Finally made it to Spice Finch over the winter with a vegetarian friend, and I was pleased with our meal! It was easy to make reservations, and the restaurant is easy to find, located right in Rittenhouse. The space is vast, offering a ton of seating (which probably explains the ease of reservations). The ambience is warm and welcoming with fun decor that fits the Mediterranean focus. Service was solid, although tapered off at the end of the evening, requiring us to pester a bit for our check. For food, my friend and I shared everything. We started with the trio of spreads, then ordered the broccoli tabbouleh the roasted cauliflower, and the chickpea wedges. Our favorites were the chickpea wedges (so crispy and a unique dish!) and the roasted cauliflower (loved the flavors and the inclusion of cashew butter). But, everything was delightful. We both opted for mocktails to accompany our meal - me for the French 37.5 (so light and refreshing) and my friend for the Tradewinds (spoke highly of). We both appreciated having these options in addition to all the cocktails and wine! Philly has a ton of great Mediterranean spots, and while Spice Finch may not be in my top 3 or 5, it was a solid meal in a hip spot. I would definitely revisit Spice Finch to try more of their menu options while in the Rittenhouse area!
What a FANTASTIC MEAL. Came by with a group of ~8 with a Friday 7pm reservation. We were seated at the round chef's table right outside the kitchen. We were planning to go the tapas/family style route, but the waiter seemed a bit pressed to persuade us to choose the tasting (we were being a bit indecisive). It was initially off-putting, but decided to go in on the chef's tasting ($64), and wow were so glad we did. There was SO MUCH FOOD - it seriously kept coming. For our group size, we got 2-3 servings of "small plates", 1-2 servings of "medium plates", and options of 2 mains from steak, lamb, and eggplant (opted for the former two). Portion sizes may vary depending on the size of your party. Starters - hummus, crudités for dipping - baba gannoush - bita - crispy spiced pita - broccoli tabbouleh - chickpea fritters (delish) Seconds - grilled cheese w tomatoes - ground lamb (beef) kebabs - poeri peri shrimp - couscous - rice Mains - lamb - steak - whole fish Dessert - brownie w ice cream - orange honey cake - dates The steak was delicious, and the lamb was oh so tender. Not only did we finish the meal stuffed, we left with enough leftovers for each person to have pretty much one meal after. Very reasonable price given the quantity and quality of food.
We were excited for a girls dinner at Spice Finch but were left feeling very disappointed in the food and service. To start, we got the trio of spreads, olives, French fries and baked cheese. The spreads were ok but the portion size was tiny and none of them were particularly memorable. The flatbread they were served with was excessively oily. The French fries were good but once you finish the top layer they became soggy and unseasoned. The olives were warm which is a fun twist but the texture was mushy and unpleasant. The baked cheese was delicious, however, it was comically small compared to the dish it was served in. For my main, I ordered the king salmon. It was a great portion size. However, it was overcooked, dry, and overpowered by a very bitter garlic flavor. My friend's steak (which she asked for medium) was also overcooked and tough, without a steak knife she was really struggling to eat this. My other friends ordered the swordfish, cauliflower, and halloumi salad - all were ok. The desserts really saved the day. The tahini brownie was incredible! The lemon cardamom bun was also tasty but a little dry. The ambience here is very nice and the bar is beautiful but the bathrooms are filthy. The service was fast but unfriendly. Overall, we were underwhelmed especially considering the prices.
The convening I attended reserved the restaurant for dinner for the entire group. There was a section set up for appetizers and then we got to pick where to sit. Then, there was a pre-set menu with various appetizers & main entrees. Each table got all of them. It was soooo much food!!! Most of the food was interesting in taste. I love Mediterranean food and the food here mostly tasted good but coming from Houston, TX, it was not the best I've ever tasted. However, the ambience and service were really great. Dessert was served at a separate section and it was pieces of brownie with what seemed to be marshmallows & what appeared to be strawberry shortcake pieces. Both were just okay. Overall, I recommend it for a business meeting or to hang out with friends. The most interesting part was the wall paper....
