    Tiramisu
    Lisa S.

    How this place isn't Zagat rated is beyond me! I cannot stop thinking about the food I consumed here. My fiancé and I took the opportunity to dine here since we were dressed to the nines last night. I've had this place on my list for a while so I'm happy we made it in. We didn't have a reservation, but the restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived. There were a handful of customers at the bar. We were seated in an area where we had full view of the kitchen. It looked organized and fun back there. I ordered the Mediterranean Mirage cocktail, (not pictured) which is La Superba's version of a limoncello. It was awesome and served fast. To start, a basket of complimentary warm bread and creamy whipped butter with some sort of seasoning in it was provided. It was delicious! I enjoyed it. It was different than regular butter packets or plain butter. Of course we chose more bread as our appetizer, but this was slightly fancier. These crispy sourdough toasts were cut into triangles and loaded with wild mushrooms, creme fraiche and black truffles. This has to be a top favorite amongst diners. It was way too good and we finished the whole thing. I could've licked the plate. My entree was the Eggplant Rolade and again, this must be a crowd favorite! I couldn't believe how much tastier it was than eggplant dishes I've had at high end restaurants in Center City. When I say this was full of flavor, please trust me. This is a wonderful vegetarian friendly dish. The herbed ricotta and linguine were cooked so nicely. The linguine held up overnight and tasted perfect after being reheated in the microwave today, the next day. It wasn't rubbery! Finally, we shared the tiramisu, per the recommendation of our waitress. I loved it and so did my fiancé, but I'll say it could've had a bit more espresso flavor. It was fluffy and decadent, though! The quality of service we received here was top notch, there's a parking lot with plenty of spaces, and the music played throughout the speakers is pleasant. The lighting is easy on the eyes and it's clean inside. I have nothing negative to say about La Superba! I wanted to gate keep this restaurant so bad but I feel like everyone has to experience it at least once. Definitely worth it!!

    What a vibe in NE Philly! Romantic vibes, totally fitting for a celebration or date night spot. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable of their menu. We had a few dishes to share for the table: Mushroom toast 10/10 Tuna tartare 9/10 Roasted beets and burrata salad 11/10 so so good Prosciutto and melon salad 12/10 bursting with flavors my fave Lamb chops 11/10 hooked perfectly and so good Seafood risotto 9/10 scallops were a little too overcooked but the dish had layers of flavor Rigatoni and pork belly pasta 12/10 another fave and my toddler loved it Ravioli 8/10 Dessert 10/10 unique but we were so full!!! Definitely will come back!!!

    Beautiful place! The bar is beautifully done, nice chairs & plenty of room if you want to eat there. It's definitely a dining experience... think european dinner. The staff were amazing & very attentive. The chef even came out & talked to us. The food has a bit of Mediterranean flare. I liked it was not your normal italian place.

    First time here. Great ambiance. Our server was a lovely young lady. (I wish I remembered her name. Her service was excellent.) Wife and I started with the calamari with red peppers. Freaking good. Oh the drinks! I got the Philly Godfather. So good! Entrees I got the chicken parm and my wife got the Penne vodka pasta with added chicken and a mash potatoe side. Our food did not disappoint. It was fresh, delicious and the flavors....yikes! Then ended our night with the best lemon gelato I ever had. Delicious! I suggest everyone try this place out. It's well worth the visit.

    Beautiful restaurant. Friendly staff. Food is on the pricey side. They brought out dinners rolls. Probably the best thing we ate there. They were delicious. We ordered more. There is an extra charge for more bread. My risotto was under cooked. Tiny portion. Bruschetta tasted weird. Tomatoes were bad or something. Got Caesar salad. It didn't taste like a regular Caesar salad you would expect at a fancy restaurant. Tons of cheese and mayo, no croutons and not even a hint of anchovies. Chicken parm was a bit overcooked. They automatically added 18 %gratuities to our bill. Will not be returning.

    This is some of the best food I've ever had! The service is top notch and the restaurant is gorgeous! The cocktails were creative and delightful. One of the best Caesar salads ever! The pasta is so fresh and all the sauces are perfect. The presentation is pure art and all the flavors hit! And do not skip dessert! We will be back for sure!

