I had the opportunity to visit Greece for the first time a few years ago, and while I always liked Greek/Mediterranean food, the trip 'heightened my senses', and I now seek out the food I enjoyed so much during my visit. Almyra - I happened to walk by it a few weeks ago, I didn't know it was there. I thought, 'looks very nice, I'll have to try it'. The restaurant, which features 'modern Greek' is part of the Estia Group, which includes 7 restaurants - 3 of which are in Philly (Estia and Pietro's are the other two). I went for dinner this evening on a Wednesday, and there was a good crowd - the restaurant is quite large, and it's decorated beautifully. I started with three of the Spreads - Smoked Eggplant, Beet, and Hummus. It was wonderful trying these 3 - I spread them on the pita and crispy rice crackers - and tried them separately - spoonful by spoonful, to really taste the differences. The Edamame Hummus has a unique flavor and texture with tahini and garlic. The Beet features roasted beets blended with labneh and garlic and topped with pistachio and feta. The Smoked Eggplant with peppers and balsamic rounds out the 3 with a deep, smoky flavor and a soft, smooth texture. I always look for 'classic' Spanakopita these days, but rarely find it. The dish at Almyra was labeled 'Spanakopita Manti' - I asked my server, what that was. She said it was a favorite of hers, a fried 'flower shaped' pastry filled with blended spinach and feta, served with tzatziki and leeks. I ordered them and they were heavenly - lightly battered, crispy fried 'flowers', with a creamy spinach center, that tasted exactly like spanakopita should. I dipped every bite in the creamy tzatziki and thoroughly enjoyed the appetizer! While pork is the most popular meat in Greece, lamb is a dish served on special occasions and holidays. I 'discovered' lamb in Greece, as I hadn't ordered it that often when I would go out to eat....specifically the lamb chop. Almyra has a great lamb chop! It's seared on the grill - and I do mean seared - the deep char definitely adds to the flavor. The 3 large chops are Australian lamb, herb marinated for days highlighting the flavor of the meat. They are seasoned with sea salt, cracked pepper and olive oil for a tender finish. I like my meat pink inside - not red or rare. Cooking lamb chops medium to medium well is no small feat, yet the meat was cooked exactly the way I liked. They were tender and very juicy. These chops may have been some of the thickest I've had - and I made the 'mistake' of trying to eat them with a fork and knife. Wrong! If you order chops, you 'MUST PICK THEM UP' and eat them! What a difference!! The meat just came right off the bone and it enhanced both the texture and flavor! I'm not sure why eating them off the bone was so different, but I can't emphasize it enough - and, it's a lot more fun! Part of the treat when you order ribs are the 'layered potato fries' you get with them! These aren't your ordinary fries, in fact, they're really not fries - they are little potato masterpieces! The fries are prepared by thinly slicing potatoes and layering them to create a multi layered texture that rocks! They are truly a savory, rich side dish to the lamb chops! After such an epic dinner, I had to order dessert, and the Olive Oil cake immediately caught my eye. It was a two layered cake with a creamy custard like center and a citrus orange topping. It was light and moist, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla gelato resting on a bed of ground pistachio nuts! It was delicious and a wonderful ending to a great meal! read more

We went for a happy hour. Server was great and food was honestly well executed minus the spanikopita which though inventive tasted like bad spinach artichoke wantons. Why 1 star? Fine to have a dress code. Fine to enforce it. Not fine to not have staff communicate. We were at a family happy hour and my wife choses to wear a head covering for religious reasons. They asked her politely to remove and she explained. All good. They then came back three times and several times pointed at our table. The last time the bouncer scoffed when we explained. Not cool. read more

I visited Almyra for a birthday dinner and from the moment we walked in, the energy was what it needed to be... sexy, elevated, and vibrant without being loud or chaotic. The open concept space, beautiful lighting, and music set up a nice vibe. We started with the tuna and salmon tartare shared among the group. It was fresh, beautifully composed, and the kind of starter that sets the tone for a great meal. For my entrée, I had the lamb: tender, deeply flavorful, and executed so well! I want to add that our server was attentive throughout the night without being intrusive. Overall, I had a great time at Almyra and really enjoyed! read more

