10/10 recommend! This was my second time going for a birthday dinner and we were not disappointed at all! The food was delicious and the drinks were great. I'll definitely be returning for a third time. The dips are amazing. The hummus was my fav!!

Almyra has a nice atmosphere overall, but my experience felt a bit mixed. The dining area was quite loud, and the tables were packed very close together, which made it hard to enjoy a relaxed meal. Also, the bartender was a bit disrespectful, which took away from the hospitality I was hoping for. I ordered my meat medium, but it came out much rarer than expected.
That being said, the food itself had good flavor, and the place clearly has potential—it just needs some adjustments with service, seating, and attentiveness to orders.

The service was impeccable. Everyone was so welcoming. I felt special, The restaurant was clean and the decor was nice. Almyra’s has been on my high list of restaurants to try on the East coast. I am a fan of anything Mediterranean inspired and I’m glad I had the opportunity to try it and I’m looking forward to my next visit.
The humus sampler was delicious. I will try to recreate this. It included the edamame, beet and smoked egg plant humus. So delicious. The beet was my favorite and I haven’t ever enjoyed beet until now. I ordered and tried the wagyu dumplings which were also very good. My entree I had the Lavraki which had lemon, capers and Horta on the side. I added the potato’s and these were so delicious. All of the food was everything! They have perfected deliciousness across every item I had from the menu. I enjoyed the mild and subtle sweetness of the fish. It’s not often that I eat fish, so I had to try this. For my cocktail I enjoyed the Rum sparkling strawberry moet. Very good.
A must try. I highly recommend Almyra’s.

Visited Philadelphia for the day and decided to try this restaurant after seeing it appear on my social medias. It’s trendy and the ambiance was aesthetically pleasing for area. Food and cocktails were decent. The host greeted us and took us promptly to our table which was very small by the way. Service was horrible. Operations and management of that place are not up to par. The host came over and we told her if we can shift to the table next to us because there’s more leg room and she just joined another table to accommodate us which was nice. But here comes our server, ANDREW M pulling the table away while we are eating and drinking. Also causing a scene shouting aggressively “you can’t do that, you can’t have this table.” I told him the host put it there for us for more room because if my partner were to sit across from me there would be no room for traffic movement. He didn’t even know who the host was and didn’t apologize. Never did he also introduce himself, ask how is everything so far, just put the check on the table. Had to go out my way to get other waiters to help us order more cocktails. His apperance was disheveled, improper dressing with his pants below his waist, no basic hospitality training. There were many table next to us getting wrong food items sent to them even our table. There were a group of four ladies a few tables away who were also mistreated by Andrew M. He ruined my whole vibe and experience. It was a bad taste in my mouth. Almyra needs new management, operations, and hospitality training because it’s such a beautiful space that’s being ruined by its current service.

Almyra is always such a vibe. I went there for a girls’ night, and it had been a while since my last visit. Every time I go back, I’m reminded of how good the food and drinks are. The only downside is that the music can be a little too loud, which makes it hard to have a normal conversation without raising my voice. Aside from that, the vibes are up there, and the music itself is great.

We came here on a Saturday. It was so packed we had to stand at the bar to eat and drink. We had the lamb chops and a drinks. Both were good. It was definitely a vibe. I would come back,but on a weekday.

Almyra is hands down one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Philadelphia. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and inviting, with a modern yet authentic Greek-inspired design. The menu is outstanding – fresh seafood, flavorful mezze spreads, and perfectly grilled meats that truly transport you to the Mediterranean.
I especially loved the octopus and the lamb chops – both cooked to perfection. The dips are some of the best I’ve had in the city, and the wine list has fantastic Greek selections that pair beautifully with the food.
The service was exceptional – attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or a spot to enjoy authentic Mediterranean cuisine in Philadelphia, Almyra is a must-visit.
Highly recommend making this your go-to spot if you’re searching for Greek restaurants in Philadelphia, fine dining in Rittenhouse, or the best Mediterranean food in the city.
