Amina is definitely a place Philadelphia needed. My friend suggested it knowing I love some really good food and this menu absolutely did not disappoint. The food was honestly a 10 out of 10. The collard greens were so good and full of flavor, and I got the smothered turkey wings which were amazing. Definitely ask for extra gravy because that gravy is too good not to. My friend got the shrimp and cheesecake pop and the portion size was actually really solid. I also cannot forget the cheesesteak beignets because wow such a creative idea and they were amazing. I asked for the sauce on the side and it initially came out wrong, so I had to flag someone down to fix it, but once they corrected it everything was perfect. Now the only downside for me was definitely the service. We really were not checked on much outside of taking our order and bringing drinks. Anytime we needed something like boxes, extra help, or corrections to food, we kinda had to wave down bus boys or random staff members passing by. A few more table check ins would’ve made the experience so much better because the food itself truly deserves top tier service. Parking can also be a little annoying, but I did notice there’s a garage across the street which helps. Overall though, I absolutely loved this place and I’m so happy my friend brought me here. Even with the service issues, I would 100% come back because the food alone is worth it. I love the drawings on the wall and the place has a cute and cozy feel which we love! Also there’s a Photo Booth! You have to pay but cute touch Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

Happy I got to check out Amina while visiting Philly. We stopped by for brunch one Saturday afternoon right in the middle of a ice and snow storm so it was pretty chill and laid back. I was told that it's usually jam packed and energetic but I appreciated the calm that day. It's a beautiful and welcoming black owned restaurant. I couldn't get enough of the beautiful art and decor throughout the space that added to it's warmth and personality. Our server was sweet and accommodating which we both appreciated. I kept it simple and ordered a cheeseburger and fries and I also tried the deviled eggs. Everything was pretty good. The burger and the fries were seasoned well and tasty. The deviled eggs had a sprinkle of beef bacon on top that gave it a bust of flavor. Overall had a good time at Amina. I would love to come back and be a little more adventurous with the menu next time. lol Meal type: Brunch Price per person: $30–40 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
