Cafe La Maude in Philadelphia - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

When I tell you there's no better place to start your day than at CLM! I've had so many things from the menu. This time I manged to capture a photo because normally I'm too busy eating. Our server Toni, gets 5 starts on his own. He knows when to chat a little but keep it going. I don't live in PA anymore but this was my first stop from thr airport. Now headed to Highland Orchards!

2019: Great brunch spot, great coffee, great food and very warm customer service. Highly recommend! 2024: still so so good! Their coffee is great. Food is so delectable and flavorful - much more than many other brunch places. And still confirmed halal options. Still amazing customer service and might I add very attentive and accommodating. I wish for them to be in business forever.

I went here with my boyfriend for a cute little anniversary brunch and we definitely got way more than we bargained for! The atmosphere was so chill, comfortable, and relaxing. The food was flavorful and well made. We even received a complementary humus platter from the chef which tasted like the ingredients came from a fresh garden they had out back lol. The drinks we ordered were great too. I had an iced chai tea latte and my boyfriend had fresh squeezed pineapple-mango juice, which I almost finished myself. We went on a Monday afternoon so it wasn’t busy or crowded, but the volume started to pick as we were leaving, so we seemed to have perfect timing!

The best $76 I have ever spent on brunch (for me and my gf). I definitely would come back just to try the Shawarma again.

My second time here and the food is amazing!!! But what really was above and beyond was the kindness of the owner and all the employees … we went with three moms and babies and I have never felt more welcome and appreciated! The staff carried out of our strollers in and out for us. And spoke so kindly to us and our children. 10/10 recommend

Absolutely delicious! Could pick anything on the menu and it would be 10/10, but the chai tea latte has to be the best I’ve ever had. Love this local family owned restaurant

Little bit loudly, not much space to sit. Service was good, serve really fast and everything what we ordered taste very delicious.

The vibe, the staff, the food, the ambiance! Everything is amazing about this place. My friends and I were an hour early for our appointment in Philly and so we decided to have brunch first and saw this restaurant through Google search! It was definitely worth it and indeed a best spot for brunch!

Loud, way overpriced diner food.

I was quite disappointed in this place, although it had decent reviews. This place does not care about you as a customer; they care about the number of people they can get in and out. The fried cauliflower, which came out cold and soaked in oil, clearly represents that. If I’m getting old fried cauliflower, what else is given the same treatment in the kitchen? The seats are tight; you’re basically sitting shoulder to shoulder with other customers. A server is frequently serving others next to you, reaching over you, which makes it quite hard to even enjoy your meal. After finishing the bland “food,” our plates were immediately taken away, and the check was handed to us without asking if there was anything else we needed. It’s crazy to push people out when there were clearly other tables still available. I will not be going back and will not be recommending this place to anyone either. It’s not worth your money! But you’re more than welcome to try it; I will not stop you. You’re just a number to them. This place is the definition of when people say it’s all about the location. I think the spot is popular because of the neighborhood, but trust me, there are other places that are much better. Honey’s next door at least has good-tasting food. Alternatives are: Honey's Sit 'n Eat (right next door) Morning Glory Diner (South Philly) OWL Breakfast & Lunch (Broad & Cecil) Trust me, you won’t regret going to any of these places.

Food is so fresh ! Servers were friendly and helpful

Loved this place (the back room seating is lovely- front gets a little noisy). Wonderful service and halal options! Excellent coffee too!

The baklava pancakes and brisket huevos rancheros were delicious and staff is fast and very friendly! Highly recommend!

Came here after trying to go to Honey's down the street (we were not welcomed there AT all 🙄). Food was amazing. I got the classic Benedict with salmon - expected to eat half but accidentally hoovered the whole thing. Then my friend talked me into sharing the baklawa pancakes... Expected to eat half but again, the whole thing disappeared. So curious! Anyway, delicious food, great service, and very nice outdoor seating. 10/10 would try again.

Food was really good and I love the presentation. I had the stuffed French toast and it was delicious. They cooked my medium well eggs to perfection. I enjoyed their pineapple-mango juice so much I ordered one to go.

Their food is excellent. Good service. Seating inside is a little tight. We enjoyed their outside dining even though it was a bit warm.

