  • Innovative
  • Great for brunch
Renata's Kitchen in Philadelphia, PA offers home-style Middle Eastern food. Starters might include Arabian salad, mjadarra or tomato cilantro soup. Then you can move on to a sandwich like the Tuscan chicken or Cubano, or maybe a falafel or kefta maswhii wrap. Although the main focus at Renata's Kitchen is Middle Eastern, you can get fries with your sandwich. If you're looking for something substantial, try the chicken Estambule, lamb mashwii or shakshouka merguez. Vegetarians will appreciate offerings like the mjaddara platter (spiced bulghar and lentils served with Arabian salad). Although you cannot buy alcoholic beverages at Renata's Kitchen, you are welcome to bring your own.

The ambiance Was great until a very loud group of girls took over and we could not hear ourselves talking. We enjoyed the food and we will be back. Also the service was friendly and attentive.

I would definitely recommend it.
