★★★★★ I was very impressed at how clean and organized this store/market was! There is a full-service meat counter, a pastry counter, a prepared foods area, and a grocery area with what seemed like a focus on Turkish items. They have a variety of fresh squeezed juices, so we tried the pineapple juice. It was seriously some of the best juice I've ever had; you could tell it was made of fresh, sweet pineapple and no additives. The workers there were friendly. It's in the same neighborhood as Masjid Jami'a and several other halal restaurants and markets. Posted on May 30, 2019

★★★★★ It's primarily a takeout place, so the ambiance isn't top-notch. However, the food more than makes up for it. It's not gourmet by any means, but if you're looking for classic Chinese takeout food, this delivers well. The General Tso's chicken was freshly fried, contained large chunks of white meat chicken, and didn't have a ton of breading like it often does at other takeout places. It was so good we ate it all in one sitting! They also sell Philly Phresh juice, which is phenomenal (the strawberry lemonade had actual strawberry chunks in it). The worker at the counter, Carla, was so sweet and hospitable. Whether you eat in, take it out, or get delivery, this is a must-try. Posted on May 28, 2019

★★★★★ I am so glad we went to this restaurant Masha'Allah. Where else can you get a proper halal breakfast for such a great price? My husband and I both ordered breakfast plates (his with beef bacon, pancakes, eggs, and home fries; mine with beef bacon, pancakes, and grits), and they were amazing. The grits were a bit too buttery for my taste, but I was glad they even offered grits as an option. They also sell fantastic bottled juices; we tried passionfruit guava and it was sublime. The menu is quite extensive; we were bummed that we were leaving that day and wouldn't be able to come back and try more of their food! The restaurant is divided into two sections; the place where you order is kind of run-down, but the adjacent dining area is quite nice. I pray that Allah blesses their business so that they can continue to feed South Philly for many, many years to come! Posted on May 26, 2019

★★★★ Despite its name, Kilimanjaro is a Senegalese restaurant. It is a small space that fills up quickly, and I noticed many people coming in for takeout orders. We ordered the whole fried snapper with onions, a side of grilled mixed vegetables, plain ginger juice, and strawberry ginger juice. The fish was delicious and the perfect size for two people. The grilled vegetables weren't particularly exciting (carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, green beans), but they tasted good with the fish. Both ginger juices were fresh and very tasty. The service is indeed slow, as other reviewers have mentioned, so don't go there if you're looking for a quick meal. It is cash only, so be sure to bring cash with you. Posted on May 26, 2019
