My Uncle (RIP) always used to go here and tell me about the food. Finally made it for my birthday and it was epic! I loved the ambiance inside. This is a very popular and busy place so strategy with timing is everything. I would likely return closer to 2pm after the brunch rush or before 10:30-11am. The outdoor seating was very comfortable and versatile for different sized parties. The staff was very attentive and they work together as a team so well. The manager (I think) was so cool and gave off great energy. I liked how professional but personable he was - taking time to chat with folks and share his personality. The food was amazing and the portions were reasonable in comparison for the price. I will definitely be going back!

Really great spot for breakfast/brunch! They had a line and I thought we would have to wait long but we didn’t. Eating outside on a beautiful day was a plus but the inside is also cute. The food was delicious and some dishes have a middle eastern flare to them which was so good. I wouldn’t go with a large group, 4-5 max.

One of the best brunch experiences EVER. Starts with excellent staff and service and ends in excellent, over the top, to-die-for food. I typically will not wait long waits at restaurants but I would wait an hour for a table here. This is THE brunch place you have to go to if you are visiting Philadelphia. Should be #1 on every single Philly food blog on brunch.

Absolutely astonishing. After a long flight I popped into here for brunch and was flabbergasted by the flavor of the coffee and the presentation of the food. It’s as beautiful as me when I look in the mirror after a fresh haircut. I got the L’amour pancakes. The taste was on 100 and the service here was top tier. Even the bathroom was nice and tidy. I will definitely be back. Philadelphia is a fire city and this is a fire restaurant. 5 stars!

The brioche French toast is absolutely delightful. On it's own it's a 10/10 and definitely recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth to be craved. As for some of the other options on the menu, I'd say they're more insta worthy than a flavorful experience. Overall the vibe of this establishment is very chill and the service is very attentive. 8/10 but it's being absolutely carried by the immaculate French toast.

Great food and outdoor seating is very good.
Awesome place for brunch and quite popular at that. It's a first come first served service so expect a long waiting time if you are late.
Food spread is huge, drink spread is unique and everything tasted great. No wonder the place is so jampacked all the time. The baklava pancake is out of this world in terms of taste as well as the size. It's huge, too big for even 2 people, so be prepared.

I've been here 8 times.
The wait is very long on weekends, and even on some weekdays. You tell the host your name and he'll write it down and tell you a wait time. The wait has been 40 minutes - 1 hour sometimes.
The seating itself could be better and more comfortable, especially inside. The inside tables are very tight and small and uncomfortable and close proximity to other tables and people.
Staff don't wear masks and are very casual.
The portions for the food are very good, but the dishes are very expensive.
Shawarma - green rice is delicious. The taste of everything together on the dish is much better than expected. A consistent dish I always get.
Orange Juice - Freshly squeezed and delicious.
If it gets busy, they will refuse any takeout orders - downside.
Parking can be tough, try to go on an off day. 1/5 times I was able to get a table without waiting and parking without circling too many times.
Definitely a solid breakfast spot.

This place just wasn’t my cup of tea.
I really like how they had the outdoor seating set up, I was very warm. Warm enough that I could take my jacket off and I was getting hot. Servers were attentive to all customers in the outdoor seating area. When I say all customers, I mean all, those on 2 legs and those with 4.
They allowed dogs inside the outdoor seating area which I had not seen until I ordered my food. Servers were seen petting dogs and then coming to serve you your food. I do not appreciate having to eat a meal in an establishment and have a dog shaking itself, especially in an enclosed area.
I wasn’t overly impressed with my meal. I ordered the eggs, meat, hash brown and pancake/French toast.
