The food is amazing. Each bite of my beef gyro was packed with a ton of flavor and fresh ingredients. The staff were friendly and fast. I dined in and saw everyone leave with a smile on their faces ?

Wow, ?. We chose this spot for the highly rated reviews, maybe we were here on an off day. Tiny little spot with a few 2 seat tables and bar stools.Food was just ok. Falafel was decent but had a sweet cinnamonish note? We had a wrap and a platter. We are most of each but were left wondering about the ratings. The pita seemed old and stuck to the wrap paper.

The food here is delicious. They make fresh lemonade and tea too. I can’t recommend it enough. The ownership is so kind too. There’s a warm energy in here that is equally matched by the incredible food!!

I love this place. Food is always delicious and it has a nice cozy atmosphere ?
Cute little cafe. Great customer service I got the beef gyro it needed more tzatziki sauce. Having a sandwich Combo option that comes with a side would be a nice addition to the menu. :)

Food was fresh, delicious, and fairly priced. Beware of the pickled jalapeños if you are sensitive to spicy food.Both their beef gyro and falafel were the best I’ve ever had. Please keep in mind that I don’t even like meat and I’ve been struggling with anorexia for decades. So it’s very difficult for me to eat anything unless it’s super fresh and extraordinarily tasty. This place is a true gem and treasure.Service was outstanding, The owner-host made us feel immediately welcomed and at ease. She let us customize our order and was very prompt with our food. She was very knowledgeable about the ingredients they use, as well.The seating area is small, but that is to be expected in this area.Overall, this was by far our favorite restaurant to visit in the Philly area.Vegetarian options: they have falafel, grape leaves, hummus, baba ghanoush, salads, you name it! they offer endless customization options if you’d like, as well.Dietary restrictions: they serve halal, and they are knowledgeable about the ingredients they use.
I wish I'd taken pictures of our food but it was too good and we were hungry! Take my word for it, though- this was delicious. Best falafel and stuffed grape leaves I've had since moving to Philly from NYC. We also got a small Greek salad that was plenty for 1 person... plus one who picks at someone else's food but "doesn't want anything of their own." ;-) Above all, you could taste the love. The service was friendly and warm- befitting the name Smiley's. Cozy little space to eat in and sit at a small table for 2, or at the counter overlooking people passing by on Main Street. Recommend!

I’ve lived in the area my entire life, and even though I’m not as frequent on Main Street as I used to be, Smiley’s is, and forever will be, a gem out of all the restaurants on the block!My family and I were thinking of this place recently and decided to pick up lunch, and the beef gyro platter and chocolate bliss smoothie were exactly as I remembered it 7 years ago when we first stopped by at their old location; flavorful, filling, and fresh (same with the beef gyro sandwich, but that’ll be for next time)! Both owners are lovely and always so kind, and asked my family how they were when picking up our order.Smiley’s holds a special place in my heart and next time in the area again, they’ll be seeing more of me soon.
