Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday night and the food was underwhelming. Based on the recommendations I was looking forward to a delicious time. The crust on the slow roasted lamb was hard to cut into. The skin on the branzino was very salty and the sauce was ok. The beef dumplings were flavorful. On the bright side, the staff were very friendly; Gabriel the bartender was great! Very attentive, answered all our questions and made wonderful drinks! I'm not sure I'd go back.

Seriously one of the best Mediterranean meals I've ever had. The baba ghanoush was unbelievably smoky, the tabouleh was bright and fresh, and the pitas came out nice and warm. The open kitchen is very professional and impressive to watch. Highly recommended

I want to give Suraya 5 stars but I seriously dislike the 3% service charge fee for the kitchen staff that's ALSO TAXED. I come out and want to enjoy my time and spend my $. I always tip well as long as the servers are doing their job, which they do extremely well, but to impose a 3% charge that is then taxed, is complete BS. While the food is good, the Pre Fix set up on the weekends, at $78/person for Tapas, you should be able to pay your kitchen staff a better wage. I would prefer the message on the menu to be “Our prices are high because we pay our employees well, and expect your service and food to be exceptional, please enjoy!” $625 for 4, including 2 bottles of wine, for Tapas, is a bit high IMHO.

This place is overrated and all the food from the menu was either bland or overly salted.

Service would be a zero, but that’s not possible. we sat and waited over one hour for the food, that was after the waitress went to every other table three times before she came to ours.

the food was bad too, the only good thing was the hummus.

AVOID AT ALL COST, majorly over hyped smh

Best restaurant in Philly! We ordered a variety of dishes - favorites were the Fatteh, Short Rib, and the Pistachio & Morello Cherry Tart. Staff were very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.

We had such an amazing experience at this Lebanese restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious—especially the pita bread, which was so fresh and soft that we ended up taking some home. The servers were incredibly polite, thoughtful, and very helpful with suggestions, which made our meal even better.

We visited for a birthday celebration, and they surprised us by placing a candle on the kunafa—such a sweet and memorable gesture. Even when we asked for boxes, they packed everything so neatly for us.

Overall, wonderful food, exceptional service, and a perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. Highly recommend!

The food is very delicious. The hummus is very tasty. The restaurant is beautiful. It took us 20 mins to find parking. Someone tell me how am I supposed to park here when dining in fishtown. Nightmare. We came late in a Saturday evening, and the service was a kind slow.

Amazing place for brunch. They give you a 5 course starter with spreads like labneh and hummus. You get to pick one entree too. They were able to make the shakshouka vegetarian for me too. I will be back for sure!
