This place has an excellent happy hour which includes some delicious non-alcoholic cocktails if that's your speed. Sit at the picturesque bar and order a few small plates - the flatbread and the lamb sausage skewer were both excellent, and they do really good fries here as well!

I came twice for restaurant week because I loved it so much the first time! Across the two times I was able to try the blistered peppers, the trio of spreads, chickpea wedges, the whole fish, and the chili chicken kebab. The whole fish and chickpea wedges are spectacular.

It’s a little expensive for the type of food but I’ll probably still be back so I can try the eggplant and cauliflower dishes. The variety of food does make it a good place to come when your group has different dietary restrictions!

Great atmosphere. Went here for our 1 year anniversary vacation and the servers at the bar, and the host treated us wonderfully. Great happy hour food and a peaceful atmosphere.

I Was excited to visit a Top Chef restaurant, I missed the owner by a day. I had the Duck Wings at the servers suggestion. They were OK. I also had the Peri Peri shrimp, again it was OK. The harissa didn't have any real bite to it. I wish I had added a side for a complete meal. Ordered a double of Don Julio Reposada, looked closer to a single. Finished off the night with a brownie, that was tasty.

A little fancy, a little lovely. ️ had a great dinner of shared plates with friends, got to try some new dishes and had shisitos, duck wings, trio of dips, amazing hummus. Can't beat it. Recommend.

Very accommodating from the street entrance; tour around the bar; cozy seating in and beyond the dining room then into the back booth seating area where I landed. This restaurant is attached to the Warwick Hotel Philadelphia and has a good symbiotic relationship. I am welcome and there are many things on the menu I can eat on a limited diet. Beets with yogurt, roasted vegetables with cheese and wheat free flatbread. The staff is kind and thoughtful to patrons needs and will accommodate them. This is a good place to eat. Mediterranean Bar & Kitchen the food savvy friendly folks! [Proximity to another business is interfering with map navigation for this listing _ I have rewritten this text several times. Hopefully it takes…, ]
I will be back, Thanks for having me. Brenda

All in all a pleasant dining experience but nothing I would seek out again. Zero “wow” factor from decor to food. If it’s your first time experimenting with Mediterranean cuisine…it may impress. However, seasoned consumers most likely will have a different option

Main issues were the Lamb overpowering in the clam entree. Whole fish didn’t taste fresh and was not firm in texture (mushy with a hint of chlorine).

Loved my experience at spice finch. One of the few places in Philly that can accommodate a larger group while offering a unique and delicious culinary experience. Had my birthday dinner here with a party of 9 and the service food and wine/cocktails were all fantastic.

A very nice place to go with family and friends. It is good to go with a group who likes to share the items ordered. Being a place of small to large plates you want to taste the different dishes. The lamb ribs and chicken skewer are two must items to try. The spinach kishi is like the Greek spinach pie but better. The trio of dips is a nice item for the table (order extra bread). Servers very helpful with questions.

Disappointing. Was excited to try this menu. Was there for brunch. Restaurant ambiance is nice but perhaps if you know home cooked Mediterranean food, this pales in comparison. Went for brunch. The potatoes were over cooked and the spice was unrecognizable. The lamb sausage also lacked flavor. My friends ordered shatshuka and it was a small cast iron dish which did not look very appetizing. Sent back the beet dish. Oh, and the coffee was not great.

Happy hour food and drinks are great - service was terrible.we ordered a second round 10 minutes before happy hour ended and when we got the bill, were charged full price for the second round.not only did the server ~loudly~ talk rudely about us to other servers behind us when we asked about the bill, the manager came over and doubled down on their “policy” instead of providing any type of real customer service.will not be coming back!

I came here tonight with my partner who has celiac. They had so many options for us, we had an incredible time, and our server Chloë was incredible! Definitely recommend as a must for anyone visiting Philly.:)

This was one of the worst Mediterranean restaurants that I have experienced, it was our first time and the last. We order our mezza with flatbread after we ordered they informed us that they are out of flatbread and they offer us crispy bread it was unbeatable too hard it seems like any leftover bread from the night before they deep fried and serve it as a crispy bread​ in the second day. We order the piri piri shrimp it was way too salty the Persian Rice (Tahdig) ​ ​was too greasy it was a very disappointing experience. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for good Mediterranean food. ​

One of the best meals I’ve had in Philly. Waiter was very knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations. The food was delicious - baked cheese and lamb ribs are everything!

Beautiful space with incredible food. The lamb sausage, tahini brownie, and trio dips were especially memorable. Robin provided exceptional service and delicious recommendations. Feeling very lucky to reside in such a great food city!

Great spot to come here if you are willing to order a bunch of sharable plates. The pistachio cocktail is amazing and well balanced. The eggplant and chicken entrees are recommended, but eggplant can be a bit spicy. The hummus was also really good! Food is a bit on the expensive side though, so the larger the group the better
