I liked the flavor of the khao soi, but did not like that it was pulled chicken. Would have preferred a traditional chicken drum stick. The crispy chives were not crispy at all. The crispy stir fried pork belly was good. Drunken noodles were not flavorful enough, just spicy. Very instagram-able inside with the decor.

Props to Hannah and the food runners! The Poet was a delicious choice for a drink and even the bourbon forward one hit the spot. Standouts were the roasted lamb and the cauliflower for me.

The tabbouleh fell a bit short for mei- it needed more seasoning and a brighter citrus kick. The banana pudding dessert was also something we could've skipped. Everything else, though, was fantastic.

FANTASTIC experience -- just go!…read more The Lamb Fahsah was hearty and flavorful, served in a hot metal bowl with just the right proportions of shredded meat, veggies, and broth. Plus it came with FRESH pita bread HOT out of the oven -- slightly crisp outside, hot gooey inside. (Honestly, I think their pita texture and flavor surpassed a certain high-end Lebanese restaurant in Fishtown...) Decor is a tasteful modern pastiche of traditional middle eastern motifs. Overall vibe is relaxed, clean, and spacious. The only downside was having to pick just one thing from the menu, though staff were happy to help. One note: I think they're still getting off the ground, and I stood next to the "wait to be seated" sign for 5 minutes before getting frustrated and walking up to the bar guy. He was SUPER apologetic, as was my waiter, and they made it up to me with a free cup of chai tea -- plus a free refill at the end! On the chai tea: rich and fragrant spices, definitely spoiled me for the standard coffee shop version.

This place is beyond popular as I walked in and there was a line and it was just loud. Not a bad thing, just shows that they don't play around here. The service was exceptional as the line did progress quickly, the man at the register easily understood the multiple meals, and the food came out quickly and was served to our table. I had the beef shawarma maroosh way which usually comes with beef, pickles, tomatoes, and garlic sauce (egg allergy so I removed it). It was so tasty, the flavors just went crazy. The rest of my family had the kefta kabob sandwich, cheesesteak (raved about and apparently very highly rated), chicken shish tawook sandwich, falafel with taboulay sandwich, and rice pudding (not pictured). Honestly, regardless of if you eat halal or not, this is a must try restaurant. The vast options on the menu can be overwhelming but you get bang for your buck as they load up on your order.

I was upset and dissapointed at the lack of flavor. The meat was not seasoned at all and looked so plain. I on my are one half and pickled through the other half. Who do cheesesteak places not season their meat!? So irritating! The fries we ordered were also just plain. No hint of salt thrown on there before or after being cooked. I asked my friend what the deal was and I was informed I was supposed to ask for salt and pepper on the steak and also get sauce on the side for the fries. I don't feel like I'll be back but if I do, it'll be with someone else that's paying because a dollar aside is ridiculous!

While they are usually lightly staffed when we come, the staff is always on point, friendly, and willing to help with selections. My go to has been their platters.

One of the staff recommended this non-alcoholic beers they had it various flavors which I'm sort of hooked on. I can't remember the brand but I usually go Apple or Strawberry. Their Chai is also very good if you are in a tea mood. Overall, a clear recommend in my book. Enjoy!

He wanted to try Afghani food, so I turned to Yelp for a nearby location, which brought us here. Props once again! We absolutely loved the rich decor, and even got to dine in the raised carpeted private and pillowed area. It was a lot of fun, and good thing I sit with my legs crisse crossed quite often because that's how we enjoyed our meal. So much fun! The Samosas were really good and not greasy at all (no Tamarind, boo), like other versions I've tried. Our meals were excellent, I just wasn't so sure about the bread, but no biggie. I liked the rice with our beef, chicken, and lamb, but it was a bit bland or something. All of the meats were amazingly tender and seasoned! My minor dings were that the server barely cracked a smile and I didn't like their version of Chutney (it was on our table in a bottle with a white sauce, which was very light and tasty).

Marrakesh is one of my absolute favorite places to eat in Philadelphia!!…read more I wish it existed in more cities. This is a multicourse journey through Marrakesh that cannot be repeated anywhere else except for maybe in the real Marrakesh. From the Bastilla pastry, which is DIVINE, to the salads, the chicken and kebabs... all the way to the baklava and tea.... there is no bad bite at Marrakesh. The owners are welcoming and super amenable and make you feel like you're coming home every single time you visit. It's in a odd location, and you may feel like you are making a questionable life decision as you walk up the alley to the door, but when you arrive, you realize that in fact, it was one of the best decisions you've made in years!! When you enter, it's like you've been transported to a beautiful room in Morocco. The music, the decor, even the authentic seating make for an unforgettable experience. And if you get really lucky, you also get to see the belly dancers who are top notch! There is not a single thing I can think of to say that Marrakesh needs to improve. It is a one of a kind experience that I feel everyone should have at least once in life!

Since I hadn't been for so long, I ate everything as was prepared - but I'm happy to hear it sounds like they have veg options on their tasting menu. I'm looking forward to trying that my next return.