I was looking for a nearby restaurant and found out that Jennifer Carroll (top chef alumni) runs this restaurant so I had to check it out. Friendly service. It looks like it can be a spot for a cute date night or a small group of friends night out. The server was helpful with providing drink and food recommendations. It is tapas/family style. The food here was phenomenal. I really enjoyed the smoky baba ganoush from the trio spread. The Halloumi salad was good but got heavy after a bit. The steak kebab was cooked perfectly and tasted great. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for great Mediterranean/middle eastern food.
We went to Spice Finch for dinner on a Saturday night and it was pretty full! We made a reservation about a week in advance. The interior and ambiance are nice. They have a decent wine and cocktail selection. Our waiter was great and offered great recommendations for food and drinks. The halibut was tender and slightly crispy on the outside though a bit bland overall. The halloumi gem salad and roasted cauliflower were delicious! It's funny that a prior review mentioned some of the staff trying to clear dishes from the table too early because this happened a few times during our dinner as well. We were not done yet and they kept trying to take the plates away.
My friend and I came to Spice Finch for an amazing dinner on a weekend. The ambiance is beautiful inside, everything on the menu sounded great, and service was good. We ended up ordering the Melitsanosalata, the Shabazi Fries, the Halloumi Gem Salad, and the Mushroom Nwassar Pasta. The Melitsanosalata was a delicious, refreshing eggplant and feta dip with walnuts and pomegranate on top. The Shabazi Fries were served with harrisa aioli but to be honest we didn't taste much harrisa in it, and the fries were just ordinary fries. We would probably not get this next time. The Halloumi Gem Salad was refreshing and came with many pieces of halloumi. The Mushroom Nwassar Pasta was so creamy, with these tasty crispy sunchokes on top. Both of these were my favorite dishes of the night. Even better, they were marketed as small plates, but the portions were super generous!
i really enjoyed spice find the first time i was here, but my recent visit for restaurant week fell a little short of expectations. overall, we still had a great dinner! my boyfriend and i came for the restaurant week dinner ($45 tasting menu) which was definitely worth the price tag in terms of quantity. however, the appetizers were truly subpar. the chickpea wedges were dry and bland, the fattoush was uninspiring. frankly, i would not get either of those appetizers again. my favorite item here of all time is the moroccan steak frites which are served with shabazi fries. the steak was tender and juicy, very flavorful, and the fries were perfectly crisp. unfortunately, the fries were cold when they came out. i don't know what was going on that day, but it took an hour and a half for our entrees to hit our table... and my boyfriend and i are extremely fast eaters. i got so bored of sitting there that i wanted to just get everything to-go and leave. our server was nice, but it was just so slow. the whole dinner took over 2 hours, and i was losing my mind by the end of it. patience isn't my strong suit. overall, i would come back but skip the mid appetizers. the steak is so good that i would come back just for that. i'm hoping the slow service was just bad luck, i don't think i had that issue the previous time i was here. it's a beautiful restaurant, great for a casual but classy date night.
Adorable date night spot for Mediterranean food. They have plenty of seating and cozy. We got the Lamb Shank with couscous salad for two and the trip spreads. We were able to opt into getting both the flatbread and crisps... although the flatbread was better suited for the dips.
Good spot for Mediterranean food in Center City. The chicken kebab was my favorite. The meat is super tender and flavorful. It slides easily off the skewer. The trio of spreads was yummy. I liked the babaganoush and hummus- they had a slight sweetness to them. The halloumi gem salad was ok. The croutons/crackers were a bit hard/cut into large pieces making it more difficult to eat.
A LOT of food! We really enjoyed a couple of the dishes, however some of the dishes needed some pizzazz (read seasoning/spice). Alas, Spice Finch's dishes weren't very spicy. Our waiter was good, took a while to come over and the check ins were essentially an "everything good?" as he was already moving away. We were sat next to the station where waitstaff plugged in orders, so were privy to some complaints-being assigned to too many tables, etc. Fave of the chef's tasting menu were the pita with dips-very tasty and flavorful and brownie dessert-who doesn't love warm brownie and cold ice cream? There is interior and exterior seating and lovely decor. It was okay and you get a lot of food for your $$ but due to a serious lack of flavor, we really won't be rushing back.