I visited this place yesterday because Google listed it as a top brunch spot, and I wanted to share my experience. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. The interior was too loud, so I decided to sit outside, but there were too many flies. The staff wasn’t rude, but they also weren’t particularly professional. The food arrived quickly, which was surprising since it was almost closing time. I ordered the Petit Steak, but it didn’t match the positive reviews I had read. I also had the red velvet waffles; the top was good, but the bottom was too hard and the ladyfingers weren’t fresh. The price was reasonable considering the service and food. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or to have a memorable dining experience. The vibe was more like an old diner.

We asked for a table for 2 and were received with a ‘NO i don’t have a table inside’. We should have probably left at that point. We were happy to sit outside which we did pretty much immediately as it was available. The table was filthy, the silverware or my phone stuck to the table every time i put them down so I asked them to clean the table but he did such a poor job, I had to clean it myself and even when they saw me do it, they let me. Now I thought the food would make up for it. My the Mediterranean platter was just pathetic. The tomatoes, cucumbers, haloumi, and scrambled eggs were dried out. The hummus was tasteless. They poured out the unfinished water cups right next to us so it was just generally sloppy. Imagine how sloppy they are in the kitchen. Only the pita was good. The coffee was very good. The toilet was clean. Would I pay to eat here again? No.

We made a stop in this cafe on our way to our accommodation. The service was amazing. They let us have our luggages in their garage next to the cafe so our stuff doesn’t get stolen. They showed us their instagram - Cafe la Maude- so we had an easier way to make decision on what to get. The food was delicious and it looked stunning. Overall we had a very pleasant experience :)

I went today with a friend, we had high expectations, the waitress was so rude and unprofessional, he didn’t say hi to us, he throw the spoons, the knife and the menus on the table, we were in shock, the ice of the cake was when he didn't ask us what kind of water we would like, he came with 2 dirty glasses of water, we had enough, we leave, we felt so bad like we were there for free, never again.

Perfect city vibe. No alcohol but you can bring your own champagne for mimosas. Only coffee and juice. Food was delicious and different.

The service was fast & waiters were attentive. This was our first time dining here, & I can see why it has such a high rating. Everything was good, priced reasonably, & good portions. Definitely will be a returning customer.

came for brunch on a sunday ~1pm with 1 friend. was super excited to come here but was nervous bc ive heard abt long waits. thankfully, the wait was only 10-15 min. for a small place, they really make use of the seating area. it feels a bit crowded but they make it work! got the baklawa pancakes and shawarma + they paired beautifully btwn hitting the sweet + savory balance for brunch. food was fairly quick, loved loved the pancakes + just had an overall excellent time. def unique brunch options!

Really nice little hidden gem. The food was excellent, fresh, great portion sizes and the service was quick. We got the juevos rancheros and the Mediterranean platter for brunch.

Love it here! Best brunch in Philly! Cauliflower is soooo good!! One of my favorites 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great service and food was amazing especially the tiramisu pancakes and baklava French toast. Red shakshuka was okay.

Excellent food! Initially when I saw the price, especially for the green shakshuka, I was skeptical and was wondering if the price would be worth it. The answer was a definite yes, as every dish I have tried was on point, and my friends have said the same. I ordered the chicken cordon bleu, which was similar to chicken and waffles with some brown butter syrup to elevate the flavor. I would recommend having a bite of the waffles with the chicken, the turkey bacon (or ham), and the syrup altogether, as otherwise the waffles could be a bit dry. The green shakshuka was also very good, with a very strong tomatillo flavor that naturally enhanced the quality. The tahini sauce was also evident in elevating the flavor. Overall a very pleasant experience! We had to wait for quite a while, almost 30 minutes during Sunday lunch time, and it was very worth it. The worker was very good at intentionally remembering our faces and ensuring we were within proximity when it was close to our turn. We sat outdoors and there were quite a few flies, which didn't bother us, but I thought I might as well bring it up for people to know. It was not the restaurant's fault!

Food was fantastic. Had the salad and omlette. Everything was great. When We were there, staff were more interested in talking to each other than helping us. But when they did, they were nice

The first time I came here, a short waiter made me unhappy. We were 2 adults and 2 children and ordered 3 meals. He asked why we only ordered 3 meals for 4 people. If you are not enough, you can’t order later. His attitude was very unfriendly

Gabbi, Micki, and Flori were absolutely fantastic and created a welcoming and friendly vibe for every diner. He remembers his guests, says goodbye when they leave, and leaves you with such a feeling of comfort that you're already making plans to come back.

