Kabobeesh

Halal, Pakistani$$

This long-running West Philly favorite recently relocated to a bigger, more modern space, and added several specialty dishes to boot. These include tawa keema (street-style ground beef dish made on a tawa or flat griddle), chicken handi (a yogurt-based chicken curry made in a handi or clay pot), and cheese-filled naans. For its accompanying Karak Cha cafe, chef/owner Asad Ghumman has also added paninis, more pastries, and a sandwich inspired by the Pakistani chopped cheese trending in New York.
