Shtetl Kosher Restaurant — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Horrible ambiance, looked like a funeral home. The music was not only too loud but bad and distracting. The Smell of cigarettes permeated the restaurant the whole time we were there. We waited about an HOUR AND 45 MINUTES for our food. Not only that, but we didn’t get any bread or anything on the table until about an hour in, after which one of the members of our party asked for something.

I actually liked the food, but when we took my father-in-law for his 70th birthday, there was another group there that were very drunk. The drunks came over to our table, and when we told the staff, they ignored us. The drunks then went to the stage and blared extremely loud music which made my infant daughter cry. When we told the owner, he chased us out of the restaurant. I guess if you are a sot who enjoys a club like atmosphere when dining, this is the place for you, but keep your...
