“My friend and I meet hear once a month for lunch. The food is usually very good. This is the first time I wasn't thrilled with what I got. I ordered a Philly cheese steak with hot peppers. I got the cheese steak but no hot peppers, instead I got green peppers that were cooked. The waitress said she had written hot peppers, she really couldn't do anything but to bring me hot peppers. A little disappointed. Always have had great service and great food.“

“I came in this morning with my brother to get breakfast and decided to add a tiramisu to my order. The tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had! It was so delicious! The owners were so friendly & helpful!“

“Stopped in after a biking through Pennypack Park. Wanted a gyro and picked this place because of the a 5 star rating. The experience exceeded five stars.
The people are incredibly hospitable and friendly.
The food!!! Sooooo goood! Had the lamb Gyro on Mediterranean pita (panini pressed). It was ridiculously delicious. The Moroccan soup slapped. The falafel was crispy and flavorful. The chicken over rice needed no sauce. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and delectable on its own.
The portions were generous. I ate so much and still had plenty of leftovers to take home.
You can tell the people that own this place care about customer experience and quality food.
Will be back for sure.“

“I've been in Philly 16 years, and eaten at every major fine dining restaurant in the city, many more than once. Amada, Zahav, Budakkan, Vernick Fish, you name it. Every Stephen Starr. Every Michael Solmonov. Every Jose Garces. This is the best meal I have ever eaten in my life. The carrots, the beets, the mushroom taglioli, the tuna tartar, the beef carpaccio tartlet, the duck, the liver mousse, the steak...I could go on. Every single bite was either perfect or nearly so. Both of my daughters and my wife said the same. We talked about our top dining experiences in Tokyo, Paris, St. Petersburg, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami, Chicago, there have been so many, many good meals in our life. We just found one of the greatest. Thank you Emmett. We look forward to our next visit (once you fix the ramp). -Stephen“

“Being Armenian my expectations were high. Apricot Stone far exceeded what I was expecting. Service (Ani) was excellent and all of the help was very friendly. I highly recommend it.“

“Absolutely delicious food. Very flavorful. They make the best hummus I've ever eaten. Highly recommend“

“Delicious food, beautiful scenery, very friendly staff.“

“I grew up on homemade Middle Eastern food made daily by my parents, so I’m very picky when it comes to authenticity. I’ve tried a few places that just didn’t hit the mark—but AL SHAM in Chalfont is a straight 10/10!! They serve real Arabic bread (pita)—not tortillas disguised as pita like you find at other places—and their homemade Lebanese toum (garlic aioli) is the real deal. One bite of their falafel wrap instantly transported me to a boardwalk in Lebanon, overlooking the Mediterranean—complete with fresh bread, Lebanese pickles, and those perfect pickled turnips. The meat is 100% Halal and you can taste the quality. Flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. **This is the kind of spot you want to support. We’ll be back again and again—do yourself a favor and try them ASAP**“

“Great hidden gem in Fishtown✨

Everything was fantastic to the apps, the ambiance, and even our server!

🍝 Food: We loved all the apps, and honestly for us we’d just get all apps if we could. The winter special monkfish was ok. And it was cool to try a new pasta “shape” for us: storzapretti e.g. look like meatballs, but are herby delicious ricotta balls with a snap. We loved the orata fish dish. WOW, perfectly cooked fish! For about $100 pp, we essentially got an XL 8-course tasting menu which is pretty worth it!

what we got:
⭐️ scallop focaccia toast 5/5 WOW! impressed, the flavor, the texture. more than just a fish-on-toast
⭐️ shaved artichoke 5/5 acidic goodness
⭐️ skate cheeks 4/5 great texture! flavor combo was amazing with the calabrian chili and polenta
⭐️ grilled orata 4/5 perfectly cooked with the buttery meat and crispy skin, tapenade was fire!
- tagliolini monkfish 3/5 not a fan gritty pieces in the pasta, monkfish felt a bit overcooked and tough
- storzapretti ricotta dumplings 3/5 glad to try something new!! not our thing

🍴 service: amazing! our server was attentive, helpful and sassy — we liked her. overall staff was great too, they brought the dishes and explained them and between courses they took plates and cleaned the table. very pleasurable :)

🕯️ atmosphere: the ambiance was intimate and sexy! there was not a bad angle of the interior — it was a classy date night spot“

“Shoutout to the guys! Jay, Hussein and Jonathan really looked out for me! I placed my order last minute and got to the shop with a minute to spare. They didn’t treat me like “that guy” for being the last one in. The staff is as great as the food and you’ll be delighted to be served by these gentlemen!“

“I love CAVA! This location is great because there’s no hustle and bustle for the lunch hour. I went to get a bowl because marketing works on me and my reward points are about to expire. I was greeted with a big smile by Theresa. She was so kind to listen to my Generation Y banter and make my seasonal white sweet potato bowl. I especially appreciated Theresa’s custom recipe and guidance, something out of my norm Harissa Chicken Avocado bowl.

I thoroughly enjoyed the white sweet potato and lamb combo with the fig dressing, definitely a banger. Another favorite would be the cucumber lime juice. Kudos to CAVA, looks like the fountain drink options have expanded, I’m a fan. I kept it simple with the meal, but I had to rave about Theresa, affectionately now my Mother Theresa with the amethyst crescent moon pendant. Stay pleasant!“

“I have never! given anyone a 5 start review but I have to sayyy this is the best vegan shawarma I have ever had in my life! Omg the falafel was crunchy and that isn’t easy to come by the hummus the cucumbers cabbage everything blended so well together was so flavorful I am in absolute love and will be returning“

“New local halal food spot located on Cottman Ave near Castor Ave by the Sunoco gas station. Reasonably priced fresh food platters with a variety of tasty choices to choose from some as low as $5! $5 is a great price for those on a budget. I got the Mac and cheese/ fried chicken combo and the sauce it comes with is so yummy! It was pretty good. Also got the fish over rice with the garlic sauce it comes with a small salad as well. Fish was lightly breaded and cooked well. I will visit this spot again for sure to try out the other menu items!“

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

“We've lived in the neighborhood for 4 years and have not tried this gem until last week, what a shame! I did not expect the unique design, nice service, and delicious food. I had the moussaka, my wife had the lamb chops, and our young kids split the chicken kebab with rice. Also, the bar looks fun to have a drink at. Will definitely be back.“

“Stopped by the Food Truck Festival in Pottstown today. food is excellent , service is great and they were very friendly. Got the rice/ salad with chicken and spicy pineapple sauce. Amazing!“

“Really the place is very nice and clean. I decide to take my best friend there for her birthday. I enjoy the food and the service. The staff are very kind even though after we had the best desserts and Turkish coffee it was just the way I wanted it highly recommended“

“Janiyah munirah briyonna all were fantastic! It was first time getting cava and they were very helpful and friendly. Even gave me some great dip recommendations that were really good! Definitely coming back here again. Such hospitality from the rockstar staff!“

“The food here is delicious! We tried the Oxtail with fried rice and mac, the Salmon & Shrimp Rasta Pasta, and the Sweet Chili Wings with fries and every single dish held such great flavor. The oxtail was so tender it literally fell off the bone, easily one of the highlights of the meal. Next time, we’re definitely trying the Oxtail Rasta Pasta.“
