“I have stopped in here a few times and every time I end up more impressed! Today I tried the fudge cups for the first time based on the owners recommendation. I tried it (immediately) and I think I ascended into heaven. It was THAT good. My husband had a Boston cream donut and he said it was the best he ever had. We were going to save the other desserts but I think we may need to skip dinner today and just eat them. The owner is so nice and friendly as well. Love this place!”

“Ordered chicken over fries and lamb over rice.,. It was so good. The food was delivered. Only negative was the delivery guy who left the food on the dirty floor next to a busy street! Will definitely buy again either go get it or done in.”

“Could not recommend this place enough!! I am constantly recommending this place to friends and co-workers, and not one person has ever been disappointed. Crispy Spice is truly worth the hype, every order is always a 10/10 across the board. Do yourself a favor and give them a try!”

“I love it here! The staff is so welcoming and friendly. The place is clean as well! It’s so convenient especially when I get late night munchies. The food is great and for fast service that is hard to do. The tacos are my favoriteeeee. Im plant based and they have manyyyy options for me. The food is so filling but leaves you feeling great rather than sick. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Wow...since I'm vegan they will willing to make me a vegan taco. They were deliciosos. You must have it. The watermelon agua fresca was very good and refreshing. The esquites so yummy. And the churtos were crunchy outside and soft inside. Will be back soon.”

“Based off of my one-taco experience.. The staff are very friendly and the food delicious. I spent some time talking to one of the owners and learned this business opened about 9 months ago and is family-run. They make their tortillas fresh to order and only make small batches of meat throughout the day so that it is always as fresh as possible. As far as I know, they are the only Mexican restaurant around here that makes fresh tortillas.The one owner is trying to convince her sister to make Tres Leches cake for them to sell in the store alongside their flan. If you go, ask them to add Tres Leches cake to the menu so that I can buy it once it’s added ?”

“I saw a review on crypto investment that changed my story for good. I never believed it at first but after much convincing by my account manager in the person of Mrs Craig Vanessa I decided to give it a trial with just $5,000 even though there was a lower cost of investment. Starting with this, I made a profit of $35,500 in the first week. I am sharing this here for those that may have an interest. Mrs Craig Vanessa is genuine and her style of trade is unique. Completely top-notch and different from the rest. Contact her today and you will not regret it. Send her a DM on WhatsApp via the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”

“Very cute cafe in Northampton! Right next to the Roxy theater. They have different kinds of coffee from lattes to cappuccinos to espresso shots and many more. They have Monin syrup for flavors and the alternative milk choices are Oat or Almond.They have a lot of pastry options, but nothing looked vegan or gluten free.I highly recommend coming here if you are in Northampton. It would be nice if it had more food catering to more diets like vegan or gluten free, but I also know there may not be a market for that in Northampton.Vegetarian options: The coffee is vegan and they offer oat and almond milk. Monin syrups are vegan except for the honey flavored ones that are not carried at this location.There are no vegan pastries. There are vegetarian pastries.Dietary restrictions: They have pastries, but they contain a lot of allergens like nuts, eggs, milk, and gluten. If you have a dietary restriction I would recommend sticking with the coffee only.Parking: Parking is metered along the street. You must pay with quarters. There is no app to pay to park. 1 quarter is 1 hour and there is a 2 hour max. If it's busy then it is impossible to find parking, but if it's calm then there will be lots of free meters.”

“My mom and I went to Da Judah today after hearing my mom rave about their food. I didn’t know what to expect but one thing I can say for sure is that I understand why my mom spoke so highly about the restaurant. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the owner and beautiful music that mentally takes you on a trip to Kenya. The atmosphere was so inviting that it almost felt as if I was going over to an aunt or family friend’s house for a dinner party. I ordered the beef samosas, chickpea samosas, red snapper, goat egusi, beef stew with fufu, and all three of their homemade juices. If I could give a rating of 1000/100 I would. The food was immaculate! I highly recommend the samosas, red snapper, and the house made juices, especially the passion fruit and watermelon juice. All in all, I highly recommend this restaurant and definitely will be visiting Da Judah for again in the future.”

“Just tried this place for the first time, and I had the PCR Burger, it was incredibly delicious, one of the top best burgers I have ever had. I will definitely come back to try more menu items.”

“A gem in center city! Coffee and the food is rich, delicious, and hot! The restaurant is clean and has an upbeat vibe. And the staff and ownership is super friendly and accommodating.”

“For years my family has been searching for truly authentic Mediterranean cuisine— after tonight the search is over! Sahara is our new favorite restaurant. The quality and freshness of each ingredient in every dish that they serve sets this restaurant apart from all the others by miles. The flavor of each dish was exquisite and tells a story of the hard work and many hours that go into crafting each bite. The service was fantastic, and it was such a pleasure learning more from the owner Tom about how they prepare their incredible food. We ordered the family dinner platter with skewers of chicken, beef, and lamb— all of the meats and grilled vegetables were marinated, cooked, and seasoned to perfection. The platter came with the shepherd salad, which was all made fresh upon ordering and had a great lemon dressing. The platter also included their fresh pita bread and hummus, which were incredible! The French fries included in the platter were delicious as well. We ordered an appetizer of their stuffed grape leaves too, which were out of this world! For dessert, we had their homemade baklava, which only further sealed the deal that this restaurant is our new family favorite! If we could give Sahara more than a perfect review, we would! After spending over 14 years living and traveling in Europe, it has been difficult to find a restaurant that matches the quality and freshness of the food served overseas— Sahara achieved that and more! I cannot recommend them enough! You will not be disappointed!”

