Suraya Restaurant Philadelphia Reviews
Unlimited pita that is freshly baked in an oven compliments
Unlimited pita that is freshly baked in an oven compliments their mezze well. Baba ghanoush was a show stopper, pomegranate was a great add. Lamb kebab was so juicy
The food itself was excellent but the pacing of the courses
The food itself was excellent but the pacing of the courses left much to be desired. We ordered 2 apps, 2 sides, and 2 entrees. They brought out all the apps and the sides well before the entrees. We ate 4 consecutive carb dishes, then 2 protein dish
Whoa Nelly.
What a meal. A LOT of food; they require tasting meal on Friday and Saturday. But everything is delicious. And the staff is first class. Well done.
One of my favorite restaurants in Philadelphia.
I always get the branzino fish. The vibes and service is great. I get chai latte if I am there for brunch or cocktail for dinner
Wow. Excellent in every way. Food, service, atmosphere.

Walked into a lovely storefront and cafe which opened up to an eclectic bar area , open kitchen and a huge dining area. Dan & Elle were our servers and Brittany was the manager who took great care of us. We opted for the lunch tasting menu a
Suraya is, without question, the best Lebanese restaurant
Suraya is, without question, the best Lebanese restaurant I've ever been to--and honestly, the best restaurant in Philly. I've eaten at Zahav, Friday Saturday Sunday, and many of the city's other top spots, but Suraya is on a whole dif
Reservations for Friday evening and sat at the chefs table.
The food and the energy were sensational. Definitely recommend. 10/10.
First time here and met an old friend from out of town.
I've never had Lebanese food so I was unsure of what to expect but WOW it was so good and I can't wait to go back. When I do I will make a resy for outside because while the inside is nice outside is breathtaking. We started with the raw tu
Loved coming back, and decided to sit in the garden.
Its pleasant and relaxed vibe Food is excellent. We had a pistachio drink then red wine with lamb kebbeh and beef wonton type appetizers. We were told it takes a week to prepare the crust that lay on top They were delicately flavored and served with
DO NOT drive here! There is no parking lot anymore.
There is a lot a block away, but DO NOT park there! Though it doesn't say you can't, they will tow you to a desolate ghetto and you might have to Uber there with $235 cash to get your car back, which for us was after midnight (crazy dangero
Excellent food.
Seasoned and prepared fresh. The pita bread is super fresh and delicious . The decor and vibe is excellent. Great service

I honestly think is now my favorite restaurant that I've ever been to. God it was so good, I can't stop thinking about it. We went on a Friday (be sure to get reservations) which means we had to do the Taste of Suraya (required on Fridays a

On a recent day jaunt to Philly, we decided to allocate our one precious lunch to Suraya. The notion of eating fresh maamools, perhaps paired with a simple Lebanese white coffee, in a quiet Fishtown garden sounded quite ideal. The space is indeed be

I'm sad to report that my most recent experience here really was a disappointment compared to my previous visits. I came for lunch, so I'm not sure if that is why it was so different this time. For lunch we decided to try the ful mudammas,
Great Experience
Great experience eating there on a special occasion. The taste, presentation and creativity of their offerings, service, ambience, space were commendable including their bathrooms which smelled like you entered a very expensive hotel. I was surprised
Lovely but not great
Food is very good indeed. Carefully and expertly prepared with bold flavors. The set meal is too much food (and not cheap). We wish we had ordered 2-3 appetizers and 2-3 main courses for four people. The service was hurried and somewhat careless.
Always a winner
A second time visit and they do not disappoint. Great mix of flavors and textures. The wine list is excellent and enjoyed a red from the Bekka Valley.
Lives Up to the Hype
An exceptional dining experience. The service was beyond what was expected - very friendly and attentive - and each dish had a flavor that simply popped. I particularly recommend their Kanafeh for desert. This was my second time here and I'm alr
Don't waste your time or money
Staff are rude and condescending. We were seated and then ignored. The place looks really nice but they treat you like garbage and obviously never service their restrooms. We ended up leaving before we ordered any food. If you like to be ignored and
Feels like you are not in Philly
The ambiance of this restaurant is amazing! We sat at the bar and picked multiple dishes to share, and it cane with warm pita bread. There is a gorgeous outdoor dining area for the warmer months that you can sit under the trees and it feels like you
Mediterranean Feast in Fishtown
Large well laid out Mediterranean style restaurant in Fishtown. Great food and wine choices. Service very good and attentive. Quality of the food was very good.
The rudest staff in the most overpriced place
Went there with my daughter to either reserve a table for lunch for our family of 8 or order a takeout. It was noon; they did not have a table; we were willing to come as late as needed but they close at 2:00. No take out, but we can order from the M
Excellent food and atmosphere. A do-again.
Excellent food. Great staff. We got the branzino, halibut, and short ribs. Drinks were good but can be skipped and do a glass of wine instead. Price is on higher side. Staff was very friendly but they’ll keep you in track timing-wise to get people
Impeccably run operation.
We were impressed from the moment we entered the restaurant. Plenty of waitstaff, lots of space, with a nice quiet atmosphere. And the food! So many choices, great drinks. This place is amazing.
Not nearly worth the price.
Portions are very small and very expensive. And they still charge a flat 3% fee for the kitchen staff. The service is mediocre as well. Another over-priced and unexceptional Philadelphia restaurant.
Good food and good vibes.
Everything felt so fresh and healthy. A great brunch place for anyone visiting Philly!
My new favorite restaurant in Philly.
Get the fatteh!! It's just delicious and a great place for vegetarians as well.

