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

“I ordered the butter chicken and Roghni naan, and overall, I enjoyed my meal! The butter chicken was delicious, especially the curry, and the naan was super soft and fresh. I'm excited to try more dishes from here and see what else they have to offer!“

“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!“

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

“Amazing food and great service!! 😊“

“I love the food here, it's some of the best Indian/Nepalise food you're going to find in this area. I order it once a week and it's always delicious, flavorful, and fresh. I also very much appreciate how hard the staff works. They're open every day and they work hard.

I've visited every Indian restaurant on the Main Line and this is far and away my favorite.“

“Fantastic food. Great spot. Would recommend to anyone.“

“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!!!!!“

“most reliably delicious and fast delivery in west. everything i’ve ordered here has been incredible - veg pakoras are a must but i love the entire vegetarian menu as well as their lamb dishes and tandoori. you cannot make a bad menu choice at char!!!“

“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!“

“My mom and I came in here for an early dinner and we were blown away. There was no one in there except for us, but the service was phenomenal. Very kind wait staff. We ordered a chicken vindaloo and chicken Tikka masala, a side of naan, and two mango lassis. Everything was delicious. At the end the waiter came out with some rice pudding for us to try on the house and now I'd say it's worth getting every time.“

“The food is excellent!! Service too!! We will be back!! Thank you!!“

“The food was delicious, very generous portions, and the service was very attentive. It was a little bit warm in the restaurant, but it was a particularly muggy night and there were a lot of people. I was there for a private event and it was a wonderful experience!“

“Tried this place for the first time based on a friend's recommendation and was pleasantly surprised. The butter chicken had a rich, well-balanced sauce, not too sweet like some places tend to make it, and the naan came out warm and slightly charred in all the right spots. Portions were generous enough that I had leftovers for the next day's lunch. Service was a little slow to start, took a few minutes longer than expected just to get water and menus, but once our order was in, food arrived at a decent pace. The restaurant has a cozy, dimly lit interior that felt intimate rather than cramped. Spice levels were customizable, and they didn't hold back when I asked for medium-hot, which I respected. Only minor complaint is the background music was a touch too loud for conversation. Would definitely return to try more of the menu.“

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

“First time I’ve ever tried Indian food. I had the butter chicken, shrimp korma and cauliflower bezule. Everything was delicious!“

“Absolutely delicious. The best service, food, and timing. My favorite Indian in philly.“

“That tikka roll was mad good. I’m def comin’ back👍🏿“

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

“Must Try!! This was my first time ordering from here & will not be the last. Tried the Shrimp Biriyani, Paneer Tikka Masala and Dal Mahkni. All three were very flavorful and nicely balanced. Ordered mild and there was a nice tiny kick. Shrimp Biriyani was up there with my all time favorite (My aunt's shrimp biriyani). Unfortunately, they were out of all the desserts on a Sunday night. But I am excited to explore the rest of the menu. HIGHLY recommend. Will add photos next time, was too hungry this time.“

“I am SHOCKED at the quality of this humble food truck. The samosas, chili chicken, and saag paneer are as good or better than many local Indian restaurants —fantastic flavors and ingredient quality. The kindness and pride in her work of the woman behind the meal is also wonderful to see and so much appreciated. The affordable prices also mean I can make this cart a regular addition to my takeout rotation. Note — because everything is fresh it does take some time to prepare, I would say more than your average cart. I wouldn't at all let this deter you from grabbing food here, I would just recommend calling ahead.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Today, July 4, was my first time dining in at Ekta. My older parents and I were looking for a place to eat (and having a tough time finding one!); finally we saw that Ekta was open, though we then discovered that it was due to close in 40 minutes. I am deeply grateful to our server, Owen, for never making us feel like we were inconveniencing the staff by arriving so close to closing, and for going out of his way to help my mom (who has limited mobility) to navigate the steps both when we arrived and when we left. He situated us at a table just next to the door, which was even more helpful. As for the food itself, my dad was delighted with his garlic kabob, and I really enjoyed the Chandrakala (first time I'd ever encountered these dried-fruit-and-coconut dumplings) and our bread selections (Lachha Paratha and Ekta Naan, the latter kind of an adaptation of the Peshawari Naan concept but with black sesame seeds included). My mom and I both guzzled our delicious lassis (mango and pomegranate). Though toned down at our request, the Alu Gobi was still a bit spicy for me, but tasty nonetheless.“

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

“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“

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

“We come to PA regularly and each time we visit it has to include a meal from tiffin, ordering is easy and quick delivery, and the food is delicious, hot and plentiful, well done to you all there,“

“Wonderful local establishment with the most flavorful and consistent curries. Absolutely love the gobi Manchurian. They ask your spice preference on a scale 1-7 which is fab! And mango lassi is delightful. They also have great vegetarian options !! The shredded paneer might be a new favorite.“

“We went for dinner on weekday, place was less crowded. All the ordered food in fabulous taste. Service and staff are too good. Worth trying Breads especially Garlic Naan and starters like Samosa and Spring rolls. Vegetarian curries are too good. Paneer and Navarathna kurma. However, the place and ambiance seems to be outdated, needs some upgrade as I know the restaurant more than a decade.“

“This is hands down the most delicious and best Indian food in delco! Everytime Ive ordered the food and everyone there has been simply fantastic and their lamb masala with garlic naan is to die for! Would absolutely recommend to anyone who likes Indian cuisine!“

“Cathy catered our church crowd of 200 for our minister’s retirement today and the menu of chicken piccata, pork medallions with chimichurri sauce, mashed potatoes and marinated grilled vegetables was perfect! Everyone raved! Her crew was such a help- arrived early with hot dishes put them in our chafing dishes and gave us advice on how best to serve our large crowd. We will definitely use her again-highly recommend!“

“Oh my goodness, this place was delicious! I cannot wait to eat here again! The man working was very kind and friendly and helpful!“

“Sher-E-Punjab’s chicken biryani truly tasted like home and reminded me of my mom’s cooking. ❤ The three chutneys were amazing, and the samosas were delicious too. May Allah bless whoever prepared this wonderful food. 🤲“

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

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

“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.“

“Arrived for a late lunch for my very first visit to Saffron while on a shopping trip to King of Prussia. Am new to the east coast. I eat Indian 1-2xweek and have been to India several times. Meaning, I love Indian food and know what I like. Service was attentive, efficient, helpful with suggesting an entree and servers had very welcoming warm smiles 😊 Ordered Goan Shrimp Curry, Daal-e-bahar and butter naan. Everything was delicious. Will be back and highly recommend!“

“My husband and I have been ordering delivery and takeout from Curry Leaf for a couple months now. We both agree it is the best Indian restaurant we've had the pleasure of regularly ordering from, after having other regular spots in Boston, NYC, and Philadelphia. The Hyderabadi Biryani is to die for, and the Tikka Masala is also fantastic -- ask for extra spicy! I find the goat is particularly outstanding, flavorful and always tender.

One of the things that we particularly appreciate is that they are very responsive to modification requests, like omitting cilantro.“

“That tikka roll was mad good. I’m def comin’ back👍🏿“

“Nice atmosphere. Attentive service. Excellent food. Great value. What more do you need?“

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

“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.“

“It was amazing and nice food. The staff was very friendly and very good environment. Thanks jyoti“

“They have great food ekta Indian restaurant in Philadelphia. They are best.“

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