I'll start with the service, this was exceptional, I appreciate our waiter and all the recommendations and just his general attitude and welcoming energy. It makes such a difference. Restaurant is bigger inside than I thought, but has a very comfy vibe. The food was not bad- lentil soup, wings, beef and chicken shawarma sandwiches (they use hoagie bread not a pita style bread). I was starving and it did the job! read more

We had an amazing experience here at Bon Kif Grill while visiting Philly. The food is delicious, service by Abdelahmid - exemplary, and the atmosphere is cozy and nice, with the front open to the street which is quite nice. They have outdoor seating too. Very cute, authentic place with amazing service and great food at great prices. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely amazing service. My friends and I popped in for a quick dinner and were amazed by the incredible hospitality. We were given a free appetizer of a couple mezzes and a basket of bread and to finish we were given free Moroccan mint tea which tasted exactly like the morrocan mint tea I had IN Morocco! As for the food my friends LOVED the chicken shawarma plate which was a generous portion of food. I had the hummus on our server's recommendation (I'm actually not the biggest fan of hummus so I literally don't know why I go it lol). It didn't turn me into a hummus lover but portion was very generous again and I got it with lamb chunks, which were a little tough and chewy and a little too meaty in flavor for me. It seems their shawarma plates are where it's at so GET THAT! Also random side I appreciated they had a bidet in their bathroom lol So despite the fact I personally wasn't the biggest fan of the dish I had(definitely my own fault I should've picked something more suited to my personal palate instead of being experimental), I think all the other elements of this restaurant really made it stand out for the above and beyond hospitality and waitstaff hence the five stars! read more

The food was delicious but I think I'd order online next time. I think they have a new system because the listed sides on the menu were not an option to order. We also had a little trouble with our order- we tried to get a double platter but it seems like what came out were single orders. I was impressed that they stamped the dinner rolls with a design and the dipping sauce for the bread was heavenly. I got a mint lemonade that was super sweet but still tasty. The meat was a bit over cooked and I wish there were more veggies. read more

Bon Kif Grill - Lamb Chop - Mediterranean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Great food, super kind service, a well decorated place. Came for lunch and started off with the baba ghanoush and coffee. The baba ghanoush was delicious and plentiful with fleshly baked pita bread and a side selection of dips. The coffee was a strong traditional Arabic coffee served in a pretty cup. Then as an entree we had the chicken shawarma platter that served two. The rice was well seasoned, the vegetables were soft and delicious, and the chicken was perfectly tender and flavorful. Before we left we were unexpectedly given complimentary hot tea and wished a happy New Year. 10/10 experience, comfortably spent more time here than I expected to, and will be back! read more

Bon Kif Grill - Chicken Shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This was the best halal restaurant I've ever been to. The doors were open, allowing the Philly atmosphere to blend in with the rich Mediterranean culture. Fahti was our waiter and he was beyond phenomenal. He's very social and entertaining and is great if you need recommendations from the menu. His hospitality and generous personality drew in a crowd to come feast at this amazing restaurant. He was even offering us food on the house, great hospitality. He was the best waiter I've ever had and definitely deserves a raise for all the hard work he contributes to this business. I will be returning without a doubt to eat here again and be a guest of Fahti's generous hospitality. The food was also phenomenal too, the shawarma was delicious, the vegetarian meals looked great, and they have a variety of meals to choose from based on what food you can eat. read more

I paid $26 for this Kabob Beef . Only a few beef cube with rice and veggie. The beef were dried and tough. Did they make a mistake ? Or is it really $26 for this? Not worth it read more

Absolutely perfect eating experience on South street today. Fathi served delicious food, with free additions, including fries, excellent dips and fresh bread, mint tea afterwards.

Another stellar dinner at Bon Kif! Everything was perfection, from the homemade lentil soup to the delicious branzino. Fathi is a wonderful host and always has excellent recommendations. read more

Don't walk- run to this restaurant- first of all, it is so cute and clean inside. Second of all the surface was immaculate. The food is a combination of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods. I finally had the koshary which is a popular Egyptian food and I loved it! The fries were delicious, but I ate it before I took a picture of it lol. The Moroccan tea at the end was a perfect finish. This will be my go to spot as well as a catering spot for me. read more

The food here is excellent, and the service is really welcoming. I came with a group of 8 people, and we shared some appetizers: hummus, grape leaves, fattoush, falafel. Then we all ordered separate main courses. The food was plentiful and delicious. After dinner, we had a complimentary mint tea. The owner was very kind and accommodating. read more

Food was alright (hummus lacked seasoning)but portion size for what you pay is lacking. I paid $20 for this appetizer. Pita is yum though!!! read more

Bon Kif Grill - hummus Hummus with Beef and almonds App - Mediterranean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I took a chance and came here with no reviews on Yelp. Before we ordered, they brought fresh bread and garlic sauce. As soon as I broke open the roll and took a bite, I knew the food would be good. We had the bon kif shish tawook sandwich and the chicken schwarma plate. Both were incredible! We also recommend the fresh squeezed lemonade. Give this place a try, it won't disappoint! read more

Had a solo Saturday lunch here and had a great experience. My server was incredibly friendly and inviting. I had the Veggie Ghallaba (generous portions) with rice pilaf and grilled veggies. They served it with some of the best Homemade rolls I've ever had and a spicy garlic sauce. At the end of the meal the host brought me some warm mint tea. All of that for around $20. Great place highly recommend read more

Wonderful service and a great place to dine in or order out. I had been ordering from Bon Kif for the past year and finally dined in the other night with my boyfriend. We had a nice time and the food was great. read more

Excellent grape leaves, tabbouleh, mousaka, and other dishes. Kind service by a true neighborhood family business.

