Árdana Food & Drink - Newtown

Ardana Food & Drink is amazing! The food was fresh and full of flavor. We had the sirloin and lamb chops—both were cooked perfectly. The potatoes on the side were crispy and delicious. The place has a great vibe, and the staff was really friendly and helpful. Everything came out quickly, and we felt well taken care of. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great meal!

I had Spicy Eggplant Sandwich. So yammy . The eggplant was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The spice level was just right for me.

I had my baby shower at the Newtown location this past weekend and it was the perfect venue! The room was beautiful, the food was fantastic, and the staff was amazing. Matt and Grace were great to work with during the planning process. Armani and the rest of the servers were all extremely attentive, friendly, and efficient. I would definitely choose the Newtown location again and will recommend Ardana to anyone looking to plan a beautiful and memorable event in the future!

Here for the second time, because we loved it when we first moved here. Armani is our bartender and WOW - Incredible drinks time & time again. He’s the BEST mixologist in Newtown, hands down. We loved our mez trio too!! Everything we ate and drank was incredible!

Delicious food and kind staff! They gave us a free scoop of gelato since it was our first time there. Definitely recommend! The Stuffed Gnocchi and the Charlie's Spiced Tea are must-tries!

I really like this place, I come here many times, very good service from the waiter Sergio, he served us for dinner on March 8, sociable, friendly, attentive, everything was at the highest level! The place has delicious food, cozy atmosphere.

So good!!! Our server John was the best. Attentive, personable and funny. The food and drinks were amazing.

When I tell you the SECOND I walked in the door everything was perfect. Lola took such great care of us. Every bite was crafted perfectly and seasoned and balanced. The ambiance is classy and calm. Matthew the manager when above and beyond to make sure everything was to the best standard. Highly recommend for date night, family night or anything!!

Circling back to say I also loved brunch. The latte was presented well but tasted great, the pancakes were fluffy and delicious. We even got the breakfast pizza which was a hit.

Lovely place with great service, but the food was mediocre. The spicy eggplant sandwich we shared was not spicy at all & it was mostly bread which I removed to reveal a thin slice of fried eggplant and some greenish dressing. Neither of us card for it. We also shared a falafel wrap which was somewhat better but not flavorful at all. The side salads were nice. We were disappointed.

June 28, 2025 - 4 for dinner Sadly must start off with the parking situation in the shopping center is STUPID and the developers and landlord should be fired or fined. And so bad they waste a parking spot with a dummy police cruiser it seems as we walked an 1/8 of a mile and my wife and I have NEVER abused her mom's handicapped placard in 4 years but did so I did not have to Uber from the parking lot from another town??? Nice place, decor and setting were trendy and clean!! Place settings and glassware clean and clear. Service was very good and plenty of menu knowledge and help. Its been over a week from our visit and I washed the receipt while travelling so the details will have to be overlooked as are the pictures? the rest of the crew were pleased with their entree and we had some good appetizers. I had some trouble with a whole food or plant based options but did come upon a QUINOA TABBOULEH and a SALT ROASTED BEETS and BRAISED WHITE BEANS that were acceptable and hit my hunger spot!!! Reasonably priced although drinks were a bit pricey for what you got. By the time we left, the parking lot was almost empty except for the dummy police car and our own vehicle on the opposite side of parking lot.... crazy.

Ardana is a nice spot for dinner. I really enjoyed the chicken thigh platter; the portion was huge and the pita was fresh and warm. My husband enjoyed his pasta with regular sauce, as well. We'll definitely be back to try some other menu items.

Such a pleasant surprise. Went with coworkers for lunch. I hadn't previewed the menu before we went so I didn't know the cuisine. It was so good. Mediterranean cuisine which I wasn't familiar with. However, the staff was very informative and helped me make a wonderful decision. I definitely recommend. The atmosphere was casual and perfect for our lunch. The food was delicious and there was a lot! Please be sure to try this place! I hate chain restaurants so I was happy to support this local establishment.