Great experience start to finish. Loved all the flavors. I strongly recommend the tasting menu. Felt like a good value and we got so many dishes that were all wonderful. Our service was very attentive and loved the vibe. Trendy and upscale, but not overly so. We went for my wife's birthday, and Mediterranean is not what I typically gravitate towards, but I loved everything.
Last minute decision to have breakfast at Spice Finch. Arrived without a reservation and was seated immediately. I ordered the two eggs with bacon and spiced hash (8 /10). Oh! And of course some coffee. The service and food were splendid!

Service around happy hour was minimal around bar area. The menu of large plates at 1.5 lbs of food each impressively include zataar fries and a plans of other Mediterranean flavors. There's both kabab and Tadiq or Persian crispy rice for the traditional menu lovers. The rest of the menu is fresh, surprisingly flavorful and priced fairly Service is lacking severely. The host had such a nasty attitude 1/15/26 at 18:40 that I will not return again. I was concerned about her demeanor and I asked her if she was ok; she repeated my question back mockingly and rolled her eyes. The rest of the staff gathered to laugh at her behavior, covering their mouths to whisper at each other while staring at me; I was like dealing with preschool children. I mentioned my table was in eyeshot already seated at the bar and the host boasted that without a reservation I couldn't join a group already seated and waiting on me. I walked around the host; sat myself at the bar informed the table of what happened & we all left promptly. There was a wonderful skinny male host with dreadlocks the week before who seated me and was wonderful. Today's experience was a stark downhill experience from his service last week. Poor & inconsistent service. Great food. Order to to go you don't want to deal with toxic Host/bar staff that will go out of their way to ruin your dining experience. Unless the staff will be corrected; I won't return. read more

Food Quality and Taste: 3/5 I would have to rate this place a 3/5. Some dishes were underwhelming and some were surprising. I must caveat that Mediterranean is not my favorite cuisine, so take this review with that in mind. The Fruit and Feta was not great. The seasonal fruit was strawberry and fig. Unfortunately, the fruit wasn't as sweet as I'd hope. The Roasted Cauliflower was a standout! It was seasoned extremely well and the vegetables were tender and cooked well. The trio of spreads were fine, but the bread was very good. Fruit & Feta: 2.5/5 Trio of Spreads (garlic yogurt, green hummus, melitzanosalata) with crudites and flatbread: 3.5/5 Roasted Cauliflower: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Service was great. The server was attentive, pleasant and apologetic that an item I wanted was not available for the evening. A manager also came to check on our experience, so that was nice as well. After dinner we hung out for a while and the server brought us water after we settled the bill. Very nice touch. Atmosphere: 4/5 NOTE: I did not have a chance to see the entire restaurant. But, what is saw was very nice. There's a bar, outside and inside seating. The lighting is very nice and nice decor. Value: 4/5 The prices were very reasonable. The service and atmosphere really contributed to a nice experience. I will go again to check out more options. Opportunities for Learning: 5/5 There are many classic Mediterranean dishes and many drinks with interesting ingredients or twists. Get ready to google as this will test your foodie knowledge and provide many opportunities to learn something new. read more

Went to spice finch for a friend's birthday party. This place didn't have adequate seating for our party of 8 to be honest. The lady who served us was doing double duty with the bar so she was really peeved when we kept changing seats but her actions really did ruin the experience. She was mad because my friend changed seats even though she asked if she should give her name so it made getting the check easier. She was brash about not letting us have multiple checks after a certain point. She was hard to get ahold of at the end of the night for the bill or other food items. She also brought my friend the incorrect dish and then blamed her for ordering the wrong food when she did no such things. The food definitely redeemed the service. I really liked the N/Agroni. This drink was a non alcoholic nagroni. It is such a clever name for a drink and tasted just like an alcoholic nagroni. We also got the blistered peppers which were very delicious. The peppers were mixed with harissa and tahina. We also got the Lamb Merguez Kebab. This dish had perfectly cooked lamb that was spiced for perfection. Usually I hate lamb but this is definitely worth ordering. The dessert is not to be missed either. We got the warm tahini brownie. It was the best dessert ever. It was very rich in chocolate and the perfect warmth. read more
