Food was incredible, service was stellar and I loved this style of eating. Lots of choices and a fun experience. Loved everything!

A wonderful dinner to celebrate my son's birthday. Service was outstanding. Made the experience all the better. Started out with cocktails and some happy hour à la cart items. All great. Really enjoyed the signature cocktails. The fries and the chicken wings are a must. We got an array of dishes including the swordfish, dorado, portobello mushroom, and the ribeye for 2. I think they knock it out of the park with the fish and the sauces. So good. And of course we finished with the soft service. Got some of each. It's a great way to wrap up a fabulous dinner. read more

If you're coming here for the hype, you might leave a little disappointed. Laser Wolf has a fun, casual atmosphere with plenty of bar seating, and the staff was friendly throughout our visit. We started with the Salatim, and while the variety of spreads and salads was fresh and enjoyable, the pita was surprisingly underwhelming. It tasted more like premade pita than something fresh, which was disappointing since it's such a big part of the meal. For our mains, we ordered the Chicken Shishlik and the Romanian Beef Kebab. The chicken was the biggest letdown of the night it was tender but lacked flavor. The beef kebab, on the other hand, was juicy, well-seasoned, and easily the better choice. Oddly enough, the French fries ended up being the best thing we ate all night. They were perfectly crispy and honestly some of the best fries I've had in Philly. Dessert was another disappointment. For a restaurant at this price point, having only two soft-serve ice cream desserts felt lazy and like an afterthought. Overall, the food wasn't bad, but nothing besides the fries and beef kebab really stood out or made me want to come back. In a city like Philadelphia, where there are so many amazing restaurants in the same price range, I think there are much better options for both the food and the overall experience. read more

Honestly, I've only been here once, and it was after I lost six figures on an investment that had the potential to become seven figures. I remember being in a really sad place, so My Wife and I went for a walk and stumbled upon this establishment. The food was incredible, the ambiance was perfect, and the drinks were delicious. It was exactly what I needed that day. I never got around to writing this review, but Yelp reminded me. If you haven't been here, I highly recommend giving it a try. Whether you're celebrating or going through a tough season, I'm confident the experience here will brighten your day. read more

Laser Wolf - Good food / presentation - Middle Eastern Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Laser Wolf had been on my radar forever and I finally got to check it out! We made our dinner reservation weeks in advance. The ambiance inside was delightful, with trailing plants stretching across the ceiling, large paper lanterns, and laidback colorful vibe. For drinks, I chose the Galia "by Zahav" Red Blend and my friend got the Galia "by Zahav" White. Both were fantastic! The red was medium-bodied with notes of blackberry and the white was perfectly crisp and refreshing. We started with the Salatim (included with dinner), which were so tasty. My favorites were the Hummus, Zucchini with Corn, and Babaganoush. Next, we shared the Grilled Halloumi (absolutely insane), Date-Harissa Wings (very good), and Tuna Tartare (light and tasty). We weren't starving, so the only item we got from the grill was the Eggplant, which we loved. This was already way too much food for us, and we had plenty of leftovers to bring home. The desserts (two types of soft serve) were also included, but I think we were too stuffed to fully appreciate these. Overall, this was an incredible meal and service was seamless! Highly recommend coming with a larger group, so that you can try more of everything. read more

I came here for dinner time. This is definitely a great bang for your buck. You get a hummus platter, pita, and dessert included with your entrees. The platter is refillable too! Food: 9.6/10 - Amazing food, I was pleasantly surprised to see the koobideh back on the menu. It was absolutely delicious. The hummus was exceptional too. Service: 10/10 - Great service, seated on time, attentive hostesses and waiters. My guest and I did go to the bathroom and they cleared our table, but remade a drink/took it off the bill and gave complimentary drinks! Ambiance: 9/10 read more

