Takka Grill & Shrimpies 1910 West Cheltenham Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19138

"I ordered a Chicken Ceasar Salad and it was horrible. It didnt have any Parmesan Cheese, large cucumber slices and tomatoes. The chicken was cool. When i called back to ask for an adjustment I wound up on hold for 20 mins! The service and the food were terrible. I would rather starve than eat there."

"The staff & building was a vibe, but the food was not hitting. I ordered salmon, & compared to a lot of places in the city, it was not great. It came with yellow rice, broccoli, & mash potatoes. Gravy which was unnecessary for fish, & a ton of onions (also unnecessary for the dish) & it pissed me off that it was INSTANT powder mash. Maybe the other food is better."

"Hidden Gem! This place got great grilled food! I’ve had a few things off their menu but my fave’s are the beef short ribs and grilled chicken and shrimp platter! Their yams and mash/ gravy are made from scratch and with love. The menu is extensive and their are so many options to choose from. Besides what I’ve posted, I have also tried their butterfly shrimp, crispy hot wings and Mac&cheese. Cons: 1. Parking: You will drive right past it twice before you find it and Google Maps will send you the back way to get there. It’s in a weird parking lot behind something like a bar 2. Location: it’s pretty much a hole-in-the-wall location. Upon going inside, it looks like it’s in the process of shutting down as 80% of the establishment is packed up and just the kitchen is available. You cannot eat-in, it’s strictly “take out” only. When you come, you have to ring a bell to tell them you are there and if your food not ready, no worries, it will be worth the wait. I consider this spot a “hood favorite” as it always hits the spot."

"Ordered shrimpie fried shrimp and onion rings. Always love the shrimp, sauce has a little spice to it. The onion rings had a good taste but not fried hard enough, received soggy."
