The Hookah is a little on the strong side however, enjoyed it and they have an extensive selection of flavors to choose from. My Coals were refreshed throughout the duration of our time at Mirage. The Food, drinks and service were okay and priced reasonably. The owner provided us all with free shots; which was extremely kind of him. Dress code varies and the DJ played a nice variety of music genres they had the crowd super lit. Overall I had a great time!

Full disclosure: I first learned about Alamodak from a Yelp Elite Squad event (thank you to our CM…read moreMegan C!), and apparently I'm more recognizable than I thought. Shortly after we arrived Francisco recognized me and greeted me like an old friend, which was really lovely, but also. my cover is blown. I don't advertise that I'm a Yelp reviewer because I want to avoid getting a different experience. SO The food was fabulous. I took a couple of my friends from out of town there for dinner one night. Well, one is from Pennsauken so I don't think that's super out of town. My other friend was from western Massachusetts. We ordered: Freshly Squeezed Lemonade with mint - very refreshing, not cloyingly sweet. Labneh with zatar and pomegranates. We almost licked the plate clean. This was a huge huge hit. Harira soup, also a huge hit. One of us got the lentil soup instead, which was also good, but the Harira was the star. We got a family sampler of hummus, baba ghanoug, tabbouleh, one other thing. It was very good, we were already starting to get full. Uh oh. Then to the entrees. One of us got the Tomato Kufta, the other got the Kufta with Tahini so we could compare. Both were great, I liked the tomato kufta slightly better. I can't remember what the third entree was, my guest was already so full he basically took it home, and told me later how it was good even a day later. Lastly, mint tea, Jordanian style, with a little jar of honey, and then baklava, which was great, not too sweet, crunchy and soft, just yum. Service was great, please see disclosure above, though. I doubt anyone else's experience would be different. The restaurant was warm and inviting in its' decor. We didn't go upstairs to the hookah lounge. Don't let the exterior fool you, inside it's comfy and welcoming. Parking...it's PHILLY. Street. If you can't parallel park your car in a spot 8" longer than it, take Uber, people. If I, who despises driving to the city, particularly sections that were built before cars existed, will do this, then you know it's a good place to eat. Also, I can get my car in a parallel spot 8" longer than my car. I am, after all, still a Philly girl, living in the 'burbs.

Went here this past Saturday for a fish fry…read more Parking: Residential Street and there's hardly any parking. Pack patience. Ambiance: ok. Service: The manager, a short woman with long weave, wasn't very nice. We waited a while before we were served our overpriced drinks. Food: The fish tasted fishy and was fried too hard for me. They had a DJ. I didn't see a jukebox. They had a pool table in the back. Overall, it wasn't a memorable time, coupled with poor parking, I doubt I would go back.

The hookah flavors are good and the vibe is pretty chill. I didn't try any food but had Moroccan tea and Egyptian coffee which were great. The owner is nice and accommodating.

This food is not only delicious for 1:00 AM--it's some of the best in the city: fresh, delicious, home-cooked. From the tender meats to the remarkable rice, everything here is cooked to perfection. The only thing better than the food here is the kindness and hospitality of the management. Warm, kind, community-minded folks building a business the way it should be built.
