Almyra Restaurant

Morgan the bartender ( bar chemist) was the highlight of the night. I hope she gets recognized for a job well done. She is top notch. She knows everyone and makes them feel her magic. She sparkles and you can tell she loves people. The drink was the $38 one on the menu. It was a fun drink! The lobster pasta was excellent 🦞

The service was truly amazing; the staff were attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The vibe inside was perfect - cozy yet vibrant, creating a welcoming atmosphere. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. And to top it off, the service was impressively fast, ensuring we didn't have to wait long to indulge in our meal. Overall, an exceptional dining experience that I highly recommend!

We celebrated my Mom birthday. It was my first time dining at Almyra and it was great! We both had fish entrees and the fish was cooked perfectly and served with grilled veggies. Drink with Moet was so delicious. I will kill for it ❤️ Desserts taste amazing. 10/10

Amazing meal, amazing service, great atmosphere! Only con I had was my lobster was severely overcooked and I could not enjoy my pasta due to it, looking forward to coming back and trying other dishes but definitely won’t be ordering that again. My boyfriend’s sea bass however was cooked to perfection and I loved the hummus and grilled vegetables side!

Such a fun and classy spot for a celebration! Wonderful attention to detail and excellent service all night. Food: Get all the dips, and definitely the flaming saganaki cheese. Skewers were excellent, as were the sushi fusion bites! We all loved the whole fish and desserts. Drink: bar area very active! Didn't try the cocktail with mini bubbly but it was real cute. Other signature cocktails delicious and ephemeral, and a solid old fashioned upon request. Too excited about bubbly!

This restaurant was so beautifully designed and such a pretty place to dine. We came for their happy hour selection and the spreads were our favorite, you get a choice to try all five. Happy hour is bar only but the bar is quite large and spacious. A perfect place for date night or small plates to share.

It has a fascinating presentation with its elegance and pleasant decoration. The quality of their customers is smarky and kind. We were very well received by our working friends. Our waiter Alex was so cute. Thank you for accompanying us tonight. She was a decent girl who knew her job. 🍹

Almyra, the sister of Estia, is the place to be. This is the second time I’ve dined here, and I absolutely love it. I wanted to try more items on the menu, but I couldn’t resist the mouth watering and buttery taste of their Chilean Sea Bass. Trust me when I say, you will leave your plate clean. The atmosphere is beautiful and the service is a 10/10. There is no question I’ll be back.

Such a vibe and great food! Me and my girlfriends will definitely be back soon! Nice place to unwind

I am still DREAMING about this meal. This is probably the best meal I had in a while! The restaurant was dim and perfect for a cute date night. The service was amazing and it wasn't a long wait to get our food. filet kebab: the flavor and sauce were rich. 4/5 octopus hot mezze: I don't usually get octopus as an entree, but thank gosh I did! It was soft and not chewy. It definitely has a 'light' taste 5/5 basmati rice: just a normal basmati rice 4/5 single spread (whipped feta, smoked eggplant, and beet): all 3 spreads were delicious, but my favorite is the eggplant! 5/5

This place gets 5 stars for its aesthetics honestly. It is SO cute inside. Perfect for a birthday or a celebration. I went for a friends birthday and had a reservation and was seated promptly and our waitress came pretty quickly. I had the lobster pasta which was insanely good. I really liked it! Had just a bit of kick to it in the sauce and I have a nonexistent spice tolerance but it was fine. Only thing I can say about the pasta I wish it had more lobster in it.

The new hot spot in Rittenhouse square is a beautiful location! Service was a bit rushed and cocktails could use some sprucing but the food, phenomenal! Highly recommend the edamame dip and shrimp skewer. Our server said the skewers were an add on to a meal but they are a full meal by itself. I'm still craving the shrimp. We had the lobster pasta which was loaded with lobster but I regret not getting the potato side because it looked amazing!

walked into a beautiful restaurant, truly so stunning with all the lighting and florals. Perfect restaurant to impress a date or special occasions. We went on a Friday after work, and truly enjoyed an amazing dinner! Service was exceptional. It's rare for me to like every dish I try at a restaurant but I truly like everything here! The sample app is a MUST, with all these dips and the phenomenal warm pita and crackers! Seafood dishes were almost a wow. I don't like grilled calamari usually because it is chewy at many places, this was prob the best grilled calamari ever! The drinks were delish, maybe just a bit on the sweeter side than I usually like but that didn't stop us lol And the desserts! Definitelty get the one that looks like a deconstructed baklava. That was sooo good!

