    We have been here a few times and we usually order the chef’s selection which is the best way to try many different tapas from the menu. Great restaurant, great service and great tasting food.

    Amada Philly exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern elegance. The service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. Now, the food—absolutely phenomenal! Every dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. The jamón ibérico, gambas al ajillo, and pulpo a la gallega were standouts, but honestly, everything we tried was exceptional. The paella was rich, aromatic, and perfectly cooked, and the selection of Spanish wines complemented the meal flawlessly. Whether you’re looking for an intimate date night, a celebratory dinner, or just an unforgettable dining experience, Amada Philly is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back soon!

    Our sever was not the nicest. When I asked about the Sunday night special she was rude and I did not like her tone when she said it was not available. Then we got the wrong drink and she argued with us that it was correct. And then finally decided to take it back. At that point we were going to leave, but we were able to order something else. She did not apologize on either occasion. It left a bad taste in in our mouth for coming back to your establishment. We came from Delaware looking forward to this and this spoiled our experience
    Amada PHLResponded on February 4, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear about the service you received. We deeply regret that our server’s tone and the drink mix-up impacted your visit, and we sincerely apologize for both. We will address these concerns with our team to ensure they are properly handled in the future. We truly value your feedback and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to offer you the exceptional experience you deserve.