The food was average at best, portions were shockingly small, and the prices were way too high for what you get. Extremely disappointing overall, I will not be coming back.

Mary at the bar for the BEST margarita in Newtown! Tuesday /Wednesday ... Also good food; fresh ingredients; nice atmosphere. Lots of choices in Newtown but remember Ardana!

3 stars for the consistent food that keeps me coming back here as a favorite location for girls nights out. 2 stars lost for the waiter I have now had 2 times who is really unpleasant. He genuinely doesn't seem to want to be there and makes the experience stressful as we find ourselves trying not to aggravate him by just being there for a meal. Awesome ambience and love the patio.

Some of the best hummus I've had, overall great flavor in each dish. The grilled Halloumi side was very unique, I think with a prune compote on top. Super tasty!

I really like this place, I come here many times, very good service from the waiter Sergio, he served us for dinner on March 8, sociable, friendly, attentive, everything was at the highest level! The place has delicious food, cozy atmosphere.

The food was very delicious, the waitress was lovely and my glass of wine delightful. My friend and I had a lovely time there. I will return.

We looked at the menu online and everything looked amazing and we had a vision of what we thought this was going to be. The restaurant was beautiful but we expected a more authentic Mediterranean vibe. Down to the nuts and bolts... The appetizers were OK. The octopus was very good, but could've definitely been more charred. The Calamari left a lot to be desired and the hummus was just "ok". As far as dinner...The chicken Shawarma sandwich was very good! The burgers were definitely not handmade but had a decent flavor. There was no bacon in the bacon jam, and the jam was extremely sweet. I did have a martini which I asked for it to be dirty with extra olives. It was anything, but! The wait staff seemed to be very inexperienced. We had really high hopes when we saw their menu online and we were definitely not impressed.

This was our first time here. It's a beautiful restaurant. We were a little disappointed with the food. All four of us had the shrimp on a skewer platter. The shrimp was bland. The humas was bland. The salad was drenched in salad dressing. I don't remember the name of the Cab wine I had but it was disappointing. Now to the desert, it was fantastic!!! Baklava, it was so well made, so authentic. It actually made me think that I would give this place another try.

Morgan really took care of us. Great recommendations. Cute ambience. Food was delicious. Absolutely bonkers for the olive oil cake and baklava was delicious. Hot coffee too what is a perfect way to end the meal. Such a heavily rainy day, and I just felt very cared for here.

My favorite happy hour in Newtown. 4pm -6pm. Bar area only. This must be the new "early bird" special way to go. It sure works for us because the pasta was amazing and the pizza was outstanding. The brussels sprouts on the happy hour menu and the cauliflower also delicious plus the shrimp and chicken skewers were delicious as well. Actually, now that I think about it we ordered almost everything on the happy hour menu. I was lucky to get the leftovers and as a "re-heat" is was so darn good. Can't beat the atmosphere of this beautiful/stunning restaurant. Our energetic and friendly server (Niko) added to our fun dining experience. The martini (drink of the day) was a nice pour and I was feeling pretty good from it. I look foward to our next visit for sure!!

Excellent variety, quality, service, and atmosphere! The lamb chops, whipped ricotta, and all the passes are excellent

Great food and drinks. Great ambiance only been there once so can't really give a great review yet but I do recommend giving this place a try. You won't be disappointed, especially if you enjoy Mediterranean foods.

The ambience and food are always good. Consistency each time we go. We will continue to go back

when people do not at their food, there is. problem. the meze trio was totally inauthentic and taste. the falafel was overbooked (burnt). the pita bread was oily md overcooked. one pasta dish was untouched. chicken dish was half eaten. the desserts were awful. i literally vomited the chocolate budoni (pudding) as i walked out of the dining room. terrible. all for $250 dollars. the room feels like a converted fitness club. charmless, alien, and down right ugly. the service was bizarre. the server was intrusive and obnoxious. totally unprofessional. this was truly dreadful. avoid it.

