Excellent quality halal Mediterranean food…read more The baba ghanoush was fresh, smoky, smooth, and just chunky enough. The hummus was dense and creamy with a silken texture. Falafel was ok. The dolmas were good, packed densely and with lots of flavor packed in. The zaatar manakeesh was light, fluffy, buttery, and topped with an herbaceous, zesty, crispy seasoning. This was insanely good. I made a mistake ordering the Schawerma with salad. I didn't get the intended experience there and it's my fault. But the chicken seemed pretty good. It maybe could have used a little more seasoning and be a bit juicier. But hard to assess without the rice combination. Overall I was very impressed with several of the items in this meal.

We ordered the baba ghanoush for an appetizer and it came with pita bread. Very delicious!! Thin for an entrée, we both ordered a chicken Shawarma! It was very delicious and fresh and the chicken was fresh, cooked to perfection and lovely flavor!! We ordered the strawberry mint lemonade and a regular mint lemonade drink. It is so fashion delicious and exciting and refreshing.. On such a hot summer day, this really was such a perfect meal. And the music was beautiful!! I would love to come back!!

Falafel is something I crave once in a blue, and today, I remembered Bishos was walking distance…read morefrom my house. I had never been there before. I decided to order the viral crispy falafel for myself and a viral crispy chicken shawarma combo for my fiancé from Bishos. I placed my order at 4:06 PM online and walked into the store 20 minutes later. It still wasn't ready so I sat down and enjoyed the lovely ambiance inside. Plenty of seating for customers, an area for photo ops and dates and water for those participating in Ramadan were just some of the perks I noticed. The employees appeared to have been speaking Spanish and they were all friendly with one another. It's clean and airy inside. I definitely want to come back and sit down for a meal. Prices were fair - about $34 for a combo meal (with fries and drink) and my falafel wrap. That includes a service fee and a 10% tip. 15 more minutes had gone by and the woman behind the counter brought my food to me packaged tight inside a brown paper bag. When I arrived at home, that first bite into the viral crispy falafel was unreal. It was so pleasing to hear the crunch, but most importantly, it tasted amazing. The falafel was fresh and so were the other ingredients. My fiancé got the combo with French fries and I can confirm the fries are crispy and seasoned very well. This is my new go-to whenever the taste for falafel hits. Thanks, Bishos!

Unfortunately this was a pretty bad experience. My son's usual halal spot he goes to was closed so…read morewe decided to give this place a try. We ordered 3 platters and they took an hour to receive. We were charged $55 then told we weren't charged for one of the platters and were told we had to pay additional money for the platter. Upon looking at the receipt it does look like one was rang up as $0 but we noticed automatic gratuity when we weren't even served. We got our own drinks and ordered at the cash register so why would we pay gratuity. There was also another fee on there that I'm not even sure what it was. So we ended up paying over $70 for 3 platters. My son's beef was hard and dry. The chicken platters were ok.

I've long let go of the ancient proverb about not judging a book by it's over... in this case by the strip shopping center it's located in. Diana, our director of first impressions and food guide for this dining experience was engaging, smiling and truly excited to converse with us about our Eastern European food experiences throughout the Bulstleton Ave-Philly region. We took a walk through discussion across the menu to understand preparations and which dishes were most recommended to keep ups wanting to come back. So many to select from. We did try a few plates to get the full experience. Opened with a bowl of Mastava soup - ground beef, rice, peppers, carrots and onions, delicous. Wish there were closer to home to pick up on cold days... that good. Next we had a plate of 4 manti's - dumplings with beef, lamb and onions (think of wonton dumpling with meat inside, no soup broth- that would be a soup dumpling). Next, we shared a bowl of plov - slow cooked rice, beef, lamb, carrot and onions. This dish I could have weekly it was that DELICIOUS! We did try one beef kabab, so tender and juicy. I also love Bronzino and could not pass it up. Whole bronzino grilled and in place of french fries the chef did me a solid... stewed tomates and grilled peppers to acompany the fish. If only I could do this at home on my grill... will try. Was delicious. We found a new restaurant to add into our rotation. See our food photos attached and follow me on Yelp for more tasty adventures. What a gem. Thank you Diana. BTW... no alchol (no BYOB) allowed. Parking lot.

Personally, I recommend trying out the sauces (garlic aioli, habanero pineapple, hot sauce) and the different proteins options available (falafel, chicken, steak, and shrimp) and seeing what you like the best. Falafel and shrimp are my personal favorites. Super flavorful. If you're not sure, the guy who works there is very nice and patient and gives good recommendations if you have dietary restrictions or you don't know what sauce would go best with your protein of choice. For those who are new customers, the burger section on the menu isn't available and neither is the barbacoa taco (changes in the menu in progress). Different forms of payment are accepted like cash app, cash, and/or card. I always like recommending this place to my friends :)

We entered on the top level where there other customers seated. There were plenty of empty tables but we were told to go outside and walk around to the lower level to be seated.

