This is a Philly must stop spot, but when we went this time it wasn't that at all. I wanted a Philly cheese steak but they said bc of the rising prices of steak and lamb, they took them off the menu. That was the whole reason I went there. They recommended a chicken sandwich, which was alright, but not so delicious that it will go back just for another sandwich. We also ordered chicken wings which were good. I don't know what the secret is to getting them so crispy, but it worked. We did take out and they forgot to give us hot sauce so the chicken was crispy, but plain. Like no seasoning, not one speck of seasoning, plain plain. We also got the sweet potato pie, but I think it was a bean pie mislabeled bc there was no sweet to that pie. To sum it up, will I go back, no, not till the get steak back on the menu.

Hands down the best Philly cheesesteak I have ever had in my entire life, customer service is amazing and the place is very clean and tidy.

They have amazing beef cheese steak! I travel from DC a few times a year to get some. The addition of ketchup on the sandwich takes it up a different notch. I tried with and without ketchup beef cheese steak sandwich and ketchup is the way to go for this place. I highly recommend as one of the places to stop and eat if you're looking for halal cuisine.What I did not like in this restaurant is the wait time. There was definitely a lot of discrepancy on who gets their food first. I understand a popular restaurant will have wait time, however it should not be 2 hours to get a sandwich. Few of my friends ordered only one sandwich and they had to wait two and a half hours just to get theirs. There were other people that came in and ordered after us and received their sandwich with 45 minutes or less.So I don't agree with their mandatory 15% service fee if you're eating in the restaurant. I understand you have to pass your cost on to the consumers but to force it is questionable.

They made a mistake on my over-the-phone order! when I complained about that,Saad , the owner was annoyed and told me this is what you ordered take it or you need to wait for another 30 mins without even being apologetic about the mistake that his staff made just because they were busy on the lunchtime. The owner is also charging an extra fee for using a credit card which doesn`t seem a halal practice. Make sure to bring cash with you, plus, be aware that the restaurant smells are very strong that you will be like a walking sandwich after finishing your food. Very bad customer service!

Didn’t expect to eat one of the best cheesesteaks in Philly from this place but we did. Their fries are so good too. Mediterranean style plates were huge.

One of the best cheesesteaks in Philadelphia; my sandwich had so much steak in it, that I couldn't fold the sandwich. First, I had to use a fork to eat the pile of flavorful steak, then I was able to fold the bread. What makes this place a plus, is that it is certified halal.

The taste of Shawarma is not the best I have had even some of the halal carts I have eaten in NYC tastes better than this. The thing is meat is tender but spices are very superficial, I don't know if they marinate meat together with spices. Their potion is big for Shawarma platter which I paid 23 Dollars. Their wings are good. I don't know about other dishes. I don't understand why they give Siracha hot sauce and Mexican hot sauce at the middle eastern fastfood restaurant. This is odd for me. Everyone needs to wear mask strictly and only allowed to take off when the food is in front of you and owner (I think) and the waitresses are very serious about that which I think is funny. Overall 3 stars just for the wings.

DELICIOUS!!! traveled to Philly and the wait time was 45mins after we sat to get your food. I informed the gentleman at the counter I was a traveler and he hooked me up for my food in like 10 mins. The wings were not very nice looking BUT wonderfully tasty I wish I would’ve ordered more!! The Philly cheesesteak is worth traveling to Philadelphia for that’s how good it was. I wish I would’ve ordered another one as well! Definitely go check out Saad’s.

As far as Cheesesteaks go, the sub was pretty decent. I personally like a little less ketchup on mine but everything else was wonderful. I really liked their Baklava too.

Visiting family in Philly and wanted to try a halal Philly Cheesesteak. Had some In The Uk with varied quality. Saad’s is way way ahead. Big, juicy, very very tasty. Reasonably priced, staff are lovely. Place is set up like a diner and kept very very clean. We are here a few times during our trip, tried others but had to come back. Eat j. And takeaway service is good. My recommendations. Cheesesteak with mushrooms, kofta hoagie. Had a chat with Saad, nice guy. Looked after us.
