"This family-owned restaurant in Olde Kensington, which also doubles as a hookah lounge, is one of the few spots in Philly serving Jordanian cuisine. Choose from hearty platters of chicken or lamb shawarma, falafel, and hummus, or try one of its flavorful salads, such as the tabbouleh (made with bulgur, parsley, tomatoes, and onions dressed in lemon and olive oil) or the fattoush salad (featuring lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, and more)." - George Banks-Weston

I had an amazing experience at this Middle Eastern restaurant! The atmosphere is vibrant and clean, with a welcoming family-style dining area on the first floor. The food was a delightful journey of flavors, showcasing authentic dishes that left us wanting more. The service was exceptional—friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I also enjoyed their second-floor lounge, which offers a great space for those 21 and over to unwind. If you’re looking for a weekend treat, their brunch on Saturday and Sunday is a must-try! A perfect spot for delicious food and great company

This place goes above and beyond in customer service. They are accommodating and friendly. I end up going a few hours at a time. Lounge on 2nd floor. Great for party's, lights and music included. belly dancers Saturdays 10pm w/ $5 or $10 cover. Phenomenal Mediterranean food. $15 hookah for your birthday. No hard liquor solid but there's wine, beer and shooters.

Very friendly and cozy environment. The buffet did not have that much variety but was fresh and like homemade. Also, the staff was very friendly, patient and caring. Tea and Turkish coffee was excellent, too .

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this amazing Middle Eastern restaurant, and I can’t say enough good things about my experience! The food was extraordinary; the falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the chicken shawarma was incredibly flavorful. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who made us feel welcome throughout our meal. I also love that they’ll be opening for brunch soon—can’t wait to try their offerings! Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious Middle Eastern cuisine. I will definitely be returning!

My favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in Philadelphia! The best falafel I’ve had in Philly, and hands down the best Knafeh I’ve had in all of America. They ship it straight from Habiba Jordan, and you can taste the same flavor. The shawarma was amazing. The mint lemonade, tea and hookah made me feel transported to Amman. The atmosphere and vibes were immaculate, you’ll feel right in the Middle East. The owner and staff were incredible friendly and made me right at home. I can’t recommend them enough!