We ordered a beef tongue salad- which was surprisingly good, an assortment of meat kebabs and these really good samosa type things stuffed with greens. All of the food was very good.

Imagine our surprise, that while in town for business, and with time to kill before an art exhibition, we discovered an Uzbeki restaurant. Immediately upon entering, we were greeted and led to a large comfortable booth in the back of the restaurant. The lighting was warm, the walls were adorned with beautiful rugs, and the customers' spirits were high. Each table had been pre-set with the resutarant's lovely plates and crystal drinkware. Given that this was our first time at an Uzbeki eatery, we asked our server for some suggestions. Upon doing so, she then asked us if we prefer meat or fish. After perusing the menu a bit more and taking her suggestions into consideration, we had decided to order a wide array of sorts, opting for the pickled herring and potato appetizer, some Tandoori Samsas, a bowl of the Kharcho soup, and an order of the Guyru Dumplings. Our dishes were brought out promptly and our server made sure to check on us periodically throughout our meal, at one point even offering to allow the kitchen to split some of our dishes up for us to make it easier to share with one another. The pallet of flavors we were presented with was colored and wonderful; the pickled hairing playing a perfect duet with the hearty roasted potatoes, pairing well balanced acidity and perfectly crisp potatoey goodness, the kharcho simultaneously lightly spicy and fully refershing with that dill coming throough alongside juiicy chunks of lamb, and the the delectable dumplings, swimming in a flavorful bath of broth and sour cream. As we were nearing fullness, we realized we had forgotten to add one more piece to this meal...the dessert! After this realization, we decided to share a piece of wonderfully sticky Phaklava, adorned with and generously filled with walnuts and golden raisans. Suzani Restaurant is not to be missed. It is a dining experience that makes me feel like you've been invited into someone's home, but also that you are sitting down for a royal banquet.

We pulled into a shopping plaza and saw our destination - Suzani. I had never eaten in an Uzbeki restaurant - our friends, who had eaten there before said "...come hungry!" They recommended a few appetizers - we ordered the Potato with Mushrooms, Eggplant Salad, Achichuk, and Kutab. Let's start with the Potato with Mushrooms - which the menu describes as "Fried Potato Slices with Pan Roasted Mushrooms and Onions. It should say "Potato Chips with Pan Roasted Mushrooms". It was a very unusual dish, to say the least. While the chips were homemade and tasty, having roasted mushrooms and onions with them didn't work at all for me. It was difficult scooping mushrooms onto the chips - and the combination was not that tasty. The mushrooms and onions would have been better by themselves. Once the chips got soggy from the mushrooms, it was very unappetizing. Next, the Eggplant Salad - which was fried eggplant, red and green pepper, tomato, Korean style carrots, garlic and cilantro served in a soy sauce. It tasted fine - I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but the veggies tasted fresh and I had some of the bread they served with it. The next appetizer was Achichuk, which is a traditional Uzbek salad of thinly sliced tomatoes, hot peppers and onions. I did not taste the dish, but was told it was okay for spiced fresh tomatoes. The last appetizer was Kutab - which was a flattened shell, which tasted and resembled the exterior of a fried dumplings, with meat and onions on the inside. It was super thin, and tasted okay. We ordered our main dishes after we finished the appetizers. The couple we were with both ordered the Salmon Kabobs - I tasted the salmon, it tasted good, and was tender. I ordered the Lamb kabobs - the lamb was tender, but it was a little too salty. However, when I had a piece of the lamb with the saffron rice, it diminished the saltiness of the lamb and tasted fine. My partner ordered the Filet Mignon kebab. It did not come with the other 3 orders - the sever said it would be out momentarily. Almost 15 minutes later, I was amazed my partner didn't have her entree! I gave the server a 'look' - she went in the back and FINALLY brought out my partner's dish. The meat (Filet Mignon) was tough and difficult to chew. I took a piece of my Lamb kabob to compare - my lamb was very tender compared to the steak! Not only was the order overly delayed - it was below average. While the other dishes were acceptable - they were mediocre. I would like to point out we were there during the dinner hour and we were the ONLY patrons there during the entire dinner. I wasn't surprised.

One of the best things about this place is how approachable it is. You can usually walk in, grab a seat, or find a spot at the bar without the unnecessary restrictions you might encounter at Zahav, where apparently even ordering a drink at the bar can become an issue. During the day, the space is fantastic. Incredible natural light, a bright and lively atmosphere, and a casual energy that makes you want to stick around. The hummus dishes are excellent, the salads are consistently fresh, and the service is warm and genuinely hospitable. There's nothing overly complicated about what Dizengoff does, and that's precisely the point. Great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and an experience that feels effortless rather than overly orchestrated. I love this place. It's the kind of restaurant that makes you want to come back regularly, not just save it for a special occasion. Sometimes, the less pretentious version really is the better one.