Only open a few weeks, Ardana was packed for dinner on a Wednesday evening. The dining area was spacious and nicely appointed, with large bar where dining was accepted, and the best seat in the house. We were in a low deuce along the front window next to the bar. Not bad for a walk-in without reservations. Menu designed for small plates (tapas) with possibilities in both vegetarian oriented cuisine and larger dinner choices if meat and fish were your want. We ordered the Crispy Calamari, Hummus, Braised White Beans, Za'Taar Fries and The Lucy Pie brick oven pizza. Far more than we could consume, but the best way to sample a cross section of their kitchen magic. We also tried a glass of their Syrah red, and a locally brewed semi dark orange Pilsner. Everything was tasty and interesting, although not all standouts. Loved the calamari (sweetened with honey and and tinted with charred lemon, chives and sliced green olives), hummus (traditional w tahini, Za'Taar spice, olive oil and side of fresh pita for scooping), and braised white beans. The Lucy Pie was nice with thin crust and fresh greens on top, but underwhelming, especially when considering that MOD Pizza is right next door with excellent DIY pies. The long hots, kale and honey wasn't substantial enough to allow the flavors to dominate beyond the dough. Not worth the $15. Similarly, the Za'Taar fries were crisp/hot, but not superior to the less spiced but similar crisps found at local fast fooderies for far less expense. Would not order either of those dishes again. However, the overall experience was more than pleasant, with strong service and the able assistance of ownership stepping in to deliver and buss. Very happy to have a very good Mediterranean kitchen in town, and wish them buena fortuna going forward.

This place was underwhelming. Nice atmosphere and really unique menu, so I had high expectations. We wanted to order a bunch of appetizers to share instead of all getting separate meals. They sort of rushed the ordering process and then brought the food all out at once in rushed fashion. It was hard to eat without letting things get cold. The shrimp were near raw so they had to be sent back. Everything seemed to lack the typical Mediterranean seasoning and sauces. The skewers did not come with enough sauce or a pita which is pretty skimpy for how expensive a single skewer is. Overall, did not have the authentic Mediterranean flavors I was expecting and left me feeling rushed full of bland food.

Loved Ardana!! Delicious beets with whipped feta and Caesar salad! Enjoyed both!! John, our server, was fabulous! He provided excellent service and conversation! We will be back soon! Great vibe too!

Stopped in after seeing a movie. The place is the old Solstice which failed. Decor is a bit changed although the basic layout is the same. They kept the open kitchen. Ambiance is a tad less formal jeans and work shirts for the staff. But, cloth napkins. Always a nice touch. We sat at the "u" shaped bar. They have a nice drink menu. We sampled the small plate menu grilled octopus and crispy calamari. The Calamari was excellent. We then split an eggplant Milanese it was not great. My wife ordered a glass of Cypriot White wine. Xnisterii. Owners are Greek Cypriot. The wine was good similar to a Sauvignon blanc. The grape was not identified on the bottle. Eggplant Milanese that we shared was dry. It needed sauce or something to moisten the dish. Perhaps if they cut the eggplant thicker? Bartenders are great and the bar back was solicitous and smiling. We got a few cocktails and they were prepared perfectly. We showed up a bit after 430pm and the place was starting to fill up. When we left it was over half full. A pleasant experience. Nancy & Mark.

my wife and I went to Ardana tonight and were SO impressed with the food. we just moved to New Hope from New York and the meal we had was on par with a NY restaurant. The Chef put together an amazing menu and everything we had was excellen. this is our new go to spot!

Great service, very nice outdoor ambiance, and food was very good. Pleasant, soft music in outdoor area.

My family highly recommends Ardana. Truly some of the best food you could hope for and even better people taking care of you in a beautiful setting. My wife and I were planning our wedding. We didn't want to get married in front of 150 people but we wanted to celebrate with 150 people, so we decided to split up our ceremony and reception. We are very lucky that we included Ardana as a potential location because our experience was everything we could have hoped for. When we met with Mike, he was the exact kind of person we needed. He was engaged but laidback and super supportive of every idea we had. The staff tended to all of our needs and provided our guests -- all 150 of them -- with service that left many (if not all) raving about their time. Planning a wedding is a lot but fortunately we had Mike and his team to help us pull it all together. Truly can't thank them enough for a wonderful collaboration and an amazing night.

