“We purchased 4 packages of your Lahmajun at our Armenian picnic in the Chicago suburb and must say they were such a good treat. They brought back memories of my wife's grandparents that would make them. We ready appreciate the good quality of them and our compliments to all those who put in the hard work to make such an excellent product.

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.

“Been coming here since 2014, and it remains the best lunch option in center city. The food is absolutely delicious.

You receive a huge portion that will leave most with leftovers. Gus prioritizes fresh ingredients every day and is, rightfully, proud of his efforts. $20 now and cash only / bring utensils if you plan to eat nearby.

This spot is a city treasure that remains a bit under the radar.“

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

“Edit: the review below is from when this place was a Syrian restaurant named Bawabet Alsham. Don't know what it is now.

Would give 10 stars if I could. I've lived in the US for 11 years and went to plenty of Arabic restaurants all over the country, this is by far the most authentic that tastes exactly like food back home in Syria does. Every other so called Syrian/Lebanese restaurant (especially in Philly) should take a leaf out of this place's book.“

“I ordered from Al-Sham's East Norriton location twice in the last week. (I went back because the food is so good!) The sampler is excellent, and the lamb kebabs (tender and flavorful) and rice dishes are standouts. Online ordering is easy, orders are ready when requested and manager is very cordial. I know I'll be back many times in the future.“

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

“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.“

“Outstanding dining experience - cozy setting and elegant ambiance. The menu is eclectic and full of creative, gourmet dishes. I highly recommend the lamb, swordfish, and Wagyu—they were all cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The cauliflower appetizer was also delicious, with just the right amount of spice to give it a nice kick. Everything was beautifully presented, and the quality of the food was exceptional. I'll definitely be back!“

“Wow! We visited Maris this evening and were absolutely delighted with the entire experience.
Elise and her team offered up some fantastic food while exceeding our expectations with over the top service.
With so many options out there that quite frankly are underwhelming do yourself a favor and give Maris a try! You’ll be happy you did.“

“Delicious and always fresh!!“

“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.“

“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???“

“Excellent chicken shnitzel wraps!“

“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,“

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

“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 ❤️❤️“

“delicious! we tried a little of everything.“

“I recently visited this place and had an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service.

A girl with glasses attended me, and she was incredibly kind from the very beginning. She welcomed me with a warm smile, made me feel comfortable, and took the time to explain the entire menu in detail. She also offered me cookies, baklava, and drinks, which made the experience even more special.

Overall, the combination of great food and outstanding customer service made this visit unforgettable. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!“

“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!!“

“The food is great along with the people that work there. The only small complaint I would have to say was the price point for portions that they give. Paying 17$ for a sandwich with no sides or $20 for a bowl that has small amount of protein and some veggies mostly rice seems a little high to me.“

“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.“

“Excellent good & drinks. Great service. Beautiful decor.“

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

“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!!“

“Friendly, varied food choices, delicious, and always enough for leftovers later!“

“Greek Lady is located just couple blocks away the main campus of the University of Pennsylvania in university city. They have absolutely great location and it’s very convenient for everyone.

Greek Lady is a hidden gem. I was there for dinner and surprisingly it wasn’t very busy, maybe lunch time or early evening time they are more busy. The place was very clean and they have open kitchen. Their dining area is very big and very comfortable. Also their playlist was just great.

I ordered stuffed grape leaves which came with good amount of tzatziki sauce and pita bread. The stuffed grape leaves were just average but the tzatziki sauce was phenomenal. I just loved it. I ordered their famous spinach pie (spanakopita) which was crispy and huge. It was very good. My main course I had their plate option. I ordered grilled chicken with rice, mashed potatoes and baked veggies. They serve the plates one protein with 3 sides, sauce and bread. This is just a great deal because it’s a lot food. I liked everything so much especially baked veggies was very very tasty. They cooked chicken very well.

The service was great and all the service team members were very helpful people. Their prices are very reasonable and they serve the food with really huge portion. I strongly recommend this nice place for everyone.“
