Love this place. The roasted eggplant is absolutely delicious. Just call ahead because it closes for minor Jewish holidays.

This wonderful delightful kosher spot is a community gem. Went there on a Monday night for our anniversary and the joint was jumping. Service is wonderful and friendly and the menu is amazing for Israeli and Middle Eastern treats. Families and couples were there and the vibe is wonderful. We had take out from there five years ago and it did not arrive well, but going there is a completely different experience and we highly recommend it. Try the soups...they can't be beat and the fresh warm pita is to die for. We had the salmon, Jerusalem mix and Salads...all delicious...Enjoy, already! read more

Food was great but they had Veal Liver on the menu and served beef liver instead--- receipt listed beef liver!

We love the Lamb Kufta Kebabs and Israeli Salad. Since my girl comes from a Kosher and family background, we love Lamb and Kosher meats. Not my first time having Lamb Kebabs, we knew we were going to love them with the Israeli Salad. Nice service and place to eat. Food is moderately priced. We were greeted and seated amongst a small crowd, Real professional and kind staff. I will be coming back to Judah Mediterranean Grill. read more

it is the second time in a row that this happens and that is why I am writing it here because they do not seem to care about customers. first time they forgot half of my order, second time I asked for them to double check that everything is in there and again they forgot one part of my order! this time, I won't go back for sure! read more

My first trying this place out i was working in the area and decided to have lunch here..I am about a hummus platter which i was referred to try the Hummus explosion or something like this it was $14 the amount of hummus i was given was straight disrespectful and a slap in the face it was enough for a child the falafel that came with it were the size of chick fila nuggets not filling not satisfying...I won't be going here again overpriced and extremely small portions read more

Food was good but way overpriced, I also wish they let us know that they add their own gratuity to the price. I don't know if they do that to everyone or she just saw my family and assumed we weren't going to tip. Overall, I wish the customer service was better and they would not make me feel so out of place. read more

Clean, kind, courteous, food is delicious! A definite yes! So many choices. Wait staff was very helpful and accommodating.

Everything about this place is great! Awesome authentic Israeli food in the heart of NE Philly with warm, welcoming and attentive staff. All negative reviews are from a bunch of pissed off Jihadists that can't stomach the fact that Jews exist. read more

this restaurant has a nice and tasty food, good atmosphere. service have been also good.Service was fast and friendly.

The place is a typical sit down place with some classic decor. Nothing too fancy. We went in expecting some decent food, but was sorely disappointed. The staff was very nice though. My friend and I ordered the Moroccan cigars which is filled with ground beef. They were ok, not too much flavor and it was less ground beef texture but more paste like texture. The meat has very little flavor and what flavor profile it has reminds me of the cheap taquitos that you can easily buy at the grocery store. The lamb Pita was decent. A good amount of lamb stuff into the pita. The flavor was missing though. The meat could have done with more seasoning. The "hot sauce" wasn't too spicy, tasted like a slightly spicy marinara sauce. My friend got the shawarma pita. I'd recommend avoiding it. It was overpriced for slightly curry tasting chicken that was dry. Whatever flavor was overwhelmed by the filling and was still under seasoned. The one good thing I can say is their pita is pretty solid compare to other places I have tried. All in all, it was def not worth the money that was spent there. Everything was overly priced for the quality of food especially the Moroccan cigars. Better off buying some taquitos. Should be more like 4-5 dollars instead of 12 dollars. Lamb pita was filling but under seasoned, I would have been ok with 10 dollars, def not worth the 15 dollars. It was hard to decide between 1 or 2 stars, but the steep price and with the quality of food made it a 1. read more

Grabbed takeout today. Falafel is super yummy, Israeli salad is fresh, and it was quick at Wednesday, 3:30pm.

Great food at this restaurant! Nice selection of food and nice staff at Judah Mediterranean!

Roach crawled right in front of us while we were ordering and the food was mediocre. The people working were nice but they really have to do a deep clean and work on their cleanliness. read more

My mom's birthday gathering impressed 33 of our close family and friends, including some fussy cousins, decided to bring back 12 friends and still the food was tasty, cooked properly, seasoned well, and authentic Israeli dishes. I will return again. read more

Great place, great delicious fresh food, great people working there. Great place, great delicious fresh food, great people working there

Their food is delicious and there are so many options, especially for vegetarians. My sons like their schnitzel and lamb. My mom and I always split a salad platter (their babaganoush is impeccable, as is their purple cabbage salad) and some falafel. The ambiance is homey, and unassuming, and the service is consistently friendly. Great place for kids and adults alike. I only wish it were closer! read more

Enjoyable meal. Lives up to its reputation. Nice to have this option in the community. Can't wait to return sometime soon!

Great food- we had a family dinner to celebrate and the food was absolutely delicious, I highly recommend!

