47 Best Indian Restaurants near Upper Darby

“We were in Upper Darby area and hungry, so I went for a quick grab and ordered chicken Samosas. Very crispy, delicious and full of filling! The size was good, too. We enjoyed it.
The spot is quite far from my place otherwise I would have been dropping in every once in a while.“

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

“I DIDNT WANT TO ONE STAR,
However , I have been to this place, all times of the day , all days of the week, when Google says it’s open, never have I met this place open.
Maybe update business to temporarily closed ?
The phone number you also have on Google doesn’t seem to work ?“

“Best Party hall and grocery store owners everAt first, I visited Dana Mandi when it was in downtown at chestnut street. I had mouth watering Paronthe Makhan naal with a big glass of tea then.After 5 years from that time, I recently tried finding this place out again and learned it got shifted to upper darby. I was traveling back to Newyork from DC with my parents and told them i will get you best quality punjabi tea from this place. To my surprise when I reached there, Sardar ji (the owner) told me that due to huge loss of property due to floods and almost no recurring customer base he had to shut down the food corner :(. I felt sad for their situation and politely asked them for an alternative place near by.He said wait, you are my guests now I will get you all some fresh tea from our kitchen downstairs.We sat in their party hall (which was under construction then and almost done) and he served us delicious tea as his vip guests and not the customers. Later, I also bought groceries for my house since we were heading back after the weekend trip.We felt so much warmth with the respect we received from the gentleman who had such bad time in previous years due to personal and professional setbacks as he mentioned during the conversation we hadI humbly request every one to give them a chance to revive and flourish as another local business in your area.God bless him and his family with health and wealth. I will surely come back a million times if God permits.“

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

“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!!!!!“

“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.“

“Quite a homely experience at this place for me and my wife! We were in the vicinity and suddenly wife was craving Chicken Biryani! We searched up places near us serving Chicken Biryani and found this and we were so glad the taste buds weren’t disappointed! The spice levels were perfect and the taste was exquisite!“

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

“excellent meal, fantastic service, and lovely atmosphere. really enjoyed the french lamb chops! they were out of this world. what a marinade they must use! Other favorites included the garlic cheese naan, the veggie samosas, and of course the butter chicken. It is rich, smooth, and delicious. and don’t forget a mango lassi!!!“

“We’ve been coming here for years. The menu has changed, but the quality has not! From chaat, to lassi, to their desserts… we recommend all of it. One of our favorite places, and we can use uBerEats now so it’s even more convenient!“

“Overall, a 10 out of 10 experience I come here with my family close to about every week. This place brings joy, fun and a little bit of culture I had into our family life. I love Indian food but I love the kind and caring atmosphere more. May Jesus bless you all 💕💐“

“Amazing food and amazing service at a very reasonable price would highly recommend and visit again“

“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!“

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

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

“If I could give this restaurant at 10 stars I would! The chicken tikka masala was DIVINE. The chicken was tender and juicy and it had the perfect spice level( I chose the medium) The garlic naan… CHEFS KISS. The whole meal was worth my while. Will definitely be getting again!“

“My wife and I have eaten in many Indian restaurants and this was by far the best food by far! Parki g is the only nightmare as it is street city parking with meters that cover your plate rather than the spot you are in and apparently only the app works not the coin or credit card.“

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

“We just met Juby and had the pleasure of trying his amazing food at his new Chestnut Hill location. What a fantastic addition to the Market at the Fareway! Everything was so good and we can’t wait to come back!“

“Many years I have been going to this restaurant! The food is excellent. The waitress, Bhawana, is very gracious, attentive, friendly and remembers what has been ordered from previous visits. She doesn't rush the process; has an ease with serving and does so with a most beautiful smile.“

“Best Halal food truck in the city! Even better than some restaurants. 10/10.“

“Amazing food and great service!! 😊“

“Found this gem while visiting Philadelphia! It may sound cliche, but we knew we were in the right place when we walked in and there was a full table of people of Indian ethnicity. The food was delicious and authentic. Plus the portion sizes were huge. We will definitely visit here again!“

