Very friendly and cozy environment. The buffet did not have that much variety but was fresh and like homemade. Also, the staff was very friendly, patient and caring. Tea and Turkish coffee was excellent, too .

This spot is a vibe for sure!! Chill atmosphere, great customer service, the food is soooo good!! The chicken ceaser salad was poppin!!! The lamb and rice yummy and with great portions served. The mint hot tea was perfectly paired with our hookah. The belly dancer added a nice touch to this intimate space. The hookah was sweet,smooth and price friendly. Definitely would pull up again. Ooh this is a BYOB! But get there early cause it gets crowded super fast! Ooh the reason for 4 stars is there is no bathroom upstairs. So tipsy or sober is dangerous and exhausting lol

My favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in Philadelphia! The best falafel I’ve had in Philly, and hands down the best Knafeh I’ve had in all of America. They ship it straight from Habiba Jordan, and you can taste the same flavor. The shawarma was amazing. The mint lemonade, tea and hookah made me feel transported to Amman. The atmosphere and vibes were immaculate, you’ll feel right in the Middle East. The owner and staff were incredible friendly and made me right at home. I can’t recommend them enough!

Came here for dinner on a Friday evening. The food was beautiful and fresh. The flavors and textures were well balanced. I especially liked the spicy potatoes and the baklava. The baklava was crispier and less sweet than you usually find. The hookah bar upstairs is also really nice and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

This place was definitely a Google search and drive but I must say I was pleasantly surprised.
I’ll definitely be returning with my girlfriends to take advantage of the drink specials and the food ! The hookah was very good although we could have gotten a little quicker service.
Reasonably priced especially since there’s a more popular hookah lounge not even 5 minutes from here for double the price. I will recommend the hookah with the ice hose !

I can’t say enough good things about Alamodak! My group of 4 went on Saturday, we were seated right away, served quickly, and the food was incredible. We had a bunch of appetizers and wanted to order more but were too full! Everything was fresh and tasty!

The food was very good (coming from an Arab). Lots of Philly restaurants with Arab food is quite mid, not this place though! It stays to its Jordanian roots and also have an other options such as Mandi (Yemeni) and delicious.
The Hookah/Shisha area upstairs is also a great vibe to get work done, party during weekends on their occasional Arabian nights which includes a belly dancer, DJ, tabla (drum) player, and even encourages the customers to dance as a group for Dabke or other styles.
The staff is genuinely sweet and befriended some over there with an owner who is one of the most humble and kindest I’ve met. It was delightful to have spent my time there and now I’m a regular at a weekly basis minimum!

If you want to feel in a place with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, this is your place. It is a combination of familiar faces of Francisco and Marwah; the owner makes you feel like you are your own home, and an overall sense of belonging contributes to this comforting experience

I love this place! I’ve been coming here for a few months now and everything about it is great. The decorations are beautiful, the restaurant and lounge are very clean, music is fun and upbeat, hookah is an outstanding quality for a good price, and the food is ABSOLUTELYYY delicious and authentic. The staff is friendly and efficient.
The belly dancing events on Saturday nights are super fun, and even better when there are groups of people dancing to the music and enjoying themselves. Overall it’s a very intimate environment where you can have a great time with friends, or smoke hookah and have a meal solo if you want to spend time alone. I always recommend this place for food and hookah.

I attended a party over the weekend. The place is a very casual cafe. It looks like a corner bodega that has been converted to a cafe. Not much atmosphere. They were not well prepared for the amount of people that was. We did have reservations weeks in advance. Drinks ordered took over 30-45 minutes. We were constantly out water and bread. My appetizer never came out. When the food orders finally came out...it was "auctioned" off. The server should know who ordered what and deliver it to the appropriate person. Some people never got their meal. My lamb chops where over cooked and tough like rubber tire. The hummus was good but there wasn't enough bread to eat it with.
