Figs Restaurant in Philadelphia, PA
Exotic is the word that best describes dining at Figs in Philadelphia. The restaurant does exotic well, in an inviting and charming manner. The chef and owner of Figs, Mustapha Rouissiya, wanted to bring a new dining experience to Philadelphians. Mr. Mustapha Rouissaya founded the missing puzzle piece in Philadelphia’s dining scene. Figs combines Moroccan flavors with Mediterranean flavors to create an exciting array of dishes. Ingredients pop off of the menu page, holding the diner’s attention. Who wouldn’t want to try “Sundried Cranberry Couscous” or “Banana Coconut Curry Sauce”? The food is enticing without being intimidating.
What Figs has been able to accomplish in the time it has been open is this ability to create this enthusiasm over exotic flavors. The staff is friendly and accommodating to all guests. The dining room, with its rustic wood, high ceilings, and orange painted walls, is utterly transporting. People will be talking about this restaurant for a while. For a taste of Morocco, a visit to Figs is highly recommended.
