Food is great!! We got the delicious baked Brie appetizer and two superb entrees. Short wait time and delicious food wld have us coming again. The only thing which pinched me was it turned out to be an expensive affair for only 2 appetizers and 2 entrees -especially given the fact it is cash only! Wld probably think abt going there again simply coz the food was good... read more

Figs is okay... but when I really want Moroccan, unfortunately, this is not the place I go. They just don't have the selection. Not a bastilla in sight! The seared ahi and wasabi mashed is great though!! Really weak amount of feta in the salad was disappointing too :( read more

Love this local restaurant! It's a great neighborhood byob. They are cash only as well. I have eaten here couple of times for dinner and once for brunch. I would recommend making reservations for dinner if you are planning to go on Fridays or on Saturdays. In addition to brunch on the weekends. I have never been disappointed with the meals. The food always tastes fresh and with lots of flavor. read more

After waiting 15 minutes for an uber, we decided to have dinner a little closer to home. We walked into Fig, only to walk back out again into the freezing cold to a ATM because they are cash only. However, our experience inside was divine!! Starters: Brie in a clay pot, Med. sample plate, and white bean paste, all with fresh pita. Mains: hanger steak, pumpkin soup(!!!), spanakopita. Dessert: fresh tea (recommended, what a great finish to the meal!!), bread pudding, apple cobbler, all with fresh ice cream. Total: $75. Great finish to a full day in Philly! read more

The food was OK, but I had a shock at the end when I learned that they don't take credit cards, and they don't provide printed receipts. This was a bit of a problem as my dinner and desert came out to $31. I had the cash but had to stop by the ATM on the way back to my hotel. If I was paying for two I wouldn't have had enough money. A restaurant with $20 entrees should not be cash-only. read more

Figs is a BYOB in Fairmount. The food is spectacular, which is why it is always packed. The owner and staff are friendly. Great atmosphere. A fun place to dine. read more

Great restaurant, nice ambiance. I can't remember what I ordered for my main course because I was here sometime last year, but everything was good. I know the appetizer was the brie and bread and that was awesome! Go here! read more

Lovely corner restaurant right near the art museums with Moroccan and Mediterranean food. Sparkling lemonades topped with a scoop of sorbet? Spectacular. Good food, sweet service. Impress your date! read more

I came here with my family and we were all impressed. The food was so good and the atmosphere was spectacular! Would recommend.

I called at 6:45 and got a reservation for 7 on a Friday night, which was awesome. When we arrived, we got right in. Seating is intimate, and the service was prompt. Since it's a small place they want to have turn over, we had three courses in just over an hour, which was fast. The food was great! We had the baked brie, veggie lasagna, and tuna appetizer, then we split the pastasccio crusted salmom...it's hard to pick a favorite they were all good. Our dessert was the peach bread pudding with fig iced cream, which was decent, I'd try something else next time. Our entire bill with tip was $60, very reasonable....we will be going back again. read more

Love this place. A group of friends and I always book a table after a museum event. From the very warm and friendly service to the minty Moroccan tea finish and especially everything in between, this slightly hidden jewel is a winner. Now that I have been here many times, I usually take on one of their specials, which usually is just as delicious or better than my companions' dishes. The flavors are amazing and the portions are just right. This BYOB has a great atmosphere and is among the first on my mental speed dial. Oh yeah, I highly recommend the salmon pita pizza as an app...Sooooo good! read more

This place was great. I came here with a friend for fairmount restaurant week. We arrived around 6:30/7- just in time to beat the dinnertime rush that came in after us. There was only 1 waiter working that night and he was zipping around like a busy bee. I tried the baked brie with honey and pita- it was good (not my favorite), a little too sweet but was a healthy portion for an app. My friend had the veggie flatbread; again good, but its been done before and I've had better. What made the night for both of us were the entrees. My friend had the tuna in the banana coconut curry sauce - AMAZING! And i had the crab stuffed sole with mushroom cream sauce- again, AMAZING! If you dont like mushrooms, then the stuffed sole is not for you (in which case I will gladly eat it for you). The banana coconut curry was a very mild, yet extremely flavorful accompaniment to the tuna. We finished off with fig and pistachio homemade ice cream. The fig was okay (6/10) but the pistachio was solid (8.5/10). I cant wait to go back and see what other treats this small byob holds! read more

