    I wanted something different then my normal salad, I saw that this place just recently opened so decided to try it. The order taker / cook was not very inviting...he wasn't mean but I didnt feel warmly welcomed either. The food was very good and ample portion, I had enough to eat the next day for lunch. I would visit again.

    This is inside the small food court area of Franklin/Philadelphia Mills mall near to Old Navy/Walmart/movie theatre. Food was pretty good. Ordered 2 combo over rice platters ($8)-not bad at all! The combo gets you a choice of two items to go over the seasoned yellow rice, along with salad and pita on the side. We got Lamb with chicken and fried fish (choice of talapia or whiting) with chickpeas. Meats were very well seasoned and the salad that comes with was fresh. The whiting was also flavorful and fried nicely (be careful of the bones). The pita was freshly grilled with a little crunch-very good. Rice was ok. We ate in the food court to avoid the food smell permeating the place with the open kitchen. The woman taking the orders seemed a bit annoyed by a customer asking questions about the offerings, but it got sorted out. I'd return if at this mall.

    Good shit. I'd come back to the mall just for this food. So fresh, affordable, and fast. I got the mixed veggie rice plate and literally died. So delicious and great seating.

    For the price I paid is okay. But for me it lacks flavor. If they added Caesar dressing to their salad it would taste better. Place itself is clean and workers use cloves while preparing food. I might orders something else from them maybe it will taste different. Spicy pepper in salad taste good.

    So we came here to the food court after a long afternoon of shopping at Philadelphia mills. We took a chance on aya because it was the only restaurant that was enclosed. All the other restaurants shared the same tables and chairs out in the open. So my husband and I shared the rice and curry and had some Samosa as appetizers. Food was great- service was great and the place was clean- huge plus. The chairs and tables were plenty full and it's great to avoid the open food court.

    Falafel over rice with salad

    Came to the mall to see Black Panther and I was starving afterward. In typical mall fashion, there wasn't much to choose from and we came across this place. There was a good amount of choices on the menu but I love a good Falafel dish. My husband and I ordered the Falafel with rice. Everything is made to order! This platter included about 6 Falafel, yellow rice, salad and pita bread. You can also get fries and a drink. There's a few sauces you can put on it if you like but I got them on the side. I would say I didn't come for air while eating lol. Could have been the combo of me starving and it being delicious. Only complaint was the Falafel was over cooked on the outside so it was hard to cut into. Salad, rice and pita combo I loved. And I always love some fries. I would totally come here again and try out the rest of the menu. If you're tired of the typical pizza or Chinese or cheesesteak or Popeyes at the mall...try here!

    I love coming here and make excuses to come to the mall just so I can eat here!! The staff are very pleasant and greet you when you come in. The food is always fresh and delicious. This place beats any food truck that sells Mediterranean food anywhere!!! The samosas are to die for with the green sauce.

    This is a Middle East style restaurant. It is located in Philadelphia Franklin Mills near by AMC movie theater. Waitresses are super nice, patient and beautiful. We ordered a lamb curry and a combo over rice. The food is yummy and the price is reasonable.

    Chicken over rice, white and hot sauce, salad, pita,

    This was great! My first time having halal food and I'm impressed. All the food was really good. The staff was extremely nice and personable. I got the chicken over rice meal, which comes with a side of fries and a drink. The place was also really clean. After the few meals they made, they were wiping down the counters and cleaning the grill!

    Great food...

    These guys are legit, they know how to cook and serve with a smile. We went towards the end of the day on Black Friday and were surprised to see a smile on their face when other vendors were trying to get rid of customers to close down. And it was our best decision, delicious tasty food after a long day of shopping is all we needed. Very clean and accommodating to all our request. 5-star in my book and a must visit to all Mediterranean food fans...move over halal boys there's a new sheriff in town...Aya Kitchen!!

    Stopped here for a quick bite. The staffs were very friendly. The service was quick. The food was amazing. I ordered combo (chicken & lamb) over rice. One of the best i had so far. I definitely recommend it and will definitely come again.

This place is beyond popular as I walked in and there was a line and it was just loud. Not a bad thing, just shows that they don't play around here. The service was exceptional as the line did progress quickly, the man at the register easily understood the multiple meals, and the food came out quickly and was served to our table. I had the beef shawarma maroosh way which usually comes with beef, pickles, tomatoes, and garlic sauce (egg allergy so I removed it). It was so tasty, the flavors just went crazy. The rest of my family had the kefta kabob sandwich, cheesesteak (raved about and apparently very highly rated), chicken shish tawook sandwich, falafel with taboulay sandwich, and rice pudding (not pictured). Honestly, regardless of if you eat halal or not, this is a must try restaurant. The vast options on the menu can be overwhelming but you get bang for your buck as they load up on your order.

    Marrakesh is one of my absolute favorite places to eat in Philadelphia!!…read more I wish it existed in more cities. This is a multicourse journey through Marrakesh that cannot be repeated anywhere else except for maybe in the real Marrakesh. From the Bastilla pastry, which is DIVINE, to the salads, the chicken and kebabs... all the way to the baklava and tea.... there is no bad bite at Marrakesh. The owners are welcoming and super amenable and make you feel like you're coming home every single time you visit. It's in a odd location, and you may feel like you are making a questionable life decision as you walk up the alley to the door, but when you arrive, you realize that in fact, it was one of the best decisions you've made in years!! When you enter, it's like you've been transported to a beautiful room in Morocco. The music, the decor, even the authentic seating make for an unforgettable experience. And if you get really lucky, you also get to see the belly dancers who are top notch! There is not a single thing I can think of to say that Marrakesh needs to improve. It is a one of a kind experience that I feel everyone should have at least once in life!

Since I hadn't been for so long, I ate everything as was prepared - but I'm happy to hear it sounds like they have veg options on their tasting menu.
