One of the best mix grilled meals I've had in Philadelphia. The portions are very generous for the price, making it an excellent value. From the moment I arrived, the cashier "Oday" welcomed me with a smile and made me feel comfortable. My food was prepared better than I expected. The owner personally greeted me as well - he's very friendly, respectful, and professional. The order includes salads and sodas, and the service overall was outstanding. Highly recommended!

Appetizer/breakfast platter and the entree were delicious and enjoyable to eat! In addition to food seen in the pictures attached, we also ordered delectable Shawarma wraps. On the first bite my brother and I went ‘Mmmm!’ The grocery store and the restaurant had great service and atmosphere. It was an absolute pleasure meeting with the staff. We had a great experience and will definitely return to try the rest of the menu. Update on 04/20/2025: Ordered Chicken Shawarma wraps, Chicken and chicken kabob platter. The kitchen has recently implemented cooking with charcoal… and I’m not a fan of this change; also, mind you we ate 40 minutes later from picking up so my travel hiatus plays a huge role in my review today. This was not my most time-sensitive meal. I found the meat in the wraps soft, as if I am eating crushed tuna in a wrap. While the taste of the sandwich was great with garlic sauce, the overall texture of the meat fell flat to me. As for kabob platter, the kabob did seem a tad bit salty and dry. I did not taste or smell any smoky flavor and scent intended using this cooking process. The overall dish still tasted great, but the meat took some extra chewing to finish, and left a faint salty aftertaste. I think both dishes are fine to eat within a short time window. Anything more, your experience won’t be the best. I hope this feedback helps!

Good falafel. I bought it to takeout. All homemade dishes. Reasonably priced. I plan to go back with friends to try more vegetarian foods there. They also have a fairly large market attached

What an amazing place and what wonderful and tasteful food. We had the kabab platter and let me tell you, the chicken pieces, the lamb pieces, the lamb chops, were all soooooo flavorful and the rice was so amazing. What an experience, food came out all hot but before that there wan an array of hummus, baba ganoush and salad and pita bread. All tasting amazing. It was lovely. Coming back again and again. 12/5/25. I had the pleasure of getting some catering for my family event. It was, as always, delicious and bursting with flavor. It is a very loving and caring shop and their food shows it. We had trays of lamb kabob, chicken kabob, rice and lamb chops, hummus (so creamy) and fattoush.

We had a delicious meal at Al-Salam. All the food was so fresh & perfectly spiced. Portion sizes are very generous - we had to bring some home. Everyone was friendly and welcoming & the service was great. We don't live close by, but hope to go back. Here is a photo of the yummy salads and bread. It's a small place with only a few tables, so I give it a 4 for atmosphere. But three of us were very comfortable eating in one of the booths.
