Soon! ❤️“

“This is my 4th time coming and as usual they don’t disappoint. These guys are a class act. They treat you with respect and the food is just as good has the service. I tell all of my friends and family about this place. If you haven’t been here yet you are cheating yourself of a great experience. I can’t say enough about this place. “ They Rock ““

“I hadn't been to Barbuzzo in about 8 years. We were headed to a show at The Met, so I made reservations for dinner. The staff, the food, the drinks, and the service were all on point. We'll definitely be back!“

“Everything was perfect from beginning to end, from the reserved table, the service, the food. Because we were a party of 2 and ordered many courses , the server staggered our food so we could enjoy every morsel We started with soup. I had the lentil my husband had Moroccan Bean. Both were so wonderful we we started sharing. I was looking forward to the taramasalata all day. When it came to the table along with warmed pita bread it did not disappoint. On to the falafel: which were some of the best we ever sampled. Not finished yet, next we had lamb kafta. Which were succulent and prepared to perfection. Our final course was the superb moussaka. The eggplant melted in our mouth with each bite and the ground beef and béchamel enhanced the flavor to a higher level Our only disappoint was we didn't have room left for dessert. There is always next time! Another wonderful dining experience at Norma’s!“

“omg one of our Doctors treated us to lunch today ..so so good ..I will now go on my own ..food was delicious“

“Probably the weirdest platter I’ve had ever. There were charred/roasted grapes, peppers, chicken, avocado on top of noodles, along with a host of unidentified alien objects. But hey, we liked it! 😄 Lines are looong. Also the guy is quirky and kind, a Philly urban legend“

“We didn’t get to eat at Zahav - but got the next big thing and ordered the Lamb Meal from gold belly with salatim. It was DELICIOUS!! Best lamb we have ever had, so delicious. Salads were yummy, hummus well done and could easily feed 6 adults. So. Much. Food. If you can’t make it to the restaurant- order the kit from Goldbelly and treat yourself!“

“Everyone loved every bite! One of my favorite brunch places in and around the city. Awesome food, and attentive service! #lEtsreAlesTate“

“My girlfriends and I recently visited Dear Daphni for a birthday celebration and needless to say, we'll be coming back again. Liz, one of the Front of House coordinators, ensured we had the best dining experience on my first visit. From assigning the perfect table and attentive server (Seth his name was), continuously checking in if we needed anything, and indulging our request to have our celebratory photos taken while still being able to keep a watchful but friendly eye on the restaurant to make sure incoming guests were being greeted and accommodated while still ensuring seated tables were having a lovely dining experience - that is certainly no easy feat. As Sampan alumni, I have the earned discernment to say Liz was absolutely the calm in the chaos last Friday night.

As for the food, we had the Moroccan meatballs, mezze platter, crisps, assorted kebabs, branzino, and the lamb chops. Everything was truly well done that evening even down to the pita bread that reminded me of a bakery during my recent travels to Marrakesh. And the lamb shops were absolutely worth breaking the no meat Friday rule of the Lent season - needless to say my girlfriends and I can't wait for our next visit.“

“We catered a dinner at home to a wide range of guests and it hit the mark for everyone. I can’t wait to use them for take out more often!! The seasonal homemade hummus has never been a disappointment but this time it was unreal. Looking forward to our next meal.“

“Zaffron Grill is one the best restaurants at the Shops at Liberty Place. I love their food, especially the Steak Kabob platter,“

“1)wonderful food and a goodly portion.2) BYOB 3)Not cheap but reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. Hits the Restaurant Trifecta!!!“

“Delicious and always fresh!!“

“Food, price and service were good. The wasn't a lot of seating for guest, between the pick delivery guys and non-custoners off the street just hanging out seating was difficult.

But overall good food and variety 😋.“

“We visited Pera and it is great to know that the restaurant met expectations and was consistent with the excellent review in the PHiladelphia Inquirer.“

“As wonderful as I remember. A true cc gem. Get the tiramisu“

“Very great authentic Tunisian food.“

“First time trying this restaurant. As someone who has lived in Turkiye (Iskenderun, Bornova and Ilica/ Cesme) Their food was amazing! We ordered the lahmacun, a cheese pide and shepherds salad. We ordered online and had very quick and free delivery. Tasted just as good as I remembered. Will definitely order again and will eat at restaurant. Teşekkür ederim!“

“Lovely atmosphere, very good food and our Waiter Nick was wonderful!“

“Irwin's is one of those rare South Philly spots that actually lives up to the hype without trying too hard. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and intentional—bright, open space, relaxed energy, and a vibe that makes it just as good for a casual dinner as it is for a planned night out.
The menu is where Irwin’s really stands out. It’s not overloaded or confusing, just focused and well thought out. Everything feels like it was designed with care, from the small plates to the larger shared dishes. The flavors are clean but still bold enough to keep things interesting. You can tell the kitchen pays attention to detail instead of just pushing out trendy food. Even simple dishes end up tasting elevated.
Service is another strong point. The staff is attentive without hovering, and they’re genuinely helpful when it comes to recommendations. There’s a balance there that a lot of restaurants miss—professional but still relaxed enough that you don’t feel rushed or pressured.
The rooftop space is also a big bonus. On a nice night, it really changes the whole experience. You get a great view of the neighborhood, and it adds a layer of personality that makes the meal feel more memorable than just “going out to eat.”
Pricing is fair for what you’re getting, especially considering the quality and setting. It’s not a budget spot, but it doesn’t feel overpriced either—you leave feeling like you got what you paid for.
Overall, Irwin’s is the kind of place that works for multiple occasions: date nights, group dinners, or just a solid meal when you want something better than average. It’s consistent, well-run, and easy to recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality dining experience in South Philly.“

“My first taste of Shakshuka and it was amazing! Very comfortable place, too. My partner had a smoked turkey sandwich that had a lot of great flavor!“

“Pizza is amazing and the atmosphere is even better ❤️❤️“

“Best spinach pie I’ve ever had! Friendly and quick service. Highly recommend“

“It's inside the Reading Terminal Market. Eat in or take away. There were several stools when I chose them for lunch, from all the options there. They have chicken, and lamb/beef combo roasting in front of you, they cut your sandwich from. Fresh tomato and onion bits inside a Pita. There is a white sauce, which I didn't have. Sandwich can come with fries and coke for under $15. I got a smaller portion of fries. All fresh and tasty. service was attentive and speedy. Very pleased with my visit.“

“I ordered the shawarma sandwich and the lentil soup. Both were delivered fresh and piping. Given south Asian roots i can taste a food lentil soup and this hit the spot. The shawarma was nice with added veggies but taste wise was nice but nothing that would knock your socks off. The toum sauce is a great accompaniment with the shawarma and overall the meal is a nice to have if you haven't tried. The staff is courteous and considerate of their customer needs“

“Great value. I had the chicken on rice w/ salad & hot sauce. Couldn't try the white sauce due to a milk allergy. The chicken, rice and salad were fresh. Platter came with a canned soda for $8. Plenty of drinks to choose from. Def would return.“

“Wow - Vita Sana is beautiful inside and everything from the coffee to the rice bowls and the smoothies to the wraps are amazing!

Can't wait to return and use them for an upcoming event. Finally healthier options for lunch and work events.“
