Old Towne & Sanna's

Visited my daughter today and she suggested this place. What a gem! The staff was so kind, friendly and welcoming. Made us feel special! My food was out of this world. I get falafel platters regularly and this one was prob the best I ever had. Everything was carefully plated, visually pleasing and absolutely delicious. My youngest had a cheesesteak which was cooked to perfection. Too bad I live so far, I’d be there all the time. I’ll be sure to come back next time I’m in the city. Had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The food was incredible, but what truly made the night special was the owner. They were so kind, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel like we were at home. That personal touch is so rare and means everything. You can feel the love and care that goes into this place from the atmosphere to the service to every bite of food. We will 100% be back and will be recommending this spot to everyone. Thank you for such a wonderful experience 🤍

Old Towne and Sanna’s is a fantastic spot that perfectly blends Mediterranean favorites with classic Philadelphia comfort food. The restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, and welcoming, whether you’re dining in for a quick bite or a relaxed meal. Every dish we tried was delicious, especially the cheesesteaks, saujauk and cheese flatbread, and hummus, which were all fresh and full of flavor. Our server, Joe, truly went above and beyond—his friendly, attentive service made an already great meal even better. Affordable, flavorful, and well-run, this place is definitely worth coming back to.

We had the pleasure of dining here a few nights ago and the vibes were everything. I loved the hibiscus tea. The food was so delicious. I highly recommend and cant wait to come back!

We had dinner at Old Towne & Sanna’s Restaurant with friends tonight, and it was beyond what we expected—in all the right ways. The newly updated space is cozy, clean, and welcoming, with a warm atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The staffs were incredibly friendly. The food? Absolutely delicious—definitely an upgrade from the old restaurant. My teenage son, who’s been loyal to pepperoni and cheese pizza since toddlerhood, said this one is still his all-time favorite. We started with the Sanna’s Sampler and warm pita bread—so flavorful and fresh. For our entrée, we shared the Sanna’s Mixed Grill, which came perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Dessert was a sweet finish with baklava and warbat—both rich, flaky, and satisfying. Another bonus: it’s BYOB, and if you forget to bring something, you can just walk across the street to Heirloom Market and grab your drink of choice. The prices are very fair for the quality and generous portions. We highly recommend Old Towne & Sanna’s—a wonderful place for families, friends, and anyone who enjoys great food in a friendly setting. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I got the falafel salad. Beautiful presentation and very flavorful. My husband and son got sandwiches. The portion wasn’t big enough for my teenager but the flavor was good. The steak fries were really good! Service was great; food came out quickly. It wasn’t packed though.

Just walking down the street and finding this restaurant… WOW!!!! This place has the best Middle-Eastern food I have ever had! The lentil soup was perfectly balanced with its salty and citric qualities. First time I eat a lentil soup that was truly and fully made with lentils and didn’t require extra squeezes of lemon. The hummus and the baba ghanoush were incredibly fresh and served with the right amount of olive oil and a little portion of spicy topping in the center for those who love to explore the hot version of these dishes. They were so well served that if you don’t like spicy food, you can just totally avoid this topping and enjoy your hummus and baba ghanoush plain. Pita bread! Definitely the best I have ever had! Fresh, warm, light, not crumbly! Worked perfectly as it was intended in this cuisine: as a means to enjoy hummus and baba ghanoush! Shawarma, rice, and salad: tender meat, deeply aromatic rice, sweet and tangy salad. Together they create a fourth flavor that I will fail to describe here. Just stop by and try it! Lamb shawarma is my personal favorite! Absolutely delicious! OVEN-BAKED KAFTA is a must-try!!! This is Chef Yazan Sallan’s signature dish! See photos attached of himself bringing it to the table and opening the most flavorful dish I have tasted in a very long time! The baklava was also fresh! Maybe you don’t even know that a baklava can be fresh because every time you order it, it comes cold or room temperature with a soft texture. Not here! They served warm, fresh, and crunchy! Service was spectacular! We met the owner (from Lebanon) and the chef (from Syria but naturalized Brazilian - photo attached). Great people that in their wonderful personalities unveil the reason for this incredible food: love for the cuisine and their guests! PRICE- very affordable! You can taste multiple dishes of the menu in generous portions for about $30-40 per person (including taxes and tips). I hope you try this place! Take a seat indoors or outdoors and enjoy this area with great Middle-Eastern food!

Really enjoyed lunch here. Extremely friendly service and nice modern decor. We loved the well seasoned meats and perfectly charred wrap and flatbread. Simple food done right. Great grill work and perfectly spiced. Good for a quick date night or a group dinner. The outdoor seating spots look really nice too!