This place was PACKED on a Monday night which is how you know it is both a neighborhood and Philly favorite. Ambiance is similar to your normal trendier restaurant with dim-ish lighting and pretty considerable background noise. There is a kitchen sit

I've been wanting to try Suraya for a while now and I'm so glad I finally did! The restaurant is so beautiful both on the inside and outside. My friends and I sat outdoors and it was so easy to forget that we were still in Philly! For appetizers I t
I hate to say I was a little disappointed by the experience
I hate to say I was a little disappointed by the experience at Suraya. I came with a friend for dinner on Sunday at 5:15pm. Our waiter was super helpful with allergies and recommendations but slowly became less attentive as the restaurant got busier
Very posh, upscale location.
The ambiance was very swanky. We are inside, which was beautiful, but I would have loved to sit outside for the vibes. I really enjoyed the kebabs and potatoes. Ask for Hannah, she was amazing!
Service was terrible.
The menu was limited and the vegetables was not up to par. I went back a second time giving them the benefit of the doubt no change
I lived in Beirut for two years and so I love to support
I lived in Beirut for two years and so I love to support Lebanese and middle eastern cuisine in the area. Ambiance is wonderful and food presentation is beautiful, however $42 a person for a weekend brunch is over the top. Food was fine, standard Leb
One of my top fav spots in Philly.
Wish they would bring back the breakfast yogurt they haven't had since pre covid.
Suraya in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia
The restaurant is located in The Fishtown Section of Philadelphia. I would give the restaurant a 5 out of 5. Food was Lebanese cuisine and the wait staff was fantastic. I had the ALMAZA LEBANESE PILSNER Beer with a MUHAMMARA appetizer. The MUHAMMA
A unique & memorable meal!
I had the most incredible meal at Suraya last weekend and can’t stop thinking about it! Reservations are hard to get and I totally see why - I’m glad my friend and I were able to snag a seat at the bar. We split a few dishes (the muhammara, fatte
The food & wait staff were great.
My son Michael wanted me to try something different for my birthday celebration! Ian our server described everything to the tee. Great bartenders & hostess. Great atmosphere. Food was so delicious and creative ‼
#lebanese #PA #phyli had a great experience in here.
All the food were so yum and delicious :) rec to y'all!
Will return again and again
Phenomenal food. Every single thing we had was delicious, and very accommodating to food restrictions and allergies!
Waiters were very attentive and kind.
We had a big group visiting this restaurant for the first time. Please note that on Friday and Saturday is prex fixe only. For the tasting menu, you already get a lot of the cold mezza dishes, but you can select one more mezza dish per person and

This restaurant has been top-rated in Philly for a while, and for good reason. Great food, great tastes, and great vibes. You walk in, and immediately there is a small marketplace you can buy various items including candles! It can get very busy, but

Excellent food! Loved the pita and all the sides they provide. Lamb sausage was EXCELLENT.
This is one of my favorite places to order lamb.
Definitely recommend making reservations in advance as this is one of the more popular neighborhood restaurants in Fishtown, but it is 200% worth the hype. The garden area is beautiful, but only open during the warmer weather months.

As we are knocking off the top restaurants according to Philadelphia magazine, we hit #2 on the list. We stopped in for the Sunday brunch and seats at the bar to avoid the 20 to 30 minute wait for a table. Selection is limited and service was slow
Suraya is an upscale Lebanese-inspired restaurant.
Ever been to NYC or DC? If so, think ilili. Is Suraya an authentic family style Lebanese food restaurant? No. Is it worth the trip? No doubt about it. We sat at the chef's table and it was a great choice. My friend and I ordered the kawarma, which
Excellent birthday celebration!
Great food, extremely professional service and good drinks made for a great night. We all ordered the special with multiple apps, first courses and mains, and every bite was wonderful, with the one small exception that the two of us who ordered the
Amazing Mediterranean food in FISHTOWN.
We came here on a Monday night without reservations and we were lucky to get a beautiful spot outside . The restaurant is large and tastefully decorated. The cuisine is high end Mediterranean. We tried some new dishes and they were all delicious. Our

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Suraya Restaurant Philadelphia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Suraya Restaurant Philadelphia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Suraya Restaurant Philadelphia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Suraya Restaurant Philadelphia!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
