Goldie is a vegan, kosher, Israeli-style falafel shop connected to the CookNSolo family of restaurants, carrying the nickname "baby Zahav" — a nod to Zahav, the Hebrew word for gold. The menu is short and focused: falafel, hummus, French fries, and tahina shakes.
The falafel has built a serious following, and Goldie has become something of a vegetarian destination in Center City West. Its tahina shakes have turned into a signature order in their own right, drawing regulars who come for them as much as for the falafel. Reactions to the fries and hummus have been more mixed.