Everything we ordered was amazing. Hostess, manager, and waiter were great Mr.Security up front was extremely rude. The ambiance was nice but tables were a bit small. 8.7 - will come back for food. Must order: -octopus- fresh and melts in your mouth -lobster pasta -chilean bass (a.must) -short rib

Went to Almyra twice in the past few weeks for both dinner and happy hour. Dinner: really cool atmosphere, feels trendy and elevated. Staff was knowledgeable about the menu and food came out quick. We loved the chicken kofta, beef dumplings and layered potato side the best, but all of the food and dips were fantastic. Happy hour: we came at 4:30 on a Monday so was not particularly busy. We sat at the bar and were served quickly. Drinks were $5 for beer, $9 for wine/cocktails (which is a bit pricey for a Philly happy hour). The food options were decently reduced priced dips and appetizers. Overall I am a fan of this new, modern greek spot near Rittenhouse! The happy hour deals are not the best, but probably worth it given the quality of the food.

This is one of the new hot spots of philly and i can see why! The vibe and ambience is very meditarranean modern vibes but I wasn't loving the music, i felt like i was in a club and made it feel very hectic. we started with a cocktail that had aloe in it, it was way too sour for me and not enough aloe, not a fan. i then got the tuna crispy rice and the octopus. the crispy rice was okay, i've definitely had better and the rice was way too gummy and got stuck on my teeth. it wasn't "melt in your mouth" like i'm used to. the octopus though was DELICIOUS definitely my favorite dish of the night we then got the lobster pasta and the lavraki. both were good! the lobster pasta had a decent amount of lobster in it and the lavraki was delicious but i wish it came with rice or something starchy bc just the side of horta wasn't doing it for me. we the finished the meal with the chocolate torte and a scoop of the pistachio gelato all in all, this place was good but i wasn't raving about it. it was a decent meal for the price and the indoor decor and vibes were nice. i'm not dying to go back and try something but maybe i just didn't get their star dishes! 3.85/5

This place is always packed - and I totally see why. It's not just an "instagram-able" place, but they have a great selection of food and cocktails. This is one of my favorite happy hour spot in the city as well. I love Greek food and I was so happy to see that they have the fava bean dip, which is not easy to find. Everything tasted sooo good! We didn't order anything from the dinner menu but would love to come back next time for dinner. Definitely make a reservation if you want to check out this place or come early! It does fill up pretty quick especially if you're here for happy hour.

Almyra is well decorated and a cute date night spot! The staff was very friendly as well. The food, however, was just alright. I am a huge Mediterannean food lover and the flavors/quality of the food didn't wow me. The pita bread lacked both flavor and texture- I would say they were equivalent to tortillas. My friends and I decided to try several dishes: MEZZE (1) Charred Octopus: this was good, but we all agreed you could only take a few bites before the taste became overwhelming (2) Spanakopita manti: I really enjoyed these! They were like little rangoons filled with spinach and cheese. KEBABS (1) Filet Mignon: the cubes of meat were inconsistently cooked- some were well done and some were medium rare. The flavor was pretty bland, but the meat was tender. FISH (1) Chilean Sea Bass: this was the winning dish of the night! This was soooo good! The fish was perfectly cooked and the bed of vegetables it was sitting on complemented the fish very well. If I were to go back, I would only order this dish.

This is the new Philly standard. Interior: sexy and gorgeous; Service: attentive and knowledgeable; Food: nothing short of amazing. The quality of this place is something I have missed. My wife and I came in for dinner on a Tuesday night (eve of July 4th). The hostess was so nice and suggested we catch the final minutes of happy hour at the bar before being seated. We found this very thoughtful and exemplary of excellent service. After we had a drink at the bar we were promptly seated at a table at the corner of one of the long booth sections. This was a great seat because my wife and I were able to share the booth and sit next to each other. We ordered a bottle of wine, and the wine manager, Irving, came over to explain the wine. He was so nice and personable. We had a great conversation about wine and his journey to becoming a sommelier. It added a great touch to the whole experience. For apps, we ordered the dumplings, almyra heart of palm salad and the octopus. Everything was phenomenal. The octopus was one of the best I've ever had... cooked perfectly. For dinner, we ordered the lobster pasta and the lamb chops (I added a fourth chop for $12). I cannot even explain how good these meals were. The chops were beyond incredible. The lobster and pasta were cooked perfectly. Portions great. This place is a must-try. It has everything! Hope you enjoy it.

