"Located at the 40th Street trolley portal, Renata’s Kitchen on Baltimore Avenue is a West Philly go-to. The restaurant starts serving at 10 a.m. Tuesday through Sunday, offering a mix of Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and American breakfast dishes like shakshuka, omelets, and avocado toast." - Ernest Owens, Kae Lani Palmisano
"The always-bustling Renata’s Kitchen serves up a variety of Eastern Mediterranean fare. Its varied menu features several soups and vegetables (including a creamy tomato cilantro soup), spreads and dips (try the tzatziki or the tahini), as well as smaller and larger plates (with options like Arabian salad, za’atar-crusted branzino, and slow-braised lamb shank)." - George Banks-Weston
"All-day spots require a lot of upkeep: consistent service no matter the hour, and food people want to eat no matter the meal. Renata’s Kitchen in University City has both. It’s open in the mornings when students, local families, and doctors come in with a mission for the spinach omelet and falafel wrap to get them through the day. On the weekends, it’s slower paced, and ideal for peppery shakshuka and comforting lentil soups. From the smoky merguez topped with Moroccan salsa to the slow-braised lamb shoulder in a barberry jus, the food has flair whenever you’re there. " - alison kessler, candis mclean
