You can feel that it's family-owned-and-operated. The 3-course set menu was great--we had three in our dinner party, so we automatically received 8 mezze + paper-thin pita (refilled without asking when the staff saw we were running low) to share, we each picked 1 of 10 entrees, and each chose 1 of 3 desserts for the final course. Some of the mezze (all delicious!): fattoush salad, hummus, baba ghannouj, labne, mouhamara, warak enab bel zeit, soujouk, batata harra. I had the Mixed Grill for One, which allowed me to try the Shish Taouk (grilled marinated chicken with special garlic sauce), Shish Kebab (grilled marinated filet mignon), Lamb Chop with grilled onion, tomato, jalapeño, roasted potatoes. And for dessert, I chose the cotton candy (halva floss) ice cream with pistachios (another diner had the rose water milk pudding)--both desserts had great flavor in the toppings, but little flavor in the ice cream/pudding. P.S. BYOB + a wine list, if you're so inclined.

And that means a lot coming from me, I have tried many places and have a very high bar. We started with the mezza platter- hummus was my absolute favorite (which really sets the tone for what the other dishes will be like). SO creamy, soft, smooth, light, but flavorful. Destroyed the platter. Then we shared a chicken Greek salad and chicken kabob platter that came with rice and grilled veggies. Chicken was so juicy and soft on both dishes. Perfectly seasoned. Chicken kabob platter was piping hot and fresh. Rice and veggies perfectly cooked. The owner came to our table to ask how everything was. He was so sweet, and so were the ladies waiting on us. We are absolutely coming back asap- and bringing the kids!

The portion was quite generous (it's the kind of portion that my wife and I would split, while also ordering an appetizer... but alas. I was traveling solo for this trip).

Overall, a delicious and satisfying lunch with generous portions and fresh food. Definitely a place worth checking out!

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.

Haven't been in awhile so I took the opportunity to have my birthday dinner here. Went with my wife…read moreand daughter. Let me start out by saying that the place itself is not much to look at and the furniture could use an update. It's decorated nicely inside. The service was ok the night we went and it's usually better. They had a huge birthday party (about 15 people) that took a lot of their time. However, the reason to come here is the awesome food. They bring you out three dips and pita for dipping. Each one if fantastic. For my meal I started with the salad topped with Mohammed's spiced vinaigrette. The dressing is so good. For my main I got the Egyptian Flounder with veggies and couscous. It came with a side of tahini to put on top if you like to. The Flounder was moist and delicious. The veggies and couscous were also very good. The portion size is incredible. The attached picture shows my meal, WHEN I WAS FULL AND MY MEAL WAS FINISHED. It came with two big flounder fillets. My wife got the crab bisque as a starter and scallops with lobster sauce for her main. I was able to try both since we had so many leftovers. The crab bisque is probably the best I've ever eaten. My daughter got the salad as well and the lamb stew which she really enjoyed.