“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!“

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

“Was here today and the flavours were amazing and delectable. We had mango lassi, seekh kebab, butter naan and paneer makhani and everything was mind blowing. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area and you shall not be disappointed.“

“more than one instance i/we passed by indian sizzler in the morning and into the night to dine in or walk around the area 🪷

• chicken biryani 🍗 was good and saucy 🧈👌🏻
• goat achari 🐐 achari means pickled, so there’s a sourness to this. i’m not exactly fond of goat, but i do agree it's a bit full of bones 😂
• shrimp sagwala 🦐 spinach is the main ingredient here with coconut milk 🍃
• mango lassi 🥭 classic indian drink to try whenever we go indian“

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

“If you're looking for great food and a casual dining experience, Spice Indian Thai Bistro is the spot! Spice Indian Thai Bistro is consistently delicious!! I hope the Chef is happy there because she/he are doing an amazing job! We ordered Samosa, Saag Paneer, Tandoori Grilled Salmon, Thai Curry, and Vegetable Biryani! All of our food was AMAZING with leftovers to enjoy later!
Thank you for the hard work everyone does to make this dining experience excellent every time we visit!“

“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.“

“Always enjoy the quick and accurate service from Ekta Bryn Mawr. Have also appreciated the host's recommendations on new dishes to try. Favorites include the Khali mirch fish and Dal makhani although we have enjoyed a wide variety of mains and appetizers. Routinely order for take out for the family and it hits right every time!“

“Great food. Great service. Great value.“

“We visited for the lunch buffet and were thoroughly impressed. There was a wide variety of authentic Desi dishes, all cooked to perfection. The spice levels were just right throughout the entire meal, striking a perfect balance of flavor and heat.“

“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“

“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.“

“The best Indian street food in University city, if not Philly. Their indo chinese is delicious specially the hakka chow and chili chicken. Small bites like pao bhaji and pani puri are also worth trying. And they have slice and limca and the best milk tea. The servers are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely coming back again.“

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

“AMAZING tandoori chicken. Not only did it come out sizzling, but the tender was soooo juicy. I ordered it extra spicy and boy, did they deliver. It was probably the best tandoori chicken I've ever had, and I've had a lot of tandoori chicken.
I also ordered the Madras Pepper vegetable curry, extra spicy. It was also very solid. But the tandoori chicken was out of this world. I will most definitely be coming back.“

“Fast, friendly service with quality Indian fare. Who could ever complain?! We had a very small mix-up with our takeout order, but the staff immediately fixed the issue, no questions asked, and even included a complimentary serving of kheer as a gesture of goodwill. If all restaurants operated with such courtesy and professionalism, the world of dining would be a better place! We will certainly be returning.“

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

“This restaurant has incredible Nepali and Indian food - I don't know how it hasn't become super popular yet (I almost want to gatekeep it for myself, but I won't)! The food is just as good as--honestly, if not better--than popular Indian restaurants I've had in NYC. I love the fish pakora and bhindi masala (made with okra) so much and can tell that every dish is made with care. They have tons of variety with lots of delicious options for vegetarians too. As a plus, the waiter in the front of house is always extremely friendly and welcoming. I'm making it my personal quest to try every item on their menu!!“

“We found Nafi Food Express truck in Philly at 34th and Market 8 years ago when my son was craving Indian food after a very long and scary hospitalization at CHOP for RSV. We've loved it ever since! The meat is tender and tasty, the salad is spectacular and the owner is very nice and personable. Most importantly to us, the cart is clean and the owner is proud of his history of cleanliness. If you love Indian food this is THE place to get it. We would rather have this as a treat than some of the fancy Indian restaurants we've tried including Tiffin and Ekta and New Delhi. Plus, the amount of food is fantastic in size.“

“This place has the best food, the pav bhaji is the best I've ever had and they wraps are also great! Robyn was the best!! I felt like she was a one man show running that place with a big smile on her face even when it got a crazy rush of people! She made our day today!“
