It's a pleasant surprise to find this Mediterranean restaurant at the Center City. It's a quick 6-minute walk from Suburban station. We ordered Aya’s taster to share with 4 people as an appetizer: it comes with 4 different hummus, falafel, tzatziki, waraq enab, kalamata and baba ghanough, plus abundant pita bread. We really enjoy it. For the lunch entree, I tried the Seared Almond-Crusted Salmon. It's delicious! They also have the best French fries (yes). The service was excellent - everyone was well attended to.
Cozy Mediterranean BYOB. Beautiful decor. Went for lunch with a friend but will definitely return for a romantic dinner w/my Honey. Tasty food, ok portions. Great service from our server, Nina. Best lentil soup ever!
Interesting and satisfying food with big portion sizes. Two of us got the $25 three-course meal, which seems like a good deal. I tried the hummus appetizer (OK) and the Moussaka (meaty red sauce with a cheese topping; very good).
Great experience. We absolutely loved it. Very romantic and service was great.
We had the three-course dinner; soup or salad, main course, dessert.
Soup (lentil): 5/5
Salad:4/5
Main course (chicken cofta and ground beef): 5/5
Rice (with raisins): 3/5 (personal preference)
Bread: 5/5
Tahini sauce: 5/5
Dessert: rice pudding 5/5 & baklava 5/5
Super relaxed environment. Server was really nice and accomadating. Lots of vegan options. Nice little candles on table. Really cool music. Nice comfy chairs, dim lighting. And most important- FANTASTIC FOOD. Couscous = I love it. First time having Egyptian food and it was delicious. Highly recommend.
Food was delicious. We shared a salad with an extra chicken skewer and each got a lentil soup. They were good to the last drop
Atmosphere was fair. Would be better for lunch. I don't get a dinner vibe there.
The staff was very friendly towards our dog and asked if we wanted some water in bowl. We said yes and when he came back with the water bowl we realized that he put ice cubes in the water bowl. If that's not going the extra mile i don't know what is!! My girlfriend ordered the falafel sandwich and she told me it was the best she's ever had. Full disclosure, the card machine was broken when i went in to pay. I had to go to the grocery store nearby to get cash. Hopefully this was something temporary. Still 5 stars for being pet friendly!
Good appetizers and good entrees! Lamb was amazing! Would highly recommend this place!
This was one of the best Mediterranean meals ever. The ambiance was great and the staff was delightful
Wonderful little restaurant! Not a local, I was I town for the flower show. Everything we ordered was amazing! The appetizer taster was great
I ordered the morrocan lamb shanks and they were amazing! My parents ordered the a kebab sampler and lamb chops. Both of their meals were amazing too!
