   If you are with a group, it probably is a great place. As a single traveler, not so much. I was placed very close to the front door on a very blustery night. The cold that hit me every time the door opened made enjoying a meal difficult. On another note, I thoroughly enjoyed the collared greens and the crab cake was the largest that I have ever had.

   This was my first time here. My daughter was at a Sweet 16 at another restaurant near by and I decided to not go back home. I will be back. I was hoping to see the owner as she and I worked together years ago. The food was excellent.

   I enjoyed my experience here, I would come back to try different items…you gotta get the peri peri wings and cheesesteak beignets! For a main dish I got the beef rib with cheese grits! Rib was nice and tender, grits was a nice substitute for a dish that is usually served with mashed potatoes, the sauce that’s drizzled on the plate was great…next I’m gonna ask for more of that to put on the rib! Sides are big enough to share with the table which is cool…I got the Brussels and the Mac n Cheese. Brussels were good, the Mac let me down a little bit…I’ve seen on social media how creamy and cheesy it can be, but mine on this occasion was a little dry unfortunately! I opted not to have the dorito crust and when it came out it had this nicely baked crust you want on a good baked Mac n cheese but when I broke into it, it wasn’t as creamy or cheesy as I hoped but it was still enjoyable! The vibe and atmosphere is really nice..great music, and a friendly staff! I made a reservation and was seated right away, it did take a little while before someone took our order, but when they came over they apologized and service was great for the rest of the evening!

   The food was amazing! Service was even better, if that’s possible. Jenn and Ezra were the absolute best!! Will definitely be back on my next trip to Philly.

   My husband & I went to Amina to celebrate my birthday. It was an awesome experience. They did not disappoint. Service was excellent. Jen & especially Ezra were great. The food was amazing. My husband was still raving about how delicious the food was a day later. This was our first time and definitely not our last. We will return. This is our new favorite restaurant.

   Excellent food and nice ambience. The lima bean hummus was a revelation. Really loved the waitress. She was wonderful. I just think they probably needed another one working that night for the number of people there. She did the best she could. We waited quite a bit for water and to get our order taken. We will return when we’re in town again.

   The staff was great. The food was also really good. It was a tad cold in the dining room.

   The food was very delicious but a little pricy. The service and atmosphere was very good. The venue is small and reservations are a must. The sides are shareable. Will definitely be back.

    The food and service are both great. Though the ambiance is very nice, it’s too dark to enjoy it! Not only could we not read our menus without flashlights, we could barely see our food. My other comment is that they we felt rushed. Our entrees were served way too soon. We hadn’t had a chance to enjoy our appetizers. Easily changed and if I go back I will ask them not to rush us.
