Great food. Quick service. Only comment is team could just be a bit more organized - but their only fault was asking if we wanted to order anything by 2 different servers within 5 minutes. But the attentiveness was there. So kudos!

I love this neighborhood gem serving Cypriot food! Always fresh, tasty, and delicious 😋 the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The lamb kebab never fails and the hummus is one of the best! Try their watermelon salad, super refreshing especially in the summer! Not to mention they have one of the best outdoor patio in town! Highly recommend

A neighborhood gem! BYOB. It’s definitely not fancy but it’s super cute, the food is really good, well priced, and the servers have such great energy! You can tell all of the workers are really passionate about the restaurant!

Kanella is a fantastic find! It’s a cute, quiet spot that has a great energy once it picks up. The "small plates" actually come in very satisfying portions. The Food: • Shepherd’s Salad: Refreshing and fresh. • Seared Halloumi: A must-order! Eat it while it’s warm to enjoy how the flavors melt together. • Adana Kebab: Tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. • Baklava: A classic, delicious finish. The service was excellent even as they got busy. Slavjanka took great care of us, and the rest of the team was quick to assist. Highly recommend!

Great Atmosphere and not to loud. For apps we got the halloumi and brussels sprouts and for mains we got grilled Seabass and the beef kebabs. The seabass was very fresh and the beef was tender and full of flavor. Everything was great and I would say the portion sizes leave you full but aren’t overwhelming.

Wonderful food and service. Be aware, grab a bottle of wine before you arrive! They will open it, but they don’t have any on the premises. The Halloumi was slightly breaded and amazing. Trade menu find.

We tried the tasting menu and overall it was a really nice experience. For appetizers, the Muhammara was excellent—rich, flavorful, and definitely a highlight. The cheese rolls were okay, nothing special, and the kibbeh was a bit underwhelming. The seared halloumi, however, stood out—it was very flavorful, and the addition of apricot and dates was a really nice, well-balanced flavor. For mains, we got the ribeye cap (served as beef cubes with pilav rixe), which was really good—well-cooked and flavorful. We also tried the levrek (fish), which was just okay in comparison and didn’t stand out much. For dessert, the kunafeh was really good and a great way to end the meal. The baklava, on the other hand, was disappointing, honestly one to stay away from. Overall, a solid tasting menu with some standout dishes, especially on the appetizer and dessert side.

Kanella Grill is hands down one of the best Greek restaurants I’ve tried in Philly. I can’t lie everything was amazing. The menu has a beautiful mix of Greek with Turkish and Mediterranean influences, and you can taste the quality in every dish. From the appetizers to the main courses, everything was flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying. If it’s your first time trying Greek food, this place will not disappoint at all. I would 100% recommend it.
