First food experience in Philadelphia for my vacay. This place was in walking distance from the hotel and we were seated quickly. The seating is limited but the place takes reservations. There is a cozy spot for traditional seating with cushion pillows, a nice setup. Our server was great, she provided some good insight for menu selections. Unfortunately, the restaurant was near closing so most of favorite dishes were sold out. We inquired on the bowl options and the description of chicken with yogurt and then grilled had us sold. The Protein bowl Shish Taouk was excellent! The meal was flavorful, and the portions just right...mmm mmm good. And the pairing with cucumber, lettuce, onion and the hummus base with long rice, everything was delicious. Also got the Tandoor bread. The bread with some hummus, chicken, hot sauce (basically chopped jalapeño peppers and herbs) ...chef's kiss. And then got a Adani Chai tea, a wonderful blend of cinnamon, milk and cloves. It was not too sweet, a great first dining experience for the trip and after a long travel day.
