“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 We are from Delhi and big foodies, and I must tell you that they superseded our expectations.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 had the chicken tikka kebab, mutton dum biryani, and chicken boneless biryani. Everything was flavorful and well-cooked. The kebab was juicy and perfectly spiced, and both biryanis were aromatic with tender meat and delicious taste. Overall, a great Indian food experience! Loved it.“

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

“Taste of Punjab is an amazing spot! I’ve been here twice within the last 1-2 weeks. I finally got to try the Pani Puri (which sells out fast), it’s so tangy and refreshing!
Everything is delicious here, and they cook with fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, chiles, etc) picked from their window-sill garden!!!

Chicken Samosas are 🔥
Garlic Naan is 🔥
Pani-Puri is a must try 🔥
Lamb Chops are a must have 🔥

Customer service is 💯 Sam & Jasmine are so friendly and kind!
This small family-owned establishment is a hidden gem!!“

“Visited Ruchi on the way home from the Jersey shore with my family and was pleasantly surprised. We arrived very close to kitchen close (we called ahead to ensure that we could eat at this time) and Desmond and the other staff were incredibly kind and understanding making sure our food would be served hot upon our arrival. The food was spectacular, my parents both ordered onion masala dosas (pictured) as well as the gobi manciurian and I ordered the chicken dosa combo which was way more than I could handle but delicious as ever. Delicious food, fantastic staff, approved by my family and I!“

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

“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😋“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this place woondal“

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

“Absolutely delicious. The best service, food, and timing. My favorite Indian in philly.“

“What an awesome experience!The attention to details and our waiter was amazing! He explained every detail and also had great recommendations and answered all of our questions with a smile. I am looking forward to dining there again. What a great team!“

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

“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.“

“Took a pit stop here while on our way to Atlantic City. We ordered Saoji chicken curry and Goan chicken curry. Very authentic taste of Saoji chicken and goan curry. Bhakari was as soft as it gets. Loved it. Highly recommended“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“My husband and I love Gagan Palace. Their food is absolutely amazing. Always fresh and flavorful. The new owners are extremely pleasant to talk with and you can feel the love they have for the restaurant. We will definitely be returning on a regular basis“

“Absolutely fantastic every time. I usually get the lamb vindaloo, baingan bharta, paneer makhani and veggie samosas. The samosas are incredible, and you can’t go wrong with any of the curries, they’re all so good. Plus they actually give you enough rice. 10/10.“

“buena comida y buen trato al cliente“

“Love this restaurant! I was a fan when they were in Dallas, PA so I came to check out the Philly location! Food is awesome, service is great and the restaurant is beautiful. Highly recommend!“

“Always working to improve and enhance the guest experience! Lovely food. Lovely people. Go see them.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“So delicious. It truly is home cooking - you can taste the love! Nothing fancy - I had chana masala and a plain paratha - but perfectly spiced and prepared. Looking forward to driving over from Philly with friends and sampling more dishes soon!“

“We had a catering order. Food was great tasting with nice quality and good quantity of meat. All of our guests were full of praises! Highly recommend for authentic desi food.“

“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.“

“Edit: I've updated my review with 5 stars as I got a quick response that this location is within the Italian place. I'll update the review once I place an order next time.

I'm slightly confused. I'm sitting at this address and there is no store selling biryani or gyro!
Is this a ghost kitchen? Online order only? If so, please update the description as I drove 20 miles to get here.“

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

“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!“

“Truly authentic tasting food with reasonable portions. It is the type of restaurant where you really savor each dish rather than trying to consume huge amounts of food.“

“I’ve tried quite a few Indian restaurants, and Curry Leaf Indian and Nepali Cuisine is the only one that keeps bringing me back. In fact, this is the second time I’ve ordered the exact same combination: chicken biryani, vegetable samosas, raita, and gulab jamun.

The chicken biryani is excellent. What makes it stand out are the cashews and golden raisins mixed throughout the rice. They add a wonderful balance of textures and flavors—crunchy, sweet, savory, and aromatic—making the dish feel more complex and satisfying than your typical biryani.

The vegetable samosas are equally impressive. The pastry is fried to perfection: golden, crisp, and wonderfully crunchy without feeling greasy. They’re the perfect starter or snack alongside the biryani.

For dessert, the gulab jamun is absolutely delicious. Soft, rich, and soaked in sweet syrup, it’s like biting into a delicate sponge filled with honeyed goodness.

Don’t skip the raita. This cool yogurt-based accompaniment is the perfect complement to the biryani. It balances the spices beautifully and ties together the crunch of the cashews and the sweetness of the raisins, creating a harmonious bite I also appreciate the value. This order easily lasts me four meals, making it an excellent deal for both quality and quantity.

Curry Leaf has become my go-to spot, and it’s one I’ll continue ordering from again and again. Highly recommended.“

“Tiffin is truly something special. I’ve been blessed to have been introduced to this place back in 2013/2014, and since then I’ve returned on many occasions, always bringing along my foodie friends and family so they can experience it too.

The food is consistently outstanding — rich, authentic, and deeply satisfying. I’ve traveled to India myself, and I can honestly say this place does justice to Indian cuisine. The flavors, spices, and attention to detail feel genuine and respectful of the culture, not watered down.“

“I've been eating from the trucks in this area for 5 years now and Nafi Food Express has become my favorite truck in the area. First, the owners of the truck are particularly friendly and generous to people in this area. Next, I absolutely love their chili chicken over rice. It is extremely flavorful and quite spicy. It's a refreshing and lighter alternative to the heavier foods served by trucks around this area. I can't recommend this dish enough. I also enjoy the $1 naan. I consider it a pleasure to recommend this food truck to people in the area.“

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

“I ordered catering for a small party, the food was delicious and everything was on time and affordable. Their service was very satisfactory and I would definitely order from here again.“