( lack of) Greeting by young want to be model - no smile no welcome zip Manager/owner shadowing new waitress- he was condescending - it's not a 5 star and won't ever be. This is the type of restaurant where THEY act like the leading character - funny I think the customers are.

We just hosted a luncheon for 26 at Ardana in Newtown. The entire staff was awesome and so was the food. None of our guests had ever been there before and were all very impressed with the food, ambiance and the wonderful staff!! Thank you Ardana for making our event a huge success!!

Great new restaurant in Newtown with significantly better food than its predecessor, Solstice. The ambiance and setting of Ardana Newtown is much akin to the former occupier of the location, Solstice, however, the food and menu is a large step up. Whereas Solstice had uneven dishes and a bit off service/management, Ardana has brought in a more experience crew and is like a Zahav lite for the suburbs if you're familiar with Solomov's veritable temple of levantine cuisine in the city. There are a lot of smaller dishes meant for sharing, which feels almost rote at this point, but they do them well and abound with a panoply of flavors, textures, and visualizations. I'd venture that the palette errs toward the sweeter side than one might expect for Mediterranean cuisine, but that can be easily rectified if you ask them to go light on the compotes and sauces. Dishes, and especially fishes!, are cooked exceptionally well and I have found the service staff very pleasant and present. Food is served a touch quicker than one might expect. My favorites are the scallops and Mediterranean Bronzino (so good!) as well as their Greek salads, of which they offer a few variations. Their pita bread is of the rather thin and dare-I-say processed variety; if they made it in house, it'd lighter, airier, and more tasteful. Other than that, I think their decor could be more aligned to the Greek/Levant ambiance, but perhaps that is still a work in progress. All in all, an easy recommendation and I look forward to returning more than the two times I have already been.

5 star: We went to Ardana's last evening for a delicious meal. After 15 minutes of confusion as to who the server was, the manager stepped in and Morgan came to the table to introduce herself, and offer one round of drinks because of the inconvenience. After that, Morgan was great and attentive. The food was excellent and we shared #3 small plate and fries. The atmosphere was quiet and intimate and we truly enjoyed a lovely dinner together. Thank you to Morgan and the entire staff at Ardana

Uhm... not great service... server would drop an item in the table and seemed to run away. Others at our table wanted to ask a question of the server but she was gone. Cocktails were not good. Whiskey sour not server with whiskey. Manhattan's over dosed with bitters. Nope

Happy hour: 5 stars! Great happy hour and excellent deals. Nothing beats the pesto pasta and haloumi. However, the brussel sprouts are very dry. Drinks are okay - They are very pretty, but the quantity seems very small for the price. Happy hour prices are good for the drinks, but regular prices are very high. Cons about happy hour: Limited seating by bar only. This place is not welcoming for families or large gatherings. I think it was meant for date night mostly. The hostesses are not very friendly. Most of the time they stand around at the front, but do not help at all for getting a table quickly or even with any basic requests (spoons, napkins, etc). Non-happy hour: 3 stars. It is very overpriced for what you get. I understand rent is expensive, but nothing in this location has ever really worked. I would recommend going for a nice date night or maybe happy hour after work. Dont bring kids.

This is hands down the best restaurant in Bucks County! I love the ambiance it's a great place to get together with friends or a date night! The food is so good, I ordered the vodka rigatoni and we got a mixture of pastas, pizzas, and entrees to try everyone in our party loved what we ordered!!! The meze trio is such a great appetizer to try a little bit of everything if it's your first time. The drinks are sooo good, I got the Notorious F.I.G and it was delicious!!! They just came out with their new cocktail & wine list, and they really know how to craft a wonderful seasonal cocktail! Also the staff was super friendly and so was management!! Can't wait to come back!!!!

