    Lovely meal, friendly staff. and love the casualness. The pork belly and all the ingredients seem fresh, and the peach tea imported from Greece and a slightly different mint flavor that I enjoyed and never had before. A nice stopover very close to Franklin Institute. I thought Franklin Institute's food would not be good if they had any for the evening and I was hungry and early. So, I came here first. I think I have seen another one of these places near Fishtown but this I believe is the original location. Very friendly staff here.

    Gyro plate

    Enjoyed a good lamb gyro. Portion sizes are huge, shared a plate with the Mrs and it was just right.

    Fast food Greek place with lamb and chicken gyros. Very good and tasty. The dips are also good as they come with pita bread. Good place to get a gyros sandwich.

    Wilted red leafs in an otherwise amazing Greek Salad
    Local R.

    I think this place has amazing food and the creamiest feta cheese. Just amazing. HOWEVER I would so prefer the Greek salad with romaine or at least no red leaf wilted droopy lettuce. What a disappointment mixed in with the delicious feta, red onion, olives, and so/so tomatoes. Plus the leaves are huge - even the greens. I would love the greens and romaine. Not the wilted red - please?!?!?

    Dolmades and Tzatziki
    Michael Z.

    Stopped in here for lunch during our weekend visit in Philly and was very impressed. First off, I'm not sure if they're the owners or just who was working that day, but the staff was incredibly friendly. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and advised to grab a menu, a table, and to come back to the counter when we were ready to order. I went with the Dolmades, an absolute favorite, and a Mediterranean bowl with rice, chicken, chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, tzatziki, and goat cheese. It came with its own side of pita and was packed with SOO much flavor (dove in too quickly and forgot to snap a pic). Absolutely delicious. My fiancé ordered a lamb gyro which came proper - with fries inside - and a side salad, which he also thoroughly enjoyed. The restaurant, although on the intimate side, still feels open and inviting. We very much enjoyed our meal here and recommend stopping in if you're in the area.

    Falafel Entree and Falafel Sandwich
    Kristina K.

    I stopped here with my mom and friend yesterday afternoon for a quick lunch while in the city. It is a small place with some tables. Plenty of tables were available when we walked in. My mom got the falafel sandwich and my friend I split the falafel entree. There was definitely enough to share, considering we did not want to have any leftovers, as we would be continuing our day in the city. To start, all the food was fresh and delicious. The pitas were soft, the feta was creamy, and the tzatziki was tasty. I would need to come back here to try more things before adding another star, but I would definitely recommend giving Moustaki a try if ou are in the area!

    We came this area for the museum and wanted to have a quick lunch so we chose this place after reading some reviews. We easily found a street parking and ordered Lamb Gyro with Tzatziki and Veggie Sandwich. The service was pretty quick. Lamb was soft and flavorful, and tzatziki sauce was also balanced and refreshing. But, the pita bread for the veggie sandwich soaked all the juices from the sautéd veggies, which became messy as I ate. My only concern was the price. I understand the recent inflation, but the Lamb was $12, veggie was $11, and 3 bucks for bottled soda drinks. The quality of the food was great, but the portion was also pretty small so you might need a side dish.

    Nutella Loukumades
    Rosa H.

    After two years of seeing this place, I finally decided to give it a shot. I got the falafel platter with lemon potato and roasted vegetables while my boyfriend got the falafel gyro with waffle fries. The falafel was just okay. It didn't taste/look like falafel honestly. Each bite was super hard/overcooked and very VERY bland. I pretty much dunked a whole lot of Tzatziki on it to give it a little bit of flavor, but it was very underwhelming. The lemon potato's were so so as well. Not much flavor again, yet a little tooo acidity from the lemon. The roasted vegetables were probably the best thing on the platter. The falafel gyro was okay as well, but again bland because of the falafel. It also came with curly fries and not waffle fries, but that's completely a-okay with me! The chicken skewer was good, but a little dry. We also ordered the Nutella Loukoumades which was probably the best thing out of everything we got. Not too sweet yet reminded me of funnel cake minus the powdered sugar.

    Tzatziki and Stuffed Grape Leaves
    Kelli K.

    Tasty and affordable! My gyro meat was juicy and well seasoned. The spicy feta dip was bomb. I loved that it came with cucumbers for dipping. The best part though was the waffle fries! I got delivery but they were still hot and crispy. So delicious. I wish there was more veggies on the actual gyro. I also thought the tzatziki was a little bland. Make sure to order extra pita if you get a dip because they gave like 4 triangles for a cup of dip.