Very close to Rittenhouse Square, Spice Finch is a Mediterranean spot in Philadelphia that's perfect for a flavorful meal or even a productive work session if you're me. We started with the chickpea wedges, which were crispy and incredibly addictive. The peri peri shrimp, served with a bold and zesty sauce, made me want to slurp as if it were soup. To complement the meal, I sipped on the rosemary old-fashioned. It was a unique twist on a classic cocktail. Be ready for all the flavors at this spot. read more

This place was GOOD. We started with the "Trio of Spreads" appetizer which came with garlic yogurt, red pepper hummus, melitzanosalata and spreads. In addition to the crudités, we tried both the flatbread and berbere crisps. I'm not sure which I liked more as they offered such different textures and flavors. So I recommend getting both. We also tried the Spinach Kichi which was similar to a flaky croissant roll with a layer spinach wrapped up inside. The flavor profile was divine - the soft pastry paired wonderfully with the spinach. For my entree, I ordered the Grilled Eggplant, which was much larger than I anticipated but so delicious. The eggplant was swimming in the creamy tzatziki (I think?) sauce with chickpeas which made for a wonderful combination. Overall, I was so impressed. I really loved the upscale yet laid-back decore and ambiance inside, and our waiter was fantastic. I hope to return soon to explore more of the menu. read more
I came her for center city restaurant week, and it was a great choice! They offer a 3-course meal for $45 and also have a larger chef's table for $65 that's always on their menu. I had the blistered peppers, Moroccan steak frites, and the tahini brownie for dessert. All were very flavorful! I also had the hibiscus margarita, which was delicious! I liked the vibe of this place and would love to come back! read more
I've had a lot of great experiences with Middle Eastern food in Philadelphia. This was not one of them. We went with the tasting menu, which was reasonably priced. Another benefit was that I probably would have regretted the meal more if I had to pay individually for the majority of the dishes we received. One big gripe I had, though, is that there is no menu for the tasting menu and really at no point until the main dish did I know if more food was coming or what food was coming. First came the dips: garlic yogurt, red pepper hummus, and melitzanosalata. I wasn't familiar with the latter but it was the best of a fairly mediocre three. Came with one flatbread but wish there had been more instead of the strangely hard spiced chips they came with (which felt like/tasted like chicharrones). At this point, an absolute mound of tabbouleh joined the table. I continue to wonder why someone felt so much tabbouleh would ever be necessary. The twist of a broccoli tabbouleh I felt like didn't really work, as the broccoli just made the whole thing quite bitter. Blistered peppers was a nice dish. The sauce was a good mix of tahina and harissa. Chickpea wedges were fine. A bit overly mushy inside and crumbled easier than expected once dipped. The baked cheese really added nothing to the meal by the time it came out. Not sure that the combination of baked cheese and tomatoes was a smart choice. Also, serving this in the baking pan in which it was made felt a bit off when the remainder of the dishware had matched so well. Peri-peri shrimp: probably the best dish of the night. Plump shrimp, decent sauce. Lamb shank: We chose this over the bass option. We subbed the crispy rice for the couscous. The rice was fine but at least what I was expecting from it. The lamb was supremely without flavor, as were the vegetables with which it was served. The latter were also not as cooked/soft as I would have wanted or expected. Two desserts: the brownie with the ice cream and halva was good-nothing standout but at least done well. The date truffles bordered on inedibly sweet. The place itself was pretty empty for a Saturday night. Our waitress was super attentive. This was in contrast to the waitstaff that brought the dishes over and essentially whispered what each thing was with no explanation. read more

