Fast market food and smoothies with seating. Despite crowds owner(?) quick to help, upbeat and clear. Pretty much standard lamb and chicken scwarmer/ gyros of Turkish style. Quite special fruit smoothy. Located in middle of Reading Market competing with Greek equivalent and Phillies cheese cake place. So they have to be on their toes and they are. read more

Kamal's serves up tasty Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes, including chicken and beef pitas or platters that come with rice, veggies, and a warm pita. I ordered the chicken shawarma pita and it was wonderful! The portion was generous (my photo only shows it cut in half), and it came packed with fresh veggie toppings. You can choose between hummus, tzatziki, or garlic sauce.. definitely go with the garlic sauce. It adds an incredible extra layer of flavor that really brings the whole dish together. Great place for a quick bite in the historical and busy Reading Terminal Market! read more

I can't speak for their food, but the smoothies are so good! I was walking around Reading Terminal Market looking for a smoothie/juice spot, and saw so many people lined up here getting a drink, so I had to join the line myself. They have different fruit combos you can choose from, or you can pick your own combination. There are also juice shots and pressed juice. The wait wasn't too long on a busy Sunday, and the line moved efficiently. Highly recommend for a refreshing and healthy drink option! read more

Every time we head home to Philly and hit Reading Terminal Market we do our best to try out different food stalls in the never-ending sea of options. This time around I wanted to go on the healthier side and get a smoothie from Kamal's and it did not disappoint! There were plenty of smoothie options, all of which are probably delightful, and the one I got was refreshing and tasty without being too sweet. If you're looking for a relatively healthy drink / snack while at Reading Terminal, Kamal's has some great smoothies read more

Kamal's Middle Eastern Specialties is a tucked-away gem inside Reading Terminal, offering fresh juices, smoothies, and Middle Eastern fare. I grabbed a halva smoothie, a mint lemonade, and a small snack, and the experience was quick, friendly, and satisfying. The halva smoothie was Incredible -- rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with a nutty, sesame-forward flavor that wasn't overly sweet. It honestly tasted like halva in drink form, in the best way. The mint lemonade, on the other hand, wasn't for me -- it was super tart and had a strong, grassy taste that made it hard to finish. For my snack, I tried something savory with walnut and meat (wish I remembered the name), and it was flavorful and satisfying in a small bite. Shoutout to the cashier for not trying to upsell me when I asked for just a little something -- appreciated the low-key, no-pressure vibe. Can't wait to come back and try a full meal next time. The smoothie alone is worth a return trip. read more

Anthony Bourdain is famous for his quote about dining while traveling, which says something along the lines of find the thing that the place you're visiting does better than anywhere else in the world and eat that. I think there is an equal opposite rule, while less famous is just as true that says when you're traveling by all means avoid the thing that the place that you're from is most famous for because you'll only be disappointed. I'm from mature Detroit and unfortunate to have access to some of the best Middle Eastern food in the world. Philadelphia is not Detroit in this regard. I made my way over to Redding terminal market this evening to pick up dinner about a half hour before closing time to find most of the food shops that I wanted to order food from had already closed up for the night. That left me with Kamal's Middle Eastern is one of the few options that were available to me. I ordered the Lamb Euro plate that came with Shawarma salad, rice, a pita and hummus. The entire dish was largely unremarkable. The lamb itself was nothing special kind of just a food service quality euro Cone that was thrown on the grill and cooked up over the course of the day. Nothing like the freshly made Shawarma that I can get at home. The hummus was not all that great. I thought it was a both lumpy and a little runny at the same time and little heavy on the garlic. The Peter was a complete afterthought. It was presented in a plastic bag. I feel a good head, been sitting there for hours. It was crumbly and dry and certainly not like the fresh delicious handmade homemade pita that I can get it home. The rice was filled with vegetables That you get at an elementary school cafeteria lunch. One or two bites of that rice was more than I needed. The portion sizes were fine, but the food just wasn't all that The highlight and the one thing I would go back for the smoothies I've been craving a smoothie for a while saw that they had fresh juices and smoothies at Kamal so I decided to get a coconut and pineapple smoothie and I thought that was very tasty and refreshing. Beyond that there's much better dining options and terminal market. I just need to make sure I get there a little bit sooner than I did tonight . read more

We found Dubai chocolate here Kamals is located inside the Reading Terminal market, so the atmosphere can be a bit loud and crowded. as soon as you walk in from one of the Home2 hotel facing side entrance, it is right there. Staff were super friendly, and took the effort to find out when they will have more dubai chocolate come in since they were sold out for that day. As for the sweets they have here are authentic middle eastern yummies. Real honey, delicious flavor. Definitely recommend. read more

Kamals Middle Eastern Specialties is located in the Reading Terminal Market. Stopping in on a rainy day I ordered a lamb gyro and found it not well balanced. Parts of the wrap were only lettuce, parts were only meat, and the sauce dripped out because there was too much of it. The service was friendly and quick, but our halva shake also wasn't well blended so overall I'd probably give the experience a 3.8 and round up for the service. read more

This was my first time at Reading Terminal and I didn't have a place I wanted to eat at specifically. I chose Kamals because getting a wrap would be the easiest thing to eat if we couldn't find seating. The service was quick and the wait was brief. I ordered the chicken shawarma pita wrap with garlic sauce. It was good, with a solid amount of meat (a bit salty) and a good balance of veggies. Overall, I would come back for the food and try the drinks that other reviews have highlighted! read more

This is a funny reason to rate a place 5 stars, and their food is pretty good, but I LOVE the way the guy at the counter does his job. When you order he is 100% present with you- eye contact, making you feel seen etc (I'm talking like, Bill Clinton level presence), but he's also hyper efficient. As soon as eye contact breaks he is tending to the other orders and making sure things go through effectively. I've seen super long lines at this location but the orders go through super fast. I've ordered juices and smoothies with tons of ingredients and everything is always done perfectly and high quality. It's a pretty cool thing to be able to make people feel seen and heard AND also get through the orders blazing fast, ha, so 5 stars from me. :) read more

Keep in mind that it is not for everyone (my friend did not like it), so if you don't like lemon, mint, and sugar then it may not be for you. The Shish Kabob Sandwich was perfectly balanced with the met the vegetable ratio, but didn't taste super special (still really good though).

