Falafel salad!!!

Love the falafel; it’s legit (green inside!). The vegetables and fresh and crunchy, except for the marinated beets. Can’t go wrong here.

Ate here a year ago and still think about it

Ate here for a quick meal when I was in town for a layover (recommended by a friend). I still think about this meal 2 years later. It’s a vegans dream. Creative and fun foods, reasonable prices for amount you get, clearly labeled, and most importantly, absolutely delicious. Loved their tahini shake which of course they are famous for.

Pros: Food was superb, Good for fast casual

Cons: None

Goldie, But Goodie

I enjoyed the Falafel Salad, which included baby kale, napa cabbage, six falafel balls, carrot, beet, marinated green cabbage, cucumber, fresh herbs, za'atar sunflower seeds, lemon date vinaigrette, tehina, and served with an Israeli pickle.

Pros: all vegan, quick service, reusable cups

Cons: disposable dishes

Solid hummus and falafel

Read that Questlove recommended Goldie. I went with the falafel hummus platter that came with hummus and falafel, side of pita and side veggie dish with pickle. Solid and recommended!

Pros: Solid Falafel and hummus

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 😍

Pros: Friendly workers , Happy workers, Great food

Very impressed

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.

Before 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

Shake

I was hoping for the banana one but they didn't have it. Salted Caramel Pretzel Tehina Shake

Salted caramel shake with caramel drizzle and topped with Utz pretzels

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

Updated from previous review on 2024-06-03

Pros: Shake that was suggested by staff, Atmosphere , Customer service

Cons: Not enough seats

Quick, tasty Mediterranean

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 😍

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!

Pros: Decadent shakes

Cons: Limited options for meals

I LOVE GOLDIE

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

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

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.

Pros: VEGAN!, Kosher

Cons: Tahini sauces too salty

I'm wary

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.

Cons: Likelihood of Zionism
