very knowledgeable and accommodating for celiac!

An upscale take on a typical Israeli hummus and skewers restaurant. You'll share a huge number of veggie apps for the table, with as many refills as you want, and then everyone orders a main dish (which you can also share). We were blown away by the fish, but underwhelmed but the cauliflower. Great attention to allergies and lots of gluten free options. Like the apps, dessert is also included with the main course. We ended up spending surprisingly less than expected.

I was at an event here and they went out of their way to bring me GF apps and point out options.

Was in Philly for two weeks and almost exclusively ate here, since I have Celiac it’s hard to find places that carry gluten free. Food was always great and the customer experience was great. Definitely worth a trip even if it’s just for a shake.

Brunch was fantastic! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent—seriously, my servers (yes, multiple!) were amazing. They didn’t have gluten-free bread, but there were plenty of other gluten-free options to choose from. Super impressed and would definitely come back!

Abby Mueller

Loved it!! Everything we ordered was amazing especially the steak lamb small plate and the steak frites! Service was great and almost everything could be made gluten free.

Stephanie Slapin

Had the beat salad and octopus at the bar. Service was fantastic. Bartender was attentive and helpful and knew which items were gluten free. Looking forward to going back!

The food is phenomenal- the owner told us how he makes things fresh from scratch every morning and I believe it. It is not a fancy restaurant (not a white tablecloth place) but the staff is attentive, it is spotlessly clean, and the prices beyond reasonable. I’m gluten free and they were helpful in modifying my dinner so I was completely comfortable with it. My husband definitely not gluten free and said the bread was fabulous. I love the variety of customers - students, families, couples. Highly recommend.

Ordered a huge amount of food for a birthday party. They got it together in 45 mins and it was all absolutely delicious, fresh, looked scrumptious. They even whipped up a batch of gluten free falafel for me, on the house. Highly recommended.

5 of us came here while in town. We had the Saltah, Shakshuka, Lamb Kebabs Platter and 2 Shish Taouk Platters. We all LOVED IT! if you’re gluten free, you can eat here. Then we had dessert. The atmosphere is energetic. People were talking and having a good time. Highly recommend.

Great seafood, generous portions, and a welcoming vibe – just a bit off on timing We visited Positano Coast after catching a show at the Arden Theatre, and one thoughtful touch stood out right away: they offer a 10% discount if you show your Arden ticket stub, such a nice incentive for theatergoers looking to continue the evening with a good meal. The food was excellent across the board, especially the seafood dishes, which were clearly made with very fresh ingredients. As someone who requires gluten-free options, I felt well taken care of the staff was knowledgeable and careful about what I could and couldn’t have. That kind of attentiveness is always appreciated and helped me enjoy the night more fully. We started with appetizers, and everyone at the table had high praise for them. A particular highlight was the fried spicy calamari, my husband and kids raved about it. I couldn’t try it myself due to gluten, but it was clearly the star starter. The portion was very generous and perfect for sharing honestly, more than enough for several people to enjoy. When it came to entrées, the portion sizes again impressed us. The lamb chops, ordered by my husband and one of our sons, were perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. I had the salmon, which was flavorful and well-prepared, though it could have been warmer, a detail I suspect was due to some timing issues in the kitchen. That leads to the few small service hiccups: our appetizers didn’t arrive all at once, so some of us were eating while others waited. A side dish also came out quite late, almost as we were finishing our mains, which interrupted the flow of the meal. The atmosphere is stylish yet relaxed, with a lovely view of the city. It’s also very family-friendly, and the staff was welcoming to our kids, making it a great choice for both family dinners and adult nights out. We capped the evening with a dessert, the cheesecake, ordered by my son. It was beautifully presented with delicious sauce accompaniments and perfectly creamy. He and my husband shared it and raved about every bite. A sweet ending to a very enjoyable meal. In summary: Fantastic seafood, gluten-free friendly, and generous portions in a stylish setting. Just a few service timing issues, but still very much worth a return.

Such a Philly Gem! My friend and I had a delightful dinner here on a Saturday. They were able to seat us even though we didn't make reservations. They have so many vegetarian options! The server was so attentive and knowledgable about the menu. They were able to attend to my dietary restrictions. They provided extra cucumbers to make the hummus gluten free! Restaurants like these make Philadelphia special!

Food was Great. Our waitress was Emma, she was great. Honestly I came there for the Breakfast Burritos but to my surprise they only self those during Brunch. I thought this place was a Mexican food Restaurant. But it's medditeranian. So ordered the Gluten free chicken with a side of rice. It was very delicious. I can't complain at all. Also, mimosas are served all day which is a major plus.

The manager Kareem was very helpful Good vegan and gluten free food

Meline Rosales

One of Philly’s best middle eastern spots (Lebanese specifically). I get the gluten free vegetarian platter cause it comes with all my favorites. The tabbouleh is my favorite in the tristate area, hummus and baba ganoush are fantastic as well and freshly made pita is a real plus. Generous portions, fresh ingredients and the service is always 11/10. Today’s wait time was ~25minutes, but in my opinion, it was totally worth it!

Megan

What a wonderful experience. Our waiter was super friendly and knowledgeable about my gluten allergy. The food was very good. We will definitely be coming back!!