I had dinner at Almyra this past weekend at the end of a day in Philadelphia, and I really enjoyed my meal. I'll be honest, I'm always a little suspicious of places that have vines of fake flowers or selfie setups. I've been to too many restaurants that are more style than substance, restaurants that focus on decor and vibes and being a scene and lose focus on food and service. Almyra definitely has created a vibe. There are faux bougainvillea vines that make you think of Greek isles. And there is a large mirror for selfies are you walk in. There's fun music. Like I said, it's a vibe. But the food and service were still very good, and that makes all the difference. When solo dining, sometimes I'll over order a bit so that I can try more things and enjoy the leftovers at home, so I ordered one dish from their mezze, one from their raw dishes, and one from their salads. My mezze - wagyu dumplings - was delicious. The filling was delicious and the yogurt was a perfect accompaniment. My raw dish - Lavraki (sea bass) ceviche with tomato, feta, and gigante beans - was great; it was bright and acidic (loads of lemon) and interesting (I'd never had a ceviche like it - being more familiar with Latin and Central American ceviches - feta and gigantes!). My salad - romaine with dill, feta, and crispy phyllo - was also good, simple but bright and delicious. I sadly didn't have room for dessert (after all, much of my salad and two dumplings were in a to go container already), but I had a cappuccino to end my meal. Three good courses, good service, and vibes? A meal I enjoyed and wouldn't mind repeating. read more

What a vibe! This place was really nice. Sometimes I am hesitant of big spots like this, but I found the food, drinks, service, and vibes to be great. I was there in a group of 6 girls and we had a lot of fun. The vibe does lean slightly more lively without being too crazy. The octopus we had was unreal. I was obsessed. Would definitely return!! read more

came back after a few years and ... it's changed from a 4/5 to a 2/5 experience for me. upon entering the restaurant, my friend was told to take off his hat since there's a dress code (he was not asked politely either) and everyone was dressed CASUAL. PSA: just no hats i guess. waitress was nice and recommended some drinks, which personally were too sweet for us. for apps we ordered some spreads which were okay, app was an octopus which came out in an abundance and tasted like prior frozen octopus. entree kebabs would not recommend for the price ($25/$33), but was decent. overall, for this price, you can 100% find something better quality. would i come back? maybe someday years from now to give it another chance, but not for the near future. read more

Almyra in Center City Philadelphia is absolutely breathtaking from the moment you walk in. The space is stunning, elegant, and romantic without feeling overdone. It immediately sets the tone for an elevated yet welcoming dining experience and honestly feels perfect for a date night or special occasion. We started with cocktails, and they alone were worth the visit. The Fotia cocktail, made with tequila, blood orange, and jalapeño, was incredibly tasty with the perfect balance of heat and citrus. I ordered the Pathos with vodka, passion fruit, honey, and lemon, and I would genuinely go back just for that drink alone. It was that good. For appetizers, our amazing server gave us some excellent recommendations, and they did not disappoint. The charred octopus was tender and flavorful, and the lamb ribs were phenomenal. Both dishes completely set the tone for the rest of the meal and let us know we were in for something special. Before our main courses, we also ordered the romaine salad. It was good, but it felt like it could use a little more of something to really make it stand out. Still enjoyable, just not as memorable as everything else. For our mains, we ordered the Chilean sea bass and the lamb chops with basmati rice and mixed vegetables. Both were absolutely amazing. The sea bass was cooked perfectly, and the lamb chops were flavorful and beautifully paired with the sides. From the cocktails to the ambiance, the service, and most importantly the food, this was hands down one of the best date nights I've had in Philly. Almyra has easily become one of my favorite restaurants in the city, and I can't wait to go back. read more

