Onam Sandhya buffet was excellent. Nellai halwa stood out as my favorite. All dishes were fresh and light. Highly recommended.

Quality and taste has gone down every time I visited this place since the original owner or the chefs. This time Ambur briyani was a total disappointment and there was nothing Ambur about it. Mysore masala dosa tasted like pretzel without salt . All chutneys (coconut) and sambar gone bad , the waiter said the sambar was made too thick and they had to do something with it, but still we were served with that !!!. This is similar to my prior experience visiting their other restaurant Kaanchi. Mango Lassi was okay, it was served in a single use kid size plastic cup as against a large glass. I would not be returning ever again.

Absolute favorite restaurant in the area. The service is always excellent and I've have yet to taste a dish that wasn't excellent. Great for GF eaters as well.

We had such a wonderful dining experience at Manam today! Mr. Vadhan took such great care of us, his kindness and genuine hospitality truly made us feel welcome. The food was served hot and every dish was absolutely delicious. Even our picky eaters couldn’t stop raving about it, which says a lot! It’s rare to find a place where both the food and service exceed expectations, but Manam did just that. We’ll definitely make Manam our go to restaurant whenever we’re in PA again. Highly recommend!

Four of us went there last Friday evening leveraging their BYOB option :-) - Had an incredible experience with their service and the taste of the food. We started dining at 7.30pm and went on until 10pm. We were not rushed, were not pushed to order the food. The ice was provided in a bucket and got it refilled every now and then without even asking for it.
Food that we had: Gobi 65 & Monchow soup Pallipaalayam Chicken Mutton sukka Ambur Biryani Panneer Podina Tikka Idiyappam with Veg Kurma
Couldn't rate anything less than 5 star. Amar & Vadhan were top notch in their service. A MUST VISIT spot. Just counting the days for our next visit

Amazing Authentic Indian food!!
What an incredible dining experience! It felt so good to finally enjoy truly authentic Indian food after such a long time. The parotta was perfectly flaky and soft, and the chicken curry was rich, spicy, and absolutely to die for.
Their Thalapakatti biryani was packed with flavor and had the perfect aroma — every bite was a delight. The aapam was soft and fluffy with just the right texture — simply top-notch!
The service was outstanding and welcoming. The ambiance added to the overall experience. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving genuine Indian flavors. Can’t wait to visit again!

Manam impressed us with both their vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes—everything was flavorful and well-executed. Their Indo-Chinese selections were excellent, and the parottas were some of the best we've had in the area.
We recently used their catering services, including live dosa and appam stations, and the experience was fantastic. The team handled setup and cleanup efficiently, and the service was top-notch. Amar did a great job coordinating everything and was highly professional throughout the process.
We truly appreciated their attention to detail and would absolutely use them again.

Walked in on a random Monday night and were blown away by the food! Their chicken 65 is drier than what we’re used to but still super flavorful! The appam with chicken curry was 10/10! Super happy with our dinner and experience.

We had our daughter’s very first birthday party here. Amar and his staff provided excellent service and the food was delicious! Thank you for the hospitality and for making this day one to remember. One of the best Indian restaurants in Chester County hands down! Thank you

A Culinary Gem in Pennsylvania - A Must-Visit! As owners of Spicy Lanka in New York, we have a deep appreciation for authentic and flavorful cuisine. Our recent visit to this Pennsylvania gem was nothing short of exceptional, and we were genuinely impressed by the quality and care evident in every dish. Our children, usually picky eaters, devoured the butter chicken with naan and the dosa. What struck us immediately about the dosa was its distinct, beautifully fermented flavor – a welcome departure from the often commercialized versions we encounter. The kids absolutely loved it, a testament to its genuine taste. For us, the standout was a goat dish from the appetizer menu, which we requested spicy. The explosion of flavors and the expertly balanced spices were truly mouthwatering. It was the kind of dish that leaves a lasting impression and has you craving more. To top it off, the fresh watermelon juice tasted as if it had been squeezed on a bustling street in India – pure, refreshing, and bursting with natural sweetness. Hats off to the chef and owners! Your passion for authentic flavors shines through in every bite. We were so impressed that we've already decided we'll be back for that incredible goat dish before heading back to New York. This will undoubtedly be our go-to spot whenever our travels bring us to Pottstown. Keep up the fantastic work!
Asked for Dum Biryani for takeout. Was given pulao with some pieces of meat in it. Then felt sick the whole night. This place has hit rock bottom. If you don’t have a certain item just say no rather than cheating the customer. Quality has gone down tremendously

I ordered Hyderabadi goat dum biryani and Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani at Manam via UberEats, but I got pulao filled with oil, and the meat tasted the worst. It’s a total scam in the name of dum biryani.

Amazing experience. Loved the food, the service and the quality. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants an authentic South Indian food experience!!

The quality has gone down drastically!! We ordered a family pack of Veg biryani, it was so unlike a biryani…thick and watery rice, felt bit uncooked. Total waste it was.
