    I have an amazing time every time I come to Renata's. Amazing food! Great restaurant vibes! I love that they have Heineken 0.0 for a non-alcoholic option. I ordered just the hummus this time. I usually also order the cauliflower which was a huge miss on my part. But the hummus is always so fresh and creamy. Service was wonderful too! I had a great experience!

    Came here with my friend great music and nice atmosphere as well. Food didn't take that long to prepare and the waiter was very helpful would definitely recommend if your in the area full amount came to $70

    You'll find great Middle Eastern-inspired dishes next to the 40th Street trolley portal at this restaurant! I visited in a party of four for Sunday brunch, and we loved all but one of our dishes from the experience. My favorite bites were the short stack pancakes from my breakfast platter. They were fluffy, delicious with the topped fruits, and a perfect complement to the bacon and eggs. The soup was also filling, great for a chilly, windy morning. My friends also enjoyed their Avocado Toast, French Toast, and Breakfast Burrito dishes. The only drawback was the cauliflower, which unfortunately had too much sauce that overpowered the other flavors and textures. I felt that the service was okay, but could've been more attentive. I arrived a bit later than my friends, and it took a few minutes before someone came to fill my water. However, our dishes were served quickly despite the restaurant being full and didn't have to wait for refills or our check. The restaurant itself also doubles as a great sports venue, with bar seating, an upstairs space, and plentiful TV access. I noticed many flyers indoors and outdoors advertising watch parties for soccer season, including days for Premier League, Champions League, etc. I liked my meal, and would definitely be interested in returning for Happy Hour or game watch.

    Lovely birthday brunch experience! It has a fun ambiance with very friendly service. Bekah was super sweet and I really liked her. My boyfriend and I split the House French Toast with the mango-pineapple chutney. It was tasty but I wish it had had a little more fruit (you can see in the pic that it was a little low on the berries. I know it comes with the chutney but I'd have loved more of both!). The shakshuka merguez was a knock out of the park though - so tasty! That was the better of the two although both were very good and worth ordering. Can't wait to go back!

    Vibes: 5/5 - good outdoor seatings with a nice decoration Service: 5/5 - attentive Food: 3/5 just good, i need the food to have more variety than just having pita bread with every dish. Muhammara - so good with the pita Chicken swarma - you can get this from the carts, nothing wowish Turkey hummus - Cauliflower - meh. the sauce was too watery Wings - good, but too sweet Baba g - good. Nothing out of the ordinary

    Renata's is one of several brunch options available in the UCity area. I came here for brunch with my friends while they were visiting for the holidays -- I've also heard good things about their happy hour. We had a pretty big party but forgot to make a reservation, but the staff were able to accommodate us so that was nice. The vibes inside are nice and cozy. The staff are very friendly and attentive. As for the food, it's solid! I liked the sandwich I got (Croque Madame) and also tried some of my friend's Chicken and Waffles; all of these were good. My one thing is that I found some of the entrees rather pricy. I also got a Rose Chai Latte which was great.

    Maybe the best kept secret for happy hour? (4 to 7) Come here and order anything off of the starter menu. The fries, the cauliflower, the labnah, the beautiful cocktails. If it is a nice night sit and sip and nibble while dining on the beautiful outdoor patio. Order the blueberry crush cocktail. I did. It was fruity, boozy but not overly sweet. This is a good place. Anytime. But especially for happy hour.

    Chocolate Chip Pancakes

    This place is absolutely always a hit. They have a wide variety of Middle Eastern foods specifically Palestinian. I always come for their Kanafa. Today I had their rice and chicken with their potatoes and their service is always top-notch.

    Absolutely amazing food, and great service. It was incredibly busy, but our food came out in a very timely manner, and everything was awesome.

    Absolutely incredible food. The grilled chicken fattoush salad was the best salad I've ever had. Very cute restaurant with good cocktails and nice servers also! Will be back

    Needed a happy hour spot in West Philly stat, so stopped by Renata's Kitchen. It's a cute and cozy spot with a second floor (didn't get to see what was going on up there). The vibe gives a good spot to catch up with friends or a date. Happy hour isn't shabby with some awesome cocktails. We had the wings, batata, and spanikopita which were all L I T. I'll definitely be back, likely for happy hour.

