“I know that I write a lot of 5 star reviews but I promise that the prime burger was outstanding. I’m pretty picky about burgers. Usually places will put so much on the burger because the burger has no taste but thisssss was so good. It had a bacon jam on it. What else is there to say.Tyler was our waiter and he was attentive. I have only good things to say about him.The hostess was nice as well.My friend got the falafel and she really enjoyed it as well.The bathroom is great. It has great lighting. The trash can is a the perfect place for when you open the bathroom door with the paper towel you can just throw the towel in the trash. I appreciate that.The aesthetic of the entire place is beautiful. I loved it. Such great colors and the booths are cool too.I will be back 100 timesVegetarian options: Falafel“

“Let me start by saying I love the food at The Halal Guys so much that I ate there pretty much 4/4 nights a week for a year straight after work before trimming it back. I've never done that with any other restaurant. The gentleman I spoke to leaving the restaurant the other night said he drove 40 minutes to come enjoy the food. All of the food is very fresh. They are always cooking fresh chicken and beef. All the veggies are a great addition to the platter along with the fresh rice that is always being replenished. The hummus is very good and when you add the chili based hot sauce and mix it up, it's heaven. For those who can't handle the heat, there's their very popular "white sauce". King of Prussia is always very busy. Please do not let "Bobby Bobby" deter you from going to The Halal guys. He clearly doesn't understand the restaurant business......no crime. Look at his bowl. It has chicken and rice ONLY. Evidently he thinks since he is afraid of eating veggies that the rest of his bowl should be filled with extra meat. Sorry Bobby Bobby; that is not how any restaurant works. This place gives a ton of food. I rarely finish my small bowl and have never ordered a large one. In this business you could have the best product and location but take away top notch customer service and a highly dedicated GM/owner and get ready for your "Grand Closing". Caesar has been the GM at KOP for years now and I've never seen him have a bad day. He always has a smile on his face and treats all of his customers with the utmost respect. His customer service is exceptional. This is extremely rare. How do I know this? 35 years in the restaurant industry. Hail Caesar!!“

“As someone who LOVES Middle Eastern food, I knew that I wanted to check out The Good Gyro. I saw this place for the first time in the New Hope Ferry Market last November, 2023, but was unable to go until this past Tuesday, March 12, 2024. The service was wonderful and the food was good. Specifically, I enjoyed the chicken shawarma platter, and could taste all the rich freshness in every bite. I look forward to returning, as soon as I can.Vegetarian options: The Good Gyro definitely has several vegetarian options.“

“Had the absolute pleasure of dining here with Caelin M as our server, she was extremely knowledgeable of the food menu and extensive wine selection, she was attentive and overall the sweetest human. Truly enjoyed our time here couldn’t have asked for better service!<3“

“We recently enjoyed a lovely family dinner here. The atmosphere was really nice and laid-back, and the waitstaff were super attentive. They even helped us pick out some delicious dishes to try. Sitting out on the terrace on a warm evening was a real treat. While prices are a bit higher compared to other places, we still highly recommend it!“

“Where do I begin? The food is amazing!!! The restaurant is clean. No music is played while you're eating unlike some restaurants. I ordered the lamb kabob, and the potato bolani which both came out hot and tasted magnificent. I will definitely be back here“

“Everything is delicious, but I especially love the stuffed grape leaves and baklava. My parents love the falafel, which is shocking because they never liked it before. Very flavorful and crispy. Staff is friendly, place is very clean, and my order is always right. Great place!“

“There were bunch of mediterranean food places near by where we live at. Had coupleplaces in mind to try from, and for thistime we went ahead with Sama Grill.We ordered chicken shawarma & chicken kebab entrees with side of hummus & tzatziki sauce respectively. The rice had such a subtle flavor , along with the chickenshawarma well cooked topped of with garlic sauce.Their chicken kebabs were pretty amazing , juicy , nice herb flavors , and very light. Hummus was great with Pita bread.Their tzatziki sauce was disappointing , which tasted just like a yoghurt with no such great flavor in it. The hot sauce was not good , either I have mistaken it for hot sauce or it might have been something-else. Either ways I will not try their red sauce personally.We also have tired their Turkish coffee which was an interesting flavor, coffee with cardamom flavor in it. Felt like the cardamom flavor dominated the actual coffee flavor. However it smelled great and tasted decent.Overall after having food at Sama grill it felt very light on stomach given their such subtle balanced herb flavors and well cooked juicy chicken. Glad that we tried out this place.“

“I have never lived in NJ so everytime I want to eat something delicious I drive around an hour to go this place and it is totally worth it .The staff are really nice and I feel comfortable.The place is very clean and quiet.I highly recommend lahmacun.“

“We live in the area and have been here several times. Probably the best vodka rigatoni I’ve ever had. My husband has frequently been disappointed in his meals. The steak always seems to be undercooked and certain dishes lack seasoning and flavor for his liking. I always order the vodka rigatoni so I’m never disappointed it’s literally the best!! Cozy atmosphere too.“

“Not only is the food fantastic and addictive, but the atmosphere is superb. The service is not only classy, it's also very kind. It's obvious that the owners are not only good at business, but all around great people. We are truly blessed to have Judah Grille here in Philadelphia. L'CHAIM !!!!!“