Review for the lemonana drink only. Made of "mint, lemon and rose water," it was actually better than I thought. Slightly minty, slightly sour, with a hint of sweetness, but no rose taste though. I ended up getting it two days in a row while I was in Philly. It was refreshing and perfect after a heavy meal. FYI: the menu says $6, but I was charged $6.75 on day 1 and $7.56 on day 2. Same item, a day apart, same menu, but different price... sus... Accepts credit card. read more

So much to love about this place!! It's one of the first places you'll bump into at the Reading Terminal Market. I ordered the meal and it came with falafel in a warm tender pita, fries, and a drink. The price for a meal was crazy good for the quality and amount of food we received. The falafel had all types of flavors that were just melting in our mouths. There was a mint sauce that came with it and is one of the best sauces I've ever had. Everything was cooked and made to perfection. Loved everything about this place! They also sell freshly squeezed juices and smoothies and have a variety of flavors. The workers were also super sweet and hilarious! Overall, we had an amazing experience here and would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a refreshing bite to eat or drink! 10/10 in my books. -because this place is so loved, there are huge lines...but they're so worth it!! read more

This place cannot advertise themselves to be authentic middle eastern food if they can't get the staple, falafel right. Why are falafels a size of giant meat balls? The falafels lack seasoning as well as just taste greasy. It seems all the raving 5 stars are from people who don't know much about middle eastern cuisine. It was not worth the hype. read more

One of the first restaurants you see when you enter from the 12th street entrance closer to Arch St. I couldn't decide between a lamb vs chicken schwarma, but the person behind the counter said he can do a mix of both! He subsequently asked whether I wanted it with hummus vs tzatziki sauce, which I didn't expect to be given the option (I got the tzatziki). I also had a side order of falafel since it was given good reviews. The shwarma was actually pretty big, almost a size of a full hoagie. The entire dish was delicious, and the lamb was especially tasty. I definitely would recommend it. The falafel was a little dry for me, but it was still tasty. Finally, it seems they sell a variety of juices as well, but I didn't try them. Rating: 7/10 Pros: Fastly made, decently priced, large shwarma, tasty lamb Cons: Falafel slightly dry read more

Honeygrow is a regular takeout spot for my family, especially for stir-fried noodles. The food is…read moreconsistently delicious, portions are solid, and I think the price-to-quality ratio is very fair. I can usually feed myself, my wife, and my daughter for around $40. The standard noodle options are all strong, and I'll sometimes add double protein if I'm extra hungry. The seasonal specials are worth trying, too; the Chesapeake crab is a standout. They also have salads, yogurt options, and the brownie is delicious. A big plus is the app, which is intuitive and helpful. The loyalty program actually pays off regularly, which I appreciate. Just as important, the staff here has always been friendly and welcoming. Overall, this is a well-run chain with good ingredients, healthy options, fair pricing, and consistently good food. HG is a solid balance of convenience, value, and quality. Definitely recommend.

I'm partial to the Garlic Chicken stir fry. The pineapples and spice mix so well together. Occasionally, they get the order not exact but otherwise its a good lunch/dinner spot.

First time visiting Bambu here in Philly! I've been to a few locations in the SF Bay area already,…read moreso I am already well familiar with the franchise generally. Shop is on the smaller side, but definitely clean and appealing. Love having Vietnamese music videos on the screen that are chiller and a nice change of pace from other places that are showing sensory overloading K-Pop or anime. Definitely less distracting when eating in. Our group ordered a ton of different things, but I got the #13 Ube Halo Halo. I've had the real stuff in the Philippines, and this was pretty good! We asked for an extra cup to share too, and were able to get that, along with our desserts within minutes of ordering. Not too busy on a Sunday evening, so this place was also a great place to chat. Only 3-4 tables here, so seating can only accommodate smaller groups, especially if there are other groups already.

It's kind of funny that my first review in my new city is for a spot I already know from back home,…read morebut that familiarity is exactly what made me so happy to find it was in my area. It felt like a reliable, consistent, and delicious reminder of home. I ordered the #4 Chè Sương Sa Hạt Lựu, which comes with red tapioca (my favorite!), mung bean, jello, grass jelly, pandan jelly, and coconut milk. The mix of flavors and textures was spot on with chewy, crunchy, smooth, and refreshing elements all in one cup. At first I thought there was a lot of ice but once everything was stirred in, the balance was just right and it kept the dessert cool without diluting the taste. Service was quick and efficient. My order was ready in no time and the staff handled a steady stream of customers with ease. The space itself is small with a few tables and chairs, and it definitely filled up over the hour I was there on a random Monday afternoon. The atmosphere had a casual vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy my chè without feeling rushed. Overall this was a wonderful first stop to review in my new home and I am already looking forward to coming back!

The dish had a strong vinegar flavor, but I didn't notice much of any other spices or salt. The brown rice was overwhelmingly too much and I had to really search for the vegetables. One suggestion: it might be better to serve the ingredients separately, rather than mixing them all together, with the sauce or spices on the side. (Or offer this as an option?)