    Victoria IPA

    Renata's really surprised me with her unique delicious food and amazing draft IPA. The roasted lamb with onions and green leaves made the wild rice taste marvelous. Two types of IPA both taste great. The price is really good while they give extra discount, really big surprise!

    Top to bottom: Turkish Hummus, Sumac seasoned French fries, Chicken Mohammar
    Simone P.

    Been here a million times the food is good and it's a reliable place in a pinch because there's almost never a wait. Drinks are pretty good though! I'm sad they removed the sumac margarita, it was my absolute favorite drink there.

    The sign says they are open until 11, so we walked for 20 min to get there at 10:01 only to be rejected that the kitchen closed at 10.

This was our 1st time as we came with a few friends that were familiar with this venue from previous events. Parking was in the grass as we got there a bit earlier however, parking was a nightmare getting out after concert. Please listen to me~park further away on the street and take the long walk in the beginning so you can easily get out at the end. Tip #1 They have food vendors and food trucks which we got the loaded nachos which was just ok. We purchased lawn seating as personal seats/folded chairs are not allowed. Lawn seats were reserved in advance at the time of ticket purchase for $10 each. Upon arrival you can pick up your reserved lawn seats. The weather was perfect. The screens to see the artist and sound were great. It's was a great experience. A lot of walking is required so bring comfortable shoes. Tip#2 I may consider returning at some point.

We were escorted to the entrance, never had to go through security, they never even checked to see if we had tickets. We had lawn seats, but talked to the guy in guest services to get upgraded to pavilion, where it's flatter (and thus safer) for my wheelchair. Plus the upgrade meant we would have stayed dry, if it had rained, and we could actually see the stage. We were given two folding chairs by Mike, the guy in charge of ADA seating, and never asked once about our tickets (unlike at Jiffy Lube live where you have to pretty much have them plastered to your forehead). Parking was right outside the entrance and it took very little time to exit the lot to get back on the road. I loved the accessibility of the venue. Family bathroom is in guest services, and was clean and large enough. The fries sucked. Really. That's like the only bad thing I have to say about the place. Oh and they're a "straw free venue" which is a bit annoying for those of us who shake and rely on straws for hydration, but I clearly survived. Totally recommend.

Getting into the venue was easy…read more After passing through security, there were lots of food stands I was pumped to see that one of the stalls offered the Legendary Burger (a vegan burger created by graduates of HBCUs). The burger at the venue is typically served with cheese. No biggie, I thought, just don't put cheese on one. I asked for it without. The lady at the register said she would need to grab a manager because it comes with cheese on it. The manager informed me that she would see what she could do because the grill person was in a mood. The feeling I got was that this would inconvenience the griller. She came back, told me she had taken care of it but that it would be a bit longer of a wait. About seven minutes later I had the burger in hand and it was so good! I made my way to the lawn to see the show and it was only then that I realized that my not arriving early and dilly dallying with food had created a huge issue. I couldn't actually see the band easily from any of the remaining spots. My wife and I squeezed into a spot that allowed me to bounce between the stage and the huge tv screen but she had to rely solely on the tv screen to see the show. Considering what tickets cost, I was a bit annoyed that a concert venue would have such poor sightlines. It's not all annoying. The Skyline Stage is cool because it is outdoors and has a great view of the city. The sound and ambiance are incredible. But, because of the poor sightlines, I probably won't return here for another show.

Parking was also easy but hard to find my car when I left:/ public transpo is also easy to take to get here FYI. Not just a beautiful view of the city, but the crowds, lines, beverage and food spots were all easy to access and again- nice people! It's worth catching a show here, regardless if it's an artist you love. I felt like I was at a country club lol (especially compared to Philly outdoor spaces like Camden or the festival pier [RIP]). If you're a music fan this is such a good spot to catch anyone's show and felt like a step up from every outdoor concert I went to growing up. Could not have asked for a better first day of fall than crying to phoebe bridgers under the moon, in the park. She was excited to sell out the show too!
