“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.“

“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 ?“

“Highly recommended! Authentic Bangladeshi food, with home like taste. I have been taking out for snacking, on occasions also for regular meal. Tehari, liver Singara, Halims are must try“

“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.“

“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!!!!!“

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

“Srinagar is a small restaurant on a quiet little street in Narberth. I have to say that the food here was excellent! In fact, it was some of the best indian food I have ever had. The dishes were fragrant, fresh, and served piping hot. We highly recommend the chana masala, saag paneer, and fresh-baked naan. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit.“

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

“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!“

“What fabulous and tasty food. We had not been here in quite some time and the food has improved significantly. The naan was the best I have ever had we ordered onion flavored. It was the perfect complement to my chicken tandoori. Service was prompt. Great, casual atmosphere and a lovely date night experience. You must try it.“

“As an avid fan of Indian cuisine, I decided to give Tiffin Indian Cuisine a try. Following my usual approach when visiting a new restaurant, I opted for some of the simplest and most traditional dishes: vegetable samosas as an appetizer, chicken tikka masala for the main course, and rice pudding (kheer) for dessert.

The service was prompt—my food arrived within 10 minutes of being seated. One thing to note: you have the option to either sit and wait for a server or order at the counter.

Starting with the samosas, they were quite good overall. Made traditionally with peas and potatoes, the only slight drawback was the strong presence of cumin, which slightly overwhelmed the other flavors. While I know cumin is common in Indian cuisine, I found it a bit too dominant here. However, the three accompanying chutneys—peach, tamarind, and green chutney—were delightful. The peach chutney was my favorite, offering a perfect balance to the spices in the samosas.

The chicken tikka masala was exactly what I hoped for. It was prepared traditionally and the flavors were spot-on. There’s not much else to say—it was a solid dish, well-executed and flavorful.

Unfortunately, the meal ended on a slightly disappointing note with the kheer (rice pudding). Kheer is supposed to be creamy and sweet, but this one was watery and lacked the usual richness. It tasted mostly of milk, with none of the complexity or sweetness that typically makes kheer so enjoyable.

A few additional notes about the restaurant itself: their QR codes on the tables didn’t work, which was a bit frustrating. Also, their website could use an update, as it didn’t reflect the full menu that was available in the restaurant.

As for the atmosphere, it was fairly simple and didn’t scream "Indian culture" in an overwhelming way. The decor was plain but featured subtle touches, like Indian photography on the walls, which I personally enjoyed. While the space didn’t feel overly themed or immersive, the minimalist approach worked well enough to create a relaxed dining environment.

Despite these minor setbacks, I would still recommend Tiffin Indian Cuisine to anyone looking for a traditional Indian food experience. I’m looking forward to seeing their improvements in the future.“

“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!“

“My go to Indian food place in Philly. Ekta is the best! I’ve tried others and none compare. The saag paneer and the lamb/chicken tikka masala taste amazing. Their mango lassi that they pre-make is a nice side to the meal.

Although there are tables in the restaurant, it isn’t really a sit down place. Something to be mindful of if you are looking for a sit down, dining experience.“

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

“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.“

“Rakesh just dropped off lunch for the ER staff at Chestnut Hill Hospital! On the house! Thank you so much Tiffin and Rakesh!“

“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!“

“Delicious food and best service.neat Nd clean.special thanks to Tina☺️“

“The Tandoori Chicken was a good experience for me. I wasn't expecting the Indian BBQ Chicken meal to be sizzling on a plate for a min.

The Garlic Naan Bread got the right taste to it. It ain't overpowered by Garlic on the Bread.

Lamb Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala & Butter Chicken also got good flavor.

Mango Lassi Drink & the Indian Rice Pudding are a good & light taste to them.“

“Went for lunch - we didn’t have a huge amount of time, but we didn’t have to worry because things came out so quickly! It was all presented well, tasted delicious, and the server was so kind. The fried cauliflower was a highlight of the meal!

Dietary restrictions: Had good veggie options as well as dairy/gluten free!“

“Definitely my dishes local spot for Indian take out. The flavors are absolutely off-the-chain delicious. If you are looking for something warm and comforting while also having mind blowing flavor, this is the spot!!! Top it off with some naan? Amazing. 10/10!“

“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“

“We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala (good), Garlic Naan (good but only one piece split in half for $5), Gobhi Aloo (good), Saag Paneer (very good), and Samosa Chaat (very good). Would eat here again but unfortunately the rice was disappointing. Most other places I’ve been to offer a bit more naan than that for $5 and have rice so good I’ve enjoyed it by itself.“

“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.“

“Me and My Husband Been Wanting To Try Indian Food For The Longest And This Is The Perfect Place! EVERYTHING Was So Delicious! The Atmosphere Was Chillin And Intimate Me And My Hubby Loved It! We Sat At The Bar And They Had The Coolest Halloween Decorations Displayed Around The Bar It Was SO Cool! The Mango Martini Was SO Good! And The Staff Was Very Attentive And Kind! We Will Definitely Be Returning!“

“We are Indian DJs, that get to travel all over America for Indian and Fusion weddings. We are based in Dallas and when we booked another wedding in the East Coast, we started putting a list of places we wanted to eat in Philly.

Many people told us about Masala Kitchen. We were a bit skeptical to try it since we have had so many great Kati Rolls in NY.

Masala Kitchen was great!

We arrived before they even opened and patiently waited outside for 11am so we could enter the restaurant. The person taking our order was friendly and very helpful. I usually ask a series of questions before I order. He answered all my questions and lead us to the chicken Kati Roll section.

We ordered all 3 of the chicken choices. Masala, Keema, and Tawa. They were all good but if I had to rank them it would be Masala, Tawa and then Keema.

The next time we are in Philly, we will be back here for sure.“

“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“
