“Everyone should come and try Mediterranean foods!! Everything is delicious, fresh, and made with love! Pick-up is easy and the people are wonderful! They have been in business for over 30 years! Thank you for bringing this masterpiece to PA!“

“I think I probably have had just about everything on your menu, and I loved everything. I also like that Stina is not pretentious.“

“As a travel agent, food is important to me. I not only book for my clients, but I also make restaurant recommendations and WOW!!!!!! This place is it 😍😍😍 I took many photos last night of the food, the atmosphere felt as though I was not in Philadelphia, but far away on a perfect vacation dining at an amazing restaurant. I'm going to post my photos on my business page, people, if you want Greek food, THIS IS YOUR PLACE ☺️ Thank you for a wonderful hospitality and an amazing time my fiance and I will never forget.“

“Excellent friendly service and some truly remarkable food. Highly recommend.“

“I took my family here for dinner tonight, and the experience was awesome from start to finish. Making the reservation took <1 minute, parking was easy, and for those who enjoy BYOB, there’s a wine and spirits store just two doors down.

The service was outstanding and the food was phenomenal. This place is truly a hidden gem with fair pricing and an excellent menu. My boys, ages 9 and 7, even said it was one of the best places we’ve eaten, which says a lot.

Highly, highly recommended.

“Delicious food, beautiful scenery, very friendly staff.“

“Buck a schuck oysters, double braised short rib over rigatoni, key lime pie and even got a hug from the beautiful Solidea D! Everything was exquisite. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Probably the weirdest platter I’ve had ever. There were charred/roasted grapes, peppers, chicken, avocado on top of noodles, along with a host of unidentified alien objects. But hey, we liked it! 😄 Lines are looong. Also the guy is quirky and kind, a Philly urban legend“

“The first time I had Cava was 2 weeks ago and the steak was great. Today the steak was nothing but gristle and not edible. I had to throw it away because I couldn't chew it. The steak had no seasoning. It was horrible. I wasted my money. I drove 2 hours because we don't have one in our town. Plus the young man making my Steak and Feta Pita was incredibly rude. Definitely won't be back.“

“Excellent, kind, authentic Greek dining experience. The food was spectacular and very flavorful, and everyone was in good spirits. Great price for such delicious food“

“I grew up on homemade Middle Eastern food made daily by my parents, so I’m very picky when it comes to authenticity. I’ve tried a few places that just didn’t hit the mark—but AL SHAM in Chalfont is a straight 10/10!! They serve real Arabic bread (pita)—not tortillas disguised as pita like you find at other places—and their homemade Lebanese toum (garlic aioli) is the real deal. One bite of their falafel wrap instantly transported me to a boardwalk in Lebanon, overlooking the Mediterranean—complete with fresh bread, Lebanese pickles, and those perfect pickled turnips. The meat is 100% Halal and you can taste the quality. Flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. **This is the kind of spot you want to support. We’ll be back again and again—do yourself a favor and try them ASAP**“

“Very nice and clean cafe. Fantastic food and great price. Highly recommend“

“Food was fantastic and service was great. I forgot to take a picture of the food because I started eating it too quick before I realized I wanted the photograph for this post. But I will definitely be returning. It will photograph my next venture there. I had the beef and chicken combo. Best on earth“

“Very authentic Yeeroh (Pork) drove over 1hr from south Jersey and it was worth the trip !“

“Amazing place, delicious food, fun atmosphere and reasonable prices“

“Great atmosphere, friendly service and tasty food.“

“I have never! given anyone a 5 start review but I have to sayyy this is the best vegan shawarma I have ever had in my life! Omg the falafel was crunchy and that isn’t easy to come by the hummus the cucumbers cabbage everything blended so well together was so flavorful I am in absolute love and will be returning“

“Janiyah munirah briyonna all were fantastic! It was first time getting cava and they were very helpful and friendly. Even gave me some great dip recommendations that were really good! Definitely coming back here again. Such hospitality from the rockstar staff!“

“a very authentic delicious food,and a great generous team,I highly recommend it“

“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.“

“omg one of our Doctors treated us to lunch today ..so so good ..I will now go on my own ..food was delicious“

“We were very excited to try yet another of the Shulson Collective. Entering the space only made us more so, as it is spectacular. Execution was not up to the standards we are used to from this group. Does it really take 20 minutes to deliver a diet coke? The Mezzes and apps were very good (particularly like the beet spread). The kebabs were not. Lamb was excellent. Chicken was good, salmon was undercooked. We will, however try again. I will chalk the service up to newness and maybe the specific server.“

“1)wonderful food and a goodly portion.2) BYOB 3)Not cheap but reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. Hits the Restaurant Trifecta!!!“

“Loved our brunch today. We stumbled on this place while visiting Philly. Was intrigued by all the Zagat stickers and went inside. Sampled the weekend brunch menu, Moroccan eggs, crab benedict, French toast and the spinach quiche. All dishes were delicious. But, since I had never had Moroccan eggs before, was very excited about trying that and so enjoyed the spice combo. Also really enjoyed the Moroccan tea. Lovely neighborhood bistro. Fabulous service and experience. Highly recommend.“

“Hummus Grill is a fantastic spot for fresh and flavorful Mediterranean food. The hummus is smooth, rich, and clearly made fresh, and everything on the plate tastes homemade and well seasoned.