Great healthy food. Best item Dirty Chai and Shwarma.

I love their petite steak. It is the only thing I order because it is that good. The weekends are always super busy and you may have to wait, but it is definitely worth it. If you'd like to avoid the wait, especially on a weekend, I recommend getting there before 10am.

Chicken sandwiches are our favorite! I'd say their hummus is a must-try too. The pita and baguette weren't as great as I'd expected, though, so I think they could improve on those. Other than that, I'd rate it a 4 out of 5.

Cafe La maude is a great brunch place. I highly recommend the open-faced Mediterranean burrito.

Went here on Sunday, 7/28 for brunch. I had the short rib egg Benedict. OMG excellent choice. And he had the petite steak with eggs over easy. We both cleaned our plates. We will be back

Now this was something different. My neice recommended this place for brunch, we got there pretty late ( 2:30) They close at 4 but nonetheless the service was awesome! The food is French -Lebanese inspired. Every dish we ordered, I tried and it was so good!

A well oiled machine staff is attentive in every way and super efficient. The food is amazing.

If you leave here hungry it's your own fault. Absolutely delicious, inspiring foods to tantalize your tastebuds. Very fresh and well plated entrees and salad combos served by friendly staff. We came right from airport with family member who was just delighted with Cafe La Maude's great menu selection of Lebanese inspired creations and excellent house coffee and latte, too. Selections included: Kale chopped salad, Mediterranean platter and Shawarma. We ate like royalty and had food to bring home. The only point was marinated beef was very strong with cinnamon that overpowered other spices. Otherwise, else was perfect. If I lived in Philly I'd dine here often as it's that good! Plus all the employees appear happy & cheerful which makes the entire restaurant an uplifting experience. Bravo Cafe La Maude! See you soon. The location is on 4th St which is narrow. Parking is a premium in this residential area. Be prepared to walk a block or so. Credit & cash accepted. Open 8am-4pm. No reservations taken. Uneven sidewalk on 4th. Disabled person would need direct drop-off at front door and assistance over curb.

Hard to get a table here but love when we can. Food is always incredible and service is straight forward. Can’t recommend this place enough. Small, great food, in and out without issue. Worth the wait but go on a weekday for a guaranteed table.

The only problem you’re going to have is regretting that you can’t order everything off the menu. Great quality food and service, would recommend to anyone looking for a delicious breakfast in the Philly area.

Pretty good Mediterranean style brunch food. Can be hard to get a table, but the service is quick and friendly. Try the green and red shakshouka it's delicious. The coffee was okay. The inside ambiance was nice but a bit rambunctious. Overall a good brunch, would recommend.

This place was awesome! I knew I was in for a surprise when I read the menu. I can’t wait to comeback and try out some items!

Cafe La Maude is a great breakfast experience! I ordered the Red Shaksuka and it was amazing! The flavor was definitely there and food was amazing! The service is quality and they really know how to run their operation. You have to put your name on the waitlist in person and they call your name at the front door so be prepared to wait or grab coffee while you wait, but either way, the food is worth it!

Great food, great service. Felt very welcoming and everyone was extremely nice

A bit surprised at the experience as a whole. You will be bumping elbows with strangers on both sides. You cannot even turn to look at the server when ordering. It was extremely loud as well and food just okay.

Decided to try this place on a whim - lives up to hype as a best breakfast spot in Philly on Google. Shakshuka and chai were awesome. Staff were kind to let me in before 8 to have a seat. Great experience!

You'll find traditional American breakfast items alongside Mediterranean options. The French toast is fantastic! I'm not even a French toast person, but I found this to be delectable! The bananas were cooked and caramelized, making it feel like one of my favorite desserts Bananas Foster!

Will definitely be coming back!!!

I cannot say enough I’m about how fabulous this place was. We came here for breakfast based on on the reviews and hands-down. It was one of the best meals I ate the entire time I was in the city. Everything was so fresh and delicious and I know this is one of those places I’m going to crave now that I’m home and I don’t have it near me!

One of the best and most unique breakfast food experience I have had. A blend of French, American, and Mediterranean food. Ordered the short rib Benedict expecting a normal Benedict but what came was something much more delightful and flavorful than I could have imagined. Also, fantastic and quick service. Highly recommend!!!