Overall: delicious food, great vibes, and located in rittenhouse! Seafood was fresh and dishes weren't overpowering. Will def come back! Ordered: 3.5/5 Crispy rice: similar to tater tots with fish on top, less crispy than typical crispy rice but I personally enjoy a fluffy crispy rice 4/5 Edamame Hummus: yummy twist on hummus, super light and loved it! Pita was sooo soft 4.5/5 Sea bass: so light and flavorful. Sauce didn't overpower the sea bass, which tasted so fresh and soft and perfectly cooked!! 3.5/5 Lobster pasta: fresh lobster, came with lots of meat! Good but not crazy special. Tip: They offer an extensive list Of wine!

Almyra is a fun Greek restaurant located in the same property as the Hyatt Centric but on the exterior of the hotel. I loved the ambiance as it was very unique, someplace that reminded me of a romantic little getaway. Everywhere I looked there was something fun to see. I sat at the bar and was treated to amazing service. The bartenders were great! I had the Greco roll which was salmon, sushi rice, and a grape leaf. It was a very clean, very simple dish but also was a nice light meal. I ended not staying long because another patron made unwanted overtures and wouldn't take no for an answer. No longer feeling comfortable I ended up paying my bill and leaving. But for the time I was there it was a good experience.

GREAT first time visit to Almyra! Beautiful new venue that has been around for about 2 months now, and already an amazing following and new regular (raises hand), me! The space, decor, lighting and everything about the main entrance and dining room is beautiful. See the photos with the review. My friend and I sat at the bar, AMAZING choice for a ladies night catch up session. Very chic decor, and soft music and an elegant feel. The FOOD! I loved the appetizer of the choice of 3 (pictures attached): each option comes with Pita Bread and spiced rice crackers! We should've gotten the choose 5 option because the 3 was just enough but also so good, we wanted more. Out of the 3, the Beet spread (w/ pistachios and feta) were my favorite! The Layered Potato Fries WOW!!! Please give them a try! Cocktails!!!! Superb! Great recommendations and again, a great spot for a chill and balanced night for cocktails, conversation, and beautiful surroundings! Special shoutout to Morgan and Brandon behind the bar this evening during our visit!!! Truly remarkable customer service and engagement!!!

We came to Almyra for a girls night out. My friend lives in Philly and has a pulse on the best restaurants, old and new. Almyra was no exception to the caliber of places she takes us to when we visit. There is a dress code here, and honestly it was nice to have a little pressure to dress nice. We all lead busy lives and have gotten kind of comfortable with dressing comfortable when we get together. Getting ready for Almyra felt like an event and was very reminiscent of when we would go out in our early 20s. The ambiance is so pretty and photo-worthy, a lot of pink and white flowers billowing out up and down the restaurant. The food... ohh the food. So many of the appetizers were calling out to us from the menu and it was hard to narrow down the selection. Ultimately we chose all 5 spreads, (whipped feta, smoked eggplant, Santorini fava, beet, edamame hummus) which came with pita bread and spiced rice crackers, Almyra chips (zucchini and eggplant chips with tzatziki), Saganaki (their famous flaming cheese), and spanakopita manti. The spreads were out of this world, so flavorful and garnished with the perfect compliment to the flavors of each spread. The spiced rice crackers were a pleasant surprise. The Almyra chips are ultra thin slices of eggplant and zucchini, battered and fried and simple and delicious. The Saganaki came with a little show, a waitress brought it to the table, poured the ouzo-honey emulsion on top and set it aflame! It was like (or was?) halloumi cut with the citrusy honey, so good and crisp! Last but not least- the spanakopita manti instead of the traditional phyllo triangles these were in little bit sized purse-shaped wontons, very delicious and gone too soon! The appetizers were my favorite portion of the meal. For our meal, my one friend and I were both interested in the filet mignon & chicken kebabs. We decided to get one of each and share along with a side of the feta mashed potatoes. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly and was tender but the chimichurri wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped it would be. The chicken kebab was my least favorite of the meal, the flavor tasted more citrus than apricot and the texture of the meat was very soft which is definitely a preference thing, nothing wrong with it, but I prefer the meat to be a bit firmer than it was. Our feta mashed potatoes didn't taste like feta at all which was disappointing because the fries sounded amazing, and I wish we would have gotten them instead. I will say the mashed potatoes were the PERFECT consistency, so though they didn't taste like feta, they did deliver on all other accounts!! For dessert we selected the cheesecake, which was very different from Italian or American cheesecake; it had a sponge cake on the bottom, topped with a yogurt based cheese mixture and on top of that "birds nest" phyllo- it was absolutely delicious! We also had baklava (how can you not??) and it was shaped into little rolls making the experience very different from traditional baklava but no less delicious. We had a great time and left happily full!

