    Apricot is an absolute gem among an already-ridiculous Philadelphia food scene. The staff is phenomenal, the food is authentic (and cheap), the atmosphere is great and the location is perfect. We either eat-in or get takeout once a week and will never stop. 5/5/5/5/5

    Fabulous traditional Armenian/Mediterranean tapas. We had the mezze for two and it was so good I finished my leftovers for breakfast. The muhamara is a must!

    Apricot Stone is the BEST mediterranean restaurant in PHILLY; for the most authentic, consistently simple and delicious food. Price is fair, BYOB and almost feels like you are somewhere overseas. Great friendly service! will always return!

    Food was incredible!! We got the "dinner for two" deal for $85, which is a little bit of everything. It was a great deal that left us stuffed! It was also a nice August night and we got to sit outside on the pedestrian alley. It was a busy Saturday and the staff was rushing around but we still felt attended to. Highly recommend!

    This gem of a restaurant offers everything from friendly staff, great tasting authentic food, and wonderful ambiance. Definitely a place to remember and return! The staff were very attentive and the menu is very easy to choose from. We selected an assortment of appetizers and mezzes. Everything tasted fabulous! The rice pudding desert was a fantastic treat!!!

    The food was absolutely incredible! We had the spanakopita and cheese boreg to start and had to resist ordering more as to not spoil our dinner. We each did a entree plate and could not stop raving about it. The falafel is some of the best I’ve had in years and was even better combined with all the sides! I cannot wait to go back!!

    They charge a FLAT $3.95 credit card usage fee, which they DO NOT even tell you of in advance, be it on the menu, verbally, or otherwise! I will NEVER EVER frequent this establishment EVER again, and I will make sure to spread the word! A 3% credit card fee is the industry norm! Never have I ever seen or heard of a FLAT fee of any kind, let alone an outrageous one of $3.95!

    Wonderful menu choices, very attentive server, everything was delicious! Only disappointment was that the platter with skewer, rice pilaf, and 2 sides, was presented with the rice and hummus and baba all kind of mixed together.

    Exceptional time - the dinner for two is one of the best values in the city but also not just a great value but every dish is delicious - we can't recommend enough. It was our first time eating inside post-pandemic vs outside or take out in the past and its so intimate, quiet and great service. We will be back soon!

    Fresh, delicious, authentic and a great menu. The servers are lovely and a huge plus it's BYOB. I absolutely love the Tasting for Two option. You get so many excellent dips with pita, spanikopita, the Cheese Boreg (I could eat 5 of these) and the skewers and dessert. Can't wait to go back!

    Delicious, authentic Mediterranean small plates. The Manti dish was one of the tastiest, most unique dishes I've had in a long time. I would go back for that alone. A little small on the inside, but they offer a nice outdoor seating area with plenty of foot traffic for people watching.

    My husband and I enjoyed EVERYTHING that was brought out! We did the Taste of Apricot Stone option, and WOW. There was so much food we even had some leftovers. And the desserts were also amazinggg! I am looking forward to going back, hopeful that we get the same waitress since she was very helpful and kind :-) but I’m sure everyone there would be just as great!
