Cilantro New Mediterranean

While in Philly for a cousin's wedding, we stumbled upon Cilantro, and what a gem it turned out to be! The food was phenomenal, and the service was exceptional. From the mouthwatering mint tea to the delicious eggplant appetizer and the generous mix grill, every bite was perfection. We left with full bellies, smiles on our faces, and a promise to return on our next Philly visit. To the lucky Philly residents, you've got a culinary treasure nearby – savor it for us!

All kinds of food were great. Especially Kafta Kabab was so good. There’s no any strange smell in lamb. I’ll definitely go one more time if I visit Philly.

The food was good, but very overpriced to me. My husband and I both had one entree and it came up to $100. I wouldn’t have minded paying $100 for it if the environment made me feel like I was dining at a place that would constitute that amount of money. However this place did not provide that type of environment at all. I had to constantly swat flies away from our food because there were so many in the restaurant. Also I had to smash a bug with my shoe because it was crawling on the floor next to me. Also, they don’t bring the check to you, you have to go up to the register and pay like you’re in a lunch hall. Also the portion was not that big. For $100 I would expect to have leftovers. We didn’t even leave feeling very full. Also the inside of the kofta kabab and beef was a little pink and also very chewy so I couldn’t eat it. I don’t know if I would go back. I’d give this place a 3/5. It would be a nice place to grab takeout from if it wasn’t so insanely expensive.

Hubby and i tried this place for the first time. Omg we are so glad we did. Food was amazing. We had the mix grill for 1 and that was enough for the both of us. We even took it home. Wish it had liquor but its all good.

Great restaurant! great food! great customer service! first time and will definitely come back. their plate for one is perfect for a couple where there’s someone that eats a little less and someone that eats a lot lol HIGHLY Recommend their lime juice with fresh mint and the bahklava dessert!!!!!!