TRIED TO DOUBLE CHARGE AND RIP US OFF!! Let me set the scene: Dinner meeting for ten, anticipation high for what we had heard were Almyra's culinary masterpieces. And indeed, the appetizers were divine, and the main courses exquisite. The waiter said the restaurant cannot do separate checks but will separate the food and liquor into 2 separate checks, which he did. However, our experience was tragically marred by a service so egregious, it destroyed the entire evening. The trouble began when the bills arrived. We were presented with two separate checks: one for food totaling $506.00 and another for liquor for $241.00. The situation became highly confusing when the waiter contradicted his own policy. After stating that separate checks were not permitted, he issued an individual bill of $88.00 to one of our guests without our knowledge, which she then settled. However, the waiter failed to acknowledge this pre-payment. Instead of adjusting the presented food and liquor bills to reflect the $88.00 already paid, he presented the full amounts for food at $506.00 and liquor at $241.00, effectively attempting to collect the entire $88.00 again. He never once communicated that a portion of the bill had already been settled. The waiter's attempt to collect an overpayment without disclosure was simply unacceptable. Only when the guest said she had already paid her portion of the bill did the waiter acknowledge her payment of $88.00, when we asked him to recalculate the bills he refused, leaving us to try to figure out the new amount on our own. Keep in mind the restaurants charge 20 percent gratuity for large parties, and the guests must do the work of calculating the bill. Total Bill Before Credit: $747.00 ($506.00 food + $241.00 liquor) Pre-payment Credit: $88.00 Actual Amount Owed: $659.00 The result was an embarrassing and frustrating confrontation at the end of what had otherwise been a delightful meal. While the food and ambiance at Almayra's are undoubtedly worth recommending, the service we received was a stark and disappointing contrast. "The waiter's oversight--or deliberate omission--trying to double-dip and collect the $88.00 twice left a bitter taste that no amount of exquisite cuisine could fully erase. Obviously, we will not be going back to Almayra where management and the waitstaff try to overcharge large parties and literally rip off the customer. If you are a large party, you need to check your bill carefully because you may become a victim of overcharging and downright thievery. Stay away from this one. Instead, go to their other restaurant, Estia, which is exceptional, provides great service, and does not try to overcharge large parties. - STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE! read more

Tasty yummmmmm in a fun atmosphere. Like a taverna on one of the numerous islands in the Aegean Sea. Upscale without attitude. Happy Hour at the bar is packed. Every appetizer we shared was enough to whet the palate. Dining tables are close together so it's easy to converse with others OR within your own party. Wait staff work together as a Team. Reservations are a must‼ Opaaaaaaaaa‼‼ read more

Beautiful modern interior with cool music vibes, made our evening dinner even more awesome. Our server was Kevin S. and he was excellent throughout the meal. We were here on the early dinner (6pm) on a weeknight so it was not crowded when we arrived. But, definitely filled up as the night went on. We began with the 3 spread mezza plate which was excellent. Next was the Cretan Village Salad which we split, and that too was perfect. Entrees were the Lamb Chops and the Short Rib dinners. I could not ask for better on either of these dishes. Lamb cooked perfectly as requested. And the short rib just pulled apart beautifully and had a great juicy flavor. We were both very very happy with all aspects of this evening a Almyra. read more

I had a chance to visit this restaurant for a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. The ambiance very nice. I was there on a Saturday and it was pretty full however they did not lack on the service. I felt everything came out at a reasonable time from drinks to appetizers to entrees. I ordered a salad and it was delicious and fresh my entree was the Lobster pasta the only thing I would change is the pasta, I felt it was more of a ravioli pasta but overall delicious and everyone enjoyed their dishes. Overall they are definitely added to my return list. read more

Honestly the experience here was so good that I'm struggling to come up with the words to describe it. Walking in, you're immediately greeted with an atmosphere that provides comfort and glamor at the same time. The inside of the restaraunt is absolutely gorgeous! They do have a dress code on certain days (check their website for more details) so be sure to pay attention to that! We visited on a Monday evening around 7 o'clock and did not have a reservation, but were promptly greeted and seated. Our waiter was very kind and attentive. The food was amazing! We started our meal with the tuna crispy rice and charred octopus, which were both very fresh and delicious. We also split the romaine salad which was as herby and refreshing. The lamb chops were to die for; succulent and perfectly cooked. The mousse dessert was also tasty! I highly recommend a trip to Almyra, you won't regret it! Pro tip: parking is a bit dicey, but the walk from the surrounding hotels isn't bad at all! read more

The happy hour here is phenomenal, I can't wait to bring others. Our waiter said the portions are small but they are not at all. Spreads (5/5) - I tried the Santorini fava with saffron and crispy capers; the whipped feta with jalapeño and radish; and edamame hummus with tahini and garlic confit . The last one was my favorite. Lamb rib (5/5) - crispy and fatty Crab wonton (4/5) - dill is prominent in a good way, crab meat itself felt masked Crispy rice (4/5) - rice felt heavy, great portion size Saganaki (3/5) - comes out in flames, heavy Salmon skewer (5/5) - came out in two pieces, I personally felt it was flavorful and juicy The interior of Almyra is absolutely beautiful and provides a sense of elegance. Come dressed to impress! I did not expect the inside to be so beautiful as the fake flowers from the exterior threw me off. I will say though that the flowers out front stand as a landmark for the restaurant. I immediately know when I am passing Almyra while driving in Center City. read more

