Knishes And Dishes - Lafayette Hill

Food is really good but the take out service is terrible. They don?t pick up the phone and when you walk in to order a simple sandwich takes 30 minutes. If you eat in, it?s great. Take out?.not so much

Our experience at Knishes and Dishes was horrible. We won't be coming back, and I don't think you should either. Our server was a lady with grey hair dyed purple, who did not actually greet us at the door. Usually, you expect to meet an employee after entering the restaurant, tell them how many to be seated, and then you are shown your seat. Instead, with a mouth full of food, she wordlessly waved at us from the back of the restaurant and pointed at a table. Throughout our experience at the restaurant, she was actively chewing with her mouth open. Beyond that, the level of cleanliness was far below even basic standards the table was sticky with some kind of food, the menus were dirty and wet, and there were food particles flying from the waitress's mouth when she tried to speak to us through mouthfuls. That an employee was eating in front of us is unacceptable by any food safety standard. We had close friends highly recommend this restaurant and had brought us there as a treat, but it saddened us to have to leave our table before even ordering. Instead of taking our orders, she was socializing with other customers, eating throughout the dining room, and completely ignored us when we were ready to order. After waiting around for about 20 30 minutes, we decided to leave and were disappointed that we couldn't eat what was probably great food. The friends that had brought us there recognized this employee from the past, and they agreed that, though this was indeed related to her usual behavior, this was egregious, even for her. In order to avoid this terrible experience, I recommend that you request a different waitress should she be serving you. From a food safety and customer service perspective, I hope that her behavior changes or the restaurant hires a different waitress.

The customer service was great! The seating was fast during peak time. My fiance and I went on a Sunday morning. Our server was very friendly and patient. The food was very good. I had the pancakes and turkey bacon. I will return. Quality food at good prices. The atmosphere was very nice too.

OMG. The food here was so good. And the portions were amazing! We totally stumbled on this place, we were hungry and just saw the sign and pulled in. The outside is nothing to speak of, but then we went in and it was packed! Always a good sign. I guess locals know how good and authentic the food is, but I'm here to tell all you travelers that is definitely worth seeking out. If you are looking for authentic Jewish favorites you will find them! I had the loaded latkes (picture) and couldn't finish although it was so good! My husband had a western omelette (picture). Atmosphere is nothing fancy, but it was clean.

We have a kick from our fun server, Sharon, who had much to do! The other staff was also nice despite too busy. Eat delicious! Unfortunately, they ran out of the knits and Latkes we wanted to try.
