45 Best Indian Restaurants near Bala Cynwyd

“The best Indian food on the Main Line! Great staff, quality food. They are very accommodating when dining with kids.“

“Great service, food is very delicious.“

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

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 We are from Delhi and big foodies, and I must tell you that they superseded our expectations.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

“Delicious Indian cuisine. I’ve been struggling to find a good Indian restaurant since I moved to the Philly area about 6 months ago, and I mean really struggling. Out of all of the places I’ve tried, Srinagar takes the cake!!! The Chicken Tikka Masala is incredible and is the perfect spice level for a medium. I did only get delivery via a third party service, but would certainly consider eating in next time. Will be eating here again!!!“

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

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

“Chicken tikka masala is 10/10“

“The chicken tikka masala changed my life 10/10 or 5/5 depending on your metric. If you’re on south street and hungry for lamb they have an extensive menu for that as well i also got the garlic curry lamb which I would say rivaled the Tikka masala in ways I didn’t know possible. Eat Indian food on south street.“

“We’ve been coming here for years. The menu has changed, but the quality has not! From chaat, to lassi, to their desserts… we recommend all of it. One of our favorite places, and we can use uBerEats now so it’s even more convenient!“

“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!“

“Always delicious! Go eat in with friends or family, it’s a a great deal for the quality and quantity, and great service.

I’ve been here many times and tried at least half the menu. You won’t be disappointed!

The saag paneer, dal makhani, veggie samosas w/ mint and tamarind sauce, and chicken mali kebab are top of my list right now. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Best Halal food truck in the city! Even better than some restaurants. 10/10.“

“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.“

“This is probably my favorite new restaurant in Conshohocken! In summary: food is great, and the owners are so lovely and everyone truly cares about elevating your experience.

I went for the first time right after they opened, and had a wonderful experience. All of the food tasted great, but what really stood out from that first experience was the service. It’s a true family owned establishment, and it seems like the entire family works here. 🙂 we even spoke with an auntie who had flown out from her home in India to help them during the opening! Everyone stopped in to see what we thought of the food, and make sure we were having a good time. It wasn’t overwhelming, it was just so authentically caring.

In that first visit, we ordered our food spicy, but everything tasted very mild. I did give the feedback to the employees, and they definitely seemed to take it to heart. Since then, we have been back for Dina and have ordered takeout several times. We have ordered spicy, and it’s always been so spot on it’s spice level! It’s the perfect very spicy heat, but not so much that I feel like I’m gonna die if I don’t dip my face in milk. If you like some spice, but not too much, the medium should be perfect for you.

We’ve ordered so many different items. I highly recommend trying their starters, especially if you normally just order curries and skip starters. The chaats and the bhel puri are so delicious and fresh and crunchy. I really enjoy their paneer and lentil dishes, both lentil curries are fantastic. The dal maharani is rich, creamy, and savory and is the best. Their raita is also delicious and fresh. Just try everything!

It’s located well, right near the main street in town. You’ll find both street parking, and a parking lot across the street that is free in the evenings.

With the level of care that the family and the staff puts into the food and your experience, they just can’t go wrong. I’m so excited to have them in town, and I highly recommend you try them out!“

“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!“

“Lunch buffet is amazing. The food is fresh and delicious. The restaurant atmosphere is amazing, just beautiful!“

“Their food is consistently delicious. Highly recommend!!!“

“Tiffin is a chain of Indian restaurants that my family of ardent Indian food loyalists, have patronized for almost 15 -16 years. The favorite is the location in Bryn Mawr. Our family favorites are the Baingan Bharta, Paneer Tikka Masala, kajoo mattar paneer, malai kofta, Aloo Papri Chaat, samosa chaat, garlic and plain naans and
Peshawari naan. We love the atmosphere and the friendly service from Rudra and team at Bryn Mawr. The only pain I see is the limited parking space at the Bryn Mar location . Definitely recommend this chain for quality of food and service.“

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

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

“I recently moved to Upper Darby and was looking for a place where I could eat clean, and this restaurant exceeded my expectations. I ordered the chicken biryani, salmon with rice, creamy spinach, and samosas—everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and truly home-cooked, like it came straight from my own kitchen. It’s such a great feeling to eat out and still feel like you’re eating real, wholesome food. The food was excellent, and the customer service was beyond outstanding. I’ll definitely be ordering again.“

“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 actually stopped by this smoke shop originally to grab some Indian food nearby, but I’m glad I went in — they have some of the best quality vapes I’ve seen around here! The selection is way better than other shops in the area, and the staff was super chill and helpful. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into good flavors and quality products. Unexpectedly turned into my go-to spot!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food and great service!! 😊“

“Good food, very nice people, very comfortable. We will return.“

“I want to thank the owner and staff at the Flavor of India for a wonderful experience using them to cater an event at my church. The owner was very helpful and when I came to pick up the food they had it packaged in a thermal box, on loan, that would keep the food hot for several hours. The food was delicious and the youth thoroughly enjoyed every bite. I also loved the addition of their Papadum. The slight hint of pepper and flavor was so good. Definitely will purchase from Flavor of India again!“

“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 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“

“Wonderful local establishment with the most flavorful and consistent curries. Absolutely love the gobi Manchurian. They ask your spice preference on a scale 1-7 which is fab! And mango lassi is delightful. They also have great vegetarian options !! The shredded paneer might be a new favorite.“

“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.“

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

“Kind and helpful staff. Food is quite good. I encourage you to try it. You will definitely like this establishment.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Nice quaint place to eat in or take out. We had the place to ourselves at 5pm on a Tuesday but there was a steady flow of ppl picking up orders. Acknowledged immediately upon entering. Prices and serving portions were reasonable along with service and wait time. Had the butter chicken with classic naan. My friend frequents this location and others so opted for the chicken tikka masala with the garlic naan. No complaints with this being my first visit to this location.“
