Figs - Philadelphia

Made a reservation for 2 at 8pm Friday night. Told they close at 9pm although hours are different online. But it was fine, worked out for us. Also note, cash only. We came after visiting eastern state penitentiary, 8 min walk. Food was delicious. Not even spicy but still flavorful and very enjoyable. The menu looks so good it's hard to choose because you want to try out more than you can actually eat. Chicken and lamb are halal. We'd also love to come back if/when the filet mignon is halal too. Appetizers: Scallops 6/10 Eggplant lasagna with no pasta 7/10 very good and the cheese excellent but personally would like more mushrooms in it Dinner: Lamb shank 8/10 actually tastes even better than the crab entree but both were very good Crab filet 8/10 Tea also very good. For dessert we had apple cobbler with oat and ice cream, that was ok but not going to rate this restaurant for dessert. Would have liked to try the fig ice cream but it wasn't available. Total with tax 81.87 before tips One issue was that in my case my fork was a better knife than the knife. However for the person I was with they said their knife was very sharp. So maybe it's just one or a few of them. Idk if maybe I should have requested right then to change my knife. Then they'd know to separate it. But not a big deal. Anyway highly recommend to try this place out, but if covid cases going high then I'd suggest to get takeout or go when empty or get outdoor seating if one of very few is available. At the moment there's no restrictions by the state but who knows what may be coming.

I cannot say enough good things about Fig!! I have been wanting to check out this spot for a couple years but didn’t get around to it until last night. Not only is it in a cozy and picturesque part of the neighborhood, the food is immaculate. My boyfriend and I ordered the hot brie cheese as an appetizer, a Fuji apple salad, the lamb shank, and the crab stuffed filet. SO MANY FLAVORS!! The service was also wonderful and it’s BYOB. We are definitely gonna be back since there are many things on the menu we’re dying to try.

Stellar brunch. SO damn good. Most of us got the Moroccan eggs and they were simply amazing. Affordable too! And the inside decor makes you feel like you are far from philly!! Very worth a stop in.

Delicious Mediterranean restaurant but the portions are a little small and the prices a little large. They are BYOB and Cash Only. We got the hummus salmon pizza, the brie cheese, the pasta, and a couple other dishes. Everything was delicious, but we spent around $200 for 5 adults and 2 small children and left hungry.

Absolutely loved the food at Figs! The lamb shank and Bronzino (whole fish of the day) were both fantastic. Finished off the meal with some mint tea. Great date night out in the neighborhood.
