42 Best Indian Restaurants near Merchantville

“Aroma is fantastic! Indian cuisine is my favorite food, and I have tried several local Indian restaurants. Aroma is my favorite. The flavors, portion sizes, spice levels, and menu selections are the best. My favorite combo is the chicken makhani, vegetable samosa, cheese naan, and a mango lassi. I feel like the negative reviews are being posted by competitors. I have never had an issue with anything I’ve ordered.“

“Great service, food is very delicious.“

“Excellent food and service! Will definitely be back!“

“Good service Good food“

“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 We are from Delhi and big foodies, and I must tell you that they superseded our expectations.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!!!!!“

“We ordered a large sample of their food: samosa chat, onion naan, Chana saag, lamb Rogan josh, yellow lentils, aloo gobi and raita. All of it was delicious, well spiced, the portions were large, and they gave us rice for every dish. It was enough food to feed four people for two nights with leftovers. My favorite was the lentils. Great place.“

“Came here off the turnpike for takeout. Loved it! Writing the review so I remember to come back. I’ve spent some time in South India and restaurants in the US serving that style of food with fresh ingredients and that special, complex flavor can be hard to find. Ordered the medhu vada, onion masala dosa, tomato curry, and saag paneer. All were great! Word of caution: they are using India-worthy spice levels, so the mediums my spice-loving teenager and husband ordered were more than they bargained for!“

“Everything was absolutely perfect. The food, the service, the cleanliness, and the vibes were all on point. I will be back.“

“Amazing! Do not miss out on this place! It’s our favourite Indian spot to eat. This is authentic and delicious food. The staff is so kind and friendly, making suggestions to suit our taste. They even shared some specialty spicy dishes for us to try which made us feel very special and so tasty! We will be regular customers to this place.“

“Quite a homely experience at this place for me and my wife! We were in the vicinity and suddenly wife was craving Chicken Biryani! We searched up places near us serving Chicken Biryani and found this and we were so glad the taste buds weren’t disappointed! The spice levels were perfect and the taste was exquisite!“

“Rich and diverse flavors from south India! I ordered the Irani Chai (perfect flavorful taste),Manchow soup with chicken, Shrimp biryani, Pachimirchi Kodi Pulao and Samosa chaat. Try the Apricot delight😋“

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

“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.“

“Delicious garlic Naan, Cauliflower appetizer and traditional chicken curry (medium). It was the best I ever had!“

“We've only gotten takeout (haven't dined in yet), but their food is fantastic, and it's always ready for pickup so quickly after we call our order in! Great portions, delicious flavors, so many vegetarian options - this is my favorite Indian restaurant by far. Highly recommend!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service and food were beyond amazinggggg. The atmosphere is clean and inviting. And if I didn’t mention it, The food was amazzzzingggggggggg.“

“I am in town from Utah, and I had three nights to eat out, explore the food scene, and try different restaurants. I’m usually really good about trying famous foods from the region when I travel.

The first night, I tried Spicy Masala not because I was really craving Indian food. In fact, the only reason, I chose Spicy Masala was because it was still open when I got into town, it was close to where I was staying, and mainly bc the Chinese place I originally wanted to go is next door but only accepts Venmo.

But yall, stumbling upon Spicy Masala ended up being one of my absolute favorite things that happened to me all trip!!!

The first night, I got the Mango Chicken. It sounded benign and safe to try as someone who likes Indian food, but is also a complete baby when it comes to spice.

It was SO GOOD. It had chunks of mango and cubed chicken with a creamy sauce that made for a PERFECT sweet and savory combo. I was ENCHANTED.

I thought about that mango chicken dish so much the next day that I went back that very same night. I got the Butter Chicken dish that time, just to change it up a little bit… it was DELICIOUS.

Tonight was my last night in Philadelphia. All day I was so convinced I wanted a Philly Cheese Steak. I had talked about it to my friends and family that “damn it, that sounds gross, but I’m gonna try it while I’m here.”

But again, all day I was just craving more Indian food🤷🏼‍♀️

It started POURING rain on my journey home from the Met, and I capitulated to give my stomach what it so desired. So tonight I got the Coconut Chicken.

Chicken was moist, the sauce was creamy, and that little hint of coconut… OH BOYY. This was my favorite of the three I tried. I am sitting here in bliss.

I was going to take a picture to post on this review, plus I lowkey wanted to save some for breakfast in the morning since I fly out home early, but I immediately sat down to watch my favorite TV show, told my friend she couldn’t poach any from me tonight, and then proceeded to eat whole tub. :))) I did throw in a picture of some garlic naan (a must try, I’m gonna dream about this naan tonight ya’ll it was so tasty), but I didn’t think get a picture of it fresh!

I also have to ado into this review that the boys working are an absolute hoot. The guy at the front teased me good naturedly for being back so soon, but they were all sweet and were excited that someone could love their food so much enough to come back three nights in a row. They work hustling and working hard to get all the to go orders out, but they were still really kind and took the time to chat with me. It was all extremely endearing.

