“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“

“Your food is delicious and your service excellent. Thank you so much for sharing this food with the public. It is not easy to have a restaurant. Zorbas tavern is a must try place.“

“The food here is amazing, but honestly, the owner is the reason this place deserves more then 5 stars.

Every time I come in, he treats me with such genuine kindness and respect that I never feel like just another customer. Always smiling, always generous, always giving a little more than expected. You can tell he puts his heart into both his food and the way he treats people.

And the smoothies are incredible — thick, rich, made with frozen fruit and actually full of flavor. Easily some of the best I’ve ever had.

Some people just have a good heart, and you notice it in the little things. This guy is one of them. I genuinely hope this place gets all the success it deserves.

Absolute legend. 5 stars without a second thought.“

“Not sure if this place is a hidden gem since I am an out of towner and was just visiting my buddy who was in town staying at the affiliate hotel.

The decor and ambiance is very awesome. Out waitress, Laural, she was awesome, she not only waited on us but she also spoke to our group exchanging tales of our past lives.

I ordered the following:

anna breakfast 22
two eggs, sun-dried tomatoes and fresh chickpeas, le puy lentils, maquis herb sausage, semolina toast

semolina pancakes 22
huckleberry balsamic jam, pine nut streusel,
whipped honey

The Anna breakfast, I had the option to order poached eggs and that made me pretty excited. Never had lentils for breakfast, but it was a nice hearty touch. The sausage was a nice touch too. Also, thank you for the tangerine, it made a nice snack after the meal.

My best friend and I split the pancakes. They were delicious. However, it came with a light green sauce that was far from sweet and an acquired taste. We tasted it, but it was left unfinished.

I can’t wait to take my wife here. I would also love to stay at the hotel.“

“The service here is outstanding! Sierra, Mia, and Meredith helped walk me through the process as a first timer at Cava. They explained all of the different food and options I could get. They recommended a plethora of amazing combinations and choices. Thank you guys so much!“

“First and foremost, I'd like to say thank you to staff members who were very kind and friendly. It was first time trying Cava and I've heard alot of great things about this place and the food did not disappoint, it was delicious 😋. I will most definitely be back in the future“

“Wow, I had tried the jerk chicken over white rice with a side of mac and cheese and yams with an additional side of cabbage and my oh my from the first bite in the car to the excitement on the way home ! It smelled amazing and tasted even better! Everything was cooked perfectly, seasoned spot on.. loved the environment as well very friendly people! Will be back for sure 100/10“

“As someone who used to be a head chef at a shawarma restaurant, I know what great shawarma should taste like. This place honestly exceeded my expectations. The meat is flavorful and cooked perfectly, the ingredients are fresh, and every bite is balanced and delicious. The kitchen is super clean you can literally see it through the window, and the place has a very cool vibe. The service is top-notch, and the shawarma is on another level. Juicy meat, fresh toppings—everything tastes genuinely fresh and full of flavor. Highly recommended. I’ll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Excellent chicken shnitzel wraps!“

“I was starving and I called one of my cuisines and I asked him about a nearby place that makes falafel sandwiches and he highly recommend Prince of Pizza.
I stopped by and ordered a falafel sandwich and I had a slice of pizza till my sandwich ready, it was amazing both the sandwiches and the pizza
Highly recommended“

“Fabulous food and fantastic service. If you haven’t been, go! This is hands down our favorite restaurant ♥️“

“Tonighy was my first time dining at Masal Cafe and it exceeded my expectations! The restaurant is beautifully and tastefully decorated; the food and drinks were superb; and the service was impeccable! I highly recommend it and look forward to going again very soon.“

“I ordered from Al-Sham's East Norriton location twice in the last week. (I went back because the food is so good!) The sampler is excellent, and the lamb kebabs (tender and flavorful) and rice dishes are standouts. Online ordering is easy, orders are ready when requested and manager is very cordial. I know I'll be back many times in the future.“

“Very good beef shawarma and hummus. Hot sauce was more like a salsa and was a nice treat. Love the melt-in-your-mouth bread which I've never had before; so good I ate it by itself in about 10 seconds. Things that could use improvement are the salad which was a little too tart and the baba ganoush which had some hard pieces. Overall a good experience.“

“Amazing food! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Without a doubt one of the friendliest people in Philadelphia serving up some of the best and freshest halal you can find. I go 2-3 times a week and singlehandedly keeps me fed on my days off from work. I cannot even begin to say how great the food and service is as there is simply nothing else like it in Philadelphia. Lamb/rice combo with extra white and red will turn any bad day into a good one.“

“Definitely will be coming back. I got the lamb gyro. It was packed with tender, fresh lamb and the spicy sauce was the perfect heat.“

“comida buena y rapido mediterránean 2000“

“Honestly, some of the best halal food I’ve had. The service was great, the prices were affordable, and the atmosphere was really nice. Everything felt welcoming and comfortable.

“I haven’t been here yet and am looking forward to trying. After reading so many excellent reviews and the handful complaining about their interactions with staff, it seems as though the issue could be the customers’ attitudes creating a negative situation.“

“highly recommended. I visit them every time I'm in Philly. by far number 1 in the area in my opinion. I love their shawarma in their home made saj bread. keep up the good work 👏“

“The Falafels are hand made daily and the service is excellent. They’ll even run the order to you if time permits and if you are in a rush“

“The halal gyro express cart at the corner of 13th and chestnut is by far the best halal food I’ve ever had. The chicken and rice is out of this world and the white sauce is the best I’ve ever had. Keep up the good work!!!“

“We love the expanding options here . . . from amazing turkey specials ("How many napkins?" they ask before building!) to chicken parm sandwiches and the recent addition of a hot food bar (OMG the chicken marsala!), CreekSide has become a weekly go-to spot for us!“

“delicious! we tried a little of everything.“
