The Best Restaurants in Narberth
None of these nine is more than a few minutes from the Narberth train station. The walk home is for arguing.
Narberth keeps its kitchens close — most inside the few blocks around the train station — and holds opinions about every one. So do we: a Woodbine Ave BYOB that a lot of the town saves for anniversaries, a corner pub by the station with a burger to match its beer list, and a Haverford Ave dining room named for a pillowy Yemeni flatbread. Publishing a ranking here means hearing about it on the sidewalk within the week, which is the idea. We walk slowly.
Ryan Christopher's BYOB
The small Woodbine Ave BYOB where Narberth marks its birthdays and anniversaries. Bring a bottle that can keep up with the occasion.
Great American Pub
Narberth's corner pub right by the train station, with a long beer list and a burger built to match it. Loud on game nights, easy on a weekday.
Evviva Restaurant
Italian on Montgomery Ave that swings between weeknight pasta and full banquet-hall celebrations. The room can host your cousin's reception and still remember your usual.
Malooga - Mainline
A Middle Eastern kitchen on Haverford Ave named for malooga, the pillowy Yemeni flatbread. The catering side stays busy, which is the neighborhood telling you something.
Srinagar Indian Cuisine
Kashmiri and North Indian cooking on N Essex Ave, named for Kashmir's summer capital. The rogan josh and biryani get top billing, but the vegetarian half of the menu is genuinely deep.
Pholosophy
Big steaming bowls of pho, plus banh mi and rice plates, on Haverford Ave. The name earns the groan; the bowls earn the forgiveness.
Coco Thai Bistro
Thai cooking in the middle of the Haverford Ave restaurant row, from curries to pad see ew. The steady sit-down a few doors from the pho and the gyros.
The Greeks
A longtime counter spot on Haverford Ave for Greek plates, hoagies, and pizza. Order the gyro; the walk home is exactly the right length.
Star of David Kosher Grill
Grilled plates and Middle Eastern staples from one of the few kosher kitchens on this stretch of the Main Line. You don't have to keep kosher to justify the trip.
