The crispy chicken cheesesteak shawarma was that good that it didn't even make it for me to take a picture. Will definitely be coming back again read more

Bishos - WAS a Crispy Shawarma Cheesesteak (Chicken) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I came early today to feed the supper rush. Service was very wonderful. Lots of staff doing their job and taking care of everyone. We ordered the baba ghanoush for an appetizer and it came with pita bread. Very delicious!! Thin for an entrée, we both ordered a chicken Shawarma! It was very delicious and fresh and the chicken was fresh, cooked to perfection and lovely flavor!! We ordered the strawberry mint lemonade and a regular mint lemonade drink. It is so fashion delicious and exciting and refreshing.. On such a hot summer day, this really was such a perfect meal. And the music was beautiful!! I would love to come back!! read more

Falafel is something I crave once in a blue, and today, I remembered Bishos was walking distance from my house. I had never been there before. I decided to order the viral crispy falafel for myself and a viral crispy chicken shawarma combo for my fiancé from Bishos. I placed my order at 4:06 PM online and walked into the store 20 minutes later. It still wasn't ready so I sat down and enjoyed the lovely ambiance inside. Plenty of seating for customers, an area for photo ops and dates and water for those participating in Ramadan were just some of the perks I noticed. The employees appeared to have been speaking Spanish and they were all friendly with one another. It's clean and airy inside. I definitely want to come back and sit down for a meal. Prices were fair - about $34 for a combo meal (with fries and drink) and my falafel wrap. That includes a service fee and a 10% tip. 15 more minutes had gone by and the woman behind the counter brought my food to me packaged tight inside a brown paper bag. When I arrived at home, that first bite into the viral crispy falafel was unreal. It was so pleasing to hear the crunch, but most importantly, it tasted amazing. The falafel was fresh and so were the other ingredients. My fiancé got the combo with French fries and I can confirm the fries are crispy and seasoned very well. This is my new go-to whenever the taste for falafel hits. Thanks, Bishos! read more

Stopped in for lunch after craving shawarma. The food is delicious and authentic. Inside are sights and sounds of Palestine that felt warming to the soul. The menu is packed with must try dishes. I had the chicken Shawarma wrap. Everything was hot, fresh and full of flavor. The sauces are the icing on the cake, so good! The selection of toppings is extensive. There is something for every palate! read more

They serve healthy and flavorful wraps. I ordered mine for delivery. The time in transit likely affected the texture but overall it was a pretty good lunch. I will say the pomegranate sauce may be better for dark meats or with a cream sauce. I got it for my chicken breast wrap. Otherwise ingredients were fresh and well cooked. read more

Amazing food. Tried the Viral Crispy Shawarma (Chicken) and I can see why everyone raved about it. Ginormous and so delicious. I also got the combo: One Kifta Kabab, One Chicken Kabab, & One Lamb Chop. Everything was charred & seasoned to perfection. Loved that they put it on a wrap base to avoid spilling/leakage; Allowed me to turn my leftovers into a sandwich. Everything reheated amazingly and possibly even better the next day. Removed one Star because they forgot to send me my full Family Special (3 Medium Apps); I received the Fries but not the Hummus & Baba Gannouj. I requested a refunded of the appetizers which they processed. I'll definitely try in person next time! read more

Dude , don't believe anything on the internet. today i found out it's all bs. Shawarma bread burnt , the tablet they have don't even have the same options as the one the customers use. they was being hella cheap, there was like literally maybe 2 pc of meat on there. I lifted 1 nacho and all this hardened cheese was stuck to it. Under that was basically straight chips no type of anything on it. I got none of the toppings i ordered in my sandwich, no diced tomatoes, like 3 pcs of fries in the whole thing and the meat was hard. Basically threw 42$ in the trash very disappointing. -------------- Edited ------------------- My stomach hurts. read more

Besides the 30 mins wait.... First time here and it was SO SO SO good I would recommend for Mediterranean food! Am definitely coming back read more

Unacceptable service. I waited over 30 minutes for my food while my friend, who ordered after me, got his first. To make it worse, other customers who came in after us were being served before I was. I asked about my order and was told they'd "get to it soon," with no apology or explanation. After waiting even longer, my friend had to say something again, and that's when the cashier finally realized I was still waiting. At that point, I was already fed up and ready to ask for a refund. I was then told they would "push my order to be done faster," which honestly made no sense. If that was an option, it should've happened much earlier instead of serving everyone else first. The apology eventually came, but it was way too late and didn't fix anything. I ended up not even taking the food because the whole experience left such a bad taste. Very poor communication, disorganized service, and extremely disappointing overall. I won't be coming back read more

