They served the falafel almost burned and raw in the middle. When the oil is too hot you'll burn food on the outside before the center is cooked. The center was mush because the dough was too moist to begin with. Although they have a pretty good variety on their shelves they don't mark items with the price. They don't include a receipt so you'll never know what you paid for the items. That's shady. Not for me. read more

This place is definitely worth visiting. Granted, it's nothing fancy but the food is fantastic. They just moved from a smaller location next door and it looks like they are still settling in to their new store. This is both a market where you can purchase Middle Eastern products such as olive oil, snacks, numerous types of dates, yogurts, etc. However, they also cook some amazingly tasty dishes that you can take home with you or eat in the store. Keep in mind, they only have about four tables if you want to dine at the store. The two guys who run the place are as nice as you'll find anywhere and explained what was in several of the dishes. I had the Shakshuka and Chicken Shawarma. I was blown away by how good the Chicken Shawarma tasted. Definitely the best I've had in NEPA. The Shakshuka was fantastic and it came with an entire bag Taboon Bread that was nice and warm. I ended up taking most of the bread home and will eat it with dinner tonight. I intend to try everything on this menu eventually and the next dish is definitely going to be Kabsa. Oh, and the also make cheesesteaks which at first I thought was strange for a mid-east restaurant but so many people have told me that they are one of the best they've ever tasted. read more

Amazing food and amazing place the food is the best I would definitely recommend and go back

A great low-key market that serves chicken over rice, falafel, and many other items and groceries from the Middle East. Located in Wilkes-Barre, this place may be easy to miss as it's within a residential neighborhood and an overall quiet environment. No bright lights or anything that screams "Eat here!" This is definitely one of those locations that you need to look for or be introduced to. Otherwise, it's easy to find using any GPS and there's plenty of street parking. Given this location is technically a deli, I've only ordered takeout. However, there is indoor seating (seems more for convenience rather than an actual dine-in experience). You won't get a restaurant experience but rather a fast-food eat-in experience if that makes sense. Regardless, the location is comfortable and clean. Similarly, the workers are friendly and welcoming and have never given me an issue. I've ordered the falafel and the chicken over rice (biryani and the other option I don't remember currently) and they've both been tasty. The biryani offers mainly boneless meat (though sometimes it depends on availability and you might have to ask for that option) and it's a huge meal. The meal is well seasoned and the aroma is encapsulating. The falafel is great though not the best I've had (on the drier side) but tasty nonetheless. Falafel can come with salad if you want or on its own, with the option of 6 or 12 falafel balls. The food is prepared relatively quick and I've never waited too long (about 20 min max when the falafel is being prepared). I haven't tried any other food options here. Aside from the food, I haven't tried anything else in the market, though it all looks good! They have plenty of groceries and ingredients for one to make your own dishes or to add some variety to what you're already used to. Overall, the food here is great if you're on the go, want something healthy, and/or are in the mood for some middle eastern food. The prices are great for what you get. I recommend take-out but dining-in is an option. Either way, give this place a try! read more

Keep an eye on this place... Good things to come, I'm sure. Stopped here for dinner tonight. Good kebabs, great rice, and the salad that comes with it is delicious. The real star of the meal was the felafel and hummus. The felafel was perfectly seasoned and fried. The hummus was creamy with the freshest tasting olive oil. I really look forward to a return visit. Update: The name's been changed to Jerusalem Halal Market, but the food is just as great as the last time I was there. They often run an afternoon buffet on the weekends and that's a great opportunity to try several dishes. Plus, only $8 per person! read more
