryani is good too. Call ahed to get your food ready.

Food was well prepared and tasted excellent while they don't have big arrangement for eat in. Not family kind of environment.

The owner sends in a response to the review almost a couple of minutes later stating this. "Yes that's Uber Eats that's what you will get in delivery with 26 dollars thanks for your kind feedback please find us that much food in 26 dollars on third party app like Uber Eats if you can't afford delivery don't get it delivered order it at store and pickup the same food you will get in 18 dollars at store pickup thanks again for your feedback still get us that much food in store pickup in 26 dollars somewhere else As well" The owner is very rude & dishonest. After I had made my review I presume the owner mass reported the review so google's review ai would take it down. Then, the owner floods the comments with positive reviews almost bot like. The quality of food should not matter where it was ordered from whether it was from a third party app or from a pickup order. The issue wasn't where I could not afford the meal, nor was it mentioned in my review above. Quite rude. The portions did not match the price & I had missing items from the order as shown in the image. If you would like to try out a better desi style restaurant I would recommend Kabobeesh.

Great little spot on a street corner in West Philly - the guy there is super friendly and…read moregregarious, and the food is really good. He was more than happy to tell us about all the stuff that he has on the menu, what his recommendations are, and some stories behind it. He was talking to us so much that the people who came in behind us left! It's great that they have a lot of vegan options, including the lassis, which is a complete surprise, and the food was all really good. I ordered crazy chaat, a cardamom lassi, and the chicken naan pizza. Pizza was definitely interesting and flavorful, but I think it doesn't quite hold up that well on the naan bread. Perhaps a bit stronger on the flavor than I was looking for, and I generally don't do too much dairy, so not sure I'll get that again, but I would definitely try some other things, including another lassi. Just about two tables inside, and then a few outside, so not a whole lot of space to eat there, but the food is good. I'll try it again sometime! I think they have a KOP location too!

We ended up coming to Mood after we weren't able to eat somewhere else, and what a little gem we…read morediscovered! We ordered Paneer Tikka Masala, Shahi Paneer, and Garlic Naan, which was quite possibly the best garlic naan we've ever had. Not only was it covered in garlic and butter, but other herbs as well. The Shahi Paneer was also a delicious, rich, creamy sauce, and the owner even custom-made a wonderful hot sauce for me from the Paneer Tikka Masala that was so delicious that I took the extra home. Thanks for such an unexpectedly delicious experience!

I enjoyed every bite but definitely had enough left over to take home for a late dinner. That's always a win! Everything tasted fresh, and the food was prepared efficiently and made to order. The menu is extensive, with plenty of options to satisfy all kinds of tastes. Inside, the restaurant was inviting and pleasant, with a busy but well-organized atmosphere. There were plenty of employees working together to keep up with the busy lunch crowd, and there are great spaces for larger gatherings as well. Overall, a delicious and satisfying lunch with generous portions and fresh food. Definitely a place worth checking out!

Son's friend recommended this place for sandwiches and since he said the onion rings were good that made it a must go to place! We had the: Beef shawarma maroosh style 5/5: The best thing about this humongous sandwiches is the bread is crispy but soft. I was surprised at the price but the sandwich is so big we really could have split one but ordering two left us they both. The beef is so tender it reminded me of chinese beef stew for some reason. Not that it tasted like chinese beef stew but the texture was just so melt in your mouthy! Loved the veggies on it and the sauce! chicken shawarma maroosh style 5/5: Son and DIL loved it here and recommended it. Hubs preferred it cuz he's a chicken fan and loved it for all the same reasons listed above. Onion rings 5/5: Rings were nice and crisp without being overly greasy or fried. It's a nice place with just a couple of booths inside. Originally I was only going to give it 4 stars cuz the way it's set up is weird when they tell you where to stand and where to go...it just didn't feel warm and inviting when you walk in but honestly when I'm in philly again I will make it a point to stop by so that makes it a 5 in my book.

Came here for Dollar Stroll, so take what I say with a grain of salt since I didn't have the full…read moresit-down experience. This is a small mom-and-pop run place, and I saw the kids outside trying to help bring customers in, especially with the Doro Bet line running right in front of their store. But honestly, don't underestimate this little place. THE FOOD IS VERY WELL SEASONED. For Dollar Stroll I got basically a little bit of everything they were offering, including the samosa, pakora, fried chicken, and chicken drumstick. Everything was very fairly priced for the crawl, and since I mostly use these events as a way to find places for future meal planning, I was happy to try a bunch of things. The chicken drumstick was the surprise winner. I took it home and reheated it, and WOW. It was tandoori-style and SO flavorful. Super smoky, with that bright red color that makes you immediately wonder how much seasoning they managed to get into this thing lol. The flavor really went all the way into the meat instead of just sitting on the outside. Really, really good. The fried chicken, though, I'd probably skip. My first piece looked like it was going to be a wing, and then I realized it was basically the spine/tailbone/butt area of the chicken. There was barely any meat on it. Basically fried bone. Usually that's the part of a rotisserie chicken I would just throw away, so getting that as my $1 piece was a little disappointing. If I hadn't gotten several other things, I probably would've been much more annoyed. The veggie pakora was REALLY good. Crispy and savory on the outside, with a flavorful vegetable mixture inside. This is the kind of snack where you can keep eating it because the seasoning is doing all the work. Definitely one I'd get again. The samosa was on the greasier side, but again, very flavorful. Crispy, flaky exterior with a nicely seasoned filling. Not the lightest samosa I've ever had, but definitely not lacking flavor. The store itself is small and pretty unassuming, and you could easily walk right past it. But don't. From a flavor standpoint, this place is STRONG. I didn't get the full restaurant experience, so I can't speak to everything on the menu, but based on what I tried, I definitely want to come back and try an actual meal. Small mom-and-pop spot, big seasoning. The tandoori chicken alone has me curious about what else they're making back there.

I was not impressed with the food. The soup was watery and could have had more veggies…read more I was asked if I liked spicy, which I do, but there was way too much hot pepper. And, the Saag Paneer was unremarkable.