Service at the bar was so friendly and efficient that I can't help but acknowledge. It's the only reason I gave the restaurant 3 stars I ordered the crispy potatoes with oestra caviar. The caviar was delicious but over shadowed by the oiliness of the potatoes. The filet kabobs ( 6 oz with no rice and or veggie for $35) were over cooked. Not a great meal

Recently visited Almyra on a Tuesday evening and everything was great! The restaurant is GORGEOUS, service was prompt, and the food was a 10/10. Will definitely visit again to try more things!

Tried Almyra on a Saturday evening and it did not disappoint. It was quite crowded and busy so clear that people are clamoring to this hot new spot. Ambiance was classy and fun; I saw people of all ages dining here. They do not have a coat check. Food wise, I was very pleased. There were a few standout items that I would one THOUSAND percent return for. For appetizers, we got the dips which was pretty standard, nothing special and I found the portion a little small. We also got the crispy rice which was good. Finally, we got the flaming cheese! This was amazing- it was unbelievably delicious and receiving it was such a fun experience. I would definitely get this again. For our entrees, we got the two different types of sea bass. The Chilean sea bass was a standout. It was so tender and delicious. It is in the top two best I've ever had. I dreamt about that sea bass the night after! I am drooling just thinking about it. We finished with dessert. Again, these were tiny portions so I would order more than you think you need. We got the chocolate soufflé cake which was fantastic, dense, and rich. We also got the baklava which was fine. All in all, would definitely come back- standout items for me were the cheese, the Chilean sea bass and the chocolate soufflé cake. The other items on the menu I ordered were okay but I will probably try something different next time.

The hottest new restaurant in Philly didn't disappoint. The spreads are amazing, and I swear they had the best spanakopita I have ever had. It's a great choice for happy hour if you're looking for an upscale spot. The main menu is definitely higher in price but everything looks delicious and I look forward to trying more. At the bar they were very attentive and ensured we were well taken care of. The restaurant is beautiful inside, it is a bit loud though with music and talking. All in all it's a great spot for a fun upscale happy hour.

Almyra Greek Restaurant offers a wonderful ambiance that feels like paradise as soon as you step inside. My friend booked this place for our friend's birthday party, and we had a blast! We started with the 5 spreads appetizer, Almyra chips, saganaki, spanakopita, and their amazing non-alcoholic beverages. For our main meals, we savored lobster pasta, chicken kebab, filet kebab, and Lavraki. Dessert was baklava and Greek cheesecake, both delicious. The food and drinks were fantastic, and the portions were generous. The staff was friendly and recommended dishes we loved. Can't wait to come back!

Tried Almyra for a Friday happy hour. Really nice atmosphere. Good music, nice selection of food and drinks. Had the special cocktail which was a really nice gin cocktail made with crushed grapes. Nice! As the bartender said, "It's crushable." Also tried their three item mezzo platter for which I selected a smoked eggplant (think babagaoush), a beet spread and a edamame hummus. All sooo good! Nice chatting with some new friends at the bar. Check out @stufftodoinphilly on insta. Great find. Check it out!!!

I finally got a chance to try out this new Greek restaurant in Philly, Almyra, and it was great! The aesthetic of the restaurant was absolutely stunning I couldn't stop staring at everything, I would go back just for that alone. But the food was great too! Authentic Greek inspired food, including Lamb and an INCREDIBLE feta whipped dip. And make sure to get the Pathos cocktail too. The staff was super friendly and the place was popping so make your reservation fast!!

