Lovely experience...we had the tasting menu…read more Appetizers...loved the dumplings and chive rice cakes...we ordered oysters as well (those were not as successful) The prawns were delicious...I recommend using the spoon to get all the flavors in a bite. The ground pork curry was my favorite...sublime. I am going to have lots of leftovers tomorrow and I'm pretty happy about that. Dessert...I don't generally like tiramisu...this will change anyone's mind. The shaved ice...I can't...it's glorious. Anyway...go. The parking is easy on a Sunday...not sure about the weekend.

Baba ganoush- fantastic. It was so thick and creamy that you wouldn't expect it to be made from…read moreeggplant. It was almost the texture of hummus. Flavor wise, it was smokey and the pomegranate added a nice pop of acidity and freshness. The olive oil drizzled on top was also very good. The pita was fresh and warm and had pieces that were a little more charred which was great. Cauliflower sandwich- it is more of a wrap vs traditional sandwich. I liked how thin the wrap was. The cauliflower was very seasoned and cumin-y. I wish there was more pickled cabbage. The fries were thicker but it wasn't dry inside. They were also doused in zaatar seasoning and fantastic. Would get just the fries as a side or the whole thing again! Lahm bi-ajeen man'oushe- like a very flat, crispy pita with meat and tomato and pickles on top. It was good, nothing super outstanding on this one. Shakshuka- tomatoy, lamby, and jammy eggs. Cant go wrong with this. I thought it was maybe a touch salty but it went well with the pita to scoop Ngl service was a little strange in my opinion. One person arrived before the rest of us and they kept asking her to order first. They would come at random times with questions or random pauses when talking. Nothing super warm or welcoming or notable service wise

We went to Suraya for my 50 th birthday and sat at the chef's counter. I had heard great things…read moreabout Suraya and was excited to try it as I love trying new places. We had the prix fixe menu and enjoyed all of our items. It's right around the corner from Laser Wolf which is my very favorite restaurant. I wish we hadn't passed Laser Wolf on the way, because I couldn't help thinking all through dinner that the food was very good, but not quite as good as Laser Wolf's. I will say that Suraya wins for dessert. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had kanafeh which is one of my very favorite desserts. The kanafeh was one of the best I've had.

It was perfect for my friends and I to swing by and grab a bite. The service was phenomenal, our waiter was cheery and attentive to our needs. The food wasn't bad either, we started with these fried banana bites which honestly was the highlight of the meal. The chicken tenders and spicy fried chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries were quite good and standard. The bun on the sandwich was soft and pillowy which was perfect for the flavorful, spicy, and slightly tangy chicken patty. The chicken patty didn't particularly have a crunchy crust on it but it was juicy. I think Front Street Cafe is worth a visit if you're looking for a place to hang out with friends and to grab some food. It is pricy for what I got but I would say the atmosphere made up for it.

The…read moreservice was extremely slow - it took awhile for someone to initially visit our table to take our order and once a server did take our order he did not return to refresh drinks or provide silverware when our food arrived. Another staff member brought our food and left it so quickly we had to flag down another server to bring us silverware and ask where our server was to refresh drinks. The food we ordered had great portion sizes and flavor. The shrimp and grits were thick and chunky with just the right amount to spiciness. The mushroom bacon was a nice vegan option and crispy. $ Limited paid street parking nearby

Because we were a large party we shared a bunch of the family style trays which ended up being perfect. Meat highlights were the juicy brisket and flavorful pulled pork - on a Hawaiian roll this was absolute perfection. The best sides were the burnt end beans and the mac and cheese. The vibes are fun and lively and they have an extensive list of beer, wine and cocktail. The negroni was so smooth that I had to order a second. Because of its proximity to The Fillmore this is a great pick for a pre-concert dinner. For epic bbq and good vibes you gotta get to Fette Sau.

