Halal Town Smash Burger & Phillies

We ordered here a couple times and I think they are getting better lately.
Fast and yummy, we enjoyed it so much.
I’d recommend!

Best HALAL philly cheesesteaks in Chicagoland area! Always grab the steak phillies cuz the quality is always consistent.
Brother Nazim gives great service and works hard to deliver delicious food.

Not going to lie, when I first pulled up to this place I was skeptical about how the food was going to be.
This place is the definition of a hole-in-the-wall.
I'm a big Philly Cheese Steak fan and came specifically for that and nothing else.
We got one Philly with the cheese sauce and one Philly with smoked mozzarella.
Both were surprisingly delicious.
Meat was tender and seasoned beautifully.
The cheese wasn't over powering where you can't taste and enjoy the meat, and the bun just brought everything together. The main issue I've seen with people making Philly cheese steaks is the cheese is over powering where you can't even taste the meat, that's not the case at this restaurant.
This is by far the best halal Philly I've ever had. I've tried Philly sandwiches in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Dallas, Houston and even the famous Saad's in Philadelphia and I feel this place beats all of them. The owner Zohaib is a very passionate guy and even showed us his whole kitchen and is cutting and grinding his own meat, no processed stuff (except the fries).
I'm already itching to go again. Don't let the negative reviews deter you from going, I went 12/28/2019 and I was content.
My only fear of writing this review is over-hyping this restaurant. Only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because of the ambiance.
The store sign I think needs to be updated and the inside is in the process of being updated.
It's a small space inside and 4-5 friends can probably sit and eat, but it's more of a take it to-go restaurant. As long as Papa Philly stays consistent with the quality I experienced, I am sure they have a long successful road ahead of them.
I'm definitely looking forward to go back in the next couple of days!
