I am not vegan but I love a good humus. Some of the best falafel I have ever had (everyone who has come with me agrees). And the shakes are great. First sip 🤔 second sip 😍

Very impressed - Edit
I was in Philadelphia recently on an annual trip, and for the second year in a row, I had a lunch at this Goldie location on Sansom street. I'll probably do that again in the future, since I haven't had an item on their menu yet that I didn't find delicious.
Read moreBefore this most recent visit, I saw a previous review praising their shakes and decided to give one a try alongside my food. I ended up choosing the mint shake, and I'd gladly order that again.
I don't have anything negative at all to say about Goldie. I've been thoroughly satisfied both times I've ordered from this location and next time I'm in the city I'll gladly do so again.
Pros: Delicious food options, Shakes

The salted pretzel one was cool. I'll try the food next time.

Quick, tasty Mediterranean - Edit
Had a quick bite at this fast food Mediterranean spot in the center of downtown. The food is what you would expect. Tasty falafel balls, hummus and a little salad.

Turkish Coffee Tehina Shake 😍 - Edit
The Turkish coffee tehina shake is amazing! It is definitely a dessert and not so much a coffee but absolutely delicious! It is quite sweet and rich and there are bits of pistachio and halva. I would definitely order it again!

I LOVE GOLDIE - Edit
Goldie is seriously one of my favorite quick service vegan places in Philly - both the falafel sandwiches and salads are amazing, the tahini milkshakes are so creamy and delicious, the fries are bomb, and the Tumeric lime soda is one of my favorite drinks…ever. I’ve never had better falafel, don’t walk, RUN to eat here!!

Satisfies falafel cravings - Edit
While Mama's Vegetarian will always be Philly's best falafel, even after closing, Goldie is a close second. Their falafel sandwiches never fail to satisfy a craving and the shawarma fries and Turkish shake complete the meal perfectly. Because vegans and non-vegans alike rave about this place, the line is usually out the door around lunch so be sure to get there early!

Fine Falafel - Edit
Tahini shakes are quite delicious. Well conceived falafel sandwich with tahini sauce options. Shawarma spice flavored fries very nicely done. No big globs of spices. The spices were evenly...no, artfully applied.

Cons: Tahini sauces too salty

I'm wary - Edit
The owner's brother was in the IDF. Owner opening this restaurant was prompted by his brother getting killed. Sounds like Zionism to me, and that's messed up.

Key Eatery for Falafel + Creamy Drinks! - Edit
I've eaten at multiple Goldie locations in Philadelphia, and the high food-quality is consistent in every place. Falafel (which I learned is food from Lebanon), is their specialty.
Read moreI highly recommend that you enjoy their Mint Chocolate Tehina Shake and fries with your falafel order here.
When ordering Falafel here, you must say which sauce you want: Amba (mild spice), Harissa (medium), or Schug (high spice level).

Yo, I love this place - Edit
I never liked falafel until I started eating here. There menu is nice and small, and everything on it is delicious. Schug is the best sauce, with amba close behinde. The Turkish coffee tahina shake, with the halva mixed in, is one of the greatest things ever made.
Read moreI used to work here, which I didn't like, but I got to eat the food for free! Amazing!!
Pros: Shakes, Falafel sandwiches , Fries
Cons: Washing dishes 😅

Just perfect! Totally perfect! - Edit
After several meals and shakes here I have to stay that Goldie is just perfect!
Read moreThe falafel is beyond amazing! It is among the very best of the very best! The fries with zatar seasoning are so amazing you can't comprehend it until you have tried it...especially when you include their sauce with the fries.
The shakes, oh the shakes! I just worship the Turkish Coffee flavor and loads of people feel the same way about all of the other flavors too, for good reason.
You cannot possibly go wrong here!
Pros: Everything is amazing, including the service., The greatest falafel

Wonderfully flavorful! - Edit
I can’t believe I didn’t try this place for so long! I figured this place would be just like any other falafel shop, but its not. The flavors are so wonderful for everything we ordered. I STRONGLY recommend the original tehina milkshake. Possibly the best vegan milkshake I’ve ever had.
