Apricot Stone

I'm seriously in love with this reliable gem of a BYOB called Apricot Stone! ❤️ It's intimate and perfect for a date night or a friend's group dinner. This is Mediterranean cuisine done right. It's cozy, fun, and affordable. ✨ All of that food you saw is their "dinner for 2" tasting that's only $85. Not per person, $85 total! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’m a big fan of Mediterranean food, and I’ve tried many Mediterranean restaurants. Apricot stone just became my favorite Mediterranean restaurant! It’s a small but cozy BYOB place, service was very attentive. I highly recommend the trio for dips. I was there twice last week, both time we ordered trio - just get the first three dips on the menu, you won’t be disappointed! The roasted pepper with walnut is to dye for! Their falafel is flavorful and crispy, nice texture. Grape leaves has a nice balance of sweetness and sourness. I was not a big fan of their cheese dishes though. Personally, I think this place has good quality of food as Suraya without the ridiculously high price. Definitely recommend this place!

I grew up eating Armenian food and was really looking forward to dining here after hearing very good things about it. But I left rather disappointed. Most of the food was not terrible, but neither was it very inspired or noteworthy, especially for the prices. The appetizer portions of the kofta, lahmajun, and borek were small single servings. I have never been to a restaurant before that doesn't serve these dishes in at least portions of 2-3 . The lamb kebab was cooked just right, and the muhamara was delicious. But the jajik was a bit too watery, and the rice pilaf that came with the kebab had a distinctive chemical taste as though it was being stored next to sterilized hospital equipment (probably the worst pilaf I've had in recent memory). The knafeh and baklava were fine, but $4 for a surj is really pushing it. In all, you can get better Middle Eastern fare for a fraction of the price at any number of spots in Philly.

Apricot Stone has really high quality food. It’s very cozy Armenian restaurant on Northern Liberty area. I had hot appetizers spanakopita and kibbeh kufteh. They were really tasty, especially kibbeh kufteh was incredible. I ordered one more because I liked it so much. I had luleh kebab as a main course. It came with white rice, choose of two sides, grilled red pepper and pita bread. I chose lebni and muhamara for sides. Lebni was ok but muhamara was so delicious. Luleh kebab was great also. I got gatnabur as a desert and I liked it. It was Armenian style rice pudding. The restaurant is BYOB and the atmosphere is really nice. They have outdoor dining options also. Service was good and their prices were reasonable. I definitely recommend!

Great food and environment. Outdoor seating was cute and quaint. There's Christmas lights in the hall of the outdoor seating, on a cute street. As for the food, we got the taster menu along with the manti. The manti was pretty good, the hummus came with hard pita (I think I prefer soft pita). The hummus itself also didn't have a ton of flavor. I also prefer a chunkier hummus. The best thing we got was the steak kabobs. Those steak kabobs with perfectly cooked and tender. I haven't had kabobs that were actually good, so I was surprised and happy this place had such good steak kabobs. The rice pilaf also was amazing. For the service, they were fantastic. Checked in just enough, and was helpful when ordering. The waitress was clean and put together, and guided us through our meal. Overall, a great neighborhood restaurant with a relaxed environment. Probably a good spot for large parties.

This place is the BEST. Such a good sneaky find in Philly. The atmosphere is warm and quaint with good music and rich, delicious food. It was good to have some authentic Armenian food again !! (I’m still biased towards my Armenian grandmothers cookie, but this was a CLOSE second 🤤) The waitresses are so lovely and everyone feels like family here. I will for sure be coming back :)