Delicious food. Attentive, but relaxed service. We ordered the spreads as an appetizer and the waitress brought more pita for dipping. My friend had the branzino and it was grilled perfectly. They offer to remove the bones/head if you prefer. And, I ordered the king shrimp in orzo with spinach and mushrooms. Delicious. We stayed until close and would recommend this neighborhood gem to anyone looking for a great meal. read more

Excellent seared tuna and seafood risotto. The goat cheese eggplant lasagna was also really good. Definitely worth checking out if you're in fairmount. read more

The food was really good. I created my own omelette. It was very well priced and came out very fast. You get a good amount of food for your money. It is cash only, so make sure you bring it with you. I would definitely go back there and recommend it. Also, if you don't eat pork, they have turkey ham for an option for their breakfast which is nice. I always want meat with my breakfast, but don't eat pork. read more

Highly recommended! Especially the lavender almond Brie appetizer!! BYOB and delicious homemade food!! Staff was very friendly. Loved it here and will be back soon! read more

My favorite restaurant in Philadelphia!!!! It is a small and adorable byob with very cozy decor. I always get the ahi tuna which has never been anything short of amazing. The customer service is also wonderful. I always make my boyfriend take me here for every special occasion :) read more

Very cozy and romantic date spot. BYOB as well. Great service, cash only, and good food if you like Moroccan. Very tiny, however, so putting in a reservation is recommended. read more

Food is delicious and CHEAP! I had an omelette with spinach, feta, and turkey bacon. It came with potatoes and toast. I believe it was $6.50. Staff was very kind and attentive. Definitely will return! read more

I went here after spending the day at the museum and it made complete. The place is small and intimate and so pleasant was the service that the chef/owner made it a point to visit all a few times while there. I was impressed with my food as well, I had a beet/bean salad along with the hummus/yogurt/baba tapas spreads. i also sampled my friends dishes . . .very impressive. The fig ice cream sealed the meal. Moroccan contemporary infused fare, with the right amount serving size. Wish I had this in my hometown. read more

Yum! So delicous, I would recommend a reservation weekends though. The staff was very friendly, they were available whenever needed. I had the seafood risotto and I would recommend it to all seafood fans. Parking is an issue be prepared to drive around for awhile and most likely have a few blocks walk. It is byob and cash only. read more

Fantastic food! Great service from mustafa and staff for our group of 8. Loved the duck, beet salad, mushroom soup, and all our appetizers. Parking was tough due to eastern penn Halloween event, so mustafa found us a place. He really took care of our group and brought us a bday surprise. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. Great people and amazing food. For brunch I recommend the crab eggs benedict, and for dinner the duck. Both are fantastic. BYOB and cash only. read more

Stumbled upon this cute little place after taking in an exhibit at the Art Museum. The food and service was excellent. The soup of the day was a Gazpacho that perfect! We split the Mussels and Tuna sandwich, both excellent. I highly recommend Figs and would go back again! read more

Great local place to check out near the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It was quiet when we arrived for lunch, but filled up nicely. The owner was friendly and doing the cooking and serving. The chicken and vegetable sandwiches were delicious as well as the starter plate of hummus, babaganoush and tzatziki with grilled pita was outstanding. Our sandwiches came with a small side salad and fruit salad. Portions were large and prices are low for the city. Cash only! The mango sherbet lemonade is killer on summer days! read more

This restaurant is so awesome! This is my first Moroccan food experience. Recommend the starter and the duck breast!

