Kamals Middle Eastern Cuisine

Very friendly service. I had a Turkish coffee smoothie and the Moroccan chicken platter. The Turkish Coffee smoothie had a very great texture to it (hard to describe) and it was delicious. I also tried the pistachio smoothie. Both are great, they have a few other smoothie flavors. Just these smoothies alone make it worth the trip. If you are not familiar with the area, the parking garage situation can be confusing. Depending on which parking garage you use, you will get a discount if you spend more than $10 at any business in the reading terminal market. Parking for us was $4 and Kamals validated my parking garage ticket after purchase.

The worst experience ever, the dude running it is so rude, the girl on the cashier is nice but the dude is so rude! I even left him a nice tip and he didn't even include forks there's no arabic speakers there on a restaurant that is supposed to be Mediterranean and the food tastes horrible the chicken pie is like 2 weeks old I do not know how can anyone eat this food. Update replying to your comments I am not your friend! And i did order twice because the meat pie was fresh but when i ordered the rest of the pies only one of them was fresh the rest is stale Yes you offered to give me a fork but in a rude way like i told you my order is for here and you warmed it up but you didn't put any 🍽️ and was asking like you don't need any? Like how am i supposed to eat? Dude come on dont be rude and racist and lie all in the same time. Normally i would have stood up for discrimination but today i had enough, I will never come back to this horrible place again. next time try to be friendly to ppl or go work with AI and machines

Ordered the lamb pita wrap and pistachio baklava. The wrap was so dry I would guess it was stale. It was covered in oil though. There was not nearly enough tzatziki sauce on it, and the romaine was wilted. I opened the wrap up and ate the lamb out of it. The tzatziki did taste good and the baklava was decent but not delicious.

I only took off a star due to ordering the Zataar fries and getting regular fries for my order. My Chicken Shawarma was good, as expected, and certainly met my Mediterranean fix needs. The line at Kamala can get a little unruly, so keep an eye on the floor and follow the tape (please!). The cashier was nice and patient with me, and the meal was good. I’d go back for sure.

Was in Philly for two weeks and almost exclusively ate here, since I have Celiac it’s hard to find places that carry gluten free. Food was always great and the customer experience was great. Definitely worth a trip even if it’s just for a shake.

Searched high and low for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. The owners are welcoming and atmosphere is perfect. We ordered the chicken shawarma platter with Tabouli!! The portions were plentiful. The hummus is perfection . Shawarma melts in your mouth and tabouli was the perfect addition to this amazing meal. Not to mention prices are more than reasonable especially for the portions. My son also ordered the banana milk and honey smoothie !! Amazing . We will be going back.

I wish I could give this place MORE than 5-stars! Located near a corner inside Reading Terminal Market, Kamal's is always busy but service is fast! My roommate and I are obsessed with the falafel platter. Considering the location, quantity of food, and quality, it's very reasonably priced. I blame this stall for being one of the reason's I haven't tried more places in RTM-- cause I keep coming back for their entrees and sides! Falafel are well-seasoned, "meaty," and you get about 4-decently sized rounds with the platter. It also comes with delicately smooth hummus (hommus), tabouli (tabouleh for the algorithm), a basic chopped salad, and pita bread. The textures of everything are perfect together! You can also grab a sides like zataar fries which are PACKED with seasoning and fried with firm exteriors and soft interiors. The staff are especially nice. There's one individual that is at the register most often (I believe their name is Hesham according to my order tickets). Every time I go, they are so friendly, welcoming, and very helpful when answering questions from anyone in line or random tourists needing directions. RTM is a hectic place for both staff and patrons, but Kamal's is always very nice to my roommate and me. Once when I visited with my partner, I was raving about how much I enjoy their food and staff without even realizing that another staff member (maybe someone working in the back?) was sitting next to me. He thanked me for my words which was so sweet!

This is the worse middle eastern food i've ever had! I decided to try the the falafel plate which came with tabouli, hummus, salad, and pita bread. The falafel, hummus, and tahni? were soooo salty!!! I could not even finish my meal. At the bottom of the salad there was water which somehow accumulated from I assume the tahini? Im not sure what happened, or if this was just a one off type of deal but I will never go back! And I definitely do not recommend this place.