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!

Since I hadn't been for so long, I ate everything as was prepared - but I'm happy to hear it sounds like they have veg options on their tasting menu. I'm looking forward to trying that my next return. But I couldn't say no to their chicken after almost a decade I highly recommend checking out this business for a delicious family style cooked meal.

Within minutes the place was packed. Isot is a popular BYOB, and for good reason. Their food is delicious.

My husband, daughter and I shared the mixed plate for two, which was plenty for the three of us. We ate beef kabobs, Chicken Adana (my favorite), chicken thighs, Turkish meatballs and lamb kabobs. Served with the most flavorful salad, sautéed vegetables and rice, the mixed plate is a great option if you haven't zeroed in on something specific.

    Best Thing I Ever Ate: Hummus, Lamb Shoulder…read more This was my second visit to Zahav while visiting Philadelphia. I'm glad I had visited before because I knew the importance of pacing myself. I knew I could only enjoy a little knibble of each of the delicious salads that were initial placed on the table. I think I ate all the twice-cooked eggplant. It was so good! The hummus is honestly the best I've ever had, and the laffa bread is such a yummy accompaniment. I had to stop myself from eating too much! I tried the Phyllo-wrapped Haloumi. It was ok, but I liked my dad's Freekeh Arancini better. The Pomegranate Lamb Shoulder is the reason I had to pace myself. This is also one of my favorite lamb dishes that I've ever had. The greens are a nice accomaniment. I didn't care for the crispy rice, and it was the only thing I didn't like. I got the Pecan Konafe for dessert and it was like an exotic pecan pie. Love this! The honey ice cream was so refreshing after a big meal. I left very happy.

    I cannot think of a single way Zahav could have been a better culinary experience. I came to know…read moreabout this restaurant through Eater's "Mise En Place" video series on YouTube and was struck by the care and contemplation put into each dish. The second I knew I was visiting Philly, I set a reminder on my phone to vie for a reservation. We got a 9:30pm reservation, which was late for my usual dining habits but absolutely no question worth the extra few hours to build up and appetite and anticipate going to such a renowned restaurant. We were met with a beautiful dining room and kind, passionate people at Zahav, especially our bartenders, who made our experience a true EVENT, describing each dish to us even as we were making decisions on the tasting menu, and vouching for the fact that we MUST try the halloumi, which ended up being my favorite dish! Wow, the care that is put into the craft of this food is unreal. Zahav is a true celebration of cuisine. We started with the laffa bread being served straight out of the fire with accompaniments which were absolute flavor bombs, especially the eggplant and pickled cabbage. The bread was warm, soft, and so flavorful in itself but made even better by the hummus-tehina, which was perhaps the smoothest I've ever had. The Pomegranate Lamb Shoulder fell right off the bone, and the Amba-braised Greens and Crispy Persian Rice were side dishes that felt like main events in themselves -- the crispiness of the rice perfectly complemented the pomegranate sauce of the lamb. This was the perfect celebration dinner, and Zahav quickly made it to the top of my list of places that live up to their hype and go above and beyond in the kindness realm.

Once we got there, we were seated immediately; the restaurant was pretty full at the time. They have kind of semi fixed menu with Hummus w/Fresh Pita and desert included; you just pick the entry from the grill. For the pita/hummus, you get a plate of fresh pita and a large varieties of small plates for dipping, all of them unique and delicious. For the grill items, we picked chicken, Whole Dorade and Shawarma-spiced Cauliflower. The chicken is grilled well and tasty; the fish is very fresh and the cauliflower well spiced. For desert, we all had Brown Sugar-Vanilla Soft Serve | Strawberry Apricot Sauce, Pistachios, and Rice Pearls; another great entry. Over all, we liked all the entries; the service is also very nice. There is a 20% service charge in lieu of tips and it's well deserved.

Also the brown sugar vanilla taste better (Personal preference) than the tehina soft serve. Presentation and politeness was met. Overall great experience.

    I had the opportunity to visit Greece for the first time a few years ago, and while I always liked…read moreGreek/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!
