Hand-cut lamb, wood-fired pita, and recipes passed down through generations — all crafted with care on Cottman Avenue.
At Express Kabob & Grill, every meal begins with a commitment to authenticity. Located on Cottman Avenue in Philadelphia, we've been serving the community with genuine Middle Eastern cuisine that honors centuries-old recipes and techniques.
Our kitchen sources only the freshest ingredients — premium cuts of meat, locally grown produce, and imported spices that transform each dish into an experience. From our hand-kneaded dough for the pita bread to our slow-marinated kabobs, nothing is rushed.
We believe that great food is about more than taste; it's about the warmth of hospitality, the joy of sharing a meal, and the connections that form around a shared table. Whether you're joining us for a quick lunch or a family dinner, you'll find a welcome that feels like home.
Only the finest meats and freshest ingredients make it to your plate.
Every dish is prepared with care and a deep respect for tradition.
Proud to serve our Philadelphia neighbors with warmth and generosity.
Our kabobs are the heart of our kitchen. Each skewer features carefully selected cuts, marinated for hours in a blend of saffron, cumin, paprika, and fresh herbs, then grilled over charcoal for that unmistakable smoky flavor.
Our pita bread is made from scratch every day — soft, pillowy, and slightly charred. We also offer traditional flatbreads and pita chips, all baked fresh to complement every dish on our menu.
Our restaurant is designed for gathering. Share mezze platters, family feasts, and generous portions with the people who matter most. We provide a warm, welcoming environment for families, friends, and community.