Ardana has taken over the old solstice space. The space itself has not changed much which is a positive as it was well designed before. The menu is varied but overall mainly Greek. They also have pizza and pasta which is good if you have kids. However there is no kids menu. The food is fine, very similar to any Greek diner. The real downside is the service. They are very short staffed and get confused easily. The food and drinks came out randomly without any care. Very different than the previous iteration which had crisp attentive service. Based on the relatively high prices I would recommend only going for happy hour.

Inside is amazing nicely done. Service was great, lunch at the bar. Excited to try somewhere new etc.... Lamb burger was perfectly cooked but I'm a no bun guy so review is skewed. My lovely wife had the eggplant sandwich, very good, she had a side salad and I went with fries. Note to chef, cook the fries until crispy! Appetizer was a pizza and it was overly done. So thinking about my younglings who only eat pizza and fries it's a no. Clean and beautiful, but details matter even for pizza and fries.

Firstly, my husband and I are frequent flyers at the Warrington location and we love it there. We decided to try Newtown's location and we couldn't be more disappointed. We had a reservation and upon arrival, we were seated at one big table with another group of people. When the waiter came up we asked to be moved as we had a reservation and shouldn't be seated family style at a restaurant that isn't a family style restaurant. We came out for a date night, and it was uncomfortable to sit with strangers. After asking to be moved, our waiter, John, moved us and was extremely rude for the rest of the night. He wouldn't make eye contact. He went to every other table, avoiding our table. It took 2 hours to get our dinner and leave. When we got our food, my chicken was burnt to a crisp, literally, I thought bacon was in my shawarma. Sadly, we will not be returning to this location. Very very disappointed.

I had not have pizza for a year so ordered a margarita pizza. It was great and fresh. It was in middle of personal size and medium size. Still enough for two to share. Place is clean. Servers were friendly. I will be back for different disks. Definitely recommend this Newtown location.

The food is delicious, the wine list and drink menus are interesting ( in the best way) and the servers are both knowledgeable and attentive. Highly recommended.

The employees all seem miserable - the food is hot or miss and these A holes put cones in like 8 spots to reserve for their valets in a packed lot - hard pass

I was super excited to try this new restaurant out bc I loved solstice. Overall - disappointed would not go back. Ambiance very similar to solstice but the acoustics felt very difficult to hear. Food was a let down. I got the calamari and halloumi and both were underwhelming. Plating was decent. My friends got the pita and sandwich platter. Honestly they didn't look great - salad at canal street grill in Yardley is way superior. Fries were eh (better both at canal street grill or pita chip both Yardley). I tried my friends octopus was too charred. Wine was eh - maybe it was me felt like a small pour. Service was good which was why I gave it 3 instead of 2 stars. Parking was very hard in the lot.

The food we ordered was main stream. The roasted cauliflower was bland and cold. The roasted chicken platter with humus and pitta that could have been bought at Costco, the wild rice was a regular rice with some wild grains here and there. The Cacio Pepe was nothing like the original one made inside a hollow Pecorino cheese, it was a coldish pepper cream sauce with a little cheese sparkled on top. The pizza from the neighboor table seemed nice. I might go back to try it, otherwise, nothing special.

I've been to the Warrington location multiple times, and it never disappointed me. You pay a premium, but the food and service were always top-level. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about this one. The place is really bright, and there are way more seats per square foot than there should be, so it feels like you're cramped in there. The service was decent, so that's the reason I gave this place some stars, even though the food was disappointing. I ordered a sirloin steak, and I asked the waiter if the kitchen knew how to cook it black and blue, as it's the way I always preferred it at their other location. He confirmed that they do, but when I got it, it was just cooked rare. As a matter of fact, I was okay with it until I realized it was cold. And I'm not talking about it not being just-off-the-grill sizing hot. I mean, it was colder than the ambient temperature in the dining room. Yes, black and blue means it's burned on the outside and rare on the inside, but it doesn't mean it's served cold. I tried one corner and one middle piece just to make sure I was not crazy, and explained to the waiter the situation. He was very understanding and said they'll take care of it. After about a 5 to 7-minute wait, I got it back. It was the same steak but slightly rearranged. Guess what you should do to a rare stake? RIght. You should not try to heat it up. I ended up with a well-done steak, which I don't like at all. I wasn't alone and didn't feel like ruining the whole evening for my friends, so I just decided to let it go. Though, that's definitely not what I expect when I pay almost $50 for a dish. I'll never revisit this place or recommend it to anyone.

