50 Best Indian Restaurants near Lafayette Hill

“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.“

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

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

“Amazing food and great service!! 😊“

“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!!!“

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

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 We are from Delhi and big foodies, and I must tell you that they superseded our expectations.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

“My daughter ordered food from here last night, for her birthday and we were so pleased. The food was just so delicious. The authenticity 💯 The spice was good. I like that they gave options for the spice levels...yes hot & indian spicy! We definitely will recommend this place 👌🏽“

“My mom and I came in here for an early dinner and we were blown away. There was no one in there except for us, but the service was phenomenal. Very kind wait staff. We ordered a chicken vindaloo and chicken Tikka masala, a side of naan, and two mango lassis. Everything was delicious. At the end the waiter came out with some rice pudding for us to try on the house and now I'd say it's worth getting every time.“

“Went here for a Sunday lunch with my friend, I can’t say enough how amazing and fresh the food was and service was impeccable certainly will be coming back!“

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

“The food was delicious, very generous portions, and the service was very attentive. It was a little bit warm in the restaurant, but it was a particularly muggy night and there were a lot of people. I was there for a private event and it was a wonderful experience!“

“Its more like a takeout. Doesn’t have great ambience for sit down meal. A quick but absolutely delicious meal if you wanna eat there as they do have 2-3 tables with chairs. I would highly recommend for Pakistani food flavor and taste.“

“Chicken tikka masala is 10/10“

“Tried this place for the first time based on a friend's recommendation and was pleasantly surprised. The butter chicken had a rich, well-balanced sauce, not too sweet like some places tend to make it, and the naan came out warm and slightly charred in all the right spots. Portions were generous enough that I had leftovers for the next day's lunch. Service was a little slow to start, took a few minutes longer than expected just to get water and menus, but once our order was in, food arrived at a decent pace. The restaurant has a cozy, dimly lit interior that felt intimate rather than cramped. Spice levels were customizable, and they didn't hold back when I asked for medium-hot, which I respected. Only minor complaint is the background music was a touch too loud for conversation. Would definitely return to try more of the menu.“

“First time I’ve ever tried Indian food. I had the butter chicken, shrimp korma and cauliflower bezule. Everything was delicious!“

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

“Aachi becomes my favorite Indian restaurant in town. I absolutely love South Indian food and their Dosa is amazing. Weekend buffets are exceptional! A lot of variety of dishes and also drinks like mango lassi! I have had their buffet every Sunday since they started it 😆 They have different menu each time. I wished I took photos.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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“

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

“Got a large catering order from Spicy Marsala for an event, Shiblu was very accommodating and prepared a great variety of food for the event which everyone loved! Their Samosa's in particular are excellent and their sauces for the samosas, naan and tikka marsala are amazing, looking forward to trying more items on their menu!

Their dessert naan (Peshwari Naan) is also a great finishing touch to a meal or a great late night snack“

“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!!!“

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

“Oh my goodness, this place was delicious! I cannot wait to eat here again! The man working was very kind and friendly and helpful!“

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

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

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

“I am SHOCKED at the quality of this humble food truck. The samosas, chili chicken, and saag paneer are as good or better than many local Indian restaurants —fantastic flavors and ingredient quality. The kindness and pride in her work of the woman behind the meal is also wonderful to see and so much appreciated. The affordable prices also mean I can make this cart a regular addition to my takeout rotation. Note — because everything is fresh it does take some time to prepare, I would say more than your average cart. I wouldn't at all let this deter you from grabbing food here, I would just recommend calling ahead.“

“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.“

“My husband and I have been ordering delivery and takeout from Curry Leaf for a couple months now. We both agree it is the best Indian restaurant we've had the pleasure of regularly ordering from, after having other regular spots in Boston, NYC, and Philadelphia. The Hyderabadi Biryani is to die for, and the Tikka Masala is also fantastic -- ask for extra spicy! I find the goat is particularly outstanding, flavorful and always tender.

One of the things that we particularly appreciate is that they are very responsive to modification requests, like omitting cilantro.“

“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.“

“Had the lunch special with Chicken Chettinah, Dal, Vegetable, Raita, Roti, Rice, Pickle and Dessert for under $11! Everything was excellent and it was basically two meal because I took half home. Staff is very relaxed and the place is super clean. The area definitely has it's fair share of Indian food, but this one is worth visiting for quality and price.“

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

“Nice atmosphere. Attentive service. Excellent food. Great value. What more do you need?“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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