Manayunk Indian Grille

★★★★☆ 4.4 (47)

"I visited on a Tuesday afternoon with a colleague. We came right before lunch hour ended, apparently the restaurant closes from 2:30-3:30. We walked in at 2:15 and we were greeted immediately. We were seated and proceeded to order vegetable samosas, garlic naan, shrimp tikki masala and lamb saag. All of the food came out quickly and piping hot. There were absolutely no complaints from our table about taste, all the spices of the dishes were on point! We're here in Philly for work, but will probably visit this restaurant again to try other things on the menu. The menu is very extensive.The ambiance is quaint and cozy. Also, we were given complimentary honey buns that were delicious. Try them you won't be disappointed."

Fairmount Flavors

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (295) • $

"As the other Yelpers have mentioned, the sweets here are a bit of a splurge. But to me, they're worth it.Personally, I'm addicted to their slammers with lime Italian ice. I'm also a huge fan of their popular gelato custard with vanilla ice cream and mango Italian ice. On a hot day, there's nothing more satisfying than having a smooth, silky, and refreshing vanilla custard ice cream along with the sweet and tangy mango Italian ice. Service here is pretty quick. Even when there's a line, they don't take too long to serve each customer. And since it's a take-out only spot, don't expect to get a seat inside their shop since there isn't one. Fairmount is a beautiful neighborhood with lots of scenic areas to enjoy your icy treats though."

Ice Cave

★★★★★ 4.9 (162) • $

"Went to Ice Cave after lunch one Sunday afternoon and got the matcha Taiwanese shaved ice. It was big enough to share with two other friends :) it was a tasty treat that hit the spot. Great fluffy texture but still very creamy and milky which satisfied my sweet tooth. It included mochi pieces and peanut and chocolate flavored candies. When I ordered I didn't realize there would be toppings and I didn't have the option to choose, but I still enjoyed the toppings that I got. They don't do sit down so make sure to plan ahead since it's getting colder. Luckily there are some nearby parks if you're looking for a place to sit. Really enjoyed Ice Cave! If I were to make a modification, it would be nice to have the option to pick toppings or for it to at least be clear on the menu!"

Southwark Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (255) • $$$

"What an awesome dinner. Southwark had been on the list for a while and we were finally able to go. Perfect night to dig out back in the courtyard. Cocktails are great and clever. Wine list is small but solid and appropriate for the menu. The beef tartare toast appetizer was great, but the grated horseradish was a little too overpowering to appreciate the tartare. The duck was PERFECT. I say that rarely and it was perfect. Enough fat to want to eat the crisp. Little enough that fat wasn't your entire bite. Perfectly cooked. The chive mezze rigatoni was in a fantastic yet simple sauce, you'd want to drink it. The double cheeseburger was solid but the fries really stole the show. Ended the night with the corn soufflé cake which is both the weirdest and most delicious combination of flavors. So impressed with the meal. Can't wait to come back."

Kaplan's New Model Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (71)

"5 starts just for passing the 100-year mark! They must be found something right for that kind of longevity.They bake their bread fresh on site daily. Come here for rye (seeded or not), pumpernickel, challah, or old-fashioned white bread. They also have cookies, Danish, tea biscuits, knishes, coffee cake, and even a few slices of tomato pie.Staff are friendly. Cash is preferred."

Banana Mousse

★★★★☆ 3.5 (34) • $

"I've been wanting to try banana mousse forever, but everytime I drive by there's a long line outside and I finally found out why! The menu was limited but the options were interesting ranging from peanut butter flavors , cinnamon toast crunch to cookies and cream. They sell to-go pints and sundaes, but the owner suggested I get the milkshakes since I was traveling a bit to get them home. She was really sweet, too! I ordered the cinnamon toast crunch milkshake as well as a chocolate milkshake. I'm not the biggest chocolate ice cream person (don't judge me) but theirs was pretty rich! I also did enjoy my cinnamon toast milkshake having actual cereal at the bottom. I might start randomly putting cereal in my icecream to entertain my inner child. The $10 price point was a bit "wow" but overall I'll def be supportive!"