Very much enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Almyra, sister-restaurant to Estia. We loved the decor with high-top tables near the bar, which was topped with a beautiful wood sculpted ceiling, and banquette seating with sculptural flowers behind and above. The modern, brass tabletop lamps were small enough to not get in the way of the food, and low enough not to cause a glare while looking across the table. And the service was, as I'd expect from an Estia-related restaurant, prompt and friendly. We started with the Crispy Rice (tuna, avocado, olive), which was one of my favorite dishes of the night. Rice was nicely crisped and that tuna...how did they get it so smooth?! I could eat these daily for every meal. We moved on to the "Choice of Three" spreads, which come with pita bread and spiced-rice crackers (thought the dips overpowered the crackers and preferred the added flavor from the pita bread) and had difficulty picking our favorite between the: - Whipped Feta (jalapeno, radish), which had a touch of heat that was noticeable, but in no way overpowering; - Smoked Eggplant (peppers, za'atar, balsamic), which had an amazing smoky flavor that appealed to me, who doesn't generally like baba ganoush-type dips; - Santorini Fava (saffron, crispy capers), love me some capers! Will have to try the Beet (pistachio, feta) and the Edamame Hummus (tahini, garlic confit) next time! For our Mezze, we received the Bifteki Dumpling (beef, feta, lemon-mint yogurt), which had such enticing flavor (we want to try to make it at home), and the Saganaki (kefalograviera cheese, ouzo-honey emulsion)--do I need to say how tasty fried cheese is? In this case, the ouzo addition was terrific, as it cut the sweet'n'saltiness. Next time I might save some spiced-rice crackers to eat with the Saganaki for additional texture. We had to get some kebabs--went with the Chicken Kofta (za'atar, onion, apricot)--and the Lamb Chops (herb marinated australian lamb, layered potato fries), both of which were delicious. I definitely did not pick up the chops to gnaw on the charred bits on the bone...and those layered potato fries--crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Is someone working a mandoline all day to create these? We didn't leave room for dessert, but we'll be back!

This restaurant WILL be the hot spot in this area...you heard it here first, folks! New establishments always need a few weeks to work out the kinks. Unreal that we visited within the first few days of opening and the service was as smooth as silk. Well-oiled machine with beautiful decor and delicious offerings! We tried a slew of menu items, each one being better than the next: Spreads - we sampled all five...smooth and creamy Greco roll - nice sushi option Duo Tartare - salmon AND tuna, our favorites! Bifteki Dumping - lightly fried...loved the lemon-mint yogurt Almyra Chips - crispy and addictive Chilean Sea Bass - flaky yet dense. Loved the horta! Short rib - so incredibly tender Don't sleep on their cocktails. Unique flavors that complement each other. This is a beautiful date spot. Pretty decor but not stuffy. Warm lighting and nice fixtures. Unisex bathrooms with a communal sink. Head over before it's impossible to get in!

Came to Philadelphia and got my fix of Greek food... different restaurant (Estia), same owners! This restaurant is named after the Greek Goddess of the sea breeze! That maths based on the aesthetic. Flowers are everywhere! It's an airy and very open restaurant but capable of seating many people. The bar, a beautiful central spectacle as you enter, is a popular spot and quite busy! If you want a bar seat, you need to arrive by 4:30 pm. The happy hour menu was wonderful which, as I understand it, is the draw. The dips/spreads were all excellent. I tried the whipped jalapeño dip, smoked eggplant and edamame hummus. I also tried the charred octopus which was brilliant and the tuna rice cake, also exceeding expectations! Loved it!

With a Wonderful ambience and Great service, Almyra was overall a great experience! Loves: Cocktails-all of them! We had a large group and everyone was raving about the cocktails! Eggplant spread was easily the best of the 5 with tons of smoky flavor! Crispy tuna app Beef dumplings app Layered Fries! Just get them trust me. Likes: Shrimp kebab has large shrimp well cooked but the sour yogurt topping threw me off a bit. Next time I'll opt for spread, mezze, and drinks galore!

