“Restaurant Review: Hidden Gem in Philadelphia
We decided to try this restaurant in Philadelphia after seeing its great Google reviews, and it didn’t disappoint!
When we arrived, the restaurant was quiet, with just one other couple dining. The ambiance was simple, though the seating arrangement felt a bit tight, and the table was smaller than a standard four-person dining table. However, the experience more than made up for it.
Our waitress, Harwinder, a nursing student, greeted us with a warm smile and exceptional hospitality. She took the time to explain the menu and even served us complimentary onion bhajji, which was a delightful start to our meal.
I opted for the Lamb Karahi and Garlic Naan—my first time trying Lamb Karahi, and it was absolutely phenomenal! The spices were perfectly balanced, and the lamb was incredibly tender and flavorful. My son chose Paneer Makhani and Bullet Naan. While the Paneer Makhani wasn’t as creamy as we’re used to, it was still delicious. The Bullet Naan, however, turned out to be much spicier than expected—truly living up to its name! My son couldn’t handle the heat, so we switched dishes and ordered a Rosemary Naan to cool things down. The Rosemary Naan was a standout—fragrant and perfectly baked.
To finish, we treated ourselves to Malai Kulfi, which was the perfect sweet ending to an already amazing meal. We also appreciated how affordable everything was—the pricing felt very reasonable for the quality of food and service.
Overall, this place is a hidden gem with incredible food, excellent service, and great value. I highly recommend it and will definitely return!
Vegetarian options: Paneer Makhani only we tried.“

“We had booked Veda for our daughter's wedding welcome dinner on 5/3/24. The whole process from the time we contacted them till we had our function was smooth. They were very accommodating to our requirements and went beyond our expectations. If you are looking to have a large gathering I will definitely recommend doing a buyout. We decided on the menu and then we were guests at our own dinner. It is full service. The ambience was good and our guests enjoyed both the food and their awesome selection of cocktails. Gaurav Bhardwaj and Brazil provided excellent service. Did I mention Food? Very Good and Flavorful. We are from Delhi and big foodies, and I must tell you that they superseded our expectations. The décor is very pleasant and we didn't need to do anything additional They provided us two stations for our henna ladies. Our function was a big hit. Check them out for your next baby shower, engagement, birthday function!!!!!“

“Excellent service and food! I loved everything from the samosa chaat, mutton biryani, palak paneer, tikka masala, and the complimentary dessert from the attentive business owner himself. Every thing tasted heavenly and the dish sizes are hefty so you can thoroughly enjoy your gastronomic affair. The owner frequently checked-in on us to make sure the food was up to par to our expectations. 10/10 experience, I highly recommend.“

“First time at this Indian restaurant, ordered the chicken korma, veggie samosa and garlic naan.
All were very good. Well seasoned. I would order the chicken korma spicy next time. The medium spicy level did not have enough heat for me.“

“Quiet when I went on a Friday afternoon.
Food came out quick. Got the chili naan, tandoori chicken, train samosa, and aloo gobi.
Everything was fresh. Nothing was too greasy, felt fresh with the sprigs of vegetables.
Decor was quite new, tables and chairs were nice, clean, and even.
Lots of free parking in the plaza.“

“Saffron offers excellent lunch menu deals. For $10-12, you get a lunch portion meal (Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Saag, etc.) with rice, salad, and a daily accompaniment. Chicken Tikka Masala was delicious, but a little sweet for me. The Lamb Saag was also a little fatty, but very flavorful. Granted this was a takeout order during COVID. We typically prefer dining in to review a restaurant.“

“Lamb Saag was delicious. Paratta bread was buttery and flaky. The coffee was good too!“

“What fabulous and tasty food. We had not been here in quite some time and the food has improved significantly. The naan was the best I have ever had we ordered onion flavored. It was the perfect complement to my chicken tandoori. Service was prompt. Great, casual atmosphere and a lovely date night experience. You must try it.“

“Tiffin has been our go-to for Indian delivery for years. They have good specials, the drivers are super, and they seem really to care to know how the food was. And the food is great -- Kerala Pepper is one of our faves, and their chana masala is better than everyone's.“

“After a graduation, our family had lunch at Ekta. It was at mid-afternoon time, so no one was in the dining room besides us.
The food was very good. We had some Chicken Tikka Masala, lamb, samosa, naan and more.
Service was fine, although perhaps a bit more attention to water refills would have been nice.
The atmosphere was nice and clean. Nothing amazing, but pleasant nonetheless.
The price was what I expected - a little high for me, but I do feel I got my money's worth.
I'd go back again if I'm in the neighborhood.
Parking: 2 hour parking is available on the street. The roads near it though are very narrow.
Not easy to park.“

“Just went with my husband for Diwali - it was our first time here after seeing many phenomenal reviews and WOW! Incredible food, so good that I only got one picture because the rest we were so busy inhaling. The crab cakes are delicious, as is the paneer lababdar and chicken chettinad, which was a taste of home for me. The gulab jamun at the end was delightful.
We will absolutely be coming back!“

“Have been coming here since it opened and although I feel like their Kathi roll size has reduced over time but the taste and quality has not! So i just order 2 rolls now. My favorite are masala paneer and chicken keema. They do scratch that itch, especially after a couple of drinks..... they stay open late“

“We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala (good), Garlic Naan (good but only one piece split in half for $5), Gobhi Aloo (good), Saag Paneer (very good), and Samosa Chaat (very good). Would eat here again but unfortunately the rice was disappointing. Most other places I’ve been to offer a bit more naan than that for $5 and have rice so good I’ve enjoyed it by itself.“

“Stopped by after my son's college visit in Haverford and be wanted Indian food. Very good food! We did get some things to go and the regular naan was a bit hard, but either way, enjoyed it and will return when we are in that area again.“

“Went on 1/30/23. A very well stock store. Reasonable prices. Friendly and helpful employee. Lots of good frozen selections and lots of spices, herbs, legumes, lentils, sauces in jars and spice packets. We made butter chicken for dinner from a spice packet and it was easy and wonderful 20 min meal. Served with naan and samosas for dinner Their prepared foods were not open yet but it clearly has peaked my interest. Will definitely return often. I wish them well!“

“A hidden gem tucked away on Whitehorse pike in NJ, Mamas Indian kitchen & food mart defies easy categorization.
Authentic family experience they make you part of, some people may not be use to how much they make it like your home and there’s here but every aspect about it is great!
Nothing on the menu will disappoint you
This family-owned establishment seamlessly blends authentic Indian cuisine with the practicality of a convenience store and smoke shop. Don't let the unconventional setup fool you – the food here is exceptional and will be the best food you ever ate!
The family's dedication shines through in their homestyle Indian cooking. Their vegan chana masala and dal are standouts, proving you don't need dairy for rich, satisfying flavors. The samosas are consistently crispy and generously filled. Open from early morning until late night, you can satisfy your cravings or grab essentials practically any time, they have early and late hours.
What makes this place truly special is the warm family atmosphere. Generations work together behind the counter, sharing stories and cooking tips while helping customers navigate both their extensive Indian menu and convenience store offerings.
5/5 stars for bringing together the best of all worlds and doing it with heart.“

“I can't write enough good things about cross culture. Food is consistently amazing. Over the last year or two I've been so impressed I'll randomly try new dishes. And I'm so glad I have....I found two of my absolute favorites. The Samoa Chaat is amazing. So is the spicy eggplant and shrimp. And that's not enough touching on my main order! I also highly recommend the Chefs special naan. Lamb korma, chicken cashmere, and paneer masala are staples for us.“