Oteri's Italian Bakery | North 5th St

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (78) • $$

"Got a last minute birthday cheesecake from here. Strawberries on top. It was delivered within a half hour and was pretty good. It wasn't creamy. It seemed more of a mass produced cheesecake type if that makes sense. Think of it as a building material. The best cheesecakes I've had DIDN'T look like a block of sanded wood. A perfectly formed pressure treated board. No, no. They look like OSB planks and when you cut it, it's not clean by any means. This isn't a place I'd get my wife a birthday cake but it's great for a coworker. Cake was less than $15 and we split it 6 ways. So there is some bang for your buck here.Update: I'm changing it to 4 stars I got another last minute birthday cake. Chocolate with "Happy Birthday" written on it. It was delicious. This place really comes through with a quick cake. If you're forgetful and lazy it's perfect for you! I'm both."

The Sweet Life Bakeshop

★★★★★ 4.8 (386) • $$

"I was in town visiting and my friends and I did a day trip to Philly. After have a great lunch I needed to find a place perfect for desserts. I came across The Sweet Life Bakeshop. They certainly lived up to their hype via other reviews. The chocolate cake used for the cupcake was fantastic. I prefer a little more icing than what I had. But, that's preference. My favorite item was the banana pudding! It had the perfect texture! I understand all the rave about it. Service was wonderful and delivered with a smile!"

Carminati Creamery

★★★★★ 4.8 (35)

"You know warmer weather has arrived when thoughts turn to hitting up the nearby ice cream spots. Carminati's is a small independent gelateria in the Keswick Village section of Glenside. It is a hidden gem. Their housemade gelatos and sorbets are superb. I especially love their salted caramel gelato but on a recent visit I passed on that to order a Honeydew Melon sorbet. I had never tried that flavor before and I can only say it was a great choice because it makes for a fruity and tasty sorbetto. Carminati's is usually open from about Thursday to Sunday so if you're in the area on one of those days, seek it out. It is easy to drive right by as it is very small ... but def be on the lookout and you will be pleasantly rewarded when you find it."

City Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.1 (22)

"We were staying in the building next door to City Pizza. The service was fast and friendly. The food was good. Loved the chew of the crust. We ordered a medium pie which easily made 4 servings and a Caesar salad. There was seating inside as well as bistro tables outside."

Senorita's Mexican Taqueria

★★★★☆ 4.1 (95) • $$

"You would pass it if I didn't tell you about it. Right next to the McDonald's on Lancaster, this new space is BYOB but they have horchata... don't sleep! This is a family business and the food is fresh with a ton of flavor. Hearty portions and great churros! The reviews are right, this is the spot. Go and go again. Pleasant friendly service with a smile in a clean open space you can see the kitchen."

Tasty Scoopz

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"I don't know how this place went under the radar! Maybe it's because it's in plain sight but also a team bit hard to get to because it sits kind of off on a corner where there's not much parking except across the street at the Wawa. They do have a small parking lot but it's challenging. Every time I would drive past here there would be a line of people so I waited until the lines were shorter and took my shot. The only thing that was a bit frustrating was how long it took to get service even with just two people in line. Literally like 20 minutes. Maybe a little more. All the ice cream choices were pretty exciting so I did mine sitting there. Just reading the menu. I did like how colorful the place was too. The first time I try a place I always get either cookies and cream or vanilla just to see what the base level is like. The ice cream here is pretty solid. I will say that. They have many other desserts so when I get a chance I will give them another try."

Cafe Clover

★★★★☆ 4.4 (115) • $$

"Bingsu is a must! Really soft snow and perfect amount of sweet for me. Mangos were crazy good, perfectly ripe! Condensed milk on the side so you can adjust sweetness as you wish. Pretty smart. I just wish mochi bits were on top instead of hidden on the bottom though. Plenty of seating and nice, clean interior. Staff were helpful answering our questions."

New Leaf 2 Chinese & Japanese Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (178) • $$

"Very fresh sushi on Main Street. We just moved to the area and were craving sushi! We arrived around 730 on a Friday night and were immediately seated outside. We started with miso soups and a sashimi Tower. The miso soup was decent. We also got the coconut shrimp and edamame. Coconut shrimp was delicious! The edamame was okay. Nothing special. We all ordered a bunch of rolls. Hard to remember which ones but everything was delicious and tasted extremely fresh. We're happy we were outside as inside was hot and very loud. Service was average. We will be back for our sushi cravings!"

