• Mediterranean • Center City

Named after the bird that populates nearly every port along the ancient maritime spice routes, Spice Finch pays homage to a passerine that does not sing, yet is known to vocalize or chirp in recognition of good eats. We are inspired by the distinctive flavors of the nations bordering the Mediterranean Sea, and heavily influenced by the cultures and culinary traditions of Morocco and Greece. Our menu is a bold, seasonally accurate menu featuring an array of small plates, vegetables, grilled meats and fish. Follow us on Instagram @SpiceFinchPhilly

    We saw this restaurant on TikTok and wanted to try it out. Right when you walked in it smelled so good and the ambiance was amazing and unique. Bar was placed on the side towards the back which gave the dining area a more free flowing look. Our seat placement was cozy but the table was a little small once plates and drinks were on it. Food came out free flowing which was nice. The gyro dumplings were our favorite and also the spicy spread with pita. We got a lot of food for a great price. We will be back. Thanks

    Absolutely one of the best meals we have ever had. We were recovering from a cancelled concert and came in demoralized. Josh and the team provided lots of kindness and good cheer. The drinks were robust and the duck wings and lamb ribs so tasty. Everything was served on savory sauces or dips. Try the garlic yogurt! Creations of a creative chef.

    I was there on Christmas Day evening. It was very busy and both the Kitchen and the front of the house did a really good job. My server was prompt and very attentive and my food arrived quickly and was hot and of good flavor yet I did not feel rushed. I live in the neighborhood and will definitely return.