I wish to change the policy of restaurants and cafes regarding tipping, as your service is based on your tip, and this is bad

Wonderful place to enjoy a brunch, delicious food and the best attention

We walked into this nice little place my wife picked out to go to and said it was a top pick of hers. So we walk on to the mid noise level place, and the owner, Gabi greets us as we walk in. And asked us if we want to sit in the front or back of the restaurant. we picked a spot out front in a full house restaurant at 2 pm. after lunch on a Friday! I was so excited to feel the vibe in the place while writing my review. We went with the Shakshuka with veggies and goat cheese. That was a mouth full of Mediterranean flavors! So delicious! We followed up with the Berrylicious Pain Perdu. We could not decide on the Mascapon or the Nutella, so we went with both. 0MG, a must try! better than dessert but a place where you can really enjoy a meal.

This was amazing. The Shawarma and Red Velvet Tiramisu Pancakes were to die for!

The only downside: a little bit pricy if considering the portion (for meat dish.) Everything else: delicious food, and kind staff! I came for the 💗🥞Baklawa pancake and yessss it was fluffy and soft with unique flavors. Cream and banana were layered in between with rose flavor. The whole thing was rich, creamy, and lovely. I was alone but I finished it.. The red shakshuka was good, but nothing really impressed. Pita was doughy with a thin crispy edge. Sausage was chopped, flavored but only a little. But the sauce all over was rich. For me, this was more like a healthy option rather than a feast.

Food was amazing, the delicious and unexpected ingredient combinations blew us away.

Food was amazing! Service was also super fast. If I lived closer, I’d come here all the time. It is a little busy and loud, but only because it’s delicious and people are enjoying their time! Got the Brisket Huevos Rancheros and there was nothing I didn’t like on the plate!

I don't know how else to say this so I will just say it...this is by far the best restaurant in Philadelphia! I am a born and rasied Philly girl who has eaten my way around this city for years, I can assure you this place takes it to a whole new level. I am completely hooked after only one experience. The food, the staff, and everything inbetween is top notch. I am forever hooked!

The best brunch spot in Philly. The Mediterranean burrito is an excellent option for Vegetarians along with the granola parfait. The salads are great too. Can usually get a table quickly during the week as well.

The staff is super friendly. The food is very flavorful, beautifully plated and well portioned. The place is narrow and the tables are very close together, paint could use some touch ups.

Never had a disappointing meal here. Only downside is that the space is tight and the tables are tiny. There isn't space for all your stuff. Go early, before 9 if you don't want to wait for a table.

I've been here four times, and their food is never failed to disappoint.

Probably the best brunch I’ve ever had, I got the short rib benny and it tasted absolutely amazing. Their lattes are good too

I’ve been here twice and the food and service is top notch. I got the fish tacos this time and the combination between the fish, cabbage and spreads was phenomenal! A great neighborhood spot, you really can’t go wrong.

Always a 11/10 experience. The brunch is some of the best in Philly!

Great Syrian/French Cafe serving amazing classic breakfast and brunch dishes with middle eastern and French twist. Highly recommend shakshuka, cheese steak omelet. Red velvet pancakes and the very berry French toast!

This place is amazing! The owner is fantastic and the food is so creative and delicious! Baklava pancake and red velvet tiramisu pancake were awesome - highly recommend either or both of these if you’re craving a sweet dish. Not “sickening” sweet though and simply flavorful! The red and green shashuka were packed with flavor as well and very tasty. This place is ALWAYS busy so just make sure you plan accordingly as you will have to wait (there are no reservations). That’s the only downside but worth the wait.

was lucky enough to get a table for brunch here! everything was delicious :)

The food was amazing. The hot chocolate was so delicious.

Excellent food and service ... 100% recommended

Service 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 Hire normal people to work

Brunch was great, really enjoyed the Med Platter and side of sausage crumble. Staff was quick all around and very nice. Inside is definitely loud and tight though.

Let me tell you something. Wonderful experience. Food? Spectacular. Staff? Kind and beautiful. After extensive thought and indecisiveness, I ordered the green shakshuka and a mango/pineapple juice. Food was mhhhhhhh so gooooooood. The dish included many of my favorite ingredients; sweet potato, goat cheese, green tomatoes, cauliflower, tahini. All the flavors complimented each other so nicely and everything made sense. Very filling too, definitely worth the price. We were only visiting Philly for the weekend, but would definitely come back to try every item on menu!