The New American Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.2 (88)

"If you're reading this review go here now! Okay, now that I've got your attention let me tell you about one of the BEST dining experiences I've had in Delco. As a Delco native and current Philly resident I can say for sure that delicious dining is few and far between in the Interboro/Ridley area but this place takes the absolute cake. We came here last night to celebrate birthdays and the food was absolutely phenomenal. I mean some of the most complex, delicious, fresh, perfectly cooked, absolutely beautiful flavors I've had in a while. Ordered by my party: Myself - Oysters (so fresh and delicious) & octopus salad special with artichokes, capers, and black olives (see picture) that was huge and charred to absolute perfection - so tenderOthers (all had rave reviews and were HUGE portions) - Chicken parm - I was told the sauce was divine and it definitely needed a box for leftoversSpecial steak and shrimp asian-style pasta dish - I forget the name but the "appetizer" size was ordered and basically came with a whole filet of steak (perfectly cooked btw) and needed a box for leftoversPork belly special with pumpkin ravioli, apples, veggies, and cranberries (my husband now requests that I learn how to make these raviolis as he described they melted in his mouth) Soups - lobster bisque, clam chowder, & mushroom soup (apparently I need to learn to make this, too haha)Dessert - tiramisu & creme brulee cheesecake. The tiramisu was absolute perfection (I stole a bite) and not overly sweet. Creamy and divineI wish I had more characters to write about how absolutely amazing everything was. There wasn't a single dish served that was anything less than stellar. It's BYOB and the prices may seem high but don't be fooled, the portions are so so so big that you'll absolutely have leftovers and the flavors and ingredients make every penny worth spending. I was so pleasantly surprised, deeming myself a bit of a food snob, that I may actually go visit my family more often just as an excuse to come here. Final note: If you have any food allergies/aversions I would suggest asking for the ingredients. While pleasantly surprised and absolutely delighted for the complex flavors/ingredients there were some that ended up on plates that weren't listed on the menu (cranberries & capers for example). I'll be back!"

Jiggy Coffee

★★★★★ 4.9 (74) • $$

"I ordered something called a dirty sesame latte. It was milk, black sesame paste, and a shot of espresso. It was delicious. There's not much seating here, so I'd recommend you get your drink to go like I did since the few c seats were filled on my visit. They were cool about using my travel mug, which I appreciate. The space is simple and focused on serving up good coffee for the neighborhood. I like it."

Chez Hansi

★★★★★ 4.8 (32)

"I am such a fan of mom and pop shops, and Chez Hansi is deserving of recognition. We went during restaurant week and had a lovely time! Must get: lamb, sausage (presentation may not be perfect, but the quality is amazing), crab cake, fresh bread, tiramisuMeh: the butter, the quail (slightly dry)Missed out: ?I recommend bringing cash, a bottle of your favorite beverage and have a great time! Please recognize the staff is limited to one server and one chef, so please be patient and just enjoy yourself.Food: 4 starsPrice: 5 starsService: 4 starsAmbiance: 4 stars"

Martabak Ok

★★★★☆ 4.4 (97) • $$

"First timer and am impressed!!! If their fried tofu isn't the best fried tofu, then I don't know what is. Pancake was good too. Coming from Hong Kong, we have something similar, so it's like reliving my childhood. Not cheap, but the portions are huge. Cannot recommend enough!"

Banana Mousse

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"Been wanting to stop by for some dessert action. They have some tables and chairs outside but none inside. There are two self-serve kiosks that makes ordering super easy and they already have the flavors made up in ready to go containers, so as soon as we ordered, we got our orders and out the door we went. We tried the original, the chocolate and the happy birthday. Both the flavors and the portions were good. I think I personally prefer the magnolia bakery banana pudding flavor profile a tad bit better."

Volpes Water Ice

★★★★☆ 4.3 (9)

"Fantastic Family setting for Waterice and Icecream. The Staff is Super Friendly and the building is very Clean. We had such an Amazing experience here. Easy access off of Bristol Pike with Plenty of parking. The prices are Very reasonable. If you haven't been here, Get here !"

S&P Boba Tea

★★★★★ 4.8 (34)

"Just had to write a review since I've been going to S & Pfor over a year and I see Mr. Wish opening up. I personally feel threatened and victimized by MrWish if they make my favorite Boba place move elsewhere because I don't like Mr. Wish lmaooo. S & P makes some litttttt drinks, fruit and milk tea wise. They also offer milk foam and fancy rainbow drinks you see at Vivi. Plus, drinks here are cheap. Usually my Boba cost 3.80 and I don't need to drive all the way down to Chinatown for decent Boba. If you are deciding between basic b-Mr. Wish and S & P, go to S & P. If you really wanted Mr. Wish, they're literally popping everywhere like a rash."