Outstanding meal! Take my word for it...get the lamb chops! But everything was just superb. Don't forget the garlic sauce too! Bon Kif is a must visit when you're visiting south street!!! Welcomed addition to our neighborhood!!! read more

i don't know if i am just a late eater or what but i found myself with a hankering for some shawarma on a late sunday night in Philly and looked and looked and couldn't really find an option. i eventually found Bon Kif was nearby and had my order. I have never really had any exposure to Tunisian cuisine but that is their specialty and they had what I wanted. I ordered a couple orders of chicken shawarma and an order of hummus and placed my order through grub hub and waited for it to be ready for pickup. it was ready fairly quickly about twenty minutes and i walked and picked it up and ran home to enjoy. it came with rice some vegetables and a few pieces of bread i am not exactly sure what they were. not pitas but sort of similar. small round flat rolls with some sesame seeds they were tasty and i am sure they were probably a northern african baked specialty. everything was good well seasoned and cooked well. the hummus was good too and a good addition to add some extra liquid component to the meal. the restaurant wasn't very crowded but i went late on a cold wet sunday night so not very surprising. it was clean and the staff was nice and everything was pretty good. i will say it sort of on the smaller side for portion size which was fine but compared to some other spots could be something to think about in terms of price to portion size. i was happy though and enjoyed the meal. read more

This newish spot on South Street was so great! It's very clean, relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a date or casual meal. Staff were friendly and welcoming- great service. Food was excellent, cooked fresh as we waited- so it was hot and tasty. Large portions so we had to go boxes for leftovers. Complimentary hot tea and dessert were served- such a nice touch.

Fathi, amazing service and person!! He went far and beyond to make our dinner date unforgettable. His passion for the place and food made the night complete. My parents in law are picky eaters and they said that was the best food they had outside the house!! Thank you so much Fathi and Bom Kif for the super delicious food, service and atmosphere!!! We'll be back!! read more

We ate here with our picky 7 year old. The food was fantastic. We had the meat shawarma, the falafel, and the lamb chili. All were excellent and the prices were reasonable. Our picky child loved everything, and he asked for his own cup of the lamb chili. If you go, I'd highly recommend the lamb chili. The broth was amazing, and the lamb was soft and not gamy. read more

Excellent food. The homemade pita bread is positively delicious. It has a wonderful taste and a pleasant crunch on the crust. The service was also excellent - Hassin was very attentive but not overly solicitous. We enjoyed our visit very much and will definitely come back. read more

The lamb was great. The meal didn't come with pita bread even though we paid for it. Baba gounoush and humus were very mediocre. The bread that it did come with was terrible. read more

Wow what a treat. Such delicious Tunisian food and very clearly made with love. The service was fantastic.

Bon Kif Grill is a wonderful addition to Philadelphia's South Street restaurant scene with its Mediterranean/Tunisian cuisine, done perfectly. To start us off the service was prompt and very pleasant with the freshly-baked pita rolls served warm, along with delicious garlic cream. We lunched on Chicken and Almond Hummus, along with Spinach Pies which were served on a bed of dressed, fresh greens and tomatoes. All seasonings were exquisitely done. (As one who has traveled to this region of the world, I thought that this meal saved the price of the plane ticket.) The comfortable, soft leather seating, interesting regional art and deep wood tables made this a pleasant space in which to dine. Also, it was important to the thoughtful owner that we were pleased with the meal. Highly recommended! read more

Lovely light lunch (2 appetizers) served promptly and with care. Genial owner host. House made stamped rolls with garlic cream was delicious and welcoming. We live out in the 'burbs but I'm going to recommend this place to city friends. We might even make it a destination for dinner. read more

Discovered this new restaurant by accident--lucky us! Terrific veg combo: hummus, tabouli, falafel, plus crushed lentil soup. All delicious, as well as baklava and Arabic coffee. Super attentive service and pleasant ambience. Everyone should check this place out so we can continue to have it around! read more

Amazing food. Owner is very nice and accommodating . They are new go check them out !

The food was very good. The service was excellent and very friendly. We went here to try something different and were very pleasantly surprised. The owner described the food as Tunisian, Algerian and Moroccan Mediterranean cuisine. We had Tunisian pita which is more like a soft roll but very good. They serve it with what they call a garlic sauce; which is more like a mayonnaise but again very good. I had the lamb chops with grilled vegetables and rice. My wife had the Mediterranean sea bass with same sides; again so delicious! Definitely will be back. The portions were just right and priced reasonably. If you're looking for something different this is a great place to try. Oh, and the tea served at the end with mint and pine nuts might be the best tea I've ever had. read more
