Saad's Halal Restaurant

Best Halal Phily Cheesesteak In Philadelphia.

The first thing I tried was a Chicken Platter. Its was okay, 6.5/10.

The Beef cheesesteak though. I can’t lie, it was pretty good!
The bread was soft with a crunchy toasted outside layer. The cheese was super melty, and creamy. The meat was soft, tender, cooked perfectly and seasoned well.
Overall it was really good. 9/10 Never tried anything better yet.

If you’re visiting Philadelphia its a pretty must try. Although the parking around town is pretty rough and hard to find.

Really great food so it gets pack! People know this is the spot. Staff is so attentive. I did not load the beef shish kebab sandwich, falafel or hummus sandwich because we were starving and forgot to take pics. The stuffed grape leaves and spinach pie were very nice. French fries were on point! They also have nice drinks that you don’t find in the U.S. often. The prices are very good with HUGE portions. We made a mistake of ordering a little too much food, I practically had to roll out of there and still had leftover.

Sad they didn't have their Philly Cheesesteak when we visited May 2022, but we were still very happy with what we got. Chicken Swish Tawook (pic) was delicious. Ask for extra dipping sauce.
Fries were also perfect.

They have amazing beef cheese steak! I travel from DC a few times a year to get some. The addition of ketchup on the sandwich takes it up a different notch. I tried with and without ketchup beef cheese steak sandwich and ketchup is the way to go for this place. I highly recommend as one of the places to stop and eat if you're looking for halal cuisine.
What I did not like in this restaurant is the wait time. There was definitely a lot of discrepancy on who gets their food first. I understand a popular restaurant will have wait time, however it should not be 2 hours to get a sandwich. Few of my friends ordered only one sandwich and they had to wait two and a half hours just to get theirs. There were other people that came in and ordered after us and received their sandwich with 45 minutes or less.
So I don't agree with their mandatory 15% service fee if you're eating in the restaurant. I understand you have to pass your cost on to the consumers but to force it is questionable.