Pop's Homemade Water Ice

★★★★☆ 4.4 (72) • $

"I had the best water ice of my life at Pop's. It was peach, and it was perfect. Icy cold on a hot day, I didn't mind the brain freeze because it was so good. There were little bits of fresh peach, and it was delicious.Blueberry water ice was good. Husband got a gelati for a cold blueberries-and-cream treat. A small was just $2 and was perfect on a hot afternoon. I can't believe I'd never been here until now.My plan was to try all of the water ice places around the city. But after Pop's, it's going to be hard to go anywhere else."

The Refectory

★★★★☆ 3.8 (98)

"Tucked into Villanova's campus, right off 476, Refectory is your place for a beautiful brunch, lunch or dinner. The ambiance is IT and very well put together. They have booths, tables, and a HUGE bar that I hear have a dope HH. What we snagged:-Mussels with Coconut Curry. (One of the best mussels dishes I've had. Mussels were huge and the sauce was flavorful)-Bronzino (Good, with the orzo. Little over cooked, but fine since the Mrs. is pregnant)-Scallops with Spoetzl (Amazing flavor, wish I had 1-2 more scallops)Overall, we'll be back. This joint is perfect for a quick brunch or even a beautiful anniversary dinner. Our waitress was stellar. She was bartending and serving at the same time!"

Tous Les Jours

★★★★★ 4.6 (20)

"Location was bit random but then inside was spacious and alot of people were in tables surprisingly Well decorated, although breads was not appealing to me compared to Paris baguette, still decent choices We ordered only drinks caramel macchiato and honey lavender macchiato My friend liked caramel macchiato initially but then because of too much milk, it tasted more like milk than coffeeHoney lavender also good but no enough caffeine for me to stay awake We were both full so did not get dessert but i would go back to try pieces of cake Whole cake was $40 in average"

"The hoagies are amazing, really takes me back in the day . Everything so fresh and the please get the seeded roll. I got a corned beef with the works ...They are the real deal. Only thing is I was there for an hour or so . They are getting swamped and they need more hoagie tech'swill be going back for the Italian Tuna and the gourmet Turkey."

Bassetts Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 4.2 (511) • $$

"Best ice cream I've had thus far in Philly. Grabbed a shake on my way to the airport. I have no shame...I finished it by the time I arrived to the terminal. Located inside the Reading Terminal Market, Bassett is family owned and has been in business at this spot for 4 generations, since 1892. There are several options to enjoy, cones, cup, shakes and pints to take home. The staff was helpful with suggestions but I made my own creation. A vanilla shake with chocolate swirls inside and caramel drizzle on top. That was some real tasty goodness. The line moved fairly quick and the atmosphere was great."

More Sugar

★★★★★ 4.7 (91) • $$

"Unassuming from outside: walk too fast and you'll miss it. Inside is nice with a very friendly and welcoming staff. Cash only.Chinatown is getting saturated with dessert options with the same options being offered everywhere. More sugar definitely stands out because they have a very unique menu: charcoal latte, cream boxes and their tofu/burnt durian cheesecakes are few examples. They should call it less sugar (I mean it as a compliment) because all the sweets and lattes are mildly sweet - which is my personal preference so I had thoroughly enjoyed everything here. Got the Charcoal latte (new favorite), Matcha Peach latte, Taro cream box, and Burnt Durian Cheesecake. Everything was delicious but my personal favorite was the burnt durian cheesecake: so unique and contrary to what may seem from the name not heavy at all! Taro cream box was scrumptious and tasted very authentic - not artificial at all and you can tell it is made from actual taro and not a mix/powder (so many do that now)."

Scoop Affles

"Finally got a chance to check this spot out. We weren't disappointed. The place was spotless! The girl who waited on us behind the counter was very courteous and friendly. Also met the owner, Tony, who thanked us for coming. He was a pleasure to speak with. Definitely check this spot out!"

Paleteria Y Neveria La Sorpresa

★★★★★ 4.8 (13)

"This place is clean, bright and the owner who served us is very friendly and accommodating. They have an incredible selection of homemade ice cream and popsicles- some flavors you're familiar with and some that are probably new. You can try samples of everything. This is the same family that owns El Primo - so go there for dinner and come across the street for dessert. Great addition to the area!"

Michael's Water Ice

★★★★★ 4.7 (13) • $

"Some of the best water ice in Philly! I don't live in Philly anymore but this place will forever be on my must-visit list whenever I'm back in town. The gelati is my favorite thing to order.Also, the owner is awesome and always a pleasure to chat with. He really seems to love the local community/neighborhood and getting to know his customers. Great guy."