Incredible service and amazing food! My brother brought us here to celebrate his graduation and it was definitely a winner. Our server was very attentive and checked in often to see if we needed refills or anything during our meal. We really loved the salatim, which is included when you go. I was seriously impressed by the hummus too...so delicious! We also really enjoyed the shawarma-spiced cauliflower (very flavorful), their branzino with tomato and ginger (really fresh), and ribeye (so freaking juicy!). They also have soft serve included for dessert and we really enjoyed the vanilla soft serve. I also love that they have a vegan soft serve option for those who do not eat dairy. read more

We went to Laser Wolf for dinner over the weekend; we had reservations but were running late due to traffic; texted them and they were very nice to extend the reservation. Once we got there, we were seated immediately; the restaurant was pretty full at the time. They have kind of semi fixed menu with Hummus w/Fresh Pita and desert included; you just pick the entry from the grill. For the pita/hummus, you get a plate of fresh pita and a large varieties of small plates for dipping, all of them unique and delicious. For the grill items, we picked chicken, Whole Dorade and Shawarma-spiced Cauliflower. The chicken is grilled well and tasty; the fish is very fresh and the cauliflower well spiced. For desert, we all had Brown Sugar-Vanilla Soft Serve | Strawberry Apricot Sauce, Pistachios, and Rice Pearls; another great entry. Over all, we liked all the entries; the service is also very nice. There is a 20% service charge in lieu of tips and it's well deserved. read more

SERVICE - located in fishtown on a residential street - parking available in paid lot nearby or on the street - need to make a reservation as it is very popular - there is only one large table to accommodate groups bigger than 4 people - even though our reservation was at 8PM we did not get seated until close to 8:15PM - servers took a while to take our order for both food and drinks - staff are accommodating about dietary preferences - ambiance good for a semi formal meal MENU - israeli food served family style - vegetarian/vegan options available - pricey FOOD - salatim: this comes with all the orders as an appetizer. It consists of ten salads which can all be refilled as needed. At the center is a bowl of creamy hummus and a side of fluffy pita. The dishes change based on the season so ours had a lot of summer produce. Considering the salads are already premade and that this platter is served to everyone by default, I would have expected it to come out to our table almost immediately after seating. This way, we could have had more time to sample each one and decide if we want refills. The portion is quite large and filing so we barely got seconds of anything. - cauliflower shawarma (6/10): roasted cauliflower on a bed of tahini with pine nuts. The cauliflower was cooked very well. Roasting it gave it a soft and slightly creamy texture that falls apart in your mouth. When we first ate it, there was no spice at all. It seemed like all the flavor was in the sauce at the base. Pouring the sauce on the top or mixing it in more thoroughly would have made for a richer experience. - mushroom shishlik (6/10): portobello mushrooms and asparagus on a herby tahini sauce. This one had more flavor than the cauliflower but I was not a huge fan of how the mushrooms were cooked. The pieces felt large and not pleasant to bite into. They also had a meaty and chewy texture. - eggplant (8/10): grilled eggplants with dollops of tomato sauce. This was by far the best of the vegetarian entrees. The eggplant is very soft and creamy with the right amount of spice from the topping. The red sauce which I assumed to be tomato based added freshness and acidity. With a scoop of hummus from the salatim on top of a piece of pita, it was an enjoyable bite. - tahini soft serve (7/10): tahini soft serve with chocolate magic shell. The dessert is included in the menu and this is the vegan option. After the salatim and the entrees, we were quite stuffed and barely had an appetite for dessert. The tahini ice cream has a strong bitter flavor with the mildest touch of sweetness. While I liked the concept of the chocolate shell, I would have wanted it to be thinner so that it could crack easier. WOULD I GO BACK? Maybe. I think some of the dishes are worth trying but going at a less busy time would be more enjoyable. read more

One of the top restaurants to eat at in Fishtown. Huge portions to share with everyone at the table. The chicken and lamb were very tasty! The rice and veggies were seasoned just right. Staff was super friendly and helpful! read more