First off, we love BBQ. We've enjoyed it in KC, Texas, Iowa, Tennessee, North Carolina, and many…read moreother amazing BBQ destinations, so we admit we're pretty picky. I really liked the location and ambiance of Fette Sau. The chicken was outstanding--moist, flavorful, and one of the highlights of the meal. We also enjoyed the ribs. They were huge, tender, and very tasty. Unfortunately, there were several disappointments, which is why Fette Sau only earns 3 stars from us. When it comes to brisket, I'm not accustomed to BBQ restaurants serving almost exclusively the point cut or fat cap. We ordered a pound of brisket and could only eat about a quarter of it because it was simply too fatty for our taste. We strongly prefer the flat cut, which can still be incredibly moist and flavorful when prepared well. A combination of both cuts would have been fine, but receiving mostly fat was a major letdown. The large mac and cheese side easily fed the three of us, but it was very dry and lacked flavor. The cornbread muffin was similarly disappointing--dry and bland. I'm glad we took the time to visit because the atmosphere, chicken, and ribs were enjoyable, but given the brisket and sides, I don't see us returning.

A wonderful dinner to celebrate my son's birthday…read more Service was outstanding. Made the experience all the better. Started out with cocktails and some happy hour à la cart items. All great. Really enjoyed the signature cocktails. The fries and the chicken wings are a must. We got an array of dishes including the swordfish, dorado, portobello mushroom, and the ribeye for 2. I think they knock it out of the park with the fish and the sauces. So good. And of course we finished with the soft service. Got some of each. It's a great way to wrap up a fabulous dinner.

If you're coming here for the hype, you might leave a little disappointed. Laser Wolf has a fun,…read morecasual atmosphere with plenty of bar seating, and the staff was friendly throughout our visit. We started with the Salatim, and while the variety of spreads and salads was fresh and enjoyable, the pita was surprisingly underwhelming. It tasted more like premade pita than something fresh, which was disappointing since it's such a big part of the meal. For our mains, we ordered the Chicken Shishlik and the Romanian Beef Kebab. The chicken was the biggest letdown of the night it was tender but lacked flavor. The beef kebab, on the other hand, was juicy, well-seasoned, and easily the better choice. Oddly enough, the French fries ended up being the best thing we ate all night. They were perfectly crispy and honestly some of the best fries I've had in Philly. Dessert was another disappointment. For a restaurant at this price point, having only two soft-serve ice cream desserts felt lazy and like an afterthought. Overall, the food wasn't bad, but nothing besides the fries and beef kebab really stood out or made me want to come back. In a city like Philadelphia, where there are so many amazing restaurants in the same price range, I think there are much better options for both the food and the overall experience.

The restaurant is located in what looks like a typical Philly row home, with plastic dishware and kitschy decor. Not only did the restaurant feel down to Earth, but so were the prices. The dumplings in particular were super cheap and shockingly good, and the beef skewers were nice and tender. The size of the lemongrass vermicelli was on the smaller side and the dish didn't particularly stand out, but it was still good! I'm definitely looking forward to coming back here, whether for a full planned meal or an impulse takeout dumpling stop.

Unfortunately, the chicken and waffles were completely drenched in BBQ sauce, which overpowered the flavor of the food. It felt like I was drinking BBQ sauce straight from the bottle. The fries were well-seasoned, but they arrived cold and soggy. The restaurant's layout also wasn't ideal. The seating felt cramped, and I kept getting bumped into from behind throughout my meal. On a positive note, the waitstaff were very attentive, friendly, and helpful, which made the experience a bit better.

My love for Sulimay's can't be overstated. It's everything you want in a neighborhood diner…read more Unassuming and homey, a place that just makes you feel welcome. Since my first visit, I've been working my way through the menu and haven't had a miss yet. My favorites include the hash browns (to die for!), the buttermilk pancakes (great homestyle flavor & perfect texture), and the biscuits and gravy. I'm from Tennessee, so I'm picky about my biscuits and gravy, and theirs is the best I've had in Philly yet. I often go on weekday mornings, sit at the same corner table, and read a book while I sip coffee and enjoy a meal. It's perfect. Not to mention, they're big supporters of our local community, politically active, and do yearly fundraisers for the Eagles Autism Foundation. There's a lot to love here! (Oh! And cash only, but there's an ATM in the back!)