The food was absolutely amazing, and a great price for happy hour! I love when there are plenty of options from the HH menu. Absolutely nothing disappointed, but a definite standout was the greco roll, just because it was so different and like nothing I've had before. I love grape leaves and love sushi, so it was the perfect combo for me! The drinks were creative and tasty, and I wish I could have tried them all! I ordered the Petalouda (vodka, elderflower, butterfly pea tea, and mastiha) and my friend got the Anthos (gin, grapes, lillet). We were sat at high tops in the bar area, and the hostess even allowed us to push two together so that we could accomodate our party of four and still get the HH deal. The atmosphere was lively and fun and the space was absolutely stunning - I will definitely be back.

The main reason people pop into Almyra is for the vibe. It's a place to be SEEN. The decor is fabulous and the music is flowing. The food was better than I expected but the bar service is where things fell flat. Our server was lovely and attentive but our apps arrived well before our cocktails and when we ordered a second round of drinks, they took 20 minutes to arrive. So the flow of the meal was a bit off but the food was great nonetheless! The tequila cocktail was a 6/10 but the cold brew martini was a 9/10! Get the tuna/salmon crudo duo and the kabobs! Didn't need a reservation for 3ppl on a Friday night but you should make one if you have a large party. Add Almyra to your list!

An absolutely incredible addition to the Philadelphia center city food scene! I had the wonderful opportunity to join Almyra for opening night with some friends. To start, the aesthetic, furniture, art and overall ambiance is captivating. You can tell it has been so carefully curated by the visionary who brought Almyra to life. We were seated quickly and greeted by our server. She was funny, spunky, incredibly knowledgeable and elevated our experience. The manager checked in with us halfway through our meal as well and made us feel at home. As a table we ordered the set of 3 spreads, spanakopita, Saganaki, chicken kebab, short ribs and stacked potatoes. The food was delicious and we wiped each plate clean. The highlights were definitely the Spanakopita and Fava spread! To add a cherry on top, they helped us celebrate our friend with a complementary dessert, Ekmek (which was amazing) Highly recommend this spot for every celebration, date night or upscale meal! I will definitely be coming back very soon :)

Very cool dining my experience. The bar is very lively and the music gets loud so not the best for casual conversation and catching up, but the atmosphere is exciting. The drinks are stellar. We ordered all our food hoping to course it out but it all came at once. Must orders are the spreads, the almyra chips, and the potatoes and caviar. Our waitress was excellent with recommendations and comped some of the bill for the kitchen sending everything out. We really enjoyed the food experience and will be coming back!

Really pretty inside, and the food is good! All dishes are executed well. Drinks are strong and pretty as well!

Loved everything about this spot. The ambiance was incredible, the service was quick and the food was absolutely delicious. Some favorites were the starter dips, the Greek salad and the fried feta cheese. 10/10 would return

Have been wanting to try this trendy version of Estia since it opened, such a popular spot! The place is very alive and modern decorated, with booths, center bar and semi-open kitchen. The servers are pretty nice and for a crowded prime time dinner, food came in decent time. They are the same owner/team as Estia, so we took the recommendation and got octopus and lamb chops, both were cooked well, but the sauce is quite boring (dill sour cream/hummus), not much Greek flare or new spin. The sea bass was cooked perfectly, flakey and tender, but the miso glaze was too heavy and spinach base was too salty as well... The tuna/salmon tartare was very fresh, the salmon side was better seasoned than the tuna side. The layered fries were good, thick cut but the layering made it very crispy in each bite, however again the sauce/seasoning was kinda boring - for its price tag and hype, thought it would be better/more special. Grilled veggies were thin cut and very plain... Overall the food is not bad but not worth that price tag - Estia is better still... It's known for their drinks and cocktail, but for what we tried still nothing to be raved about... maybe more for the vibe~

Love the aesthetic of the restaurant. However, the service is terrible. My bf and I had a reservation for my birthday made well in advance. Upon arriving, we were notified that our table was not ready. When we were finally seated, it took 20+ minutes to be greeted by our server and receive water. It took another 20+ minutes to receive our drinks. There was a 20/30 min period between when we finished our appetizers and received our entrees/second round of drinks. Because the service was so slow, we declined dessert. Our server still brought out cookies which she stated were "on the house" for my birthday. To our surprise, we were charged for the cookies that were "on the house." All in all, while the hot appetizers we ordered were delicious, the entrees were mediocre. We felt that the restaurant is over-hyped and we left disappointed by the overall experience.