My visit to Cafe La Maude was an absolute delight, offering a charming atmosphere, delicious cuisine, and exceptional service that exceeded all expectations. Nestled in the heart of Philadelphia, this cozy cafe captures the essence of French-Lebanese cuisine with its eclectic menu and warm hospitality.

Cool spot. Pros: Delicious, great service, never had an issue. Cons: Parking isn't the best, a bit pricey for brunch (but you get what you pay for). Get the Shakshuka.

Food was very average, I would even say slightly below. Most of the items are overpriced. Ok service

This is place is worth the hype!!! The food was delightful tasty! I will be returning!

Although my food looked good, it was different and SUPER SWEET! (Pancakes, strawberry cream cheese, whipped cream, and some sweet yellow drizzle) Sugar overload! The textures threw me off as well. It was not nasty at all, just not what I was expecting. I'm a buttery pancake type of girl and butter was non existent. The juice and water was served with no ice at all. Who drinks warm juice?? If you go here, show up extra early or you will have to wait. The male waiter was really cool and attentive. I told him I was allergic to bananas and he asked if I was allergic or just didn't like them. Again, he was super cool. It was the follow-up female waitress who seemed to be rushing us and we barely touched our food. As my bff and I talked & ate, she kept reaching and rushing us. I honestly wanted to ask her if it was alright if we ate our food in peace. Atmosphere, whewwww! Very clean but talk about sensory overload. You have a crowded place, with all different conversations, along with music playing. You will barely hear your conversation. Your table will also be super close to the next party. If you extend your arm out, trust me, you will touch the next party over from you.

Hands down some of the best Mediterranean food I've ever had in the city. Absolutely delicious and it was clearly made fresh! The Shawarma is incredible. The chai latte hit the spot as well. The staff were really friendly and welcoming which made the experience that much better. Can't recommend this place enough! Update : still amazing. Don't skip out on this spot !

Surprisingly amazing hospitality as we walked up without a reservation to see if they could accommodate. We got there at 10:30am just before they got crazy busy over the weekend and were sat right away. The vegan shakshuka and the blueberry pancakes were amazing. We came with our 2 hour year old and they had a high chair they were happy to provide. Our stroller was put in the garage next door and quickly provided when it was time to go. Loved this place ❤️

It was our second time here. We had the shawerma, baklava pancake, and green shakshuka. All of them turned out great. Highly recommended

Excellent fast & friendly service! Food was uneven — I had the omelet, my date had the tiramisu pancakes. Portions were generous. The weakest part of my meal was the sausage links. It would also be nice to be able to choose multigrain bread. Lastly, I despise plastic straws. I don’t understand how people can still be ok with single-use plastics. At least give me the choice!

So great with a group of 7 on Mother’s Day (not easy for a busy restaurant)!

Went for my birthday, early morning on a Tuesday. Sat alone in the back for some peace and quiet, apparently they forgot about me because nobody came to serve me. Stood up and left after a while.

Wonderful food and a very welcoming atmosphere.

Cute spot. Seemed very popular. A local gem. Food was delish. Manager was very kind and friendly.

Hands down my favorite breakfast place in Philly.