Stopped in here on a Friday early evening for dinner. You order at the counter and then they call you when your order is ready. I thought the prices were very good for the portions you got. I enjoyed a hummus bowl that had veggies in it and falafel. I got a meal so i picked a salad and a bottle of water to go with it. There was so much food! My boyfriend liked his dinner as well! The restaurant looked fairly new. Nicely decorated and clean. I will be back for another hummus bowl! read more

Stopped in here twice for recent lunches. On-street parking was easily found right up front. The staff was much livelier on my second visit. First time it didn't seem like anyone wanted to be bothered. Second time, I had smiles and at least a thank you! The inside was not crowded, but there were people coming in for take out and a few other diners besides myself. The table situation is spread out pretty good and there is Arabic music playing softly in the dining area. I'd call ahead if you're in a rush. The wait was about ten minutes on both trips. I went with Shawarma both times, the first was chicken second was a mix of lamb and beef. It is a big portion so I went sans fries on the second trip. The Saj bread was huge, but thin and fresh and it kept the wraps together extremely well. The meat was finely cut up and lightly seasoned. Both wraps included cucumber, tomato, tahini/garlic sauce and a side of shatta hot sauce (think red chili sauce). I thought both wraps were good, but a tad too heavy on the tahini sauce. Nothing bad, nothing great. Might have to go Kabab over rice and have some hummus on a future visit and report back. Prices were decent overall. read more

I love this place! My go to is the chicken shawarma over mixed salad. It is Delicious! Beautifully spiced, tender chicken, pickled turnips, tomatoes, onions topped with the best garlic dressing ever. Have tried multiple menu items and enjoyed them all. Never had a bad meal. Staff is friendly, helpful and accommodating. If you are in the area drop by and enjoy. read more

Food was delicious! Fries were very crispy and the wraps were properly seasoned. We really enjoyed what we ordered & would definitely go back! After satisfying your salty craving, you can head over next door to Le Souk for a sweet treat. My only qualm with the place is that I had to wait quite a while for this order, despite the restaurant being empty. Will be returning! read more

This place is very stylish for rockledge and has a lovely decor and the service was fine. Our chicken shawarma was warm and great but lacked any spices not spicy as in Mexican or Thai food but spices as in flavorful and tasty, like, for example, that place on Cottman between Church road and Central avenue. Our falafel was similar lacking flavorful taste. The place is lovely the service is fine the food is fresh and ok but just tasteless. If they came up with some new recipes this place would be dynamite! Now? Eh... read more

Best shawrma you can get I tried many places but this one is the best! You should try there falafel too you will not be disappointed read more

Best middle eastern/ mediterranean food in this immediate area. Veggies are fresh, falafel and shwarma is always delicious and their seasonings and sauces are amazing. My only issue is they never remember to give me shatta sauce. Please bishos you would be perfect if you remembered the shatta. Its been a recurring issue since it opened! read more

I'm not that well versed in Middle Eastern cuisine but I have had The Halal Guys before so I kind of had an idea of what I would be getting at Bisho's. My co worker happens to love Chicken Shawarma so she ordered this from Bisho's and shared some with me. It was very good and the portion was huge. I placed an order of my own a few days later. I went with the Beef/Lamb Rice Bowl and got the recommended toppings except onions. These toppings included tomato, cucumber, lettuce and some kind of pickled vegetable I could not identify. All of this was topped with a Tahini sauce and I think it was this sauce that ruined the dish for me. I should have done some homework or asked for the sauce on the side. I guess I thought because it was white it would be akin to the Halal Guys famous white sauce but it was not that at all. It tasted sour to me and unappealing. Because they give a generous portion I shared the rest with my mom. I also don't think I like lamb and beef mixed together either. I would definitely try them again but I would stick with the chicken and whatever sauce comes with that. I also got the babagnooj and understood that it was eggplant which I like baked in the oven so I thought this would not be bad. It wasn't bad but I was not prepared for the amount of garlic. So much so that I could not eat any more of it for my lunch because I feared having to speak to customers with that on my breath. This was the type of garlic saturation that gets in your pores. read more

Enjoyed it here. Sister came from Jersey to do lunch with me here. It was delicious & we followed it up by going next door to Le Souk for a crepe which was equally enjoyed. We'll be back to both! read more

