We’ve lived in the neighborhood for 4 years and have not tried this gem until last week, what a shame! I did not expect the unique design, nice service, and delicious food. I had the moussaka, my wife had the lamb chops, and our young kids split the chicken kebab with rice. Also, the bar looks fun to have a drink at. Will definitely be back.

This restaurant has the potential to be a 5 star experience. It’s one of those hit or miss kind of places. Definitely ask questions, be friendly and intrigued. Post your own pictures as well to help aid in promoting their business and offering more visibility for their business if you can. The salmon was really good. It had a crispy candied essence to it, highly recommended! The broccolini was too salty, and the rice was fine, nothing out of the ordinary. Chicken was lightly seasoned at best, it more so had a tasty charred flavor. The complimentary pita is fresh and excellent. The sampler was good, but seemed to lack a pazazz of flavor I wish it possessed. Overall it really was a great experience. A bit pricey for what you get, but the vibe and atmosphere is really relaxing and enjoyable. Service was alright, they got the job done, not perfect, but not bad either. I do recommend this restaurant as the options for of a Mediterranean restaurant in this price range are limited in this area. Enjoy!

I was excited to try this place when I was searching for middle eastern restaurants near by. The food was really delicious and huge portions! The naan was amazing as was the olive oil dip that came with it. The grilled octopus was DELICIOUS!!!! Highly recommend!!!

Update:
Got take out last night for 4 of us. They did a great job packaging all the food. Falafel on the side so it didn’t get soggy in the salad. The kafta kebab was delicious. Flavors were so good. The rice was like crack with all the flavors. Vegetables were cooked perfectly. Still a little crunch and color.
The Israeli salad was made with beautiful ripe red tomatoes.
Didn’t love the salad dressing that it came with (on the side) but I used some of the pita dipping oil and that was supurb.

Everything is so fresh and delicious. The pita and oil is like crack. Soooo addicting. Great spot for my vegan daughter. So much to choose from.

This might be the best date spot in the Philadelphia suburbs. The food is absolutely delicious … my wife and I feel like we are eating in the Mediterranean.
The menu is a little overwhelming but the arctic char, salmon, and branzino are absolutely incredible and the mezze appetizers are always so fresh and tasty.
Service could be a little faster, but hard to complain! Love this place!

Wow, never going back here. Some quick pointers:
* Tattered paper menus made for a slovenly first impression and the place overall looks worn and tired.
* Wine list is not published nor did server know, beyond the varietal, what wines they were serving for $15 per glass.
* Service was sort of inattentive, immediately forgetting whose orders they were serving and server/bus staff seemingly distracted despite only a few occupied tables.
* Understand they may occasionally run out of something but, as other reviewers have mentioned, the beer list is more of a wishlist.
* Food is dramatically overpriced. Come on, chicken kabobs at $30 and spanakopita at $28? This isn’t exactly fine dining and exotic ingredients.
* Mazza appetizer had tiny portions of hummus and babaganoush with tabouleh that had so much lemon that it leaked into everything else for a bitter experience.
* I opted for caesar wrap with falafel because it seemed the only fairly priced item. Meager serving of dried-out falafel in a plain pita standing all by itself on my plate.
* Pita pizza was soggy with cheese not integrated.
* Restrooms are in catacomb-like basement with door open to grimy unkempt storeroom. Ladies room had an out-of-order sign on it and while there is an upstairs restroom, it is unmarked and you wouldn’t know it’s there.
* The bill comes with a 4% “surge charge”, which literally means dynamic pricing but in this case is a credit card “surcharge”. I’m getting used to this charge but it’s not mentioned on the menu or by the server. I also find 4% excessive beacuse it is more than the merchant fees for credit cards and it is applied to debit cards as well.

I don’t want to really dump on this place, because it had a decent ambiance and nice service. But there is no way in hell that a trained chef works in that kitchen… the food was so unappetizing that we simply asked for the check and left.