If I could suggest only one restaurant in Philadelphia right now. It would be Almyra, it's from the Estia group of hotels, so you know the food was going to be good! But we didn't except to be completely blown away by the vibes, if you can take your eyes away from the bar area, you can appreciate the concept and design of this restaurant, you are sure to be transported into a culinary heaven set in Mykonos Greece or Santorini. But the real star of this show is the food. You think, well it's Mediterranean, there's only so much too it, but this being a modern Greek restaurant it will knock your taste buds to heaven and back. We started off with the Smoked eggplant spread over which came with warm Pita bread. The Bifteki Dumplings were amazingly savory . The Shrimp Kaidifi were superb and almost like prawns. The Almyra chips were surprisingly addictive. But the entrees were a different performance in its self, I loved the lobster Pasta ( I don't even like Lobster) and the filet kebabs. And we rarely ever get to the dessert, but with our first few courses this good, we couldn't miss out! We tried the Ekmek which was a layered dessert and was just the most amazing ending to our meal. I was looking for future reservations as we walked out the door! Yes it's that good!

I went here for the first time with coworkers for happy hour. We got a nice seat at a high top table in the bar area. The ambiance is so beautiful, pretty lighting and glamorous fixtures. Our server was very attentive and quickly brought us happy hour drinks and bites. I got the bee sting (special cocktail for hh) which was delicious. All of the food we got was amazing - I loved the spreads with pita, and the spanakopita bites were super unique and tasty. I also got the layered potatoes from the regular menu and they were soo fantastic! Love that there were a lot of vegetarian options. I will definitely be coming back to try more!

Absolutely fantastic. Service was excellent. Food was extremely good. I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ate. The chicken kebabs were different than I thought they would be. They were made with ground chicken not chicken chunks so make note of that. The chicken kebabs were similar to chicken sausage. I wouldn't order those again. I'm not a huge fan of ground chicken but the flavor was delicious. The restaurant is very pretty inside with flowers on the ceiling. I don't drink so I only had sparkling water. I'll definitely be back for the lamb chops.

Once you step into Almyra it feels like you're transported to Greece. The ambiance is absolutely breathtaking. I ordered the moura cocktail and it came w a mini bottle of champagne. The drink was delicious & CUTE , it felt like I was drinking 2 cocktails mixed in one (the drink was huge and I was set with that all night). We started off w plenty of appetizers and honestly I got stuffed from it that I barely ate my entree. For appetizers we ordered the tuna crudo, crispy rice, duo tartare, crispy potatoes & caviar, shrimp kadaifi, & the saganaki. Let me start off by informing you that my bf & I are sushi lovers so we are familiar with good quality raw sushi (we loveeeeee raw sushi). The tuna crudo was flavorful w a bit of a tangy taste. I've tasted crispy rice from many different restaurants and let me tell you this one was the besttt! My bf fav appetizer was the crispy rice! It was the perfect ratio of tuna and crispy rice which I loved the most. The duo tartare was sooooo good I love the combo of the salmon & tuna w avocado at the bottom! The lotus chips topped it off because it added texture due to the crunch. The crispy potatoes & caviar was amazinggggg it was a small portion but the potatoes overpowered the caviar. I was hoping to taste the caviar a bit more. Onto the shrimp kadaifi, it was hugeeeee I love how they added fried vermicelli noodles around it. I'm Cambodian, in our culture we make fried shrimp rolls. The shrimp kadaifi tasted similar but since they wrapped noodles around it, it gave it a different type of texture which I like, the sauce they included almost taste like spicy mayo which wasn't bad at all. Now onto the sanganaki, the star of the appetizers.. it came out in a pan and the waiter lit it on fire which was really nice! It's cheese w a nice tangy sweet burnt taste to it. It was addicting to eat!!! At this point, I am full but here comes our entree. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection, it came out w a white sauce which added more flavor and coldness to the plate, the layered potatoes were similar to the ones that used for the caviar which was good. It wasn't your average potatoe fries. The lobster pasta was average it tasted like spaghetti. Overall, the restaurant exceeded my expectations. Everything was really nice, fast, the decor was beautiful, the cocktail was so good, the appetizers was delicious!!!!! Def a 10/10 !

Ok. Visited 2x in the last week. Totally redeemed. That filet skewer is scrumptious. And the fried cheese....I would bathe in.

