We stopped by here for a lunch in Philly, and the food was excellent. We ordered the eggplant moussaka, chicken shawarma, branzino whole grilled fish, hawawshi sandwich, and baklava for dessert. Everything we ordered was so flavorful, and the baklava was the best we’ve ever had. We will definitely return to explore other dishes on the menu!
The food is absolutely delicious! Everything we ordered was out of this world amazing and I would highly recommend and eat there again in a heartbeat! The portion sizes were big and enough to split between the two of us. And the service is very good too. The waiters are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!
Cilantro Mediterranean is a comfortable and welcoming environment, in all my time in Philadelphia I have never had food that tasted so authentic to the middle east. The waiters were fast, the cooks were fast, and the atmosphere is amazing.
The food was really good- we ordered the two person platter and it was more than enough for 3 people The meat was super flavorful, the rice was really good too, as was the baklava. They also gave us tea afterwards- it was freshly made and super minty and good. Everyone was also very kind to us and went out of their way to get us a table outside and make us comfortable.
Great family run spot for authentic middle eastern food in Philly. We tried the kofta platter, cilantro sampler and Beef shawerma . Food was tasty and fresh and the service was attentive and friendly. The owners are very nice. I hope to come back many times.
So flavorful, and a dynamic menu that will appeal to all. The mixed grill was a good starter meal since it was all encompassing and generously plated. The warm and kind hospitality is unparalleled!
Wonderful place, tasty authentic food, amazing atmosphere, and lovely owner. You can't ask for more than that.
The food is extremally delicious, everything is clean and properly introduced. Honestly, this is the best food I have ever eat since I came to this beloved country. I can wait to come back again and try a different plates.
Food was great and plentiful with good taste. What makes it 4 stars was the service, or lack thereof. Don't feel it was intended that way, but with some better (attentive) service this place could easily go 5.
Cilantro New Mediterranean was remarkable! The portions were large and reasonably priced! The staff was unbelievably kind and friendly and brought our food out with a smile! (Also remembering who had what in our large group). For anyone on south street looking for some stellar food, look no further than Cilantro New Mediterranean!!!
