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

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

There's an energy to this place that makes you want to be there. You look around and the diners are cheery. Ordering is made simple, you choose one thing from the grill, like spicy lamb kofte, chicken shishik, or shawarma-spiced cauliflower, and let the restaurant handle the rest. You then learn why everyone is so cheery--the salatim is endless! More than 10 veg-friendly entry dishes, served in these small stainless-steel cups, a big bowl of fresh hummus and pitas just out of the oven. When you run out, just order more. Whatever is left over, you take with you. It's all included in the price you see next to the item from the grill. The salatims all come out together but eat too much and you'll be too full for the main; eat too little and you'll feel like you got ripped off, with no time to really enjoy them. The restaurant paces out the courses nicely and the salatims go well with the mains so they leave everything out for you. The dessert was last, a soft serve ice cream for each guest--good, but not the thing to visit Laser Wolf for. Couple things worth knowing: The price of the grill items are shocking at first, before you realize how much is included. For instance, the chicken shishik or eggplant are each close to $40. But I promise you won't leave hungry. My partner and I ordered just one thing from the grill, the restaurant adds something like $23 to the bill because everything else remains the same. Unlimited salatims and a dessert for each. It then feels like one of you is paying $23 for the salatims and dessert, which is a lot in my opinion, but the fact that the restaurant allows (even encourages) you to take the salatims to go and even refills the portion for you, I think makes the price reasonable. There are also other items to order à la carte. We got the halloumi for an additional $16 and it was excellent, probably the best item of the night. There's a 20% service charge included. The restaurant has this written in a big box on the menu and says their employees are paid at least $15/hr. I'm usually against forced tips but I strongly support folks earning at least $15/hr. The service was excellent all around, timely, friendly and attentive and deserving of every penny. In the end we paid just over $100 for 2 people, including the service charge, and left very full and very happy. read more

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

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

Really amazing food. This menu is priced as a scale for different entrees. You pay for the entree and get a three course meal. Starts with a heavenly spread of dips and salads with pita -- unlimited refills. Then a main. Then a dessert. Oh gosh we were stuffed but felt good. The food was fresh and delicious. Servers were so kind in explaining the different menu items. I cannot even put into words how enjoyable this experience was. A bit loud of a place and difficult to get a table so always get a reservation. 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

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

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.

From our first take-away during the COVID-19 pandemic to dining at a table to dining at the bar, every Laser Wolf experience is terrific.

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.

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

There are so many good Mediterranean spots in Philly and some are cheaper than laser wolf; so I unfortunately can't recommend laser wolf. It was pretty good but just not worth the cost.

Server, Riley, was great. Food was fantastic, except for the fries which tasted heavily of oil. The rib and sausage dish was a real hit, the chicken Shishlik was quite tasty, as well. Well cooked grilled meats are one of life's little pleasures. Mixed Drinks were portioned nicely and made well. We appreciated the design of the space-which included exposed beams with hanging plants and round lantern style lighting, plentiful bar seating and lots of windows.

I recently visited this incredible Lebanese restaurant, and it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The food was bursting with authentic flavor, the service was warm and attentive, and the ambience was both inviting and relaxing -- the perfect setting for a great meal. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and every single one stood out. The chicken shishlik was juicy and perfectly seasoned, the salmon was cooked to perfection, and the date-harissa wings offered just the right balance of sweetness and spice. The French fries with tehina ketchup were a fun and flavorful twist on a classic, and the merguez was rich and aromatic. The highlight, though, was the large mezze platter featuring Hummus with fresh pita and a stunning assortment of sides: Lutenitsa, Kale Babaganoush, Broccoli & Quinoa Tabbouleh, Cabbage with Tomato & Amba, Squash Muhammara, Yemenite Pickles, Beans with Olives, Lebanese Potato Salad, Cauliflower with Chickpeas & Preserved Lemon, and Beets with Harissa. Every bite offered something unique -- a true celebration of textures, spices, and fresh ingredients. If you're looking for Lebanese cuisine that's vibrant, flavorful, and beautifully presented, this place is a must-visit. I can't wait to return! They were on a Netflix special of Somebody Feed Phil, Episode 6 - Philadelphia. Go watch it before you come to the restaurant. If I'm in Philly again, this is happening. I'll come alone if I have to. read more

Laser Wolf - Salatim. Delicious! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Hmmm might be a little controversial take but I honestly expected much better from laser wolf. Not that anything tasted bad, but I felt like the flavors for the appetizers were a little off? The veggies didn't seem very fresh, seemed like they put a lot a lot of salt in just every single dish.Sure, the pita bread was soft and fluffy, but I have had soft and fluffy pita bread, just in my neighborhood, Mediterranean market. we got beef, kebabs, and cauliflower for the main, the cauliflower was extremely well grilled, flavorful, but somehow the sauces didn't really go well with it. The beef was pretty rough and not very tender. The ice cream was honestly the best thing on their menu? Saying the dessert was their best on their menu was a bit disappointing. For the price, I honestly would go to Goldie for some good hummus and falafel. Suraya was much better in my opinion, all their dishes were amazing, ambience, and service was great, Something about laser wolf is just lacking and there is so much hype for I'm not sure what, although I enjoyed my experience, I don't think I will be coming back. read more

I was thrilled to finally snag a reservation at Laser Wolf, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The restaurant has a casual, relaxed atmosphere that pairs perfectly with excellent service and outstanding food. I started with the Salty Lion cocktail, which was fantastic. The salatim platter was exceptional, especially the hummus and pickled cauliflower, both of which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. For our mains, we ordered the chicken, Romanian beef kebab, and koobideh. Every dish was well seasoned, perfectly cooked, and delicious. The fries with homemade ketchup were also a standout. We ended the meal with the soft serve, which was the perfect way to wrap up an already memorable dining experience. Laser Wolf is truly a must-try when visiting Philadelphia, and I cannot wait to return. read more