Been celebrating my birthday all week and my mother and I decided to end things off here. First time for us both. Been seeing this place all over the internet so I was personally excited to try. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful it almost feels like a time capsule to Santorini. The restaurant has sand colors, and vibrant florals with beautiful seating and bar area. They hooked this place up, you'll definitely get some great photos! Be mindful the restaurant does have a dress code but is pretty lax from what I could see. Service was so up and down I'm not going to lie. Our server was a little off and just lost in the sauce; but the food came out quickly so I can appreciate that. The grilled cheese app to me tasted like a burnt sharp Asiago cheese or something.. wasn't a fan. The shrimp app comes with 3 shrimp--Could've gave us at least 4-5 but delicious nonetheless and I thought the sauce went well with it. The branzino was the star of the show for me--Grilled to perfection and had a nice lemon sauce on top. My mom had the lamb chops which she said were okay, a little tough but okay. And the greens were tasty but the tomato feta orzo wasn't what I was going for... I was thinking more of a cold anti pasta ordeal but this tastes like spaghetti with melted feta on top.. strange. Would love to give this place another try considering I have an idea of a few things now but they gotta get the service together because our server was in the twilight zone. Anyways... thanks Almyra! read more

This review is for happy hour only! This place is very beautifully decorated and there is a strict dress code (dress to impress!) We were sat and the corner high top table behind the massive and beautiful bar. At 5pm the bar was packed with people getting their happy hour on. We tried a variety of happy hour food items from the crispy tuna rice (pretty good flavors! was a bit greasy), salmon kebobs (flavorful but mine was a bit overcooked), crab wonton (would have preferred more of a crab flavor was overpowered by dill), lamb rib (good flavors), Saganaki (flaming cheese! fun but expected more flavor) and the 3 spreads (Santorini fava with saffron and crispy capers, the whipped feta with jalapeño and radish and edamame hummus with tahini and garlic confit - all of them are fantastic) I also tried two happy hour drinks the drink of the day (which was a gin gimlet) soooo good and a daquiri (pineapple and rum doesnt get much better than that!). I would love to come back and take others to happy hour. A fun place to meet up with great company for fantastic food/drink :) read more

The service was impeccable. Everyone was so welcoming. I felt special, The restaurant was clean and the decor was nice. Almyra's has been on my high list of restaurants to try on the East coast. I am a fan of anything Mediterranean inspired and I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it and I'm looking forward to my next visit. The humus sampler was delicious. I will try to recreate this. It included the edamame, beet and smoked egg plant humus. So delicious. The beet was my favorite and I haven't ever enjoyed beet until now. I ordered and tried the wagyu dumplings which were also very good. My entree I had the Lavraki which had lemon, capers and Horta on the side. I added the potato's and these were so delicious. All of the food was everything! They have perfected deliciousness across every item I had from the menu. I enjoyed the mild and subtle sweetness of the fish. It's not often that I eat fish, so I had to try this. For my cocktail I enjoyed the Rum sparkling strawberry moet. Very good. A must try. I highly recommend Almyra's. read more

Birthday dinner with my favorite person my daughter so we tried Almyra our first time. Place is gorgeous and beautifully decorated, very welcoming. We were seated right away, we did have reservations, and was notified twice.. once to confirm and update on dress code, second was an update our reservation was in 30 mins. The waiter took our drink & food orders. The appetizers came quickly. I can't even remember the names of the items but we had a flaming fried cheese which was good if you ate it before it got too charred on the bottom. Also had the fried shrimp which was excellent along with the dill sauce. For my entree I ordered the lamb chops with potato stacks. The lamb was a little fatty and not as tender as I would have like but I'm thinking it's due to the thickness of the cut. Good flavor though. I did enjoy my rosemary lemonade great choice recommended by the waiter. Really enjoyed our time here and will definitely go back to try more options ! read more

Their happy hour menu is unmatched for being in center city!! The tyri bites are a must have - little airy pockets of goodness. Other notable mentions: the edamame hummus is THE dip to get, the crispy tuna is delicious, and the lamb rib falls off the bone. I would pass on the spanakopita and smoked eggplant dip, only because their flavors are not nearly as unique as everything else on the menu. Such a cute spot too! The lighting and decor are great, you can actually have a conversation without needing to yell over anyone, and the food comes out super fast! read more