The portions are generous, the ingredients taste high quality, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. It’s a great place for a quick lunch or a relaxed meal, and the food is consistently good. Highly recommended if you’re craving authentic Mediterranean flavors.“

“I was visiting Villanova and a good friend brought me to Nova Grill. The owner was over the top nice and accommodating. His Greek Hospitality did shine. Instantly felt like a regular. The place was spotless and well set up. All cleanliness and proper measure were followed perfectly. The food was plentiful, cooked and presented well and hot ( often forgot these days). The Locaniko ( Loukaniko) was spot on in flavor. I will most definitely stop in again when in the area. Highly recommended.“

“Zaffron Grill is one the best restaurants at the Shops at Liberty Place. I love their food, especially the Steak Kabob platter,“

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

“Had lunch there after not being in area for several years. owner and server were very friendly, interactive re their menu and the style of the cuisine. Nice people. The food was tasty, attractive,“

“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.“

“As wonderful as I remember. A true cc gem. Get the tiramisu“

“A colleague recommended me this place and I decided to finally go try it for lunch. I got the chicken shawarma bowl and it was absolutely delicious and fulfilling. Portions are just right, not too much not too little. Ingredients tasted fresh despite having picked up this order. Much better than Chipotle by miles despite the slightly higher price point, there needs to be more NAPAs opening outside of major cities.“

“WOW. I don't know what I just ate because it feels like the first time that I've eaten actual food. How is this place so good? Literally the food tastes like they just harvested all of it immediately before prepping. Literally blown away. This will probably be my #1 food place in Philly for years with zero close competition. I am seriously in awe of how good my first meal there just was. To the owners, please don't change, it's incredible. If you keep your prices this low too I'll probably eat there like 5+ times a week, no joke. Incredible. Bravo. Seriously.“

“Fast fresh delicious food, and I really sweet newly expanded dining area“

“The owner is a huge supporter of local music. The food is great, the musical talent they bring in is awesome. What more can you ask for???“

“This is not the first time I wat at Mezeh in the past years. I ordered a salad bowl with lamb and grains, as always, everything tastes extremely fresh, well cooked with details, nothing tastes artificial or oily even their fountain juices taste very fresh. For such a price, it’s so worth it to have such a healthy meal :)“

“My husband and I took our daughter and friends here tonight for dinner and everything was magnificent!!! So fresh! So delicious! Our server, Catherine, was wonderful. It was our first time but we will definitely be back!“

“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“

“Pizza is amazing and the atmosphere is even better ❤️❤️“

“Just had a great experience here! Best customer service I’ve experienced in a long time. Was pressed for time and had entire pizza ready in 5 minutes and it was delicious. Highly recommend.“

“delicious! we tried a little of everything.“

“I traveled from Ann arbor for the weekend and wanted to visit Lourdas. I hadn't been there for years but it is as lovely and inviting as it was years ago. We had grilled Octopus salad and soupa avgolemono. Then we had shrimp Lourdas and lamb chops. They were both delectable. We took baklava and galactobureko home for dessert. The staff were attentive and patient and the other patrons seemed to be regulars with a few newbies here and there. I can't wait to go back!!“

“We ordered the Easter brunch catering deal that was posted on Facebook. It was a great selection of food with something for everyone. It fed 10 of us with leftovers. Very reasonably priced and delicious!!“

“Great value. I had the chicken on rice w/ salad & hot sauce. Couldn't try the white sauce due to a milk allergy. The chicken, rice and salad were fresh. Platter came with a canned soda for $8. Plenty of drinks to choose from. Def would return.“

“Wow - Vita Sana is beautiful inside and everything from the coffee to the rice bowls and the smoothies to the wraps are amazing!

Can't wait to return and use them for an upcoming event. Finally healthier options for lunch and work events.“

“Super tasty super healthy option and the best part is they make it however you want and its fresh everyday!“

“First time at the Ale House and we were really happy we went! Great bartenders/waitstaff, delicious portions of Fish & Chips and Roast Beef Sandwich w/ skinny fries, sadly we didn't save room for dessert. Definitely a sports bar vibe w/ 8 big screen TVs in the bar area. Did not get a look at the dining room but it seems to be a good size.
Will absolutely be back!“

“Had to drop in and get an Italian hoagie before I head back to Ft Lauderdale.. because there's no such thing there!!!“