We could not wait to visit this new restaurant. Service 10/10. We never had to ask for our water to be refilled, staff was very helpful when it came to menu suggestions, my friend dropped his fork and we did not have to wait more than a minute before new fork was provided (without asking). Food was 10/10 , The mussels were delicious. The lobster pasta was full of lobster and so good! The lamb chops were perfectly seasoned. The cocktails and dessert were phenomenal! Perfect restaurant for a date night!

Felt like I was transported to a coastal dream! The decor and ambience is sooooo beautiful very amalfi meets Philly. The servers were so professional and on top of everything. The pacing of the food was also appreciated because we tried ALOT. Standout dishes for me was the Greco Roll, Octopus, and Lobster Pasta. The other dishes were good these are just the most memorable. My only qualm was finding out they do batch drinks which I don't care for but we ordered off menu as well and those were excellent! Overall 8.5/10 would def recommend.

So excited a new Estia Group restaurant is in Philly!! The space is big and beautifully decorated. The service was super attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. And the food? INCREDIBLE. We started with 3 of the spreads and wow. I had the Charred Octopus and it was perfect - it's listed as a starter but it's enough for a meal if you have an app. Can't wait to return !

The décor is on point at Almyra. As soon as I walked in for a Happy Hour visit I couldn't help but scan the room and be impressed. It was crowded for Happy Hour and it's easy to see why. The menu is extensive. My friend and I started with the spreads and the drink of the day. The drink of the day was a bees knees, a perfectly mixed gin based cocktail. The spreads were edamame hummus, beets, santorini fava, whipped feta, and smoked eggplant, with pita bread. I'm not a hummus fan, and only liked 2 of the five spreads. The whipped feta and fava were the only ones I went back for after the first taste. After the spreads we tried the bifteki dumplings. A very tasty beef dumpling. Next we went to the regular menu for the shrimp kebab. This was the standout dish. The shrimp were thick and juicy, and whatever they were marinated in took the flavor to another level of deliciousness. We also tried the saganaki, which comes to you in a plate that's on fire. A great presentation to this yummy Greek cheese dish. If I was a bigger fan of the spreads, Almyra would be a five star restaurant. But it is close, and I do plan to return for another Happy Hour.

Wow, what a transformation from my old late night food stop Little Pete's (IYKYK!) Almyra hit all the wants: beautiful space, delicious food, and lovely service. I couldn't get over how light and airy the decor is - definitely recommend for a group dinner or date night. Hubby and I split several of the dips - the smoked eggplant and spicy feta were stand-outs, but the edamame hummus was solid too. The cheese saganaki was one of the best I've had, even better than halloumi; honey emulsion is *chef's kiss*. I wanted to love the shrimp kadaifi as it was yummy and the shrimp were big and fresh, but the fried phyllo dough gets quickly overwhelming. We shared a beef dish that isn't worth mentioning and looks like it has since been removed from the menu. Our server was really sweet and helped me picked a Greek wine to try that goes with my taste. Overall, great experience and will be going back!

Lucky to grab a reservation for a Saturday night after being on the notification list. We were seated once most of our party of 4 had arrived. Service was great and our waitress went through the menu and gave really solid recommendations (the entire menu looked great so hard to narrow down). Everything we had tasted great and I would reorder everything we tried. Perfect spot for a date night or girls night! Can't wait to come back.

The service here was great! The DJ played great music! All the food we ordered was great, my favorite was the shrimp kadaifi. I went here for my friend's birthday and it was the perfect vibe. Bathroom did have a long line the entire time we were there.

Almyra is a stunning restaurant. From the moment you walk in the door you just feel fancy. They really nailed the Grecian vibes. I loved every part of my meal and felt as though I got my money's worth of every course. My appetizer shrimp were massive, my lamb was cooked well, and my dessert was delicious. The staff were very kind and attentive.

Excellent ambience. Attentive and knowledgeable servers. Food came out fast. Sides came out a couple of minutes ahead of mains, which was a bit odd. But everything was very tasty and well prepared. Duo Tartare was excellent. Lamb chops also very good. A little over priced.

The ambiance is beautiful! The service was amazing and the food was tasty. I was there for drinks and got a reservation for dinner. I definitely enjoyed my dinner , however it's not filling, but delicious . I will be returning there again . The cocktails are great too!

Beautiful place we went a large group so the drinks took long had to walk over to the bar but no big deal , the food was a 8-10 the lobster pasta was okay