Anywho, I will definitely be back one day to Philly to come to my new favorite Indian restaurant!“

“Great food and fast service! would come here again!!“

“Amazing food and amazing service at a very reasonable price would highly recommend and visit again“

“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.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Coriander in Voorhees for the first time, and it was an amazing experience. The Paneer Lababdar was flavorful and rich, perfectly complemented by the Goat Cheese Naan, which was absolutely delicious. The warm, inviting atmosphere was enhanced by Harman, the owner, who was not only delightful but also incredibly welcoming. As someone who works nearby at Voorhees Pediatric Dentistry, I’m thrilled to have found such a fantastic spot. I will definitely be returning often, both with my staff and my family, to enjoy more of the incredible food and hospitality at Coriander. Highly recommended!“

“Today, July 4, was my first time dining in at Ekta. My older parents and I were looking for a place to eat (and having a tough time finding one!); finally we saw that Ekta was open, though we then discovered that it was due to close in 40 minutes. I am deeply grateful to our server, Owen, for never making us feel like we were inconveniencing the staff by arriving so close to closing, and for going out of his way to help my mom (who has limited mobility) to navigate the steps both when we arrived and when we left. He situated us at a table just next to the door, which was even more helpful. As for the food itself, my dad was delighted with his garlic kabob, and I really enjoyed the Chandrakala (first time I'd ever encountered these dried-fruit-and-coconut dumplings) and our bread selections (Lachha Paratha and Ekta Naan, the latter kind of an adaptation of the Peshawari Naan concept but with black sesame seeds included). My mom and I both guzzled our delicious lassis (mango and pomegranate). Though toned down at our request, the Alu Gobi was still a bit spicy for me, but tasty nonetheless.“

“I love the vibrant colors inside the restaurant and has great seatings and there food was absolutely delicious and it is authentic Indian dish you can ever want and I recommend to also try there beverage called Lassi I never had anything like that drink before and it's delicious and it also good to cool your mouth if you got yourself a spicy dish from them. They also have vegetarian choice which is also good if you don't like to eat meat.“

“Found this gem while visiting Philadelphia! It may sound cliche, but we knew we were in the right place when we walked in and there was a full table of people of Indian ethnicity. The food was delicious and authentic. Plus the portion sizes were huge. We will definitely visit here again!“

“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.“

“The best Indian restaurant. Great and awesome service and very clean n professional. The host Paul Is great. Afghani Chicken with Tikka Masala Sauce and Bullet Spicy Naan is the best combination They have great desert options Must recommended“

“Dinner was delicious and the spice level was exactly as ordered. The portions were huge... I highly recommend.“

“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.“

“The food tasted authentic, was very aromatic, and each meal's spice level was as requested. The food took a bit to make which to me, means it was made fresh!! Well worth the price!!

Vegetarian options: The vegetable korma was very hearty!!“

“It was amazing and nice food. The staff was very friendly and very good environment. Thanks jyoti“

“That tikka roll was mad good. I’m def comin’ back👍🏿“

“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!“

“Absolutely Delicious food! Excellent prices for very generous portions. This is the best Indian Restaurant in my personal opinion. Tonight we got Chicken Tikka Marsala , A Lamb Curry and a Lamb Biryani with 2 orders of rice one with veggies one without. And their Garlic naan rocks!!!! 5*'s from me. I'll be back!!“

“❤️❤️❤️ authentic indian taste they have outdoor seating and they deliver hot food … love it must try“

“Our experience was very good. The staff was amazing. The dining area was empty, my husband and I were the only ones dining in. I assume because alot of ppl like to order their food . But there is nothing like the traditional experience. My husband really enjoy the food and the experience. And he is hard to please🤣🤣“

“We visited for the lunch buffet and were thoroughly impressed. There was a wide variety of authentic Desi dishes, all cooked to perfection. The spice levels were just right throughout the entire meal, striking a perfect balance of flavor and heat.“

“Excellent Kati roll!! Good customer service. I tried their chicken qeema and boti roll and both are excellent with the right price point. Sujal customer service is also outstanding. He goes above and beyond to make sure that customers are satisfied with the food and service. Certainly will go back again.“

“Me encantaron todos los platos que probé, delicioso todo ,“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at King of Tandoor & Biryani House, and it was a delightful culinary journey to this Indian restaurant truly lives up to its name, offering a wide array of tandoori and biryani dishes. Here's my review of the experience: Ambiance (4/5): The restaurant boasts a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a cozy dinner with friends or family. The decor reflects Indian culture, with vibrant colors and tasteful artwork, creating an authentic dining environment. Service (4/5): The service was attentive and friendly, with the staff providing recommendations and accommodating special requests. Our dishes arrived promptly, and the waitstaff was knowledgeable about the menu. Food (5/5): The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the food. We started with the Vindaloo, a spicy and tangy Goat curry. The balance of flavors was exceptional, and the tender chunks of meat (I had chicken) soaked up the rich sauce perfectly. The level of spiciness was just right, offering a pleasant kick without overpowering the other flavors. The Chicken Tandoori Mix was a showstopper. The tandoor-grilled chicken had a smoky, charred aroma and was incredibly juicy. The mix of various tandoori meats provided a delightful variety of tastes and textures. Biryani (4/5): We couldn't visit an establishment with "Biryani House" in its name without trying their biryani. We opted for the classic chicken biryani, and it didn't disappoint. Fragrant and aromatic, the rice was well-seasoned and adorned with succulent pieces of chicken. Overall Experience (4.5/5): King of Tandoor & Biryani House exceeded my expectations. The restaurant offers a great selection of Indian dishes, and the flavors were truly authentic. Whether you're a fan of spicy curries or smoky tandoori dishes, this place has something for everyone. I would highly recommend King of Tandoor & Biryani House to anyone seeking a taste of India It's a place where you can savor the rich and diverse flavors of Indian cuisine in a welcoming setting. I'll certainly be returning to try more of their tempting menu offerings in the future“
