Move aside, cheese steaks!
Al-Baik’s chicken shawarma is my #1 tastiest, most flavorful Philly sandwich (well, technically, a wrap). The food is made with great care and love. One wrap easily feeds two adults. The included homemade pickles and mild hot sauce were great complements to the wrap. My side order of baba ghanouj was delicious too.
Staff is friendly and courteous. The dining room was simple, clean, and comfortable. Street parking wasn’t a problem to find at lunchtime on a weekday.
I highly recommend Al-Baik to all who enjoy top-quality, scratch-cooked, authentic Mediterranean flavor.

I ordered through DoorDash and got the medium mixed grill along with a side of falafel. The food arrived hot and was packaged well. The hummus was smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. They honestly have some of the best kafta I’ve had in Philadelphia in a very long time — perfectly seasoned and cooked just right.
The grilled wing dings were amazing and cooked to perfection. The falafel was fresh and delicious as well. The bread, rice, and overall presentation were on point. Everything tasted great.
Iftar was definitely a hit in my home — Alhamdulillah! Highly recommend.

If you want to eat and want to get the most for your money, you should definitely dine here. I was surprised how delicious the food is. I ordered mixed grilled kebabs and every single bite I had was juice, and delicious. I will 100% want to eat here again.

It’s really unfortunate that their food is sooooooo good 🙁 I’ve been trying to save money by not eating out but my family made an exception for them ONLY. I also don’t feel guilty because their food is sooo affordable, I’m eating high quality fresh foods. Also, they are consistent. Every time I try something new from their menu, unfortunately I REALLY like it….forcing me to return for more 🙂
THEE BEST in the Northeast! Top 2 and they ain’t 2! <3

Their chicken Shawarma is really good. One of the best Palestinian restaurant in the area. The server was really nice and professional. I also got to try Palestine cola which was really good.

I ordered from here based on recommendations. I drove a long way to try this place. I ordered a mixed grill platter and 10 assorted sandwiches, but honestly, it was a shock. The sandwiches were soggy and mushy. I’ve eaten shawarma at many places, but I’ve never seen or heard of a restaurant that makes shawarma from chicken thighs. The chicken meat in the sandwiches was black, and the kofta didn’t feel like meat; it felt more like rubber—it was inedible. The portion of the mixed grill platter was small for the price. I spent $200 on trash food, and I felt awkward in front of my family (it felt like they were ripping you off). There’s no oversight of the kitchen or the quality of the ingredients. I will never go back. Unfortunately, a catastrophic experience by all standards. The food tasted pale and suspicious, and then I spent two days in bed treating severe food poisoning. This restaurant lacks the lowest standards of hygiene and quality. Advice for the face of God: Stay away from him completely if you are afraid for your health, money is less thrown into the ground than it is thrown in a hospital.” If you want to get poisoned and spend two days tired, this restaurant is the right place. A very bad experience, unclean and tasteless food, and the prices are exaggerated compared to the disaster they offer. I filed a report about them with the health authorities, and you should also file a report about them. Really, shame on you.

Delicious food for a very good price. Shawarma wraps are on point and their mixed grill platter has delicious meats for a group of 3-4 people. Definitely recommend this spot if you crave some middle eastern Halal food. The staff is the most friendiest and will always accommodate as they can for any request.

This lamb chop platter was only $19.99 and so delicious! I can’t believe the prices of this place-it’s an incredible gem of the Northeast. I’m lucky it’s not far from my house! I love the food, so tasty

Ordered a chicken and a beef shawarma in a laffa.
The chicken one was great, 10/10.
The beef one was really not that good. It tasted like boiled beef and was extremely chewy. Overall I would definitely come back, but only for the chicken shawarma.