This review is really to remind myself of this experience and not waste my time in the future. I rarely disagree so hard with a rating like this, but this is why I need to write it down! Woke up early and was like: oh sht! We should finally try that place with the insane line. Without brushing teeth, we dashed out the door and made it before the rush (9:50am on an April Sunday). tl;dr — Lots of hype. The food was waaaay expensive ($20-$22 per brunch entree) for the quality and portion. Not at all on par with Philly standards: Middle Child, Front Street Cafe, Sofi’s Corner, Cafe Lift, honey’s sit n eat (next door), etc. all of these cheaper than La Maude. I got the huevos rancheros and my partner got the open face Mediterranean burrito. Both were so surprisingly weak in terms of presentation and taste. Huevos Rancheros - they separate out the components of the huevos so you’re eating each part in isolation (or you mix it yourself but the balance of ingredients is off anyway). It’s served on a 10 or 12 inch plate and you get 2 dollop of guacamole with home made Doritos, a room temp watery bean soup?, 4 triangles of brisket quesadilla, and a few slices of fries that propped up the sunny side eggs. All the components were different temperatures, ranging from slightly cold to a warm egg. Such a confusing dish. I felt like I was eating a bunch lunchable. The open faced burrito was poorly composed as well. All ingredients organized weirdly on the plate with a whole cup of pico de gallo on the side, then the warm components piled up: pita, beans, green rice, eggs and guacamole in that order. The balance was just wrong. (Very little beans, too much salsa). But it just looks like a mound on a plate. Like you got in line at a cafeteria and the lunch lady plopped them all on your plate. A bowl would have made a lot more sense, esp because one of the best parts of a burrito is having the flavors melt together. My partner was initially confused as the rice and guacamole looked the same. He thought he was about to eat a pound of guacamole. Even with the weirdness of the compositions, if the dishes were made with high quality ingredients or fresh baked pita, and interesting flavors, we’d give it some love. But it really felt like they went to Giant and just plopped things on a plate and charged us $22. Coffee was burnt (ordered black, then had to cut it with cream and sugar). Cappuccino was fine, on par with a typical coffee shop. Service was also rushed and a little rude. The guy visibly rolled his eyes when I asked him about the 3 different kinds of potato sides on the menu with all similar names. They clearly get a lot of volume and try to turn you over as fast as possible and are impatient. We were in and out in about 30 min even with eating slow. The food came out within 5 min of us ordering it. We still tipped well, we were still kind to the servers, especially one that presented as non-binary and was being joshed by the manager. Maybe it was an off day and I fully appreciate that people are working hard, but man, just a little effort in the food and patience with customers would go a long way, esp for those that are arriving before the rush.

Always the first place I think to bring people from out of town. Great food!

Sorry to write a bad review but it is necessary. Went here for brunch after our daughter's college graduation. Host was rude after seating us. We said we would like to order a round of food, then see how much food it was, then order more if necessary. The host sternly advised we could not order again after ordering once, as he "had to turn the table over." Food was barely warm For a city like Philly with several outstanding dining spots, you can do better. This was the worst dining experience in our five years of visiting from out of state. Gets two stars because: food tasted fine, they did re-cook one of our dishes when we said it was lukewarm (thus making us wonder, why couldn't we order another round of food?!) and they let us BYOB.

After reading all good reviews i decided to try this place and TBH it’s not worth the hype. The food was average at best . You can come for the pictures but dont come for the food .

This is one of my favorite cafes in all of Philadelphia. The food has always been delicious. Most recently I was there for breakfast and had the shawarma, the green rice and pita were out of this world good.

Absolutely love everything about it, the food the atmosphere the staff thank you so much for this experience

Always the best service and amazing food. Gabi is the best always keeps the restaurant flowing. We arrived there and there was a long wait but he got us in and accommodate us and everyone that was coming through the door. Always a must when we go to Philly!!!!

Great food and excellent experience. Would highly recommend.

This has to be my absolute favorite brunch spot in Philly. It’s first come first serve, but they usually do a pretty good job at seating you as fast as possible. The food is TO DIE FOR. Anything you get is so tasty.

Cafe La Maude in Philadelphia is a charming spot that blends French and Lebanese culinary traditions into a delightful brunch experience. With a 5-star rating, it’s praised for its flavorful and unique dishes, professional service, and the cozy ambiance that makes the wait worthwhile. The menu offers a mix of healthy options, and while the prices are a bit steep, the quality of the food is exceptional. It’s a place where you can enjoy a leisurely meal and feel the warmth of family history and culture in every bite.

The owner as definitely mastered the business aspect of monetizing well presented low cost carbs and minimizing high priced portions of meat optimized around $20 per meal. There is a true sense of creativity in an attempt to provide novel options from the red velvet pancakes to the shawarma platter. In many cases though it’s hard to see how some of the meals come into their own. The red velvet pancakes came with too much whipped cream muting the intrinsic flavor of the pancakes. The red shackshuka was very runny and the egg was uncooked in parts. These are nitpicks but it’s apparent the business is trying and the wonderful staff deserve some actionable feedback. Chai latte is also a must try!

Good food, service not bad. Wait times long on a weekday afternoon. Went inside to our table after a 40min wait to see a few empty tables inside.
