I liked the flavor of the khao soi, but did not like that it was pulled chicken. Would have preferred a traditional chicken drum stick. The crispy chives were not crispy at all. The crispy stir fried pork belly was good. Drunken noodles were not flavorful enough, just spicy. Very instagram-able inside with the decor.

Props to Hannah and the food runners! The Poet was a delicious choice for a drink and even the bourbon forward one hit the spot. Standouts were the roasted lamb and the cauliflower for me. The branzino was so crispy and flavorful as well. Would love to come back for a larger party and experience the inside dining or chef's table experience!

Really great food and such a fun vibe! You honestly can't go wrong with most things on the menu…read more The samke hara was a standout-perfectly seasoned and super flavorful. The tabbouleh fell a bit short for mei- it needed more seasoning and a brighter citrus kick. The banana pudding dessert was also something we could've skipped. Everything else, though, was fantastic. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

FANTASTIC experience -- just go!…read more The Lamb Fahsah was hearty and flavorful, served in a hot metal bowl with just the right proportions of shredded meat, veggies, and broth. Plus it came with FRESH pita bread HOT out of the oven -- slightly crisp outside, hot gooey inside. (Honestly, I think their pita texture and flavor surpassed a certain high-end Lebanese restaurant in Fishtown...) Decor is a tasteful modern pastiche of traditional middle eastern motifs. Overall vibe is relaxed, clean, and spacious. The only downside was having to pick just one thing from the menu, though staff were happy to help. One note: I think they're still getting off the ground, and I stood next to the "wait to be seated" sign for 5 minutes before getting frustrated and walking up to the bar guy. He was SUPER apologetic, as was my waiter, and they made it up to me with a free cup of chai tea -- plus a free refill at the end! On the chai tea: rich and fragrant spices, definitely spoiled me for the standard coffee shop version.

My recent first visit to Malooga was excellent. The service was admittedly unremarkable, but some…read moregrace should probably be extended there - it was a Sunday, the day after Valentine's Day, and it was packed. During my wife's and my time there, they never had an empty table that wasn't being quickly cleared for a waiting party, and we heard people assigned considerable waits when they tried to walk in. I give the benefit of the doubt that the hectic, holiday-adjacent nature of the day we went in contributed to us not receiving mugs for the tea pot we ordered or some of the longer waits between waitstaff visits. But the food and atmosphere? Through the roof. We were fortunate enough to have scored the coveted front window seating section, a luxuriously spacious and cushioned special seating option that only one party at a time can enjoy (all other seats are traditional chair-and-table arrangements), so we were especially high on the subject of atmosphere, but even had we not secured the ideal seating, I would have enjoyed the chill, evocative music coming from the restaurant's speakers. The food was the main event, of course, and it delivered. We started simple, with a hummus app. The humus was great and the flatbread really stood out - ideal density, great, light crispness to the outside, soft but at no risk of being too chewy or doughy on the inside. I ordered the salmon dish, which arrived in a big, black sizzling iron bowl. The salmon and tender little potato chunks were in a shakshuka-like red sauce and paired excellently with the plate of rice, fresh raisins, garlic slivers, and carrot bits that accompanied it. I honestly don't love raisins, but this was clearly a "have faith in the recipe" situation and I really enjoyed when they would assert themselves a bit against the sauce. My wife ordered a falafel salad platter, which she was kind enough to let me try; best falafel I've eaten in a good number of years, and she agreed (which means even more than my endorsement, since she falafel much more frequently than I do). I've eagerly recommended Malooga to friends and associates since and can't wait to get back and order some lamb!

I was upset and dissapointed at the lack of flavor. The meat was not seasoned at all and looked so plain. I on my are one half and pickled through the other half. Who do cheesesteak places not season their meat!? So irritating! The fries we ordered were also just plain. No hint of salt thrown on there before or after being cooked. I asked my friend what the deal was and I was informed I was supposed to ask for salt and pepper on the steak and also get sauce on the side for the fries. I don't feel like I'll be back but if I do, it'll be with someone else that's paying because a dollar aside is ridiculous!

One of the staff recommended this non-alcoholic beers they had it various flavors which I'm sort of hooked on. I can't remember the brand but I usually go Apple or Strawberry.

He wanted to try Afghani food, so I turned to Yelp for a nearby location, which brought us here. Props once again! We absolutely loved the rich decor, and even got to dine in the raised carpeted private and pillowed area. It was a lot of fun, and good thing I sit with my legs crisse crossed quite often because that's how we enjoyed our meal. So much fun! The Samosas were really good and not greasy at all (no Tamarind, boo), like other versions I've tried. Our meals were excellent, I just wasn't so sure about the bread, but no biggie. I liked the rice with our beef, chicken, and lamb, but it was a bit bland or something. All of the meats were amazingly tender and seasoned! My minor dings were that the server barely cracked a smile and I didn't like their version of Chutney (it was on our table in a bottle with a white sauce, which was very light and tasty).

It was a busy and cold Saturday night, but after greeting the owner (manager?) in Turkish, they were able to squeeze us in. We had a delicious shepherd's salad and some lahmacun. That was more than enough for both of us and both were excellent. Service was great, prices were fair and we got our fix of a taste of Turkiye and we were on our way. Definitely recommend.

The lamb was on the hard side which I didn't mind. The yogurt goes well with the bread from the babaganoush as well. Would come back for this and to try other things.

Marrakesh is one of my absolute favorite places to eat in Philadelphia!!…read more I wish it existed in more cities. This is a multicourse journey through Marrakesh that cannot be repeated anywhere else except for maybe in the real Marrakesh. From the Bastilla pastry, which is DIVINE, to the salads, the chicken and kebabs... all the way to the baklava and tea.... there is no bad bite at Marrakesh. The owners are welcoming and super amenable and make you feel like you're coming home every single time you visit. It's in a odd location, and you may feel like you are making a questionable life decision as you walk up the alley to the door, but when you arrive, you realize that in fact, it was one of the best decisions you've made in years!! When you enter, it's like you've been transported to a beautiful room in Morocco. The music, the decor, even the authentic seating make for an unforgettable experience. And if you get really lucky, you also get to see the belly dancers who are top notch! There is not a single thing I can think of to say that Marrakesh needs to improve. It is a one of a kind experience that I feel everyone should have at least once in life!
