Top 9 Late Night Food Places at Temple
Dining hall food is alright but we all need a break from it sometimes. A lot of time the dining hall closes early, what do you do then? Below are 9 delivery spots that I tried during my freshman year at Temple and actually liked. I found a lot of these places from apps like Caviar, Grubhub, Postmates, and DIningin. These apps make it easy to order from smaller eateries like those listed below and more commercial food places as well.
1. Masala Kitchen: Kati Rolls and Platters
1211 Walnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19107, United States
Phone: +1 215-309-3301
My go to place for late night ordering at Temple. I’ve never had anything I didn’t like from Masala Kitchen. Their rolls are so so good.
2. Iztaccihuatl Restaurant
1122 S 8th St, Philadelphia, PA 19147, United States
Phone: +1 215-467-1005
If you want traditional Mexican cuisine, look no further. So much food for the price. If you’re really hungry late at night, you will definitely be ready to conquer all the studying you have to do after ordering from Iztaccihuatl.
3. Fuji Sushi
2030 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19103, United States
Phone: +1 215-751-0939

Phone: +1 215-382-2199
If you’re looking for a quick slice of pizza late at night, Axis is the place to go. Its some of the best pizza around Temple. I highly recommend a slice of buffalo chicken, as featured above.

9. Fez Moroccan

Delivery +1 215-829-1500
Fez Moroccan has bold flavors to really spice up a long night of studying. The entrees can be a bit more expensive than some of the other restaurants on this list, but it is definitely worth it. I highly recommend trying their kabobs, and the different couscous dishes.
