Enjoy a byrek crammed with a creamy mix of ricotta, feta, and parmesan. And for your sweet tooth? Grab the baklava. Fans of international foods would be remiss to pass up these goodies, so be sure to hit up Authentik Byrek the next time your stomach’s rumbling. Or, better yet?

Asian Fusion

Slurp Philly doesn't just love eating ramen, they love making fresh ramen and serving it to the good people of Philadelphia!

They take ramen seriously and believe everyone deserves access to fresh quality food prepared with care.  

They love it. They make it.

They bring it to you!
