Reviews for Goldie in Philadelphia, PA
Had craving for a falafel sandwich was searching for an old place I use to go called Mamas but I didn?t find it I found Goldie?s... on 19th Samson street instead.The falafel pita sandwich here was just as great!????,all ingredients were crunchy fresh, thetahini sauce fresh and the falafel balls at the bottom so the pita stays neat, even a tin holder.However; I would rethink themusic here .I started to eat my falafel to a tune that sang ????????Tonight you will die ,tonight you will bleed? in my head Iwas thinking my mouth is in nervana heaven but my mind is creeped out by the music.Offering this restaurant a most helpful Tipfor I use to be a mystery shopper play chamber classical music it?s calming and relaxing and everyone likes calm music when theyeat.You could have seriously done an entire Seinfeld episode about me and my falafel sandwich and that music that day.SerenityNow, lol.The staff was great.Just change that music.

Good food but the wait time could be long, they need to speed up the process of getting a falafel sandwich. Should not take 20... mins Read more
I've been coming here for a while and always get the the Harissa Falafel Sandwich. I wouldn't say it's the best falafel in the... world (ie. compared to in Israel) but probably one of the best in the area. The one item that really brings down the sandwich isthe pita. It doesn't taste that fresh, probably because it is always cold. The falafel itself is usually hot, though I've seenthis vary in temperature. Not sure if they are fried to order. Everything is also quite expensive for something so simple. Even something like extra harissa costs extra. For example, one of the reviews complains about the shakes getting smaller. Theowner replied saying the cups got smaller due to supply issues. That's fine, but if you're reducing your portion size, youshould reduce your price. Read more
I love their tahini shakes, but I wish they had the coconaut one at this location. My advice to the owner: have the flavors... rotate each week. When a person's favorite flavor is at their nearest location it becomes extra special that they get to haveit. Read more
The best falafel wrap I?ve ever eaten! Their shawarma spiced fries are also excellent. It?s my fav lunch spot on campus.
This was my favorite place on campus but recently they have made some changes that have declined the quality of their food and... shakes. They changed their shake size from 12 ounces to about 10 ounces. They claimed it to be 12 but we measured it at home (weare scientists) and it's about 1 1/2 ounce less than it used to be. Also had the falafel balls and they are a yellow color nowinstead of green (not sure what changed) and have a weird after taste. For how expensive it is, you would expect better qualitylike it used to be. So sad I have to find a new favorite place on campus :( Read more
The women who work here are super! Friendly, professional, and quick with the orders. They have the DeizenGoff hummus at this... location and of course it is delicious. The price is reasonable for a bowl of hummus, a side salad, and warm pita (or cucumbersfor gluten free). Goldie is situated inside Franklin?s Table, a mini food court on the University of Pennsylvania campus. Read more
Absolutely love their tehina shakes (especially the banana flavor) but at ~$8 per, they?re a little overpriced for what you get.
