I have tried a bunch of different Indian spots around Philly and this one was decent, not the best. We ordered chicken tikka masala and lamb biryani, the tikka masala was good, but the biryani was nothing like what I have tried before at other places. It was good, but super salty and dense, unlike other biryani dishes I’ve tried where the rice is light and fluffy and absorbs the raita to a perfect ration, whereas this biryani almost seemed to create a pasty mess with the wet rice and sauce. I probably won’t go back here. Especially considering Indian food is not cheap.

Honestly speaking, never had a worse Indian meal. I was so looking forward to having Bhindi but it couldn’t have been cooked worse. It was flowy, raw, spices out of place and just really bad, I could even finish a spoonful of it. Next comes the kadhayi paneer, everything was raw, no cooking was done, the gravy was so full of just tomato and it all tasted like tomato and that was it. Naan was undercooked but we managed to finish that. It’s so sad to write this review but couldn’t help myself because I heard great things about the restaurant and it didn’t deliver for sure. If anything you can take away from this review, please never order Bhindi masala, that’s not how it’s made or eaten.

THE BEST INDIAN FOOD IN PHILADELPHIA! honestly I have had my fair share of good Indian food and EKTA is top notch. They also have very good customer service, I usually order from here every Sunday and the one week the Uber driver did not deliver one item and Ekta told me to call next time and they will give me another item since I didn't want to pick it up that night. The next time I called & mentioned it they did what they said they would do. I am also always happy with the quality and quantity of the dishes.

The manager answers the calls and always says yes to all your requirements for example today I asked for some pickles with my DoorDash order, he said yes but will never give. This is the second time like this. Beware of their false commitments.

Malai kofta, Chole and dal makhni are must try. Highly recommended for vegetarian food.

I ordered online for pickup through the first listed option which is called BeyondMenu. I arrived at the indicated time and they seemed confused and unaware of my order, even though the, “track my order,” link indicated that my food was ready. It took another 15 minutes for them to produce my food.

LOVED! The service in itself was quick and our server was great. I ordered the mango chicken along with their naan bread and the food was great. Overall a great experience, I will be returning. Thank you!
