   My husband and I I were visiting from out of town and we’re so glad we chose to have dinner at Amina. The food, service and ambience were wonderful! If we ever get back to Philly we’ll definitely visit this fantastic restaurant again!

   The experience was 15 out of 10. The owner was very hospitable and the staff from top to bottom was 5-star service. The decor and atmosphere was amazing and the food was a chef’s kiss because everything was delicious. One of the best spots in Philly hands down!

   Great new space BUT the service was nonexistent. Music is way too loud and the food is not great. The catfish was all batter, the grits and the deviled eggs had no flavor. The best thing I had was a side of collard greens and the peach cobbler. Wouldn’t revisit but I wish them the best !

   We got our food before we got our beverages. Our server barely checked in. French toast was served without syrup then when we received it, it was cold. Bacon was brought out without the rest of the entree then we had to wait at least 20-30 minutes for the entree after the side was brought out... our server never took accountability and the owner pretended to be oblivious. The bartender was the hostess, another server and also running plates to other tables. I won't be back and I'm sure the people I dined with won't either

   Overall everything was nice the ambiance the food and service. Only thing was my food never came out and i wasn’t told they ran out of what i ordered until my friend received his food. Because It was late and they were closing soon i just shared his food with him. I do suggest having some kind of system where the kitchen can communicate with the waitresses if something is out to avoid this happening. Also if taking ride share type in the actual address not just Amina’s because It will take you to old location.

   Amina is one of the best restaurants in the city. Its move to northern liberties only enhanced the experience.

   Severely understaffed, overpriced and overrated. Arrived on time for our 7:30 Saturday reservation and was seated about 5 or so mins after arriving. The waitress promptly took our order, which we gave in entirety: a cocktail, Pepsi and double shot of D’Usse, cheesesteak beignets for an app, oxtails entree, short ribs and grits entree and a side of collard greens. The DJ was great, but it’s obvious he’s there to pacify the people. You won’t get too frustrated waiting forever for your food if you have some good music flowing. We got our cheesesteak beignets about 40 mins later and our drinks (my cocktail was mediocre) at 9p after asking for them a second time (the bar was backed up said the flustered waitress). We were given no refill of water in the meantime. Our waitress, one of three, was too preoccupied with the other birthday party she was serving. We got our entrees at 9:13!!! Food pic timestamps. My boyfriend’s oxtail WERE COLD and unappetizing. My entree was great, although the meat could have been a little more seasoned (counting on the watermelon sauce). The collard greens never arrived to our table. It took so long for our food to arrive, we completely forgot about them (I just signed my bill). I remembered the next day. After I paid our $202 bill, the owner finally came over and asked us how it was. We responded that our expense wasn’t good, especially with it being his birthday. She tried to appease us with shots of tequila. Mind you, he was drinking D’Usse. Such a bust. Severely understaffed, overpriced and overrated.

   The ambiance and decor of the restaurant is unique and beautifully designed. Our sever was great and explained the menu and gave recommendations. The food came out piping hot and was delicious. I will definitely be making another trip to this place.
