Why you should experience Laser Wolf in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Laser Wolf is a nationally acclaimed Israeli grill house where live-fire cooking, rooftop skyline views, and the creative spirit of Kensington come together within one of Philadelphia's most celebrated dining destinations.
Set along North Howard Street near West Master Street and just steps from Punch Buggy Brewing, this rooftop restaurant crowns one of Philadelphia's most influential hospitality developments, sitting at the intersection of Kensington and Fishtown where former industrial blocks have evolved into a hub of restaurants, breweries, galleries, and creative businesses. Flames leap from the grill throughout service, platters move across tables in steady succession, and expansive views of the Philadelphia skyline stretch beyond the dining room. The energy is communal, thriving, and unmistakably celebratory from the moment guests arrive.
What you should know about Laser Wolf.
Laser Wolf is best known for its salatim service, an abundant spread of twenty rotating vegetable-based salads, dips, pickles, and accompaniments that arrive automatically with every meal before the grilled entrées ever reach the table.
The procession transforms the meal into a feast long before the main course begins. Bowls of bright tahini, smoky eggplant, crisp seasonal vegetables, fermented pickles, fresh herbs, and energetic Middle Eastern preparations cover the table in a display of color, texture, and flavor. Warm laffa bread emerges fresh from the oven to accompany each bite, while skewers of expertly grilled meats and vegetables arrive later carrying the smoky character that has become a hallmark of chef Michael Solomonov's Israeli-inspired cooking. The experience encourages sharing, lingering, and continual exploration, with no two bites feeling quite the same.
How to fold Laser Wolf into your trip.
Laser Wolf is an ideal dinner destination following a day spent exploring Philadelphia's creative river wards.
Begin the afternoon wandering through Fishtown's independent boutiques, galleries, coffee shops, and music venues before exploring the surrounding streets of Kensington, where public art and adaptive-reuse projects reveal the neighborhood's ongoing transformation. Continue toward Punch Buggy Brewing and nearby creative spaces before making your way to Laser Wolf as sunset approaches. Arriving in the early evening allows time to watch the skyline transition from daylight to city lights while the meal unfolds across multiple courses. Afterward, continue exploring the surrounding nightlife scene, where breweries, cocktail bars, and music venues keep the neighborhood active well into the night. Laser Wolf fits naturally into that progression, serving as one of the defining culinary experiences of modern Philadelphia.
