13 Best Indian Restaurants near Downingtown

“Spoilt food. I am a regular here and pick up lunch meals often. Food was consistently good until yesterday. Sambar was spoilt and straight away smelled obnoxious. I get it that items like sambar are not made fresh daily but the owners and the chef should have the basic human courtesy to check for quality before selling it. Taste can be off but quality is non negotiable. It is sad that an indian restaurant with good name in the area is going down the drain like this. Never ordering here again.“

“Awesome food“

“Malgudi Cafe feels like home. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. And the food is excellent. The food served at Malgudi Cafe is the food I'm served when I visit my friend's homes in India. It's a taste of India in Exton. The food is prepared to order and is consistently delicious, so I don't mind waiting occasionally. I also appreciate that I can ask any server for help. Anyone carrying a white handheld terminal can add to my order and close my check. It's convenient, especially when they're busy. My current favorite dish is the vegetable uttapam. I spent 3 1/2 weeks in India earlier this year and didn't find any uttapam that was better than Malgudi Cafe. Same goes for the chai - it's outstanding. Do yourself a favor and get to Malgudi Cafe. You'll be glad you did!“

“Not your usual Indian! You’ll be greeted by the chef a very handsome softly spoken man who is very attentive & also very persuasive into letting him take charge of what you will eat. Pleasantly surprised was the outcome after 3 courses & lovely wine. The staff are one step ahead & know your every need from filling your glass to opening the toilet door for you. Lovely just lovely ☺️“

“I had lunch at this restaurant and tried the Jalapeño Gobi 65—it was superb! It tasted incredibly fresh, unlike anything I’ve had before. I also had Mandi, which came with a variety of chicken types, and it was excellent. And also I refer to eat onion pakoda for snacks, Definitely worth trying!“

“I recently visited Fultoo Biryani House, and I had such a great experience that I definitely wanted to leave a review. If you enjoy authentic Indian food, especially biryani, this is a place worth trying. From the food to the service, everything made our visit enjoyable and comfortable.
The first thing that stood out was the food. Everything we ordered came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You could really taste the different spices without any one flavor being too overpowering. The biryani was definitely the highlight of the meal. The rice was cooked perfectly, each grain was separate and flavorful, and the aroma was amazing as soon as it arrived at the table. The seasoning had a really nice balance of spice and flavor, making every bite enjoyable. The portion was also generous, so you definitely feel like you are getting a satisfying meal.
What I liked most was that the food tasted authentic and homemade rather than feeling like typical fast food. Indian food is all about the right combination of spices, freshness, and preparation, and Fultoo Biryani House did a great job with that. The flavors were rich without being overwhelming, and everything tasted like it had been prepared with care.
The service was another big reason we enjoyed our visit. The staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. They were polite, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. They checked on us at the right times without making us feel rushed or constantly interrupted. Good customer service can make a huge difference when dining out, and the team here definitely made us feel comfortable and appreciated.
The restaurant itself had a nice and relaxed atmosphere. It felt comfortable enough to sit down, enjoy the food, and spend time with friends or family. The combination of delicious food, good portions, friendly staff, and a welcoming environment made the overall experience very positive.
Another thing I appreciated was how smoothly everything went. We didn't have to wait too long for our food, and when it arrived, it was fresh and properly prepared. The staff seemed to genuinely care about making sure customers were happy with their meals. That kind of hospitality always makes you want to come back.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Fultoo Biryani House. The biryani was delicious, aromatic, flavorful, and satisfying, the other food we tried was fresh and tasty, and the service was excellent. It's always nice to find a restaurant where you can enjoy authentic Indian flavors while also receiving friendly and attentive service.
I would definitely recommend Fultoo Biryani House to anyone who loves Indian food or wants to try a good biryani. Whether you're going with family, meeting friends for a meal, or simply craving something flavorful, this is a great place to consider.
Thank you to the staff at Fultoo Biryani House for the wonderful food and hospitality. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!“

“My friends and I have eaten at Adyar Cafe several times now. None of us have ever been disappointed. The food is fantastic. It’s my go-to Indian restaurant now.“

“If you're looking for the best South and North Indian cuisine in the area, look no further' Micheali is your ho to Chef
His every dish is packed with authentic flavor and cooked to perfection. The chaat is outstanding, the biryani is incredibly aromatic, the Chettinad chicken is perfectly spiced, the malai kofta literally melts in your mouth, and the shahi paneer is unbelievably silky and rich. The Punjabi dal makhani is creamy and full of flavor, the paneer pakoda is crispy and mouthwatering, and the spicy chili chicken is absolutely delicious.

No matter what you order, he delivers exceptional taste every single time. His consistency, quality, and attention to authentic flavors truly set him apart. I would recommend him any day to anyone who loves great Indian food!“

“5/5 Stars – Absolutely Unforgettable Authenticity!
If you appreciate true Indian flavor, this Bagara Baingan is an absolute must-order.

The moment this dish arrived, the deep, nutty, and spicy aroma of roasted sesame seeds, peanuts, and coconut hits you.

The gravy is rich, velvety, and balanced to perfection—striking that dreamy balance of savory richness with just the right hint of tanginess.

The tender baby eggplants are cooked masterfully; they soak up all the luscious, bold spices while melting in your mouth like butter. Pour rich gravy over a hot bed of fragrant rice (or scooping it up with fresh naan) is pure comfort food heaven.

It tastes just like a homemade feast straight out of Hyderabad. If you're on the fence about what to get, do your tastebuds a favor and order this immediately!“

“Absolutely recommend. One of the best halal restaurants in the area. Highlights include Beef Seekh Kebab, Chicken 65, Chicken Manchurian, and Chicken Tikka Masala. Large vegetarian selection, too-- would recommend Gobi Manchurian and Paneer Tikka Masala. 10/10“
