Excellent high-quality small kosher bakery (entry actually on side street). The bagels are thick and chewy. Some bagels and breads are also sold at Creekside Coop, one-half block away. A neighborhood gem, though some people come a considerable distance. Closed on Sat. and major Jewish holidays.

We on Saturday late afternoon for lunch. The place is small, cure and intimate. Off the main street, so no street noise. We had their coffee, and sandwich, The food was tasty and portions were perfect (neither too large nor too small). Limited menu options but they also had very unique selection of salads. Interesting thing - note the names of dishes. You can make out its a family run business. There was shelf full of cook books. But if you are not seated next to the shelf then you wont get to enjoy the books unless you awkwardly ask look at the shelf over people's food. We tried the brownies. They were very large but dry. I liked their sandwich and southwest soup better.

Expected, A sports bar can and will be NOISY, but that comes with the territory, Bar dirks are adequate and plentiful. Single complaint, Which has been noted many times before to management...CHINCY PAPER STAWS, THAT BASICALLY ARE NOT USABLE...WHY WOULD MANAGEMENT SPOIL THE MENU BY CHEATING ON PAPER STRAWS...GOT ME.............MAYBE SOMEONE WILL WAKE UP. ?????

Casual restaurant serving ethnic inspired cuisine from the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
Reviewed By rtaba285 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This is a small and relatively informal restaurant, but with an excellent staff making interesting and creative dishes. My wife and I shared vegetarian appetizers and entrees, and were pleasantly surprised by the pleasant dining experience. The wait staff seemed very knowledgeable about ingredients. Not an inexpensive meal, but sharing appetizers or meals can keep expenses down. I would like to return again.
7. Keswick Tavern

The Keswick is an excellent stop in Glenside. It is across the street from the iconic Keswick Theater and anchors a redeveloped section of Glenside with several restaurants, taverns and nightspots. The KT as it is known, has good food, an excellent craft beer list and very good service. The main room has a bar in the center with booth surround and high tops. There is another dining area also. Two walls face Keswick Ave. and Easton Rd with garage door windows that can be raised in nice weather for open air dining. There are flat screens everywhere you look for those sports enthusiasts.
We came on a Saturday evening and were able to be seated right away. We had burgers and a couple of craft beers each for the four of us. The burgers are worth it. We had the Boss Hog Nachos. Impressive. The bill was $140 plus tip. Not bad. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly even though it was a very busy night, she was always there to check. This is a place worth the visit and we will definitely return.
8. White Elephant

Reviewed By AuntieFlo - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
I had an appointment in nearby Jenkintown and didn't feel like going home and making dinner. I stopped at White Elephant. I've been there several times before with friends. This time I ordered a cup of coconut chicken soup. The soup was hot in temperature (not spice) and the carrot slices were cut like little flowers. I have always wanted to try the appetizers but because I usually go with friends and we split the check, we all just order an entree. So, I had the appetizer plate with 6 different appetizers and a cabbage salad. The spring rolls were crunchy. You can't go wrong with deep fried tofu. The texture of the chicken satay was a little mushy but the flavor was good. The dumplings were good too although I really didn't like the wrapper on the rice wrapped dumpling. There were 3 dipping sauces to compliment the appetizers. I had enough leftover to have for dinner the next night.

Visited here with my family on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was very busy, and the service subsequently a little slow. No matter, that allowed us extra time for conversation. The facility looks a bit run down: The table finishes were chipped, and the glassware scuffed. I ordered the chicken Florentine Pannini (or should it be "panino?"), which I found well-prepared, but somewhat bland. The rest of our party said their food was excellent and included panini, pasta, and chicken dishes.
10. Marzano Ristoranti

We've eaten brunch outside before, but this was our first evening trip to this restaurant. I am what they call a gourmand, so it's hard to satisfy me. Nevertheless, the buratta was as good or better than my own at home, with well chosen spices, beautiful creamy middle and a drizzle of a balsamic reduction. My red pepper soup was heavenly, clearly home made, and salmon, which can be overcooked or boring, benefited greatly from cumin, tarragon and other spices. I would recommend this restaurant as a solid, authentic choice to anyone in the neighborhood or even further out.