This restaurant is so classy and vibrant! I loved the dimly lit ambiance and the feel it brings. Our server was very thorough and explained the menu and answered all our questions. We got the Salatim (hummus with pita) and my god this hit the spot! Every single bowl had something phenomenal tasting in it. From the grill we also got the Chicken Shishlik and the Eggplant- both were amazing. I truly have no words for the food here. Finally for dessert I got Brown Sugar-vanilla soft serve and my friend got the Tehina soft serve. My favorite was the Brown Sugar-Vanilla because I'm not a huge chocolate person. I will definitely we going back here again! read more

Laser Wolf - Salatim - Middle Eastern Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Overall all great experience. This place is pretty popular so I'd recommend making a reservation. Also street parking is tricky so give yourself enough time in case your riding around trying to wait for a parking spot to open up. There are a couple parking lots in the area but they are probably around $30ish and capacity fills up fast some nights. Just give yourself enough time to figure out parking if your driving. The ambiance is nice. Waiters are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The restaurant is moderate in size and the noise level is moderate as well. You can comfortably exchange table talk without having to raise your voice too loud. You basically pick one item from the grill per guest and the cost of that grill item covers the endless rounds of Saletim as well as dessert. Not a bad deal at all! The hummus is in my top 3 of the best on the planet. It's so creamy and has a delicious flavor profile. The Saletim is the first course and its a vibrant assortment of salads and spreads accompanied by warm pita bread. It's almost like a meal in one because you could easily make this your meal and be completely satisfied. I had never had Dorade until I tried it here and it was absolutely delicous. Dorade is a white, tender, and succulent fish with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is often compared to red snapper, pompano, or branzino but typically has a richer fat content. It's served headless and tailless and the skin is seared to be crispy. Really delish! It's served over a bed of Harrisa sweet potato mash topped with sweet shaved carrots. My other fave is the Lollipop Lamb Chops with Fennel Salad and Carmelized Apples. It's cooked medium rare unless you request a different cook on it. I especially appreciated this dish because of the flavor balance of the citrus/tangy fennel salad with the sweet apple spread and textured small bites of apple. Waaaay better than any chutney sauce served at most places in my opinion. The Hibiscus tea is good but was a tad bit on the tart side. But no worries..some folks like tart and that's fine..but if you want to sweet'n it up just a tad ask for a small shot of simple syrup. Our waiter recommended it and it was the perfect addition to giving it just a hint more of sweetness to balance out the tart. I enjoyed the brown sugar-vanilla soft served ice cream. It tasted good but also healthy with the spiced apple granola crunch. Really great experience and I can't wait to return. read more

Second time visiting this establishment and it did not disappoint. Came here to celebrate a graduation and everyone loved this meal. Amazing food, quality service and a decent bar round out this restaurant. The hummus, pita and salatim are amazing; so many unique and delicious flavors.

Super cozy in here so order a drink, bring friends, and enjoy! Can't wait to come back read more

It certainly was a fun experience! Did it live up to all the hype..? Not for me, but let me tell you why it deserves a spot in your dining repertoire. The style of food is amazing! I simply don't get enough Israeli-inspired cuisine. The intensity of flavor & spices coupled with a unique grilling tradition makes each bite memorable. The hummus is the most fantastic, creamy, concoction you'll have outside the Middle East. Yes, there are other fantastic versions in our cities, but Solomonov has presented a truly perfect one. The family-style, all you can eat, wheel of Salatim will keep you engaged. There's something for everyone's taste, but I only found 2 or 3 things worth going back for. Enough to keep me happy, but not blow my mind. It was fun to mix & match different combinations of accoutrements w/ the meats which included swordfish, skirt steak, & merguez (complimentary)- which made me happy as I was having buyer's remorse for not picking more exotic selections. Save room for dessert; the soft serve is a special finish to the flavors. Can't say I get the kitschy decor. 1970's wood paneling, vinyl tablecloths, & Hawaiian shirts are hilarious for the younger generations, but reminded me too much of my grandparent's basement bar. Staff was accommodating; nice that after 2 years waiting for the reservation we weren't rushed through the experience. read more

