“House of India Exton, PA is the BEST Indian restaurant. Always great food, healthy portions, and friendly/attentive staff. Kudos to House of India Exton, PA.“

“We had an amazing experience at this restaurant! Every single item we ordered was absolutely delicious — rich flavors, perfectly cooked, and authentic. The service was top-notch, with Karthik being warm and attentive throughout our visit. The ambience adds to the charm, making it a wonderful place to enjoy a meal. Truly one of the best Indian restaurants in the Philly area — highly recommended!“

“Delicious Indian food, very reasonable price for the excellent quality!“

“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.“

“We really enjoyed our dinner in this quaint setting. Inside felt homey, the menu has items from different regions in India than we are used to and a lot of traditional options that we haven’t seen at other restaurants in the area and the staff is very friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“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...“

“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“

“Amazing food, very friendly and attentive staff. I will definitely be back!!“

“One of the best Indian restaurants in the area with variety of vegetarian and Non Vegetarian food options especially for the people craving for South Indian food. Service is pretty quick and people friendly.“

“I come from Wilmington almost every weekend just for this food truck’s weekend special pulaos — they’re absolutely worth it! Not sure why they don’t have more reviews because everything I’ve tried here has been amazing. Pretty sure I’ve gone through their whole menu by now 😂

My must-eats: Stuffed Mirchi, Punugulu, Green Chilli Pulaos, and Schezwan Fried Rice.“

“Saffron Indian Kitchen in Wayne has become one of my go-to spots when I’m craving comforting Indian food that still feels a bit special. The vibe is relaxed and cozy inside, with a bright, clean dining room that works just as well for a casual weeknight dinner as it does for a low-key date night. Staff is friendly, attentive without hovering, and the food usually comes out pretty fast.

The menu has all the classics plus plenty of vegetarian options, and they’re happy to adjust the spice level, which is great if you’re dining with people who don’t like too much heat. Favorites at our table have been the chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, lamb dishes, and their different naan, which always comes out warm and fresh. Portions are generous, prices feel fair for the area, and it works really well for both dine-in and takeout when you want something flavorful and satisfying.“

“Great menu, friendly and attentive staff.“

“Choolaah in King of Prussia is a great spot if you’re craving flavorful Indian food in a quick, casual setup. The place has a clean, modern design with open kitchen views where you can actually see the tandoors firing up—pretty cool touch. The menu offers a nice variety of bowls, wraps, and combos, so it’s easy to mix and match proteins, sauces, and sides. The chicken and paneer options are tender and full of spice, and the chutneys really tie everything together.

Service here is fast and friendly, and the staff keeps the place spotless, even during busy hours. There’s both indoor and patio seating, and the vibe stays lively but comfortable. Prices feel fair for the quality and portion sizes, especially considering how consistent the food is. It’s a great choice whether you’re grabbing a quick bite, meeting friends, or trying something fresh and flavorful beyond the usual mall food scene. Definitely worth adding to your rotation.“

“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 loved the food, very authentic I can say. They have a great collection for vegetarian as well as non-vegetarians, especially for chicken and goat lovers. Their naans have unique crunchiness which adds more joy to the super yummy food. The balance of spices and salt was beyond what I could expect, loved every bite I had at this place. Friendly customer service, great atmosphere, highly recommended!!“

“Good restaurant good food good service“

“The lunch buffet is absolutely fantastic! I have eaten at many Indian places on the east coast and this one is great. I do usually go for the buffet, and this one really shines. A lot of Indian buffets have dishes that taste similar, but each item here is really flavorful. Chana Masala I usually pass on, but wow this one was popping with flavor. And a spicy mix of herbs and onion - kind of like an herby dry salsa - haven't seen this before but it was a lovely addition.“

“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.“
