The Deets:

• BYOB: Feel free to bring your favorite wine or beer to complement the rich, grilled flavors of the kebabs!
• Cost: We will plan to order some shared appetizers and Somsas for the table to sample a variety of tastes, and then everyone can order their own entree. Please anticipate the total cost to be approximately $35-$45 per person (including tax and a 20% tip). To make bill-splitting easier, please bring cash .
• Allergies: If you have any allergies or dietary restrictions, please let me know as soon as you RSVP so I can inform the restaurant in advance.
• Important: I will send a confirmation message a day or two before our visit to finalize the headcount. If your plans change, please update your RSVP to "Not Going" promptly. This allows those on the waitlist to join us and helps me adjust our reservation accordingly.
• Parking: Café Rokhat is located at 2481 Grant Avenue in Northeast Philly. There is plenty of parking available in the shopping center lot, making it a very convenient spot for our group!
