Restaurants near Laurel Springs

“Been going here lately and must say that their food is amazing! I love the butter, spicy tikka masala, and karahi ?Only critique i would give is i feel there should be more pieces of chicken in these dishes (not sure if dining in vs takeout makes a difference).”

“I was visiting the area and searched for a good diner and donut shop. This place appeared and I drove to go check it out. I..was..not..disappointed! The owner is sweet and welcoming. She hooked me up with two free donuts and offered a few pointers in regard to the real estate direction of New Jersey. I highly recommend Jack’s Donuts. You will love the breakfast and the sweet goodness of an American classic donut!”

“Great food. Had the special cheesesteak with peppers and it was just a bit too hot for me, so my husband ate the other half and he loved it.They have an amazing lunch special and a very nice happy hour.Nice people and wonderful staff.”

“Imagine my face when I pull in and there's a drive thru!? The better of the local Rita's locations and my usual go-to. BEWARE, though- there is literally no difference between the small and large sundae except for the price. The cup they use, and the amount they give, is the exact same for both, and the girl behind the counter also had no clue why they are considered different. Very dishonest.”

“The food here is absolutely incredible. Just next level sushi that makes you not want to eat sushi from anywhere else. That RICE is just perfect. Also if you're lucky enough to snag a spot at the Omakase then you're in for a REAL treat. :)”

“Definitely the best omakase in Philly!! Quaint bar setting BYOB! Right up close great sushi masters. No special occasion just decided to have sushi with my son. Every course was outstanding! Flavors were amazing. I love seeing the reactions of the other patrons as the eat the courses! Will definitely be back many time hopefully. Well worth the drive great neighborhood ample parking. Beware of the non descript building.At $158 you will be very satisfied with every bite. The ala carte menu has some great add ins priced accordingly 20-38$. They offer hot and cold tea as well as a few soft drinks and water.Parking: Parking down the street metered cash or credit card. Get the appWheelchair accessibility: Same level as street.”

“So lucky to call Herman's my neighborhood coffee spot. There's inside and outside seating, and the market always has something weird and new. Bonus, there are usually Weckerly's ice cream sandwiches in the freezer.”

“We decided to try something new for dinner, we didn't have a reservation which is recommended on a Friday but they were nice enough to accommodate us. The restaurant was lively, friendly and the service was great they were attentive. I've never had Lebanese food but the server explained the tasting menu. Everything was fresh and good, if you like Mediterranean food I'm certain this place is for you. It was a good gastronomic experience. If you are in Collingwood it's a must try.”

“Food and service were great! We went on half price pizza day, which is a big draw for families, so if you don't mind a bunch of screaming kids then this was a great spot for drinks after work with ”

“ZAHAV was an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding all around and the service was on point. We had been trying to get a reservation for 2 years to get in and finally were able to. The ambience and location is also great as well! The highlight of our night aside from the entire experience was meeting Michael Solomonov and being able to just have a conversation for 10 minutes. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone and plan to return again in the future. We chose the lamb shoulder and it was great.”

“Atmosphere and service were A+. We did the tasting menu and maybe that’s where we went wrong. Portions were super small and dishes were okay. I’m not looking for buffet size portions but seldom have I experienced a tasting menu where I was left feeling unsatisfied and wanting more. We’ll probably try one more time and go the entree route.”

“Good place doe breakfast in the middle of town. I had the eggs Benedict and it was very good. Coffee is good too, strong bold and hot. Waiter was friendly and checked with us often.Parking: Parking was very difficult to find. This place is in the middle of downtown around construction etc. Not their fault but something to consider for sure.”

“Definitely the best meal I've had in a while. I sat at the bar and felt welcomed like I was in someone's home. The bartender was attentive but gave us space. I had the ribeye and it was cooked to perfection. Would recommend to a friend and absolutely return.”

“An amazing experience. My sister booked the private room with the wine pairing for our party. The staff was amazing. Chefs Chris and Ryan do an amazing job and our bartender, Aden, was also fantastic. Usually these fancy tasting menus can be pretentious and not that good but the food was delicious and the staff was warm, welcoming, passionate about what they do and everything but pretentious. A wonderful evening, would love to go back.”

“The cocktails and food were delicious!Even on a Thursday there was an energetic vibe with lots of conversation and great fragrances of food.Definitely try the grilled Branzino and garlic butter bruschetta”

“Our favorite place in Philadelphia! The food and drinks are fantastic and the staff feels like family. See you next time Bridget Foy’s!Vegetarian options: Great options for vegetarians!”

“Excellent. Great flavors, lovely presentation. Especially enjoyed the Tortelloni, Parsnip and Smoked potato plates. Good balance of textures and flavors.Fantastic service. Very pleasant and attentive staff.Well done??HIGHLY recommended ??????????Vegetarian options: VeganParking: Recommend parking on Fairmont Ave. 2 hours, no meters”

“Our waitress was phenomenal, and the food was perfect. The stuffed crepe’s texture and richness was amazing. Our rosy chicken was so lovely, the mango spread and truffles were wonderful accompaniment. And the financier for dessert was truly incredible. We will definitely be returning!”

“Decided to go here last minute on a Friday night. Walked in and immediately felt like family. We were greeter by the owner, Luis and chatted with other guests while he was getting our table ready. I had the pork chop with finding potatoes and asparagus and my husband had short ribs with carrots and Farro. Food was beyond excellent. Everything was cooked to perfection. Dessert was also amazing. Can't wait to go back!”

