    Chocolate Smoothie
    Blake F.

    I was in the Bala Cynwyd area and wanted a quick bite to eat so I decided to check out Nana's Kitchen. I had been wanting to check out Nana's Kitchen since it had opened up in the location of the Dairy Cafe for a bit. Similarly to the Dairy Cafe, Nana's Kitchen is a kosher restaurant and is hechshered by the Community Kashrus of Greater Philadelphia. Nana's Kitchen is a fusion of both Middle Eastern and South American cuisine. They have a bunch of breakfast items as well as lunch and dinner options. I was there during lunch time and decided to get a small pizza. I also saw they had a chocolate smoothie, which I decided to try as well. The restaurant wasn't too crowded when I was there, but it took a fairly long time to actually get my food. Eventually, my food came out and I took it to go. However, there is plenty of seating at Nana's Kitchen including a large upstairs seating area. My small pizza was nice and crispy with a crunchy crust. There was a nice ratio of sauce to cheese making a good pizza. It was nicely finished off with a bit of basil. I didn't love the chocolate smoothie because it was very sweet and didn't actually taste too much like chocolate. Altogether, Nana's Kitchen is a nice, new restaurant in Bala Cynwyd that serves a nice variety of Middle Eastern/Israeli food!

    a salad with salmon and lettuce

    I just opened up my takeout from Nana's. I ordered the Salmon with fresh herbs, which comes with tabouleh salad and Cesar salad. The salads were nicely seasoned but the salmon was very charred on the outside, yet mushy and almost jelly-like in the center. It was not even close to warm in the center. I believe it was probably frozen or not fully thawed when it started to cook, to reach this uneven texture. When I arrived I was told they were still working, but a moment later the food was brought out... I wonder if it was rushed. I would have waited longer to have the fish cooked through the center. Yes, I know that salmon is best medium well rather than well done. This was most certainly NOT medium well, as medium well should still flake on a fork, and should be warm to the touch. This was practically gooey and cold in the center. I'm disappointed.

    We had just picked up glasses at Ardmore Optical, and thought we would have dinner in Ardmore. We…read morewalked up and down the street (W. Lancaster) and didn't see anything very appealing. We were walking back to the car when we passed an outdoor mall, with a few restaurants. We noticed a nice crowd at DanDan, read a few reviews and decided to try it out. It was a Friday around 5:30 and we had no trouble getting a table, although by the time we left, it was getting crowded. We started with the Potstickers (fried dumplings) - they offer chicken and vegetable - we got the chicken. They were delicious- there was a nice crispy sear on one side from the pan fry, yet the dumpling was tender and the chicken filling was flavorful. Our first entree was the Jing Jiang Dish - sliced beef sautéed in a sweet bean sauce and topped with shredded scallions. The beef was tender and the bean sauce, which tasted like teriyaki, was very good. Our second entree was the star of the dinner - Honey Pine Nut Shrimp, which was fried shrimp tossed in a homemade cream sauce with red and green bell peppers. It was excellent! Large, tender shrimp - with a light fried coating were amazing. The cream sauce was luscious - I would never have thought a mayonnaise based sauce with honey and cream would work with shrimp - it was outstanding. DanDan has primarily spicy dishes, but there are several items on the menu with light or no spice for those who prefer not to have it. We will definitely be returning to DanDan for the Shrimp and try a few more dishes

Two of us shared the hand ripped noodles and an order of wonton in soup. Both dishes were fine but not that impressive. There's much better Chinese food in center city Philly (of course), and for the price, I'd rather go somewhere else. Overall, wouldn't really come back, but also wouldn't turn it down if someone else was enthusiastic.

    Met up with some friends one evening for dinner, and it was a really great experience. The staff…read moreis very friendly and personable, and the food is amazing. It's a relatively small spot, so the owners came out and spoke with us after the meal, which was really cool. It's a charming space, though, and they've done a great job to make it very welcoming. Even in the bathroom, which is a single-person-use, they have all sorts of soaps and fragrances all about, which, while certainly not necessary, does elevate the experience, I think. I'm a fan. Eating is mostly with hands, which was fun, though it took some getting used to, but the injera is set up great for that. And then to the food, all of it was delicious, great mix of flavors across the injera and the food it was served with. I opted for a lamb dish cooked with collard greens, and that was really good. Fun coincidence, I happened to see a colleague there randomly! I guess their reputation has grown. I would certainly be open to returning, especially knowing that the bread is gluten-free!

The Ethiopian places in Philly (Abyssinia and Almaz for example) serve combo platters for significantly less and come with plenty of sides (at least 5-6 as far as I can recall), meanwhile here the Doro Wot comes with just 2 sides and costs $30. I also didn't think the flavor was anything exceptional to justify the price and in fact like the Doro Wot at Abyssinia much more. The food is expensive and just average Ethiopian food, how it has that many 5-star Google and Yelp reviews is beyond me and quite frankly very suspicious.
