"Goldie is a fast-casual falafel shop from the team behind Zahav and Federal Donuts. There are locations all over the city, though the Rittenhouse location is where we always find ourselves when we're hungry between meetings. Plus, they have wifi, which is especially convenient for sending emails over hummus. No matter the location, though, Goldie focuses on crisp-on-the-outside, herby-on-the-inside falafel served in a warm housemade pita or on top of a salad. Choose your accompanying sauces (we’re partial to the spicy green schug), and get shawarma fries and one of their creamy vegan tehina milkshakes for dessert." - Alison B. Kessler
"The menu at Goldie is short and delicious, featuring falafel sandwiches, shawarma fries, and hummus platters from the team behind the award-winning Zahav. Lunch lines can be long, but they move quickly. For those moments when you need a silly little treat, go for the dairy-free tehina shakes. The Turkish coffee is perfect for anyone who can’t say no to tiramisu or an affogato." - Esra Erol
"Goldie is the fast-casual falafel shop from the people behind Zahav, and it’s a good go-to for an early weeknight dinner or quick lunch. All of the options on their short menu, which has falafel, fries, and spicy shawarma fries, are vegan. Everything’s great, but the best thing here is the falafel. It’s flavorful and crispy, and you can get it on a platter or in a sandwich with a few different sauces. If you’re still hungry when you’re finished, their tehina milkshakes are so good that you’ll wonder why they even make milk-based ones anymore." - Candis Mclean

"Everything on the short menu at this counter-service spot from the Zahav team is excellent, but don’t miss the dairy-free, tahini-based shakes in flavors like Turkish coffee. Fortunately the lunchtime line for Goldie’s falafel sandwich, falafel-topped salad, and shawarma-spiced fries moves quickly." - Eater Staff, Sarah Maiellano
