I’ve been coming to Lovash with my boyfriend for years. The first time we came, probably in 2002, the kitchen was a griddle and a tandoor in the front of the downstairs. There were maybe 3 tables for eating in, no tablecloths or flatware set out. When we told them we’d be eating there, they quickly added a tablecloth, china, flatware, and even a candle and a vase. Who doesn’t love that kind of service?

The food was delicious. I like spices, but not necessarily heat. I get different dishes every time, but I am always drawn to ones that contain coconut milk, ginger, raisins, or mango.

In the years since that first visit, they have expanded to 2 floors, and the kitchen no longer takes up most of the space. It seems that many people in Philadelphia have really come to enjoy the flavor, service, and reasonable (not massive) portion sizes at Lovash. It should also be noted that my boyfriend is a self-proclaimed cheapskate, but he finds the prices at Lovash to his liking.

Well, I guess my first review for Menuism was more of a foray into nostalgia than a true food review. I’ll try harder next time, remember what I ordered, take note of subtle flavors, etc. Until then, I recommend anything with coconut milk, ginger, raisins, or mango.