I've been here several times with friends and family, it never disappoints! We have tried most of the dinner entrees and they are all spectacular. We usually start off with either the baked Brie or the eggplant lasagna, and my favorite entrees will have to be the salmon and the swordfish. The restaurant itself is very intimate and I love how you can see the cooks making your food. Most recently, we tried their brunch and it was perfect! Definitely try the Moroccan eggs! Best of all, it's byob so bring your bottle of wine for dinner, or your champagne for brunch! read more

Figs - Tuna and swordfish. Both delicious!! - Moroccan Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

See all

Very nice secret spot! We've been there many many times for lunch & dinner~ always delish!! Added bonus they make their own ice cream- pistachio is amazing!!! It's a must go to spot read more

I visit Philadelphia frequently but went to Figs for the first time last night (Thursday). The food was amazing! I rarely write reviews and I am definitely not a "foodie" but the food was so good I feel the need to share! There were 4 of us and we shared a lot of the dishes: the lavender brie, the eggplant lasagna, the grilled veggie pizza, the scallops and the swordfish. Actually I didn't share the eggplant lasagna because I love eggplant and this was the best I've had in a long time! Great combination of flavors, everything tasted fresh and just well done all around. BYOB which is always fun and cute neighborhood spot! read more

To whom it may concern- I want to start off by saying that after my most recent visit to Figs, I wish I could give this restaurant no stars at all. Figs has been around for a while now, and although the food can be delicious (It's a hit or miss each time, as they are not consistent...), their horrible service overpowers my desire to ever return again. Why are they still in business, you ask? Location, location, location. This is one of 4 local BYOB options in Fairmount, PA. Additionally, the menu is eye catching and therefore it is always busy on a Saturday night. Problem: They are desperate to bring in as much business as possible, and if you make a reservation (no matter how far in advance), there is still a 70 % chance you will have to wait another 30 minutes to be seated. My last experience included my parents accompanying me to Figs this past Saturday night. In addition to waiting as long as we did to be seated (with a reservation), I caught the server seating a walk-in 4 top before us. They sat us by the door,which I let slide, as the restaurant has a very small/intimate setting. They then took another 20 minutes to open up our wine/bring out their starter , which is bread with homemade dip. I heard my parents order what they wanted, but the server came back with duck for my mother accidentally. I am human, and understand that accidents happen, but instead of apologizing she had the nerve to accuse my mom of ordering what the kitchen had prepared for her instead. My parents and I are paying customers, and for someone like myself that works in the industry, I find that the server's reaction was unacceptable. How can this dining experience get any worse, you ask? I waited until the end of our meal to pull the hostess (who was not our server) aside and voice my concerns. Her response actually outraged me to the point where I had to pull OUR server aside and react to the hostess's reply. The hostess had the nerve to say to me "Well if you are in the business, you should know that people don't get seated right away on a Saturday night. I can apologize for seating the people before you, but I cannot apologize for seating you later than your reservation or for your mother getting the wrong meal. Mistakes happen. This must be your first time here" Mind you, this was my 17th time there. When I recited that to her, she replied with "Really? I never seen you here before" in a passive aggressive voice. Her coworker (also her relative, as it's a family run business, which is why they get away with such poor attitudes), listened to my concerns, and then instead of showing me sympathy goes "Where do you work? I hook you up next time you come in". This is unfortunate, as there will not be a next time. Alternative suggestions in town where the food IS great and so is the hospitality: Amano, Trio, iPho. Lastly, I'd like to note that the chances of Figs monitoring these Yelp reviews are slim to none. I would love for the owner to prove me wrong, but he (or she) will not, as they only care about their "cash only" profits, and they will continue to get 5 star ratings from locals that only care about keeping one of 4 BYOB's in business. Love always, An unsatisfied, belittled by Figs employees, never returning customer. read more