We went out to eat the other night with some folks who only eat Kosher. Judah was the closest (and only) Kosher restaurant nearby, and the reviews looked good, so we figured what the hell, let's give it a shot. We were intrigued by the menu, which is full of Israeli favorites like schnitzel, shawarma, kabobs, hummus, etc. The shawarma in particular looked awesome in the Yelp photos and I was excited to check it out. I have been on a somewhat melancholy journey in the US over the last few years in search of authentic shawarma, which I loved when I lived in the Middle East. Most places that offer shawarma actually serve a rendition of gyro meat, which is not shawarma at all. Anyway Judah came through big time! The spice profile was spot on and the succulent and slightly crispy lamb was great! My family went with kufta kabobs and reported that they were great too. Overall, everyone seemed to really enjoy their food. Even the little ones ate well! I do have to mention that this place is somewhat expensive for what it is, even considering the good food. It's basically a casual, unpretentious shawarma/falafel joint, but the entrees were close to $20 each which I felt was high. Not insanely high, but still high. In the end though, I was pleasantly surprised to find this great restaurant and despite the steep bill I really enjoyed the experience. Four stars and a solid recommendation from me. read more

Always delicious. Either for pickup or dine in. Bring a nice bottle of Kosher wine. It has to be Kosher, or just leave or in the car!) I have tried a lot of things on the menu over the years. Never disappointed. For desert try the chocolate balls. They are amazing! read more

We did a very large catering order for our synagogue and not only was the food FANTASTIC, but Yalli at Judah Grill was so lovely to work with. We will definitely be ordering again! read more

When I walked into Judah Mediterranean Grill the manager announced "best shawarma in the Northeast!" To say I was skeptical was an understatement because I was visiting from New York City where there is excellent Shawarma to be found. But alas, the woman was right! The shawarma was incredible -- a perfect balance of chicken, lamb, salad, tehina all nestled in the freshest, most delicious pita. I could not recommend this place more highly for a quick, delicious lunch. read more

This is the third time I've eaten here over the past two years. If I lived closer, I'd come more often. The first time was a family reunion. I remember the reunion more than the food. The family is Israeli, and they enjoyed dinner. The second time I went with a kosher friend. It was at closing time. We were the only customers as they were cleaning up. The grill/oven was off. They offered us anything cold or whatever did not need to be cooked. They graciously served us. They told us to stay and eat till they had finished. I've been to many restaurants that would not have served us or allowed us, or if they did, for take-out only. I went with a group on Sunday. The meal was pre-ordered. We had beet, eggplant, and cabbage salads plus humus and baba ganoush. The entre was lamb kofta and turkey schwarma. Service was friendly, and they cleared serving plates as we finished. Both times everything was delicious. read more

HUGE disappointment! I rave about Mediterranean food because it's delicious and created with care. I had high hopes for Judah after a Jewish friend recommended it! Last night I ordered a shawarma platter with rice and salad $22.95 + shawarma in pita $12. Every bite had hard chicken or burnt chicken pieces. The portions were completely awful and the flavor was not worth the price by a landslide! As soon as I looked at the food, I knew appearance wise it was as not worth more than $6. I won't be returning here. read more

Judah Mediterranean Grill - Shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Best shawarma and falafel in Philly , great food , great service, clean and delicious food.

I was a member of a suburban Philly synagogue group of 11 (foodies) that had brunch, yesterday, at Judah Mediterranean Grill. We've all been to Israel, & regularly dine at our favorite local Israeli & other Middle Eastern restaurants. While some in our group had previously dined at JMG, most of us were first timers. WOW, were we happy to have discovered this family-owned oasis tucked into a shopping center in NE Philly! It looked & felt like, & had the authentic aromas & palate-pleasers, reminiscent of cafes we've enjoyed in Jerusalem & Tel Aviv. The staff was friendly & attentive; portions were large & attractive; & prices were easy on the wallet. We shared a variety of luscious appetizers & entrees, family style, providing an amazing array of delectable tastes & aromas. My favorite, tender & savory falafels, tucked into warm, substantial pitas, with delicious babaganoush, purple cabbage, hummus & tahini, were the best I've had in years. Moroccan carrots, Moroccan eggplant & Mediterranean beets rounded out the fresh & scrumptious sides. Lamb kufta kabobs & Chicken scampi were the meat courses selected, & were tasty, tender & delectable. My wife & I are already planning our next date at JMG, & bringing family & friends! read more

We have been getting food from this restaurant for years even before the pandemic. Our dinner on Sunday was not up to their usual standards. We got a personal salad assortment and for salads were put in a small sandwich container and squashed together. Why? The chicken livers were hard as a rock. The rice tasted like minute rice and the Israeli salad was acidic and bitter. The Mediterranean platter, not cheap and the portions were very small. As I said we have gotten food and eat in there since it opened. I think I'm going to try Pita pocket read more

We had lunch here for my extended family after my mother's unveiling. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all excellent! The folks at Judah handled our crowd of about 25 hungry relatives with skill and courtesy! Did I mention the food was great? Thank you to the entire staff!! read more

Stopped here for a work lunch and what a wonderful lunch we had! We wanted hummus- and this was undoubtedly the best hummus I've ever had- how do they get it so creamy!!!? AND THAT PITA!! Pea soup was less viscous than my Italian self is used to (not pork based) but it was seasoned to perfection! And a great temperature. I had shawarma (like their version of a chicken cheese steak without the cheese) with babagaboush (sour creamy eggplant) and an Israeli salad (cucumber and tomato with vinegar). The flavors went great together! My partner got Kabob Kufta (like a deliciously seasoned beef burger on a skewer) with yellow rice. Staff was so friendly (helped explain menu) and we loved the decor! Thanks Judah's! read more

Delicious food! Great variety in the menu . Gracious service. Lamb, babaghanoush, hummus, etc., authenticity superb.

I have been to Judah several times, and the food is always awesome, particularly the specials. The server is pleasant and polite. The soups are homemade and delicious. They don't discriminate against people who don't keep kosher. When I saw the glatt kosher sign, I didn't know if I would be welcome, but all are welcome. The prices are reasonable. I hope to continue eating at Judah for a long time to come. read more