Bishos continues to provide excellent food at a reasonable cost. I've tried all the vegetarian dishes, and they're all great! The hummus is rich, and creamy . The baba ghanoush is redolent with garlic and olive oil, as opposed to be heavily laden with tahini. The foul is very flavorful and packed with protein. The cheese, Za'atar bread is kind of like a Middle Eastern quesadilla containing cheese, and za'atar seasoning on their delicious saj bread. I prefer the chicken kebab to the chicken Shawarma. The kebab is well seasoned and the grilling gives it extra flavor. All their entrées are available as a wrap, over rice, as a hoagie, or on a salad. You get to choose six additional toppings. I love the toum(garlic sauce) & amba(sweet curry sauce) and then add four more vegetables. My only issue with that is they don't really give you enough toppings. The falafel is very well seasoned but a little dry. Strangely, it's not available in a pita, but you can get it as a wrap or anything else mentioned above. The food is always impeccably fresh & is halal. Customer service(especially the dark haired girl with the glasses) is outstanding! If you order direct from their website you will receive either five dollar off or 10% off coupons pretty frequently. I usually get it to go, but there is seating available inside. Be sure to check out their Le Souk market for desserts and all types of Middle Eastern spices grains, snacks, etc. review of that to follow. read more

Bishos - Chicken Shawarma, over rice with falafel, baba ghanoush, and a side of tahini - Middle Eastern Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Caught a Facebook review for this place yesterday and we decided to stop in today after seeing the plates. What a great place to grab dinner (or lunch or a snack) Started with the baba ganoosh. Yummy! The pita wedges were perfectly cooked and we came close to licking the bowl it was so good. The lamb chops were outstanding!!! Absolutely delicious. Perfectly seasoned. Cheese fries! Yummo! Perfectly seasoned. Perfectly fried. Just the right amount of cheese to fries. The falafel rice bowl incredible. Sauce delicious. Rice was perfectly cooked. Nicole was absolutely great in taking care of us and making great suggestions. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Bishos used to be one of my favorites but, not anymore. I've ordered the chicken kabab salad bowl pretty frequently for two years with pickles, cucumbers, turnip and cabbage. Tonight it came with drastically less lettuce (typically comes with about 3 cups of lettuce, tonight was 1/2 cup) 3 pickles, no cucumbers, and a few turnips. I called to find out what happened and was offered no remedy. They just said they ran out of cucumbers and these are the amounts the managers want them to use. I don't know if there if there has been a change in management recently but, unfortunately I will no longer be eating here and I would advise you do the same. read more

Stopped in for the first time today while in the area and got the chicken shawarma rice bowl. I picked my toppings and the guy waiting on me recommended a sauce (garlic). The food was really good!!! It was flavorful and tasted very fresh. I wish I lived closer to this place so I could go back again tomorrow!!! When I'm in the area I will definitely be back. read more

I'm a good Pennsylvania Dutch cook. When we go out for meals, we love to try various other cultures foods. Bishos was a great. Definitely prepared with care and good ingredients.

Great little place not far from Huntingdon Valley that serves Middle Eastern and Mediterrarean food. Tried the hummus and baba gannoug as an appetizer. Hummus was great, baba gannoug was good, never had before. Daughter got Chicken Shawarma and I had the Lamb Shawarma. Both were very good. Very relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff. read more

Love this place. It's small and has a lot of natural lighting but I especially love the presentation and taste of their samplers.

Excellent food. Reasonably priced. Quick service. Overall excellent experience and really liked it.

Nicole provided exceptional customer service, carefully attending to my needs and offering expert guidance on the menu. Her outstanding service, combined with the delicious food, made for a truly enjoyable experience that would bring me back again. read more

Yay so happy this is finally in the neighborhood as it's normally just pizza, cheesesteaks or Chinese around here! This place used to be in Roosevelt mall but this new spot is much roomier. I ordered pickup through their website. I ordered: - family sampler (pick 3 apps - I chose hummus baba gannouj and falafel). ($11; individual sides $2.50 for small or $4.50 for regular). Comes with pita - Chicken shawarma Saj wrap ($7 for wrap or $9 for combo which comes with fries and a drink) - beef/lamb shawarma rice bowl ($8/$10 combo) -pizza Saj bread. This was new I usually love to get the lemonana which is a lemon mint slushy and super yummy but it was so cold on opening day. So definitely happy to have something new/yummy/affordable in the neighborhood! They have delivery as well. read more

