27 Best Indian Restaurants near Ambler

“A great new restaurant in Ambler. Great food and good service. We will return!“

“Amazing little place right in the Heart of Ambler. I usually always get the chicken over rice but everything on the menu is delicious. The owner is super friendly and always looks out to make sure his customers have the best experience. Highly recommend!!“

“Just got takeout for the first time last night and it was DELISH. Do not skip the tandoori lamb chops.“

“Fantastic food. Great spot. Would recommend to anyone.“

“So so so delicious. Wanted to try everything on the menu, will definitely recommend to everyone. One of my all time favorite Indian restaurants.“

“A gal pal suggested we try out the new restaurant. It was EXCELLENT. I had lamb saag. She had mango chicken? We tasted each other's food and just giggled. We had the smoothie and Indian Coke drink- both awesome. The dining room is TINY but the table settings are works of art- fancy napkin sculptures and elegant, playful silverware & dishes. The onion stuffed naan was exquisite. Our server was attentive, polite and answered our questions without hostility or offense. The spices are ON POINT. Their system of personally developing everyone's plate is outstanding. I discovered that I am a wimpy +2 while my friend is a +3. Trying both our food with the varying heat/spice ratios, I could enjoy and taste all the flavors without having my tongue burned off, lol. My ONLY complaint, which has kept me from trying them in the past, is that to order and pick-up take-out, you must use their back door which I find to be creepy and dangerous looking. So I guess I'll only go when I can eat in, using the front door, LOL. However, I was impressed when we asked for our leftovers to be packaged, our server gave each of us free complimentary fresh bismati rice to go along with our uneaten entrees. They give good portions! And the packaging is washable, reusable, recyclable plastic containers- not cheap carboard that soaks up sauces or scary unstable thin plastic that leaks or horrible styrofoam that should be outlawed. THIS RESTAURANT IS WONDERFUL!“

“As an avid fan of Indian cuisine, I decided to give Tiffin Indian Cuisine a try. Following my usual approach when visiting a new restaurant, I opted for some of the simplest and most traditional dishes: vegetable samosas as an appetizer, chicken tikka masala for the main course, and rice pudding (kheer) for dessert.

The service was prompt—my food arrived within 10 minutes of being seated. One thing to note: you have the option to either sit and wait for a server or order at the counter.

Starting with the samosas, they were quite good overall. Made traditionally with peas and potatoes, the only slight drawback was the strong presence of cumin, which slightly overwhelmed the other flavors. While I know cumin is common in Indian cuisine, I found it a bit too dominant here. However, the three accompanying chutneys—peach, tamarind, and green chutney—were delightful. The peach chutney was my favorite, offering a perfect balance to the spices in the samosas.

The chicken tikka masala was exactly what I hoped for. It was prepared traditionally and the flavors were spot-on. There’s not much else to say—it was a solid dish, well-executed and flavorful.

Unfortunately, the meal ended on a slightly disappointing note with the kheer (rice pudding). Kheer is supposed to be creamy and sweet, but this one was watery and lacked the usual richness. It tasted mostly of milk, with none of the complexity or sweetness that typically makes kheer so enjoyable.

A few additional notes about the restaurant itself: their QR codes on the tables didn’t work, which was a bit frustrating. Also, their website could use an update, as it didn’t reflect the full menu that was available in the restaurant.

As for the atmosphere, it was fairly simple and didn’t scream "Indian culture" in an overwhelming way. The decor was plain but featured subtle touches, like Indian photography on the walls, which I personally enjoyed. While the space didn’t feel overly themed or immersive, the minimalist approach worked well enough to create a relaxed dining environment.

Despite these minor setbacks, I would still recommend Tiffin Indian Cuisine to anyone looking for a traditional Indian food experience. I’m looking forward to seeing their improvements in the future.“

“We just met Juby and had the pleasure of trying his amazing food at his new Chestnut Hill location. What a fantastic addition to the Market at the Fareway! Everything was so good and we can’t wait to come back!“

“Food & Service were great!“

“My go to Indian food place in Philly. Ekta is the best! I’ve tried others and none compare. The saag paneer and the lamb/chicken tikka masala taste amazing. Their mango lassi that they pre-make is a nice side to the meal.

Although there are tables in the restaurant, it isn’t really a sit down place. Something to be mindful of if you are looking for a sit down, dining experience.“

“EXCELLENT!! Everything was excellent! The atmosphere, service, and especially the food!! I eat a lot of Indian food. The Sultan on Main Street in Lansdale is by far the BEST Indian food in the area!!! ✨???✨“

“Delicious food!!! My favorite so far is the chicken soup, mouth watering authentic spices and herbs, it so delicious!!!“

“We LOVE this place. Manager Happy Grover always takes great care of us and the food is amazing. I’ve tried most everything on the menu and haven’t found anything I don’t enjoy. I wholeheartedly recommend Nirvana!“

“Rakesh just dropped off lunch for the ER staff at Chestnut Hill Hospital! On the house! Thank you so much Tiffin and Rakesh!“

“Outstanding food and customer service. As good as any upscale Center City restaurant.“

“Went for lunch - we didn’t have a huge amount of time, but we didn’t have to worry because things came out so quickly! It was all presented well, tasted delicious, and the server was so kind. The fried cauliflower was a highlight of the meal!

Dietary restrictions: Had good veggie options as well as dairy/gluten free!“

“I've been going to Palace of Asia since they've first opened close to 20 years ago. Always good quality, always good service. We moved about an hour away but still try to come back when possible. Didn't know about the fire and accidentally went to old location, they were so nice holding our reservation while we figured things out. They even texted us directions.Great food and sweet people!“

“If you enjoy classic dishes from India & Nepal, or if you're a first timer to this culinary experience, make the Nirvana brand your paramount dining destination in the Philly region. Eat-in or take-out you won't be disappointed.“

“Indian Grill made a 3-tier white cake for our engagement ceremony -- It was everything I was looking for in terms of design and covered in fondant. It was also delicious, complemented by our guests. Thank you!!!“

“Good food and great service, come check this place out!“

“The food was good, excellent customer service. But the portion size was really small, I ordered butter chicken with rice ($17) and it came in these containers…. I was surprised. I think the portion is really small for the price, other than that it’s a great place.

Side note: I had eaten a potion of the butter chicken (both the rice and butter chicken was filled to the top)“

“The food is amazing so much flavor“

“Great dinner here Friday for both meat eaters and vegetarian! I will BYO good Wine next time!“

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

“Always enjoy the quick and accurate service from Ekta Bryn Mawr. Have also appreciated the host's recommendations on new dishes to try. Favorites include the Khali mirch fish and Dal makhani although we have enjoyed a wide variety of mains and appetizers. Routinely order for take out for the family and it hits right every time!“

“I ordered my first with some hesitation, but it was worth it. I ended up ordering from this place like 3 time this week. Tried vijaywada biyani, gunpowder dosa, chicken kottu parotta, and some other non veg curries. They were all so yummmm. Also ask them for their special talapakattu biryani (goat). OMG Its not made with basmati rice , but tastes 1000 times better than most of biryani i have had.“

“My wife and I ate there last week and it was fantastic! All was great, but the fried tilapia appetizer, the naan and curried goat were especially remarkable. Prices were very reasonable and the chef/ owner was charming. I'd give it 5 stars“