I had heard so much about Laser Wolf, and my fiance surprised me with a reservation on a Thursday evening. The interior is not what I expected - it felt more casual and inviting than I had thought, and less frilly, which was actually nice. We both are mostly vegetarian so ordered the Eggplant and Portobello Mushroom to share. The amazing thing about Laser Wolf is the sheer volume of food - once you pick your main, an incredible variety of salatim, or dips and salads and condiments, are included (with unlimited refills!), as well as unlimited warm pita and one choice of dessert each. The salatim plates also change seasonally, so you can constantly experience new flavors. The mushroom and eggplant mains were well-seasoned and just the right cooked-but-not-overly-so texture, and we loved trying different combinations of the dips and salads. The best part was maybe the warm, fluffy pita! My favorite bites consisted of a chunk of warm pita, hummus, beans, pickled veg, and mushroom. The dessert was also excellent and even though we were totally stuffed, we finished it. The service is great and our server was kind enough to box up all our leftovers for us to take home. My only complaint is that several of the salatim had a strong cilantro presence, so I couldn't really eat them. However, I'd definitely recommend Laser Wolf for a variety of new flavors and a lovely dinner experience. read more

Fantastic meal to celebrate our anniversary. If you order 1 entree per person which is required, you're looking at roughly anywhere from $50-70 per head depending on the choice of your protein. Included in your price is your choice of dessert sorbet or ice cream soft serve, as well as salatim - which they are happy to refill items and pita bread. For the salatim, my personal preference favorites are the: hummus, pepper paste, marinated cucumber, kale babaganoush, white beans, and the rice that we were served as well. The figs and goat cheese were a lovely gift from the kitchen staff - simple but delicious. We sat at the kitchen counter, and for a food nerd - this was so fun to watch everyone play their roles in the kitchen. I loved watching the chef that was manning the protein station, it was truly like watching an artist at their craft. Our server highly recommended the King Salmon and boy oh boy was that truly the best piece of salmon that I've had in my life. It was cooked to perfection, crispy skin, well seasoned, great quality salmon that literally melted in our mouth like butter. I've been thinking about it ever since. The tuna shishik was fantastic as well, but could not beat the salmon. It's completely different though, less rich and more of an acidic flavor - so ordering both was a great contrast for our meal selections. For the price, we were very pleased with both the portions as well as quality of food and execution, and service by the staff of this establishment. We will 100% be back and will recommend Laser Wolf to friends and family based on our experience. read more

Laser Wolf is an Israeli grill, a pillar of Israeli life and known in Hebrew as a "shipudiya" or "skewer house". The kitchen is led by executive chef Andrew Henshaw, a longtime culinary collaborator with co-owners Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook. There's baba ghanouj, smokier even than the grilled eggplant. There are gigante beans as big as your thumb, a fresh slaw of shaved fennel and cabbage, and another salad -- pickled celery and pineapple -- that is weird but also kind of great. The koobideh is like a hamburger on a stick, part beef and part lamb. A little stiff and underseasoned. The skewers were great and the fries are amazing. But the best part is the service! Amazing hospitality and warm welcome as soon as you walk in. Highly recommend to experience this with a group of friends , if you can get a reservation. Cheers read more

Stop #1 of our Solomonov Philadelphia dining double header. We loved everything about this place. The vibe/ambience is relaxed and fun, the decibel level is normal, the food is incredible, and service is excellent (so excellent, in fact, that we're not even pissed about the automatic 20% gratuity which usually means you'll get crappy service). For drinks we started with a Goldstar and the Frisky Business, which was as overpriced as cocktails have become, but what can you do. Our daughter got the Rendezvous, essentially a virgin pina colada, and loved it. The salatim and pita that immediately arrived at the table were heavenly. The pitas were pillowy clouds and every salad was complex and perfectly seasoned. The only one that we didn't like was the butternut squash which was way too sweet. Some other favorites: the kale babaganoush, the cabbage, and the beets. The hummus was ethereally smooth. For mains, we had the chicken and mushroom shishliks, both excellent, and perfect with the rice they came out with. We tried both soft serves for dessert, and of course the vanilla one was better because the coffee one was made with oat milk, so the texture will be inevitably be off (but the sauce they used more than made up for it). Our server was super sweet and she even sent some bonus fries out to our table. Plates were cleared at appropriate times, and the staff were in and out of our table seamlessly. Honestly, no complaints. We thought that Laser Wolf would be good, but it exceeded even our expectations, which is saying a lot. Five stars, and we hope to be back next time that we're in town. read more

We walked in with no reservation for a Sunday night and got right in and sat at the bar. The service was very fast, friendly and very knowledgeable. It's a smaller open room for seating, with an open kitchen which I love. Good amount of bar seats as well. The food was awesome! I highly recommend. They will refill your salatim and hummus as well. We started with the wings which were very good, lots of flavor and moist meat. Then for entrees we had the ribeye and cauliflower. YUM!!!! We had enough leftover for a shared lunch for two the next day. Dessert was 2 different flavored soft serve, which came with your dinner order. Small, light and a great palate cleaners.

Came here on Saturday night. Was a perfect place to come in and service was great. Very attentive and you can get refills on anything that you want from the pita bread to any of the little dishes of the salatim. Really enjoyed their creamy hummus, and the baba ghanoush. The baba ghanoush was nice and smoky. Also enjoyed the spicy cucumbers and the pickled carrots to be honest most of the dishes were amazing. I got the Romanian beef kebab. Super juicy and it reminds me of like a meatball. We also got the tuna and that was a perfect dish too. You only got a handful of pieces with the dish. I want to say 6 to 7.
