Is this Brahim Ighladen or did someone else take on the name? Seems like someone else because falafel and shwarma are more Middle Eastern foods than Moroccan.

Does’nt seem to be Brahim’s spot, b/c he made an excellent lamb merguez. Not on the menu, my only fault is that this truck is at 40th and Locust, where a majority of solid middle eastern fare is already sold. I hope they move further east.

We need more trucks in Center City, and at locations besides Love Park.

It’s definitely Brahim from the Marrakesh Express that used to be on Chestnut! He was very busy today, probably best to go say hi sometime after 2 when the lunch rush is finished.
