Fries, sauce, and sandwiches are all great! Everything is made fresh including the sauces.

Food was really good. French fries were amazing. Girl at the counter was very friendly and helpful about food choice and sauce selection/combination. Price wise it was good.

Love this place! I eat here for lunch everyday! the best feeling to know its zabiha halal! i was even shown the chicken Brest box to prove its hallal grilled chicken and breaded chicken. I recommend this place. They have tasty pasta's! Penns alavodka (no vodka) just a fancy name is so delicious! And the spicy grill chicken wrap with the crispy Belgium fries dipped in European ketchup is phenomenal! THIS IS A 5/5!

The food here is average at best. They only serve chicken and no beef. However, the french fries here are the best fries I have ever eaten. I highly recommend having the fries. Also the location is great and within walking distance to all the historical sites.

a great alternative, more sandwhiches then anything else, great place for a halal lunch, again like other places in philly, you will have to either walk or find meter parking.

I liked it, not everyday that you find a Belgian halal place. Food tastes healthy, and menu has upscale sounding ingredients like goat cheese and there's a million sauces - always a plus!

This restaurant is unique. It is clean, the service is greet and the food is good too! The french fries that come with the combo is fantastic. We actually went out to the car and decided to come back and order more fries to go. I recommend.

Great meal. Had a lunchtime special for $6.95 which included a wrap, fries (absolutely yummy) and a drink. Service was very quick. The place was clean. Afghan proprieter was very nice and spoke good English (resident for 29 years) and runs the place with his daughter. He stated that all the meat was halal. Will certainly come back here upon my next visit to Philly.

This place was fabulous. It was my first time in Philly and I am so glad I found this great Zabihah joint and went back twice. I had the chicken sandwich meal (which came with some really tasty soup and a drink) and it was really delicious, not to mention inexpensive. The place was very neat and clean (and so were the bathrooms as well). The service was top of the line as the staff was very friendly and nice. I would highly recommend one to come here.