“I give the food 4 stars because I always test each Chinese restaurant for their General Tso’s chicken dish. If the chicken is not crispy, then the sauce and the chicken should’ve been presented separately even if it’s takeout. No one in PA has survived that test yet. Also, there should be a tang from the vinegar that stands out and again no one in PA has reached that level.However, based on the taste and experience of the local residence, this is a five star to them. So I see both sides. However, if you are well traveled, this is a three star restaurant regarding their food.Parking: They are usually parking spots to park at, but may have to park further down the street during peak hours.”

“Came here for dinner with a big group and it was great! We shared 24 oysters, of which there was a great variety. I got the Chilean sea bass special and it was cooked perfectly. The chocolate peanut butter dessert was soooo good. Wines and cocktails are reasonably priced too! Great spot in Allentown.”

“I've been looking for a new Mediterranean restaurant for a while, and my daughter and I decided to give this a try.I have a new Mediterranean restaurant! The beef shawarma was amazing. It was so good that we both polished ours off without a second thought. Absolutely delicious, fresh, and seasoned flawlessly.The namoora was phenomenal. I hadn't had any in quite some time and when saw it on the menu, we had to try it. We also got some baklava and it was also incredibly good.Long story short, the staff care about their customers, the food is delicious, and I will most definitely be visiting this place often!!Just go. You will not be disappointed.”

“Great lunch . French onion soup was tasty but cooked to death. Onions were nothing but mush. Croutons did not make it a better. Cheese was melted perfectly. Then the wedge salad with lettuce that was crisp blue cheese that was not overwhelming, cut Grape tomatoes too green and bacon that was just right. Iced tea and service was exceptional. I would return many times if I lived nearby.”

“Whew this was my first time and it was soooo good! We ordered a bunch of food and weren’t disappointed. The elote was bomb, the flavors of the brisket, salmon, ribs and jerk chicken are so good and the Mac is really done well! So glad to support this business and we actually ordered with the owner who was super nice. The aesthetics are nice too! I literally ordered an hour ago and had to make sure I put a review TODAY! Thank you!”

“Such a hidden gem discovered! A friend and I decided to try Ms Velvet’s today for breakfast after reading such great reviews - and it truly was so yummy! Not to mention chatting with Carlos - such a delightful human being. Was nice to be sitting in the old stomping grounds of CCHS & SHH … just observing and taking in the positive presence and energy that Ms Velvet’s has brought to the neighborhood.”

“The people who work there are very attentive, we ordered lamb gyros that come with 2 side dishes, we tried the grape leaves and feta cheese with olives, the mango juice is made from natural fruit, I recommend everything, super delicious!”

“I tan next door and walked by this place for months and had been wanting to go here....so made a reservation. Did not check menu or pricing so fiance was a bit surprised at prices...oh well. BUT...it was soon good and he agreed. The steaks were perfect, and the loaded potato...the asparagus could be grilled a bit or something. I got the raspberry something cocktail and it was so good! I love the atmosphere. I would go in just for drinks. Also please note, the sides are enough for two to share. I would absolutely dine here again.”

“Me and my boyfriend went for Valentine’s Day lunch and the food was amazing, there’s a lot to choose from. The menu has ample options and all seemed delicious. I had the green curry which was very good. The service was also quick and she was very kind. Very good food for a decent price, a nice place for a casual date.Vegetarian options: You can choose to not have meat addedKid-friendliness: Make your kids eat regular food ‼️”

“We drove one hour to this restaurant, and everything we consumed was absolutely delicious. The service was on point. This was well worth the trip, and we will definitely return. There smokehouse mozzarella app was fabulous too.”

“I never had African food before, other thank one of their Sorrel Ginger, which is delicious! I had the African Queen it was scrumptious! My meal was served in a timely manner! The establishment is very clean and both the owner polite and were explaining the health benefits of some of their drinks! This is the new official African spot to eat at. I highly recommend you check them out!”

“Best italian in a long time will be coming back bringing friends and family.Kid-friendliness: Did not bring kids, but seemed like all are welcome. Very family oriented restaurant super friendly staff.”

“Probably THE.BEST.BREAKFAST I have had in a very long time. The saltiness of the halloumi with the creamy, perfect poached egg and freshness of the pesto was a match made in heaven. And honestly, that is saying a lot for me, because I am not a huge breakfast fan, but I would hands down order this again, and again and again. I don't have much else to say. Out waitress was great. We didn't have a reservation (which I don't recommend on the weekend... this place is POP.U.LAR) but the hostess gave us a table if we could be done in 75 minutes, in time for an 11:45 AM seating. Despite that, they did not rush us. The place does appear to be a neighborhood haunt, just about everyone who came through the door seemed to know, what I presume is the owner or manager, as well as the staff. So there was definitely a nice, casual vibe to the place. I honestly need to come back for dinner, if breakfast, a meal I generally don't care about was this good, what other surprises await?!?”

“Really good milk tea (I recommend the wintermelon milk green tea) Cute designs all over the wall + nice little tables and cute stuff to buy other than drinks (Figurines, hats, claw machines, and exquisite pastries) Workers are so kind and get your drinks out quick.”

“Food is absolutely fantastic. The Kuzu kebab dinner is lean. The babaganoush great. The cousins and sister who run the establishment are friendly and service fantastic.”
