45 Best Indian Restaurants near Jenkintown

“The food is out of this world flavorful! A must taste experience. We strolled in today after visiting a shop next door. Everything is clean and has a beautiful feel. The food from start to finish was delish. Sebastian was our server a d he was so helpful with suggestions when inquired about anything. The menus is clear and there is zero quests work. I highly recommend Lillys for a fulfilling meal. This was such a nice surprise!“

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

“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!!!“

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

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

“Chicken tikka masala is 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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“I had gotten lost overnight on A Sunday about a week ago and when I asked for something for my pet who was traveling with me, the staff at Namaste asked me to take a seat and relax, when they had returned with two full plates of basmati and lentils I was in shock I keep you all in my prayers, home safe and Lacie Marie my companion ate half as I knew she would. THEE BEST INDIAN CUISINE AND RESTAURANT TO #DINE ...I Thank You ladies and gentlemen at Namaste. Even the customers were understanding. Beautiful place ?“

“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!!!“

“Many years I have been going to this restaurant! The food is excellent. The waitress, Bhawana, is very gracious, attentive, friendly and remembers what has been ordered from previous visits. She doesn't rush the process; has an ease with serving and does so with a most beautiful smile.“

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

“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.“

“If I could give this restaurant at 10 stars I would! The chicken tikka masala was DIVINE. The chicken was tender and juicy and it had the perfect spice level( I chose the medium) The garlic naan… CHEFS KISS. The whole meal was worth my while. Will definitely be getting again!“

“Amazing food and great service!! 😊“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

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

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

“Food is delicious and the staff is super friendly.“

“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!!“

“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🤣🤣“

“Absolutely the best food in the Northeast area The price is unbreakable“

“I've ordered takeout many times before, but I've never left a comment—until now. I've tried several Indian restaurants, but the food from Kazi's Tandoor & Grill stands out. It tastes excellent, especially the Chicken Biriyani. I have no idea how they make the biriyani rice so aromatic while keeping the fat content so low. Chicken often has a strong smell and aftertaste, particularly when reheated—but not this biriyani. I have to give it a 5-star rating. Honestly, I don't even have the words to fully express how impressed I am with this dish. I'm also curious about the kind of rice they use in the biriyani—it must be top-quality, definitely not regular Basmati.“

“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“

“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.“

“Let me tell yall something, i came here with the boys and absolutely destroyed everything, you're supposed to take a photo in the beginning of the meal but we were not able to wait, the food smelled and looked absolutely delicious. The vibes is nice and calm , i love this spot this is the second time im trying them out and once again they didn't disappoint. CURRY HOUSE FOR THE WIN !!“

“Probably the best Indian food available in Philly definitely worth trying!“

“AMAZING tandoori chicken. Not only did it come out sizzling, but the tender was soooo juicy. I ordered it extra spicy and boy, did they deliver. It was probably the best tandoori chicken I've ever had, and I've had a lot of tandoori chicken.
I also ordered the Madras Pepper vegetable curry, extra spicy. It was also very solid. But the tandoori chicken was out of this world. I will most definitely be coming back.“

“The best Indian street food in University city, if not Philly. Their indo chinese is delicious specially the hakka chow and chili chicken. Small bites like pao bhaji and pani puri are also worth trying. And they have slice and limca and the best milk tea. The servers are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely coming back again.“

“Professional #delicious Curry lamb with limousine long white rice with cilantro leaves and spiced down! Roti on deck and you know how I used it..

“5 stars! The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was amazing! Friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Highly recommend“

“Had the Coconut curry chicken and it was the bomb. Real good authentic Indian food. Spicy but tolerable. Enjoyed it very much.“

“I tried Nafi's over a year ago but I can't believe I forgot to leave a review. The food options are so much more unique compared to the other halal carts near 33rd & market. Chicken biryani and butter chicken are great. The owner is also a very nice guy.“

“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“

“I DIDNT WANT TO ONE STAR,
However , I have been to this place, all times of the day , all days of the week, when Google says it’s open, never have I met this place open.
Maybe update business to temporarily closed ?
The phone number you also have on Google doesn’t seem to work ?“

“Good food and atmosphere.“

“This restaurant serves delicious South Indian cuisine. I’ve been here many times and have always loved it. The food is consistent in taste, and they offer a buffet on weekends. However, it’s best to check on the buffet before planning a weekend visit.“

“The best Indian food we’ve had in Philadelphia. Must must go 🥳“

“Best Party hall and grocery store owners everAt first, I visited Dana Mandi when it was in downtown at chestnut street. I had mouth watering Paronthe Makhan naal with a big glass of tea then.After 5 years from that time, I recently tried finding this place out again and learned it got shifted to upper darby. I was traveling back to Newyork from DC with my parents and told them i will get you best quality punjabi tea from this place. To my surprise when I reached there, Sardar ji (the owner) told me that due to huge loss of property due to floods and almost no recurring customer base he had to shut down the food corner :(. I felt sad for their situation and politely asked them for an alternative place near by.He said wait, you are my guests now I will get you all some fresh tea from our kitchen downstairs.We sat in their party hall (which was under construction then and almost done) and he served us delicious tea as his vip guests and not the customers. Later, I also bought groceries for my house since we were heading back after the weekend trip.We felt so much warmth with the respect we received from the gentleman who had such bad time in previous years due to personal and professional setbacks as he mentioned during the conversation we hadI humbly request every one to give them a chance to revive and flourish as another local business in your area.God bless him and his family with health and wealth. I will surely come back a million times if God permits.“
