Kabab Cafe • 1989

This family-run Persian spot in Gateway Shopping Center has been turning out halal kababs with saffron rice since 2009, drawing Main Line regulars for its tender joojeh and smoky koobideh. Lavash bread comes baked fresh daily, and the BYOB policy means you can pair your platter with whatever you bring. The warm counter-service setup and generous portions make it the kind of place where dinner for two easily becomes leftovers for tomorrow.