“I went there for Iftar with my friend, and we happened to arrive at the buffet time in Ramadan. The buffet was $50 a person and the food was delicious and there were different Egyptian dishes. Like Béchamel pasta, grape leaves rolls, etc. Overall, I liked the experience and I might come back again.”

“I couldn't speak more highly of Inde Blue. I’ve been a patron of this restaurant for many years at all of their locations and was so excited when they came back to NJ. They have remained consistent in the quality of their food options. My husband and I will continue to frequent them for many years to come.”

“Absolute best bakery in Philly. Local gem run by the coolest/sweetest couple. Best bagels in the city and you can’t go wrong with anything else. Creative dairy and vegan options including the best croissants I’ve had outside of France. Get in line early if you want the goods!Vegetarian options: Amazing vegan selectionWheelchair accessibility: Accessible”

“10/10, we got there 15 minutes late due to heavy rain, no problem at all! My babe booked the 5 course meal in a private wine cellar (it’s only 1 down the basement) very romantic w/rose petals and candle lights, I’m vegan and the chef really threw it down in the kitchen just for me :-) very happy about that, you have to pay in advance and beverages aren’t included, will definitely go back.”

“Walking in, looks like a normal Indian restaurant with the exception of buffet tables. Sitting down, Minnue (our waitress), offered us tap or bottled water. She also made sure to carefully monitor our needs like refilling our water or teas or replacing utensils and plates. She took our orders after explaining our questions on the menu and she even delivered our food in order (appetizer to dishes to desserts). This is so unlike most Indian restaurants that deliver as soon as it's made. This restaurant's spice level matches what south asians can relate to. Medium would be too hot for average Americans and extra spicy would probably be toxic. We ordered medium spice for most of the dishes. Out of the many dishes that were ordered, my favorites include Samosa Chat, Andhra Chicken Kura, and Pista Phimi. Samosa Chat had a kick to it without overwhelming the rest of it's delicious flavors. The Andura Chicken Kura was tangy and succulent. The curry went well with provided rice. The Pista Phimi tasted like a combination of crushed pistachios and condensed milk. Wasn't overly sweet yet every bite was a delight. Definitely in my top 5 desserts ever! This restaurant gives even the best Edison restaurants a run for their money.”

“We had a wonderful experience.  I read an article about its opening  in December and was intrigued, so I made reservations for my birthday in March.We arrived about 20 minutes early for our seating (minimum required is 10 minutes early).  When we entered we were greeted very warmly.  The space is very serene and inviting, soft lights and very intimate. We were invited to have a seat in the lounge area and were each given a lovely complimentary mocktail and encouraged to relax for the short wait until our 8pm seating.We are new to Omakase. The concept and flow was explained to us in detail as well as how certain types of sushi are meant to be enjoyed (i.e., nigiri is a single bite of balanced flavors and you pick it up with your fingers).  The education ahead of time was super helpful. I did not know this. The evening was a beautiful presentation of courses, carefully prepared and explained. Each piece of sushi had a unique flavor, which I believe is due to the high quality of fish and the perfect balance of wasabi and sushi rice.  The fish was so fresh and flavorful and not what you typically experience when you go for sushi, even in upscale establishments. Most of the fish I was trying for the first time  - some from Japan, some from Spain and other regions.  All wonderful!We ordered the sake and whiskey pairing, each drink chosen to match the specific dish. We were given the origin and tasting notes of each, which really helped educate us for the future.  I thought I didn't like sake, but now I have three bottles on my "to purchase" list.The service was very attentive without being intrusive. The front of house staff was knowledgeable and you could tell they truly wanted you to have a wonderful experience.  It was very, genuine - kind people generous in sharing their knowledge.  The chef interacts with you throughout the meal, explaining the ingredients and the preparation process, making the experience educational as well.For us, this experience was about more than just food; it gave us an appreciation for art, tradition, and craftsmanship.  There was a ceremonial aspect to it and I came away feeling like I learned something valuable as well.  We are definitely coming back.  The value for what you receive is excellent.”

“This place is wonderful. A true Testament to survival in Philadelphia. A definite must stop if you're near city hall or the Constitution Center Independence Hall Liberty Bell area. Delicious food nice beer selection safe environment”

“Served by Didi - absolutely devoured the steak fried rice, philly roll and spicy salmon roll. Been coming here for a long time and will continue to do so. Ask to buy the yum yum sauce - it’s made in house and can be bought in larger portions.”

“The menu was so varied--so many choices of vegan food (not just the fake meat variety). We enjoyed the brussels sprouts, beet salad, focaccia, flatbread--all outstanding. We didn't care so much for one pasta dish with sweet potato--pasta a bit dry and chewy and seasoning a bit bland. It was a Saturday evening so quite full and service was uneven probably because of that. The background music was quite loud, particularly the bass line. I could hear to talk but I found the music distracting me from enjoying the food. But I think younger people have a different relationship to monotonous base lines and find it makes the place lively. I was delighted to find another vegan restaurant, just disappointed that the ambience wasn't good for me.”

“Parking: Even when. Rita's had a line around the corner it still didn't affect life? ?Kid-friendliness: Stroll on in.Wheelchair accessibility: Roll on in.”

“The ambiance is very relaxing here and moderately upscale. Decor gives you the feel of being in Cuba. The food was well seasoned. There are not many options if you don't eat pork or seafood, unfortunately. Drinks are a bit overpriced and lack the wow factor, just spring for the lemonade instead.”
