Alyan's Middle Eastern & Mediterranean Restaurant
Welcome to Alyan's Middle Eastern & Mediterranean Restaurant, a culinary gem nestled in the heart of Philadelphia at 603 S 4th St. This inviting eatery not only showcases the rich flavors of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, but it also offers an authentic dining experience infused with warmth and hospitality.
Alyan's menu is a testament to the vibrant culinary traditions of the region, where every dish tells a story. Patrons rave about the chicken kebab sandwich and the shawarma platter, both of which come highly recommended for their robust flavors and high-quality ingredients. According to Laura McCarver, the chicken kebab sandwich is so irresistible that she couldn’t even snap a picture before it vanished!
For families or those looking to indulge in a variety of tastes, the Mediterranean combo is a crowd-pleaser. Nandini Jammi shared her delight in the platter, which was perfect for sharing. The ambiance is equally inviting, with a charming sunroom that adds a special touch to your dining experience.
The falafel sandwich, praised by Yaseen Gharbieh as the best in Philly, features crispy, well-seasoned falafels nestled in a warm pita. And let’s not forget about the fries, which are elevated with the addition of peppers and onions—a creative twist that many customers have enjoyed. The care and attention to food quality are evident; as Arden Simon noted, everything from the lamb to the eggplant salad bursts with freshness.
While the delicious food is certainly a highlight, it’s the welcoming service that completes your visit. Many customers have also highlighted the friendly and attentive staff, making every meal a delightful experience. Whether you choose to dine in the cozy interiors or on their dreamy covered patio, Alyan’s promises to transport your taste buds straight to the Mediterranean coastline.
To top it all off, save room for dessert! Emma Griswold Kozlowski couldn’t recommend the baklava enough, encouraging guests to treat themselves. It’s not just a meal at Alyan’s; it’s an experience—one that I cannot wait to savor again soon.

“ The chicken kebab sandwich, the shawarma platter, and the fries were so delicious! (The peppers and onions on the fries were a delicious touch). I wasn't able to get any pictures of the food before it was gone! The service was also great; very friendly and attentive. I hope I can go back! ”
“ I ordered delivery from here from my family, the food was excellent. We had the chicken kebab sandwich, the lamb kebab sandwich, the falafel sandwich, the eggplant salad, and mixed pickles and olives. Everything was very tasty, fresh, and very high quality. The falafels were crispy and well seasoned. The lamb was juicy and tender. The chicken was flavorful. We especially liked the pickled radishes. I will definitely order from here again or come in to the restaurant soon! ”
“ We came here hungry and were delighted by the platter we ordered - the Mediterranean combo. There’s a pretty sunroom in the back that we got to take advantage of. I’m also glad we ordered the baklava - it was so good, I ordered more to take home. I’ll be back next time I’m in town! ”
“ Savory and fresh middle eastern cuisine at affordable prices! Order out but don't skip dining in sometime, they have a dreamy covered patio in the back that is the ideal lunchtime escape. ”
“ This place feels truly just like back home —the seating area gave me authentic Palestinian vibes. I ordered the falafel sandwich and it was honestly the best falafel I’ve had in Philly! The fries were also a nice different—not your usual ... ”
“ This place is AMAZING! We shared the chicken schwarma platter, grilled zucchini platter, and the lamb kabob platter and everything was just incredibly tasty! The service was fast and friendly, and the atrium in the back is super cute! I would eat here every day if I lived in Philly! ”
“ stopped by for dinner on a sunday and it was pretty empty which was great because we got to sit in the cut atrium and have the place to ourselves! the atmosphere was amazing, the food was 10/10 delicious and great portions, highly recommend the shawarma! (we had the chicken and lamb/turkey) the baklava was really good too ”
“ AMAZING food! Service was quick and lovely, I got Alyan’s platter and it was delicious (best hummus I’ve ever had), and my partner got the falafel sandwich which they said was the best they’ve had. Would definitely come back! ”