AMAZING menu. A welcomed change! Funny and friendly staff. Small plates and drinks to match. Sooooo gooood! As a local, welcome to Newtown Ardana! See you again soon.

Incredible Ambiance the moment you walk in. The staff is incredibly friendly and the service is swift and considerate. We ordered the Penne Vodka dish to split...CLASSIC. It was by far one the best Penne Vodka dishes I've ever had. My sister agreed. There's a cheesy essence to the sauce, which made each bite extremely savory and flavorful. It's high ceiling, so I thought would be very echoey and loud being seated y the bar, but that wasn't the case. The ambiance was perfect. 10/10

Super friendly bartender good food! Lemon ravioli light and delicious and paired with signature cocktail was a nice dinner sitting at the bar having dinner with my nephew and enjoying a nice conversation with the upbeat female bartender. I recommend this restaurant.

Octopus and calamari appetizer dishes were great but our entree took more than half an hour to arrive. The shrimp I ordered smelled "fishy" and tasted funky I couldn't bring myself to eat it. That's saying a lot for a pescatarian.

I've been to the Newtown location 4 times for lunch in the last 4 months. The food has been excellent and a very good price. The service was great, they were very accommodating since I was 45 minutes early the last time I went. I haven't had any drink at the bar yet but it looks very nice. I'd highly recommend.

If it wasn't for the adorable beautiful pleasant waitstaff this would have been even worse. Basically the food was not done well. Cauliflower appetizer was a bomb. Dried cauliflower steak atop tasteless meager puree. Next lamb chops were tasty but 90% fat. Someone forgot to trim them properly. Potatoes were underwhelming. Never had falafel that was so over fried it was black. Will not be back.

This was my second time dining at Ardana, first with my wife for dinner and today for brunch with a couple we are friends with but my wife was traveling so there were just 3 of us. I loved my first visit which was for dinner, but this time I was disappointed as follows: Positives: The food was excellent and perfectly prepared, as it was on my first visit, 4.5/5 stars for food. The restaurant is also nice and bright. Negatives: We were seated at noon, and although we ordered drinks from our waitress fairly quickly, we did not have our food order taken until 12:30 and food did not arrive until a bit after 1:00 PM (yes, I was looking at my watch). When we ordered drinks we also ordered a bottle of Pelligrino and asked for new glasses as they had already filled the glasses on the table with tap water. Well, although the Pelligrino arrived the cap (not a screw cap) was not removed and new glasses were not brought over. When the manager came over to open the bottle of wine we ordered, we asked him to open the bottle of Pellegrino for us, he did, but never noticed we needed new glasses or that we had put the full tap water glasses at the end of the table to be taken away. So about 20+ minutes passed and we finally had our order taken but still no water glasses however this time I got to ask the waitress (again) for new glasses and she brought them, but did not take the old full glasses away! At some point we finally got rid of the old full water glasses when the waitress came to say she was sorry the food was taking so long (it was nearly 1 pm or a full hour after being seated by this point and it was not that the restaurant was anywhere near full either (perhaps short staffed?). So about a minute or 2 after 1 pm (60+ minutes since being seated) we were served, Hallejuah! To me when you come into a restaurant only partially full for brunch and it takes over an hour to get food that is way too long, and don't even start me up again about the Pelligrino saga. :-) To be honest, I still like this restaurant and will most likely come again but the service was almost comical today!
