19 Best Indian Restaurants near Lansdale

“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!!! ✨???✨“

“The food is amazing so much flavor“

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

“Chicken tikka masala is 10/10“

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

“We have been to the weekend buffet at Madness of Masala three times this year and that's saying a lot because we rarely go back to places that often. My wife in particular is a huge fan of the buffet and on one occasion, she even got her friends visiting from New Jersey to meet us there so that her friend and her husband - both foodies themselves - could try out the buffet.

*What's* *Great*:

1) Extensive Selection: They have a wide variety of items - both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Something I particularly like is that the non-veg options include mutton - something few Indian buffets seem to include. I believe every time we have been there they have also had a fish item, although I have generally found that item to be an afterthought and not as worthwhile as the mutton item, which is pretty good.
2) Fresh Variety: There's enough variety so even though we have gone back on a few occasions, we have found new items to try. That keeps the place fresh.
3) Good Refill Policy: Unlike several other buffets - Indian, American, Chinese you name it - where restaurants try to keep costs manageable by simply not refilling their trays, these guys are good about refills.
4) Solid Service: Service is good. They are generally good at refilling waters or clearing out dirty plates even if one has to occasionally ask them to do those things because the few staff members there are managing several different activities at the same time, including keeping the buffet trays refilled.
5) Separate Veg/Non-Veg Tables: For anyone going in who is vegetarian, they can take some comfort in the fact that the veg and non-veg items are on separate tables. Thus there is little chance of someone using a serving spoon from the non-veg section of the buffet over to the veg section of the buffet.

*What* *Needs* *Improvement*:
1) Tiny Bathrooms: I find the two bathrooms to be extremely small. In terms of size, they would surely compete with airline bathrooms. As Indian food is generally consumed by one's hands, I definitely wash my hands before starting to eat and occasionally, I will wash my hands in between plates so that I can take my next plate of food more easily. But every time I go to the bathrooms, I have to be very watchful of the tight space I am in.
2) Spiciness of the food: The food here tends to be on the spicier side. For my wife and I who grew up in India, that is not an issue but for my daughter who's lived here her entire life, she does find most items very spicy. On our last visit when I mentioned this to one of the wait staff, he noted that the kitchen would be happy to make something for our little (6-year old) girl upon request.
3) Unclear Pricing: The first time we went there - likely around February 2025, I believe we were charged $20 per person but when we went again in April, we were charged $22 a person. I was unclear of whether the prices had increased in the two-month period (unlikely) or whether the person charging us $22 had simply made a mistake. I JUST checked as I was writing this review and in spite of looking at their webpage and their Instagram page, I still don't know exactly how much their weekend buffet is priced at. They should fix that.
4) No Knives Available: Another minor thing is that they do not have knives and that proved to be an inconvenience for our guests.

Bottom Line:
All in all, this is the best Indian buffet out there - slightly better (although a bit more expensive) than Aman's Indian Bistro in Phoenixville, the only other buffet I know of in the area. On any given weekend, when going out, Madness of Masala is always an option for us as we enjoy the wide assortment of items available.“

“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!!“

“Tried Aloo Papdi Chat, samosa chat, chicken Tikka Roll, chilli chicken, Dhabba Chicken Curry.. ALL are yummy..kids also liked the taste of all these...“

“Not sure how I went so long without knowing this place existed, but I was super excited to find them. The paneer tikka masala is amazing, and the portions are great for the price. I'm also addicted to the onion bhaji, garlic naan, and Peshawari naan. The spice levels are perfect and our servers are always friendly.“

“We did take out from here. Food was very salty and not good at all. Roti was very hard and naan was very thick. We will not be ordering from this restaurant again. We ate here in past but their quality has worsen a lot. Would not recommend this restaurant to family & friends“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“The staff are super friendly and helpful. Food is out of this world! Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a different palette experience 😄 11 out of 10 stars for me!!“

“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“

“Friendly, clean, and delicious. I’m not a picky person, so when I saw that they finally opened an Halal spot in Franklin Mills mall, I was hype. We went here before the movies and the girls were so attentive and nice. Highly recommended. Will come back and it’s my first time!“

“We went here for lunch thinking we'd get a buffet. The new owner told us the buffet wouldn't be set up until December, but offered us a tasting menu and WOW was it worth it! The chicken Tikka was some of the best I've ever had, the lamb was rich and delicious, and the Naan....ohhh the Naan! Nice restaurant, friendly staff, affordable and delicious. If you're in the area and like Indian food I highly recommend giving it a shot!“

“We came as a group of 10 for the Sunday lunch buffet. They had a great range of appetizers, mains both veg and non veg options, as well biriyanis meat and veg. They bought freshly made dosa and naan bread to the table.The food was really tasty.The place is great for the families.We traveled from Bucks, and it was worth it.Lastly, the owners were present. They and the waitress were excellent hosts.“