Almyra has become a hot spot for young professionals and those seeking to celebrate special occasions like birthdays and engagements. As such, it is loud, crowded, and service has become rushed. Hubby and I have been going here for a while- and watching the transformation has become an eye opener for me. The food is ALWAYS TOP TIER. Flavor, seasonings, presentation- all are always on point. Our waitress last night was attentive, polite, and brought our check right after we finished our dinner, lol. I would use the word efficient to describe the service. I'm an elder millennial, so I'm not really into places that are loud and crowded while I eat- but if you are- this is the RIGHT place for you! read more

Truly a five star dinner and experience! My family and I came here with a 5:30 pm reservation before catching a show down the street. We were seated quickly and took in the beautiful atmosphere of the restaurant that completely took you away from the city outside. The restaurant is a little dark, but the lights provided on the table are bright without taking up too much space. Our server started out with water and asking if we had any allergies. My dad ordered some drinks based off of the servers recommendations and loved both of them. We went into the dinner expecting to be sharing a lot of menu items, and I definitely recommend trying this strategy as well when coming to Almyra! To start we chose 3 spreads: Smoked Eggplant, Edamame Hummus, and Beet. All the spreads were delicious, each of us having different favorites. Our server also came by with more pita bread to help us finish off the spreads. Next, we ordered the Chilean Sea Bass, two kebabs (filet mignon and shrimp), and two sides (grilled vegetables and layered potato fries). Everything was brought out at once, which I appreciated, and looked beautiful. We all loved every single bite and had no complaints. The biggest shock to all of us was how much we loved the Horta that came with the sea bass. I am a big vegetable lover, so when I pointed this out my family thought I was just being me, but after they tasted it too they were scraping more onto their plate. Finally, we finished with the Budino, which was perfect. Our server, aware of our time limit to catch our show, made sure we time to pay and enjoy our dessert efficiently. We could not have asked for a better experience at Almyra. Just after our first bites of food we knew this first visit would not be our last! read more

We had an excellent experience here for my sister's birthday dinner. We had a large party and requested to sit as close to the bar as possible, it being her 21st ;) They put us at the biggest table right near the bar area so we were already grateful when we sat down. Our waitress (I believe here name was Alex) was amazing. She was kind and attentive even with our loud and opinionated party. She took a picture of our table, answered all our questions, and never made our group feel like a burden. They treated the birthday girl like a true special guest, sparklers, happy birthday dessert, and a champagne toast. We enjoyed the 5 dips as an app, the waygu dumplings, and a lot more which were all pretty tasty. It's definitely on the higher end of prices, but the food was delicious, the drinks kept flowing, and the service was impeccable. I'd definitely recommend for a special night out. read more

I've been trying to get to Almyra for some time. Overall a great experience. Server, Andrew did a fantastic job, despite how busy the restaurant was. The restaurant is very organised. Easy to tell they have a system and structure here to ensure the service and food are delivered perfectly. The food comes out in a very fast and timely manner. I appreciated the way the food was presented also. I think I could eat everything on this menu.! They have a nice selection of cocktails and wines. The bar is very vibrant and exciting!

Came here for our anniversary and wow--what a great experience! The vibe totally gives off Greece island feels, and the staff were super friendly and accommodating the whole night. We started with the shrimp Kadaifi, and let me tell you, that was the biggest and freshest shrimp I've had in a while. So good. The duo tartare was also solid. Now the lamb chops--chef's kiss. I usually don't like lamb because it's too gamey for me, but these were perfectly cooked, super tender, and seasoned so well that I didn't even need sauce or salt. Probably the best lamb chops I've ever had, no joke. We also tried the lobster pasta--also delicious. For dessert, we got the baklava, and they surprised us with a sparkler and "Happy Anniversary" written on the plate. Super cute touch! The baklava was a bit too sweet for me, but if you've got a sweet tooth, you'll love it. Definitely adding this spot to my Center City favorites. We'll be back to try more for sure! read more

Swung by this restaurant in downtown Philly/Rittenhouse Square area! Started with the dip trio and loved it! My personal fave was the edamame hummus - spicy feta was deliciously whipped and the eggplant was good also! Then got the chicken entree - rice was a bit bland, but the chicken was cooked amazingly. Super hot (still steaming!) with a crispy flavorful skin, and perfectly juicy meat. And pretty good portion for the price. Highly recommend ordering this and maybe I'd swap a side next time! Inside decor was absolutely stunning. Loved the flowers and colors - beautiful aesthetic. Music was a little loud, a bit hard to hear one another at the table. Would definitely swing by again next time I find myself in the area! read more

Fantastic food! The chicken was the most tender thing I've had. Texturally, it was almost like a perfectly cooked piece of salmon. No stringy, sticky chicken here! The tuna crispy rice was super unique with the addition of olive and yuzu. The fusion between something traditionally Eastern Asian and Mediterranean was an unexpected flavor bomb. (Super worth during happy hour) The hummus trio offered the opportunity to try multiple things.

