Oh my gosh!! This is probably the next Halal I've had in a very long time. We had the chicken platter with a side of hummus. It was so yummy! The platters are big enough to feed two people. The employees here were kind and helpful. read more

Ordered takeout from here. This restaurant is located inside the mall (which I did not expect). Casual setting. The food was ready when I picked it up so the service was great! Ordered a gyro and beef sandwiches. Everything was flavorful, I wish there was a little more meat though. read more

Stopped by here for lunch after shopping at the mall; literally could not believe how good the food was! I got the lamb gyro wrap w/ fries and a drink for $13 (great value!) and the food was freshly made and delicious. My friend got the falafel wrap and loved her meal as well. The food came out super quickly and the workers were very nice and friendly definitely come here if you need a meal after a long day of shopping! read more

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. read more

ZARA HALAL GRILL - Mediterranean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

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. read more

Easily the best halal platter place in the area. Tend to get overlooked because its a cart on the side of a gas station but don't let that fool you. This is a hidden gem in the Bensalem area that will make you come visit over and over. We try to come here at least once a week. A major fan of the chicken/lamb rice combo. Always ask for extra white and hit sauce. The falafel platter is also great as they're fried to perfection and still somehow piping hot when I get home. Prices are about average for one of these carts, least from my experiences elsewhere. I legit could eat this daily. You'd be missing out if you don't take a chance on this place. read more

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. read more

This is an amazing experience please give it a try the falafel sandwich on pita is great SOOOO good that I'm getting an order of lamb biryani to go Im told its very spicy so I'm gonna LOVE it cause the hot sauce on the falafel was great too! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Delicious! I just started working in the area and went to the mall food court for lunch.This place looked like the most appealing option and I was not disappointed. It was right at 11:00 and I was their first customer. The man working was extremely friendly and took care of my order in a quick fashion. I waited about 5-7 minutes, I didn't think that was bad for first opening. I got the Combo Chicken & Lamb over rice, it was so good. The amount of food and quality of food was well worth the price. I couldn't even finish it all. Everything had great flavor! I will definitely be back! I'm looking forward to trying many other items from their menu. read more

ZARA HALAL GRILL - Chicken over rice, white and hot sauce, salad, pita, - Mediterranean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

i am a real falafel foodie...'cause i am NOT gonna tell you that i've never met a falafel i didn't like! THIS, my friends, is not one of them. THIS is probably...no...this IS the best falafel i have had in a looooooong time! not only is it cooked to perfection - NOT dry - but the sauce was so different from what i am used to. i asked if it was tzatziki and the guy said it was, but their own recipe. well, guys, don't ever stray from it because it's amazing! so, i had a falafel "sandwich" on a perfect pita with, as they put it, white sauce & hot sauce (just a little hot sauce) with fresh veggies on it but no so much as to overpower the sandwich. my husband had a sandwich with beef - similar prep, but he had more hot sauce than i did - and we shared a yummy salad. the salad had tzatziki and feta and it was also terrific. i never leave a salad unfinished but the meals was really filling, so...unfinished it was. i have wanted to try this place before but only noticed it last time we were at phila mills when we were on our way out. SERIOUSLY...check them out...you will be glad you did! read more

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!! read more

This is for the restaurant in the Franklin Mills Mall. I visited this restaurant in early September. Got the falafel over rice. It was terrible. The rice was very rubbery and I could not eat much of it. It was very dry as well. The falafel were in those perfect balls indicative of a pre-made frozen preparation. I am not sure, they were really small though and not very tasty. The salad was laughable and there were no side sauces like cilantro offered as I didn't want Tahini. I thought it was a waste of money and I could have went to a falafel truck and been more satisfied. Next time I will follow my instinct as I will not return here. I will give them this, the staff was very friendly and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. But the food was terrible. read more

Not bad for a small food truck like setup located in a gas station. Price is very affordable.

Was craving a gyro so decided to order from here and it was delicious! Also was ready just a couple minutes after placing my order.

For a mall, I think the food is pretty good! The portions are reasonable, and the price is not too expensive!

I got food poison after eating chicken sandwich & Briyani from here last night for dinner, sitting in toilet for whole night and have to go urgent care if not cured on its own. Please don't eat here. Unclean restaurant and they deserve to be inspected. read more

After having my first Falafel platter in downtown Philly, I've been searching for a place in the NE. Came across Aya's Kitchen while my husband and I were shopping so I decided to try it. I was NOT disappointed!! The food was GREAT!! We had the mixed combo platter of Falafel and Chicken over rice, it comes with a piece of pita bread and a side salad.. very filling and delicious!! I have since been back numerous times.. don't judge it by it being in a mall.. it's well worth it!! read more

It is located in the Willow Groove mall food court. I visited the food joint last week and ordered a kabob over pita. The service was fast and efficient. The kabobs were well cooked, and the quantity was enough. The pita wasn't rolled properly and was a little mess to eat. Would visit again for a quick and tasty bite. read more

Finally halal food inside the mall the food taste amazing 5 stars isn't enough (I got Fish and Chicken over rice the salad is fresh and the pita is so crispy yumm) read more

For the price this is excellent. I would have paid more. Way better than Alarz and some of the other places that serve similar dishes that don't taste half as good for around $20 a platter. I ordered both the lamb shawarma platter and the beef Kabob platter and both were very delicious. Gorgeous girl at the counter wearing hijab also. Very dignified and beautiful and provided very friendly service. read more
