About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Innovative
Great for brunch

Renata's Kitchen in Philadelphia, PA offers home-style Middle Eastern food. Starters might include Arabian salad, mjadarra or tomato cilantro soup. Then you can move on to a sandwich like the Tuscan chicken or Cubano, or maybe a falafel or kefta maswhii wrap. Although the main focus at Renata's Kitchen is Middle Eastern, you can get fries with your sandwich. If you're looking for something substantial, try the chicken Estambule, lamb mashwii or shakshouka merguez. Vegetarians will appreciate offerings like the mjaddara platter (spiced bulghar and lentils served with Arabian salad). Although you cannot buy alcoholic beverages at Renata's Kitchen, you are welcome to bring your own.

Renata Cafe is a great addition to the University City dining scene. The food is quite good, and the service always comes with a smile. We love dining at this neighborhood gem.

Small middle eastern restaurant about a mile from Penn campus. Very attentive staff. All four of us enjoyed our appetizers and entrees. No complaints; would definitely go again.

The four of us had a great dinner at Renata's earlier this week. Everything we tried was very good, and because it's a BYOB, the bill was really low!

A little gem! Amazingly good savory small plates: yummy fried eggplant and creamy, fresh hummus were two of our favorites. We walked from Penn campus in 95-degree heat, and we were not disappointed!

The food was nicely spiced. Surprising us with the north Africa smells and taste. The ambiance Was great until a very loud group of girls took over and we could not hear ourselves talking. We enjoyed the food and we will be back. Also the service was friendly and attentive.

Ambiance is slightly exotic university hotspot, BYOB, so the prices are affordable, the service is fine, and the food is generally Greek-Turkish-Lebanese, with a lot of lamb, chickpeas, and capers. I would definitely recommend it.