WOW! This place was so good! If you like legit middle eastern or Israeli food, this is a must try. The place is also so beautiful inside and the staff was very friendly. We were a group of four, so we decided to do a more family style approach, ordering the steak and chicken shishlik, the salmon, and the mushroom shishlik. All entrees come with the salatim, which includes some of the best pita I've had outside of Israel. It also has amazing dips and toppings, our favorites were the hummus, the cabbage, the beets, and the kale babaganoush. They are also refillable, which was amazing. All of our entrees were fantastic, the mushrooms were seriously so good and whatever they were on top of was delicious. Dessert is also included, and we all got the ice cream, which was very tasty. I wish so much a place like this existed where I live. Will highly recommend to anyone! read more

Party of 5 birthdays celebration. Such a cute ending with a candle in the soft serves. This was an amazing feast and I definitely gained some pounds that I haven't lost yet. the Salatim's were excellent and definitely a few favorites all around. Even happily separated out the nut dishes so our one nut allergy dude could eat without worry and we could still have all the dishes we dreamed of eating. Really enjoyed everything but definitely my favorite of the night was my Merguez sausage !! read more

10/10 experience! I went for my birthday and had a chef experience. Where do I begin, I was greeted nicely, pulled my chair out, and the lady gathered my belongings to hang up. The server, I could tell, truly loved his job. He was personable, knew everything there is to know about the menu. Gave suggestions and actually had a conversation w/ us w/in reason. He made it seem like we were the only ones he was serving that night. We even received an "on the house" a glass a wine to pair with our meal. I felt the birthday energy and love. The folks next to me even were chatting us up. The food is delicious! Taken right from the grill to our table. Chicken appetizer is fireeeeee! The chicken shishik and Romanian beef kebab hit the spot. I was thinking the portion size could be some what bigger but I was surprisingly full after I was done the dessert. Also the brown sugar vanilla taste better (Personal preference) than the tehina soft serve. Presentation and politeness was met. Overall great experience. read more

Came here for a graduation dinner. The service was excellent, the food was also excellent. This was my first time eating this type of entrees. The server explained everything in full detail. They also gave us completely appetizers which were also superb. We had the steak, chicken and brisket. All cooked to perfection. The opening plates with the home made pitas were spectacular also. We ate everything. They then refilled everything for us too. We took the refills home for the next day. Thank you everyone here for an awesome experience read more

Amazing menu amazing food. I love the staff and I go there whenever I can get a reservation!!

Andrew Henshaw is the rockstar behind the helm at Laser Wolf and his crew are rocking here in Philly. They work in harmony and the dishes sing. Being a huge foodie, I haven't had a meal like this in a very long time. And what a feast it was. I was most excited for the Salatim (side dishes and dips). I could not get enough of the hummus in the middle, so creamy and delish with the soft warm pita breads. You can ask for refills for any of the Salatim dishes as well. This comes with an order of an entree which is good enough for one person portion-wise so I suggest you order one per person. For the mains we got the skirt steak, whole Dorade (fish) and eggplant. My son is a steak lover through and through so I couldn't believe my ears when he said he loved the eggplant more than the skirt steak. The eggplant came with these chunks of fried pickled tomatoes, I thought they were potatoes. Such a delicious surprise. They are laser-focused on every little detail in each of the dishes they serve. Side dish - I am a huge French fry kind of gal. My son asked why I didn't get the chicken wings instead and I said because they are famous for their fries here. Well, my son could not stop eating them. The tehina ketchup leveled up their golden fries. It had that perfect crisp. Addicting!! The highlight of the night had to be when one of the staff members presented us with the chicken wings..."we are gifting you with this dish". Such a wonderful gesture! Thank you!! We all loved it! The sauce was insane. We ended our meal with a choice of two flavored custards to choose from, apple a la mode and a pistachio one. Huge shoutout to our awesome waiter, Brendan D. He was bussin a handful of tables but still managed to go above and beyond. First time having Israeli food and it won't be the last. This place is a gem. Allow 2 hours to dine. Reservations are a must. Fun Fact: Laser Wolf is named after the butcher (Lazar Wolf) in "Fiddler On The Roof." read more