A not-fussy-but-comfortable place for delicious Palestinian food and a great price. Love the chicken shawarma, which you can get as a wrap or a bowl with rice and vegetables of your choice. The food is fresh and ample and tastes great. Try the kanafeh for dessert. read more

Their saj shawarma sandwiches and bites are amazing. Tasty and authentic. The place is very nice and the owner and staff are also very nice. Have been here two times for takeouts and the food was wonderful. We also tried their appetizers which were amazing particularly the fool dish which is one of the best I had in the US. They have also a saj with mixed cheese and zaatar which is really amazing for breakfast or brunches. Highly recommend the place and would definitely be here again read more

This is a place you must try - everything was great from the food, cost, service, etc. i read about this place on thenortheastlife's Instagram and it did not disappoint. I ordered from their website but you can also call in with your order. I ordered the chicken shawarma saj wrap probably 30 minutes before it was closing but I called in advance to make sure they were still taking orders and luckily they still were! When I went to pick it up, I believe I talked to the owner and she was so sweet and gave me extra sauces as well. Their food is very reasonably priced for the portions you get. As you can see in my picture, even I was in disbelief in how big the wrap is. It was so flavorful and I will definitely be back to try more items. read more

Bishos - Middle Eastern Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is fantastic, especially for the price. I had a lamb shwarma wrap that was comically oversized and absolutely delicious. Hummus and baba ganoush were both quite good as well. The only food that I didn't love was a cheese-stuffed za'atar saj bread. It was fine-- just a bit salty for my taste. What really makes this a slam dunk is the value. The food is very good and very affordable. When I saw pitas for 75 cents, I assumed that was the price for a small wedge. Nope. I ended up with six full pitas. Atmosphere is nice and service was extremely friendly. My order was very slightly delayed and they threw in a box of baklava on the house. I will most certainly be back. read more

Bishos is a hidden gem of NE Philly. Everything about the place, service, and food was amazing. The food was reasonably priced. Everything we got costed less than 40$. The majority of people there were ordering take out but they have a couple of dine in options as well (booth seats, single tables, or window seating). We ordered in the front and then took a seat waiting for our order (which came out in less than 10 minutes even with them being pretty busy). We got the lamb shawarma wrap, kifta kebab wrap combo with Lemonana (3$ extra since the combo typically comes with soda) and the personal special (3 personal size apps with pita). The saj wrap and the kifta kebab wrap was so good. The meat was flavorful but didn't feel overpowering or too much because of the fresh veggies and pickle. The seasoned fries were amazing, crispy outside and hot and soft insides (what more can you ask for from fries). The size of the personal special was enough for two people to finish with extras. The hummus was good. The baba gannouj was savory with a hint of sweetness. What made the Arab Salad shine was the dressing (olive oil, lemon juice, and something else). It was really strong. Still good and refreshing but just a bit too acidic for my taste. The Lemonana wasn't too sweet, a nice palate cleanser. I would highly recommend if you like minty things. I cannot wait to come back again and even check out the market next door, which is own by the same family. read more

Came here for lunch for first time. Tried the beef and chicken shawarma sandwiches. The bread is excellent, would highly recommend the saj bread.

The location is good, there was free parking on the street however, this is the first place that I've experienced that doesn't serve falafel in a pita. The falafel is served as a hoagie or on a wrap (neither of which I am a fan of). The wrap was soggy and doughy and falafel tasted like it was sitting. The young woman who was taking the orders was not rude but her demeanor was not welcoming. I will give this place 1 more try. read more

I live right around the corner so I decided finally try some food in here. I ordered chicken shawarma and I upgraded it to combo with soft drink and fries. So the food was really good! Crispy but soft inside fries, generous stuffing inside the shawarma, and omg the size! It was really nice food. But I'm not sure what happened, but they forgot to add a soft drink. So please, be more attentive next time. Definitely will coming back! read more

Can't be better!! I recommend the felafel over french fries, with garlic sauce. So tasty! Comes with a bit of salad and hummus. And guilt free for takeout- they use paper containers. This is one of the best places in all of Philly and super affordable, yes as inexpensive as a halal truck. Way to go Bishos! Next door see their beautiful shop also to pick up some za'atar or fancy spices read more

Delicious food! I had the lamb shawarma over rice, which was one of several options available for serving. (Next time I visit I'm going to try a shawarma cheesesteak!) You also get your choice of up to 6 toppings for your shawarma, so lots of room for customization! The hummus was absolutely fantastic, as was the pita bread. Don't miss Le Souk market right next door if you're here for some delicious goods to take home! read more
