"There are many reasons to fall in love with West Philly’s Saad’s Halal. The sizable restaurant has falafel platters, beef kabobs, fish wraps, and other dishes that could inspire an impromptu 2,000 word ramble on the joys of Middle Eastern food. They also have pastries—like the $2 baklava—that taste like chocolate and pistachios made a sweet, delicious baby. Like most baklava, they’re flaky, syrupy, subtly sweet, and don’t require a small loan to eat a bunch. Whether you come in for a quick grilled chicken salad or spinach pie with feta, the massive menu at the casual spot inspires tried and true satisfaction." - alison kessler, candis mclean
"The Meal: Seven Chocolate Baklava, $14 Sure, this West Philly restaurant offers falafel platters, beef kabobs, and fish wraps for under $15. But where’s the fun in that? Head to this Middle Eastern spot for these pastries, which cost $2 each and taste like chocolate and pistachios made a baby. Like most baklava, they’re flaky, syrupy, subtly sweet, and don’t require a small loan to eat a bunch. Whether you come in for a quick grilled chicken salad or spinach pie with feta, it would be a mistake not to have a few before leaving." - candis mclean
"This West Philly classic has garnered the reputation of serving massive cheesesteaks that are unapologetically beefy, flavorful, and have an unforgettable aroma beloved by locals and tourists alike." - Annemarie Dooling
"This West Philly hotspot is the home of a great halal cheesesteak, but also a remarkable grilled chicken sandwich. Made with tender grilled chicken, sautéed onions, creamy garlic sauce, tomato, parsley, and zesty pickles on a toasted long roll — it’s an entire meal of a sandwich." - Annemarie Dooling
"Saad’s Halal is a Middle Eastern shop in Walnut Hill serving things like shawarma, falafel, baklava, vegetarian platters, and some of the best cheesesteaks in town. And with an open counter at the front, you can have a front-row seat to folks in the kitchen creating something as beautiful as another Sixers championship trophy." - candis mclean