    I came here for a quick stop one night with friends! The service was rapid and the food was hot and good. It's a casual place where you can order at the counter or take out. I just got a skewer which came with a salad and tzatziki. I didn't expect that! I thought it was just going to be a stick! I also got the fried zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki but i don't think there was any eggplant so i was kinda bummed about that! I didn't finish it all so I got a takeout container and brought it home. My friends got gyros and they were a decent size and I tried my friends chicken gyro and it was delicious with fries inside! I'd come back for a quick bite.

Also they now stopped playing greek music....and the vibe is not the same. However this place is still rocking its desserts as long as it doesn't change them. We usually come for desserts and beer. Staff is okay, we have our two favorites from the old crew (they are super nice & work hard) But There is one person, however, that floats between this place and their sister location cross the street, and he has never been nice, although we are regulars and everyone else who is from the old crew knows us. We usually are easy, friendly, don't ask much, tip 20%, and leave fast. But this person, let me tell you....horrible attitude every single time. Usually we see him at the bar. Sad, because he may have spoiled it for us.....I hope it doesn't happen to others customers. Suggestion: come for dessert and beer & sit outside, probably your best bet. That's what we'll do from now on most likely.

Not a single bad dish, everything was excellent . I've had my fair share of tzatziki, and not to be dramatic but theirs is next level! Our waitress was also so sweet. She checked on us regularly even though it was a busy Saturday night, and she helped us pick our dessert. Unfortunately for me, I don't live in Philly, but I need to come back here asap.

This time around we ordered many menu items to share once again. I definitely recommend this method with the way this menu is written! Trying both meat and seafood dishes, we have come to the conclusion that Almyra seems to do better with seafood than meat dishes, though this is not to say the meat dishes are bad. For dessert, my brother got the Budino again and my dad got the Baklava. The Baklava was unfortunately dry and hard, so while this is a classic Greek dessert I would opt for another dessert here. The dessert was made special, however, complete with a "Happy Birthday" design on the plate and a sparkler for my dad. The service was once again excellent. Our waitress was very attentive, upbeat, and helpful. Lastly, having come in the winter last time the restaurant was busy, but slightly more toned down. On this summer Saturday night the restaurant was very loud, which made it hard to hear conversation. This is a small thing, but something to keep in mind if you are looking for a more intimate dinner! We will definitely be back to Almyra again! I recommend giving Almyra a try and don't forget to order the Horta!

I had some non-coffee drinks recently, and they were good enough to feel refreshed, but nothing to phone home about. Lots of seating here, but usually a lot of it is taken by Drexel student groups working. Back room has a lot more but is also strangely dim, so I'd honestly have a hard time if I was found to be working back there. Front seating though is nice with the natural lighting! For some reason they were blasting music today at a level that made it difficult to work even through AirPods. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something about Greek cafes in particular, but it wasn't the greatest environment. Service is always prompt. I've found it to not always be the friendliest but they get the job done. Late hours are a plus amongst cafes in U-City, so I'll still stop by.

The sashimi itself was underwhelming, but the wasabi, ginger, and seaweed added much needed flavor. I also tried the salad, which included sweet beets that weren't mentioned on the menu. The description said roasted, but I couldn't taste that at all. If anything, it tasted more like sweet and pickled flavor. I ordered the Ciuppin next. The server warned me it would be spicy, but it arrived almost completely bland. I had to ask for extra black pepper just to get some flavor. The mussels and shrimp were very good, but the pasta / sauce ratio was off. There wasn't nearly enough sauce to coat the pasta, which left the dish lacking flavor. From the photo, it looks like the sauce would cover everything, but once you start mixing it, you realize it doesn't go far at all. Then I ordered the warm apple cobbler for dessert. I was expecting something baked and comforting. Instead I received uncooked oats mixed with cooked apples and a scoop of ice cream on top. Why is this called warm apple cobbler on the menu? And why didn't they explain in the description that this contains uncooked oats in every bite? I was so disappointed because I don't eat oats and certainly would not have ordered this if I would have known. It resembles a breakfast granola bar rather than a cobbler. It felt lazy and misleading. I paid for my meal using my phone. After I left a tip and completed the transaction, the server told me, "We usually don't accept anything less than 18%," and pointed out that what I left was much lower than what they expect. Then she walked away without another word. Even though the menu clearly states that only applies to parties of six or more. I was dining alone. Tips are earned, and honestly, the food wasn't that good, especially not after being served a trail mix dessert pretending to be cobbler. I was surprised she questioned the amount I chose to leave for a solo meal, especially after everything was already processed. I shouldn't have left anything at all. Tipping is optional, and the experience just didn't earn more.
