Okay so I went to this place 2 days ago, sat inside. 1st thing I noticed was it was dark, red…read morelights, and chair with fabric. Against my better judgement I sat down in the corner closet to the door. I got bit up sooooo bad. I stayed for about an hour or so. When I got home and took a shower all the bites started itching badly!!! They have bed bugs on their furniture. The place is dirty. If you do happen to visit sit outside!

Great service. And more importantly the hookahs are well-made, some flavors will burn out faster…read morethan others, but picking the flavor is key to a bomb hookah! The only thing was, when we ordered a refill flavor. He said he would have to charge us for another whole hookah since our original hookah was a fruit head hookah - I'm glad we were told this before it was just brought out to us. It was basically like getting a whole new hookah (-price-wise). So that got expensive. I love just sitting outside - they share this cute street with neighboring restaurants and bars. Its so relaxing! The noise is not loud at all. BYOB! Everyone's favorite. They uncork your wine and beer bottles. ALSO another great and convenient option is to walk 2 restaurants down to the restaurant SET. You can buy drinks from the bar and head over to Orient. SET is great!!! Overall - great experience and solid hookah!

Okay, as most businesses these days it's some kind of hybrid between all the others. So this is a…read morehookah lounge with a full service restaurant inside. The food is actually good. The parking is decent, but it's kind hard to find. You're looking for a building jarred between to closed (gated) stores. They have a big black glass window and a HUGE air vent above the door. Pay it no mind, the food is good. I'll give it a bit before they restaurant in the back is free standing on it's own. You have to start somewhere. They are cash only from what I could tell, the young person at the counter wasn't too friendly kind all in their phone so I didn't ask about paying with cards. As for the food, they threw me for a loop! I really thought I had something over cooked, but honey when I tell you this salmon was gigantic and tender as homemade. and I mean I have a 45 minute drive home so it sat in the car for a bit, even after the reheat it was good. I got my mom the whiting platter and even she (my mother) didn't complain. Try them out, before they move on to bigger and better things.

From the owner: Come out to the newest lounge in Germantown, great atmosphere, great food.read more

Went here this past Saturday for a fish fry…read more Parking: Residential Street and there's hardly any parking. Pack patience. Ambiance: ok. Service: The manager, a short woman with long weave, wasn't very nice. We waited a while before we were served our overpriced drinks. Food: The fish tasted fishy and was fried too hard for me. They had a DJ. I didn't see a jukebox. They had a pool table in the back. Overall, it wasn't a memorable time, coupled with poor parking, I doubt I would go back.

The fried wing dings were literally some of the best fried chicken I ever ate. I'm not sure who's in that kitchen but I need to taste what else they make.

This place is a scam. The bouncer at the front had an attitude. The lady who takes the money for…read moreadmission had an attitude, and it really wasn't necessary, considering we were coming in with great and friendly moods. After coming in, we found out that only the bottom level was open, which is a hookah lounge, not a club. After 5-10 minutes we asked an employee how to get to the other rooms and he told us the 2nd floor was booked for a private event, so we couldn't go. A manager told us they're playing "'Mexican Music" and that if we wanted to go to the second floor we'd have to pay another admission price in addition to the $20 we'd already paid each. Plus no reentry. Not sure why they have people paying full price for only the hookah lounge to be available, but I just know I will never be coming here again.

Full disclosure: I first learned about Alamodak from a Yelp Elite Squad event (thank you to our CM…read moreMegan C!), and apparently I'm more recognizable than I thought. Shortly after we arrived Francisco recognized me and greeted me like an old friend, which was really lovely, but also. my cover is blown. I don't advertise that I'm a Yelp reviewer because I want to avoid getting a different experience. SO The food was fabulous. I took a couple of my friends from out of town there for dinner one night. Well, one is from Pennsauken so I don't think that's super out of town. My other friend was from western Massachusetts. We ordered: Freshly Squeezed Lemonade with mint - very refreshing, not cloyingly sweet. Labneh with zatar and pomegranates. We almost licked the plate clean. This was a huge huge hit. Harira soup, also a huge hit. One of us got the lentil soup instead, which was also good, but the Harira was the star. We got a family sampler of hummus, baba ghanoug, tabbouleh, one other thing. It was very good, we were already starting to get full. Uh oh. Then to the entrees. One of us got the Tomato Kufta, the other got the Kufta with Tahini so we could compare. Both were great, I liked the tomato kufta slightly better. I can't remember what the third entree was, my guest was already so full he basically took it home, and told me later how it was good even a day later. Lastly, mint tea, Jordanian style, with a little jar of honey, and then baklava, which was great, not too sweet, crunchy and soft, just yum. Service was great, please see disclosure above, though. I doubt anyone else's experience would be different. The restaurant was warm and inviting in its' decor. We didn't go upstairs to the hookah lounge. Don't let the exterior fool you, inside it's comfy and welcoming. Parking...it's PHILLY. Street. If you can't parallel park your car in a spot 8" longer than it, take Uber, people. If I, who despises driving to the city, particularly sections that were built before cars existed, will do this, then you know it's a good place to eat. Also, I can get my car in a parallel spot 8" longer than my car. I am, after all, still a Philly girl, living in the 'burbs.

This review is for delivery only. I've ordered from Top…read moreNotch twice. The first platter was oxtails, cabbage and candied yams. The oxtails were delicious! Nice and meaty, very tender and flavorful. I'd give them 9/10. Cabbage was seasoned well. They get 8/10. Candied yams were delicious. Would definitely get them again! They get 10/10. Needless to say, I enjoyed my meal. I had enough for another meal the next day. The second time I ordered the Fried Chicken platter with candied yams, Mac and cheese and a side of collared greens. The fried chicken was just ok. It tasted like it wasn't freshly made and not seasoned. Maybe sitting around for a few hours. The chicken gets 6/10. The Collared greens were surprisingly good, with a mild taste of vinegar to give it a little kick. They were well seasoned and tender. The collars get 9/10. The Mac and cheese was just ok (if u don't know what good mac and cheese taste like.) The mac and cheese gets a 5/10. A little dry and not cheesey at all. Needless to say the yams were yamming again. Always my favorite, they get a 10! The delivery was fast and the food came hot and wrapped well to avoid spillage. The prices for a platter, range about $14-25 dollars with 2 sides. Any additional sides are $5. No real complaints. I love that they are pretty generous with the portions they give you. I would definitely order from Top Notch again. Probably try something different to go with my candied yams :)

Aside from the food being delicious and the portion sizes being huge, the price is the best I've encountered. One large platter with three sides for $15! Unheard of compared to other places I've been to. The fact that they're open till 2am is also a huge plus for me. There's no sitdown seating so it's worth noting that this spot is takeout only.
