• Mediterranean • Center City

Named after the bird that populates nearly every port along the ancient maritime spice routes, Spice Finch pays homage to a passerine that does not sing, yet is known to vocalize or chirp in recognition of good eats. We are inspired by the distinctive flavors of the nations bordering the Mediterranean Sea, and heavily influenced by the cultures and culinary traditions of Morocco and Greece. Our menu is a bold, seasonally accurate menu featuring an array of small plates, vegetables, grilled meats and fish. Follow us on Instagram @SpiceFinchPhilly

    Sura Indian Bistro is fabulous. The decor is stylish and modern. The waitress was attentive and service was timely. The food was excellent, especially the lamb vindaloo. I like how they rated the spice level from 1-5, with medium (3) level working well for me. We had lemon ginger mocktails which were excellent. Next visit, I will try a cocktail. For the high quality of the food, service, and atmosphere, the prices were reasonable. There is an upstairs area which would be nice for a party. I am already looking forward to a return visit.

    So good ! From start to finish - excellent. Understated and underrated. Service ambiance and good quality all 5 stars. We order one main dish each and a handful of mezze items and sides like beets and basmati rice and fries. The fries were good but not great and out of everything we ordered, happened to be my least favorite. King salmon was my main course and was so delicious and flavorful - there was no stopping me from finishing it. I only recently came here for happy hour and once many years ago for dinner and I have to say, it was great to be back and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend.