I tried Spice Finch for the first time last week and I'll say the best part of my experience was the bartender and the fabulous cocktail (pictured) Aftercastle. I arrived for my reservation early and spent time with her before transitioning to a seat. The ambiance is "cute" due to its location within a hotel and a beautiful part of the Rittenhouse area. However, the spaces within are cramped, tight and from my personal experience, not enjoyable. I began my experience at the bar and every minute someone was brushing up against me due to the tight space and walking to the service area. When I moved to a table, the service was ultimately poor. The server was disengaged, rude and wasn't helpful when suggestions were needed. I also noticed the lack of check-ins with us compared to the surrounding tables, it was disheartening. I provided this feedback and all I received was "Sorry to hear that." It was restaurant week, so I gave grace on the long wait for the food. There were many great options to choose from. The Chickpea Wedges (pictured) were GREAT! I wasn't a big fan of my meal, the peri-peri shrimp, it was cold. However, my friend LOVED the Moroccan Steak Frites! Overall, this was a celebratory evening that I wish would've turned out better. read more

An absolutely incredible meal from start to finish. The appetizers, the entrees, the cocktails- my whole family enjoyed everything. I personally got the swordfish which was cooked perfectly. Our server, Andrés, was phenomenal. He really set a warm, hospitable tone. He was very attentive and kind. 12/10 will be back when I'm in the area. read more

At Spice Finch, a Mediterranean restaurant, tabletop or bar seating is an option only after lunch but before dinner, but it is excellent for a healthy, yummy bite to eat. Our choices: Appetizers: Warm olives and fruit (figs) with feta cheese. Small Plates: Steak kabob and Peri Peri Shrimp Excellent quick service during this quiet, slow time before dinner read more

Delicious and beautiful space. We had trio of spreads, beets, roast cauliflower, lamb kebabs, eggplant, chicken large plate. Service very attentive! read more
This restaurant has been on my list for a while now. Finally, there's an event coming up, and I'm so excited to try it! They serve mostly vegetarian dishes here. Here's what we had: Broccoli Tabbouleh: So fresh. It's healthy but tasty at the same time. Blistered Peppers: Shishito peppers- sweet and a kick of spicy. Baked Cheese and Roasted Cauliflower: Both were a bit too sweet for my taste but still good. Persian Rice Cake: Don't order this; it has no taste. Shabazi Fries: These fries are so good and addictive, seasoned with some type of salt. Chicken Kabab: The meat is tender and flavorful, paired with a delicious sauce. Watch out for the chili pepper--it's spicy! Skirt Steak: Cooked perfectly and tender, with a bonus of fresh cucumber and spiced cashews. I love their dessert--custard cake and brownie topped with ice cream. So soft and so good. The service is good, but the food came out very slowly. It was a Tuesday night, so I'm not sure why they were so busy. The restaurant has a romantic vibe, good for couples, with dim lighting. Overall, everything is great! read more
Elegant place in the heart of the city so a safe spot off walnut. Service was great as nothing was rushed at all which I prefer in my service. Food was delicious, hummus was plenty and so were peppers for apps for 4 people. The chicken and cauliflower was tender and fresh with veggies and sauce. Shrimp was almost jumbo size too which helped soak in the flavor. Busy spot but weekday wasn't too bad. I'd go back again and they have outdoor tables too. read more
This review is 3.5 stars rounded up to 4! This restaurant is very cute and spacious inside. The food was super great and flavorful. The chickpea wedges were unique and I really enjoyed the dipping sauce they came with. The chicken kebab was juicy and tangy, and I liked the bit of spice from the chilis. Got the brownie for dessert which you can't go wrong with (although I wish they added more halva to mine!) I really enjoyed everything I ordered and the portion sizes were really great for the price! Where this place fell a little flat was the service. The employees were generally nice but the wait times between courses were way too long. My party and I all ordered everything at the beginning so I think the courses couldve been timed better. Then when we got our check at the end of the meal, there was an extra item on our check that nobody at my table ordered. When we told the waitress, she sort of questioned us a little bit and then after telling her again, she said she would go "investigate", which meant that we had to wait even longer to leave. Although she was still nice and I totally understand that mixups happen, my group and I just didn't love all the waiting around we had to do as we had another commitment after dinner to go to! Overall this place was great and I would probably come back to try more things on the menu! read more