“I just Googled "best food near me" when I was in the area and Da Bistro was the top result. I love Mediterranean food so of course I went to check it out.I was not disappointed in the slightest! I can say I had one of the single most delicious meals of my life! I literally (original definition of literally) got ASMR while eating.I ordered the Grilled Spanish Octopus as an appetizer and Lulya Kebab as an entree. I sample grilled octopus every chance I get and this was the best I've ever had; absolutely fantastic!! My Kebab was also incredible, it came out perfectly cooked and oh so juicy. The sauce that was pair with it complimented it wonderfully!After being blown away with the appetizer and entree I decided I had to try the dessert here as well. I ordered Baklava and once again... wow!The food wasn't the only charm to be had. The service was excellent and the staff very welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere was very pleasant and I found the lighting and music complimentary to the cuisine.I'm definitely coming back when I'm in the area!“

“Freakin AMAZING!!! I love this place gonna stop at the mall just to eat here! This is an amazing experience please give it a try the falafel sandwich on pita is great SOOOO good that I'm getting an order of lamb biryani to go Im told its very spicy so I'm gonna LOVE it cause the hot sauce on the falafel was great too!“

“Absolute gem. Go here now, I mean tonight. Not much to look at as you pull up, but ignore that. Clean and welcoming on the inside.Babaganoush was smoky, silky, fresh and bright on perfectly cooked bread. The mixed grill had a bit of everything from the menu and we loved it all. Meat and vegetables grilled on charcoal and perfectly seasoned. Everyone from the guy that only eats grilled steak to the Indian food afficiando will love this place. Staff was warm and welcoming. In a world of chain restaurants serving poorly cooked processed crap, we need more places like this. Delicious, fresh, healthy food with character. Don't know what you are missing. BYOB.“

“Best seafood I have ever had. My boyfriend and I were beyond satisfied. The portions are more than other places I've been and already come with vegetables.Garlic Butter sauce was the best sauce I've ever had in my life. The service is also very welcoming, they called us themselves to let us know they're out of mussels.Ordering again tonight.“

“I should have looked at the pictures and read the reviews on this, but the gyro platter that came with "fries" was what i was told. I expected a typical gyro sandwich you know folded in a pita with lettuce, onions, tomatoes and tzatziki, side of French fries...this is what I got. Disappointed. Revised ton4 stars only for food taste though, as it was still very tasty. Would have preferred the more traditional sandwich instead of the mess of the deconstructed version.“

“We were there for dinner on Valentine’s Day. The atmosphere was great, loved that we could bring our own wine, and had great service. The filet mignon, Bob’s seafood, bread and dessert were all phenomenal. The only thing we wouldn’t recommend is the lobster bisque. It didn’t quite the hit the mark and had no pieces of actual lobster in it. Everything overall was wonderful though!“

“If you're looking for a delicious and authentic Georgian dining experience, I highly recommend checking out the local Georgian Cuisine restaurant. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the food is simply amazing. The menu is filled with a variety of flavorful dishes, and I can't recommend the khachapuri and khinkali (Georgian dumplings) enough - it's definitely a must-try! Overall, I had a fantastic experience and can't wait to go back again soon.“

“Cozy, intimate restaurant. Chicken parm was very good. Service was excellent. I wanted to try a slice of pizza, which I would have obviously paid for. Our waiter offered each of us, a slice of his own pizza he was going to eat at the end of his night.The pizza was also very good! DeliciousTo the owners- You have hired an exceptional young man. He was cordial, always smiling and was quite accommodating.We will be back!“

“Was visiting and came across this page on instagram. We got the mixed kebab grill since we were 6 people and it was filled with tons of meat (chicken, beef, fish, shrimp), lots of vegetables, fries, and pita bread. Everything tasted really good, was just missing some rice on the side which you would have to order separate. Would definitely come back again!“

“As I'm sure many have mentioned, this place is very aesthetic and the atmosphere is nice, including the music. It would surprise you how many places just play any music now - classic steak houses playing mumble rap. Anyway, we got the chicken fricassee, the Shaffle Waffle, a flavored tea, and the Mirage(dessert) and Medovik(dessert). The tea set was very cute, with a tea light warmer underneath, but I wasn't a fan of the tea - my boyfriend ordered some sort of lemongrass tea. The chicken part of the fricassee itself was great, but the rice was dry, almost like it was reheated from the previous day. A slice of bread to wipe up the remainder of the yummy sauce would've been nice. The waffle was also dry - like they made a big batch and just reheated to serve - which is fine when done correctly but in this instance was tough and chewy - maybe cover it so it remains moist? The desserts were okay, nothing memorable but decent. Portion sizes were on the small side but we were still full by the time the meal was done. I wouldn't mind coming here again with my girls for the experience but it won't be my main spot. The vision is there, it just needs some tweaking.Edit:I changed this from 3 to 4 stars because looking back at other reviews, they handle the negatives with grace and do seem to make efforts to rectify things people have had issues with. One person mentioned that they weren't very attentive, but today they were so it seems to me that they do put the effort in to review themselves and make changes.“

“First time at Canal Street Grille and we were impressed. Good to have a nice local place with great service. Food was good. The place is a square room so everyone’s conversation is heard by everyone, perhaps having background noise or music might help keep some privacy, but will definitely visit again!!“
