On the other side of the sate of Pennsylvania, we have the city of Philadelphia. The kosher food scene here is a little more vibrant than the scene in Pittsburgh with a good sit down restaurant and several other places. One of those “other” places is Hamifgash Restaurant in the jewelry section of Center City.
The place has your typical Middle-Eastern fare including your hummus, falafel and kabobs. It was pretty empty when we got there for dinner but I can imagine that the place is a lot fuller during the lunch time rush. The décor was bright and open.
The hummus was a little on the thick side but the tehania made it a bit better. However the toasted bread that came with it was quite delicious.
Both my father and I decided to have the same thing, the Kabob Romania (actually when I heard what it was I decided it was a good idea), which was ground beef seasoned like a sausage with garlic and parsley. It was on the spicy side but that is how I like it.
The waitress was very friendly and actually tried to talk us out of ordering the Kabob Romania for something else on the menu.
Overall if you are in Center City and are looking for a quick bite to eat, Hamifgash is a good bet.
