    Amazing food, very helpful and knowledgeable staff, great wine choices. Except for the noise level (but we dined there on a Saturday evening during the holiday season so the noise should have been expected), it was a perfect dinner experience. We will be back the next time we visit Philly!

    Taisha is the most wonderful greeter and server. Always makes you feel welcome. This is a beautiful, pretty quiet place for lunch. Food interesting but I always order from the coffee bar, which is delicious.

    This weekend celebrated a milestone birthday. The service, food, music, and ambiance was exceptional! It totally exceeded our expectations. Aiesha, our server, was very attentive and knowledgeable about the Akwaaba history and food/tea selections. This year, we attended tea experiences in NY and DC. The Akwaaba Tea Salon experience was unmatched! I will be back!!