We ordered a whole branzino shared for two, Romanian beef kebab, salatim with fresh hummus, French fries with tehina ketchup, and brown sugar vanilla soft serve + cantaloupe sorbet. The presentation of the salatim was phenomenal! The menu was a bit misleading because we thought the salatim was included with the dessert as part of the "from the grill" option. I just wish it was clearly stated in the menu. I was truly blown away by the ice cream hahaha. The entrees were a bit pricey than I expected. If you go with a larger group, it's easier to split. Overall, I would come again and it was a good experience! read more

Best cuisine and dining experience of this year - my best friend and I enjoyed a truly remarkable dinner at Laser Wolf, seated at the chefs counter. Our server made the most memorable night with housemate ginger beer and harissa chicken wings. We indulged in Salatim, a colorful array of veggie sides bursting with flavor and nutrition! The merguez lamb sausage with tahini sauce was excellent. The eggplant entree was the star of the show - so good it could convince a carnivore to turn vegetarian/vegan! Thanks to Laser Wolf and Chef Michael Solomonov for truly phenomal Israeli cuisine - I loved dining at Zahav (15 years ago), and now Laser Wolf. Fun fact: Laser Wolf refers to Lazar Wolf (the butcher in Fiddler on the Roof Musical) read more

Celebrated my birthday here and had an amazing time! Sat at the bar and loved watching the chefs in action. The salatim was beautifully presented and so fun to try -- everything was fresh and flavorful. The pita was incredibly soft (wish I took more home) and I also appreciated the takeout containers that kept all the spreads neatly separated. We had the wings, fish, and meat kebab -- all tender and delicious. Our server surprised us with French fries, which were perfectly crispy and addicting.

What's not to love about Laser Wolf? This is a place you come to get fed. Your belly will leave full, too full. This was my first time visiting the Philly location, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Brooklyn has the views, but Philly brings the industrial vibes. I should have just ordered the salatim on its own (that glorious spread of hummus and dips can easily fill you up), but I always need to order meat. We went with the skirt steak shishlik and koobideh, and also tried the grilled halloumi - listen everything was so good it made my belly thrilled. Pace yourself with the salatim so you can enjoy the rest, such as the soft serve ice cream, which is a sweet bonus that's included for those who order from the grill. Service was wonderful. Heads up: street parking is tough, and reservations are absolutely necessary, not optional. Worth every bite! read more

With Chef Michael Solomonov's signature flavors, expertly grilled skewers, vibrant spreads, and one of the best views in the city, it delivers a dining experience that's as memorable as it is delicious. read more

Had a delicious meal on my first trip to Laser Wolf this Summer. 1) The vibe - the ambiance was a bit more casual than I was expecting (combination of normal tables and non-cushioned booths), but overall the staff was very kind and brought us a free appetizer given we were celebrating a graduation. 2) The food - really great mix of flavors. For 2 people we each ordered a meat (that came with the salatim and dessert), as well as side of french fries. We got an appetizer of wings on the house, and overall it was a TON of food. We ended up taking half of it home. The salatim and pita were fantastic - lots of unique flavors and textures. The meat were good (I liked the chicken better than the beef), and even though I was stuffed I managed to eat the majority of the brown-sugar vanilla soft serve packed full of pound cake pieces! I will definitely be coming back to Laser Wolf on my next trip to Philly. read more
