Goldie

On April Fools 2017 (to Philadelphia's surprise and delight), a falafel shop named Goldie was born. Goldie was co-founded by chef Mike Solomonov and Steve Cook of CookNSolo Restaurants, the award-winning restaurateurs perhaps best known for the groundbreaking Israeli restaurant, Zahav.

Goldie is a vegan (and kosher!) falafel shop serving a signature menu of falafel, fries, & tehina Shakes. The heart of Goldie's menu is the falafel sandwich with tehina, Israeli salad, cabbage, and condiments of varying levels of spice all tucked inside fresh, fluffy pita. Goldie has a "no toppings bar" ethos - the team builds each sandwich with their practiced hands. Goldie also serves the falafel salad, shawarma spiced French fries, and tehina shakes (non-dairy) like Turkish coffee and mint chocolate flavors.

Goldie hosts 5 locations: 1911 Sansom Street in Rittenhouse Square; 1218 Sansom Street in Midtown; inside Franklin's Table Food Hall located at 34th & Walnut streets on the University of Pennsylvania campus; inside Whole Foods Market Center City, located at 2101 Pennsylvania Avenue; and 1601 N Front Street in Fishtown.

Along with Zahav, Goldie's sister restaurants are Dizengoff, Federal Donuts, K'Far, and Laser Wolf.