I came here on a Saturday night for dinner and had a great experience! To drink, I ordered the Pathos cocktail (vodka, passionfruit, honey, lemon). It was super passionfruit-forward and refreshing. I wasn't feeling super hungry so I just got a trio of spreads as my main meal. I went with the Santorini Fava (saffron, crispy capers), Smoked Eggplant (peppers, za'atar, balsamic), and Edamame Hummus (tahini, garlic confit). They were all delicious, but my favorite was the Edamame Hummus. They came with pita bread and spiced rice crackers (the rice crackers in particular were super yummy!) For dessert, we split the Dubai Sundae (vanilla ice cream, crispy kadaifi, pistachios, and phyllo) which really hit the spot. The space is amazing - very large and open for the area with great ambiance. I definitely recommend checking it out for dinner! read more

Limited cocktail menu but the ones we had were delicious. We got three spreads with pita and chips: spicy feta, beet and edamame hummus. The spicy feta was a clear winner!! Lemon chicken with basmati rice was cooked to perfection. On the other hand, the Lobster pasta was bland and boring so I wouldn't recommend it. Unfortunately, the Budino was the most disappointing part of our meal. I was looking forward to the dessert but it was way too sweet with too much caramel - had to take a sip of water after each bite. We ended up leaving it half eaten and I have never in my life left a dessert on the table. Went on a Tuesday evening and it was packed!I have to give it to them - even though they space is quite huge with several tables, the service is prompt and you don't have to wait long for anything. read more

Friend of mine suggested Almyra for a night out so thought we would try it. Walking the environment is very trendy...lots of sleek colors, euro-ish music playing, and very good lighting. Checking in was very fast and were seated within minutes. Our server (Alex K) greeted us quickly and was amazing. She checked in enough to be needed but not so much that it was annoying. We ordered a fair amount of food, all of which was delicious. From the trio of spreads to the wagyu dumplings and bao buns, chicken kebab, chilean sea bass, and short rib. My only knock (but dont think its worthy of removing a star) is that the lamb bao buns tastes more of bao than lamb (but I am a lamb snob). Drinks were good and matched what they were attempting / describing, and dessert was delicious as well. Overall I think this place is very good, especially if you want a trendier experience than the average. For the $ I think the quality and quantity it worth it, and would highly suggest people make plans to go! read more

What a beautiful restaurant in Rittenhouse!! I visited for an early dinner on a weeknight over the winter. I had never heard of Almyra, but upon arriving, I was blown away by the beauty and decor of the space. The bar is so gorgeously decorated with floral, and the ambience throughout the restaurant is moody and romantic, yet welcoming. Our party of 3 was seated in the back at a comfortable table - with ample views of the rest of the restaurant. Our server was attentive and helpful with walking us through the menu. We started off with the spread tasting, trying 5 different types. My favorite was the beet dip with pistachio and feta, but I also loved the smoked eggplant. It was a nice touch to have both veggies and pita for dipping! The pita was a little ... light and less fluffy than I prefer, but still good. The spreads filled us up a good bit, so we split a few dishes for the rest of our meal. We enjoyed the charred octopus, the cheese saganaki, the waygu dumplings. I personally loved the octopus and saganaki - really enjoying the freshness of each dish and the flavors! To round out our meal, we split the salmon kebab, which was perfectly cooked and fresh with the tomato and cucumber. We paired our food with a crisp bottle of white, which was a lovely pairing for the Greek cuisine. I will say that Philly has a ton of excellent Mediterranean restaurants, so it is hard to be a standout. While Alymra may not have had my *favorite* food in the city, it was still wonderful, fresh, and delicious. I loved the spin on Greek cuisine, having a little bit of an Asian flare. This certainly was unique for the city and a fun twist! A friend paid for the meal, so I can't completely speak to prices, but it did seem reasonable for the city. I know they have a happy hour menu, which would be fun to try out in the future, and I would lvoe to return to sit at the bar and enjoy that vibe. I would certainly return again. read more
