Aya's Cafe - Philadelphia

Super relaxed environment. Server was really nice and accomadating. Lots of vegan options. Nice little candles on table. Really cool music. Nice comfy chairs, dim lighting. And most important- FANTASTIC FOOD. Couscous I love it. First time having Egyptian food and it was delicious. Highly recommend.

It's a pleasant surprise to find this Mediterranean restaurant at the Center City. It's a quick 6 minute walk from Suburban station. We ordered Aya’s taster to share with 4 people as an appetizer: it comes with 4 different hummus, falafel, tzatziki, waraq enab, kalamata and baba ghanough, plus abundant pita bread. We really enjoy it. For the lunch entree, I tried the Seared Almond Crusted Salmon. It's delicious! They also have the best French fries (yes). The service was excellent everyone was well attended to.

Interesting and satisfying food with big portion sizes. Two of us got the $25 three-course meal, which seems like a good deal. I tried the hummus appetizer (OK) and the Moussaka (meaty red sauce with a cheese topping; very good).

Cozy Mediterranean BYOB. Beautiful decor. Went for lunch with a friend but will definitely return for a romantic dinner w/my Honey. Tasty food, ok portions. Great service from our server, Nina. Best lentil soup ever!

Food was delicious. We shared a salad with an extra chicken skewer and each got a lentil soup. They were good to the last drop Atmosphere was fair. Would be better for lunch. I don't get a dinner vibe there.