This is the best byob I've been to in a long time! I went for my birthday last night and I loved the small cozy atmosphere and Moroccan decor. I ordered the rare tuna with garlic mashed potatoes...they did not mess around with the garlic in those potatoes but it was still wonderful. My boyfriend got the lamb shank and it was jam packed full of flavor. The portions are generous. The only downside to the place is service isn't fantastic. Our server wasn't very attentive and he didn't really answer any of the questions we had about the menu. I asked him if he preferred the tuna or the swordfish and he looked at me like I was crazy and said they are too different. It was like I asked...what's better apples or chocolate bars?? Don't let that scare you away though! I will be back for a another satisfying meal. read more

Everytime I come here for brunch with family I am always impressed. Challah French Toast w/Turkey Bacon it just doesn't get any better. Breakfast at a reasonable price is usually not hard to find. Here, it's special, one of a kind, and for some reason- just amazing. I don't know if the water is different on this side of Philly or what? I just love it here. Oh, the tea is to die for! I love it here and I will definitely be back! read more

Long overdue praise. Hands down the best food for the price in the neighborhood, brunch included. Healthy and/or veggie options too. Almost never had a bad meal there and I must have eaten there a hundred times since it opened. Example: Soup at Figs? $5. At Lemon Hill and Rembrandts? $10. Equally (or more) delicious. Excellent service too. BYO and cash only. The latter can sometimes be a pain, but if it keeps the prices down, I'm not going to complain! read more

my absolute favorite brunch spot - order the breakfast BLT or Moroccan Eggs - everything is good, but those are my favorites. And the mint tea. yum. read more

Everything on the menu is reasonably priced for the large portions and the quality of the food. It is not Moroccan; the spices and the way the food is cooked are not reminiscent of it, but it is still scrumptious. I love that it is BYOB, and wish it were not CASH ONLY! The waitstaff to consumers is what keeps me from giving Figs five stars. I think Figs doesn't realize how successful they are and therefore refrain from hiring additional staff, and take on more than they can handle. read more

Hands down the best restaurant in Fairmount! Its a small, cozy BYO with a fantastic atmosphere, very attentive wait staff, and the best food around. Given the small size of the restaurant, reservations are recommended. Every time we've come (with reservation), we have been seated quickly by the friendly staff. The menu is diverse, with vegetarian, seafood, and meat dishes available. The brie appetizer is amazing, and the pan seared tuna is out of this world! And how can I forget, the garlic mashed potatoes that accompanies most of the dishes has me salivating just thinking about it! If you are looking for a restaurant in Fairmount, absolutely make this your first choice, great for small groups or as a date night restaurant! read more

This place is amazing, we have been coming here for years and this place never dissapoints. Everything on their menue is delicious and the service is great, doesn't hurt that it's BYOB also :) One thing to note is they are cash only so make sure u are prepared. read more

Great neighborhood spot, intimate setting, and great food, most especially their filet is unbelievable!

Small quiet byob tucked away in the fairmount area. Great food and service! Cash only. We ordered the baked brie, mussels, lamb shank and sesame crusted salmon entree and everything was fantastic! read more

Figs was above and beyond amazing. My fiancé was looking for a romantic BYOB to go to after he proposed, and he selected Figs. It is a small, neighborhood restaurant. It is beautifully decorated. Being Moroccan food, it was exotic and romantic without looking tacky. For appetizers we got the melted brie, which comes with melted brie, honey, sliced almonds, and lavender oil. It was incredible and we have talked about it several times since. Sliced bread with a white bean spread comes with the meal and that was also really tasty (and a fantastic alternative to bread with butter). For dinner we got the sesame crusted salmon and the king shrimp in a light Thai curry sauce. Everything was cooked to perfection, the flavors worked well together, and the wait staff were attentive and very sweet. It's a BYOB, so people from the surrounding neighborhood also came in with a few bottles of wine to catch up with friends, in pairs or groups. If you are looking for something different, delicious, and romantic, or for just hanging out with friends to share a great meal, I could not recommend Figs more. Also, it is REALLY reasonably priced for the quality and intimacy of the place. read more
