27 Best Indian Restaurants near Wayne

“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.“

“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!!!“

“So so so delicious. Wanted to try everything on the menu, will definitely recommend to everyone. One of my all time favorite Indian restaurants.“

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

“Tiffin is a chain of Indian restaurants that my family of ardent Indian food loyalists, have patronized for almost 15 -16 years. The favorite is the location in Bryn Mawr. Our family favorites are the Baingan Bharta, Paneer Tikka Masala, kajoo mattar paneer, malai kofta, Aloo Papri Chaat, samosa chaat, garlic and plain naans and
Peshawari naan. We love the atmosphere and the friendly service from Rudra and team at Bryn Mawr. The only pain I see is the limited parking space at the Bryn Mar location . Definitely recommend this chain for quality of food and service.“

“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.“

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

“Food was amazing but it was a bit pricey. I was craving some traditional halal Indian cuisine and I was hearing great things about this place so I strolled around the corner to see what the hype was about. I got the curry goat, jasmine rice and salad and I was very impressed with the quality and taste.“

“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...“

“I want to thank the owner and staff at the Flavor of India for a wonderful experience using them to cater an event at my church. The owner was very helpful and when I came to pick up the food they had it packaged in a thermal box, on loan, that would keep the food hot for several hours. The food was delicious and the youth thoroughly enjoyed every bite. I also loved the addition of their Papadum. The slight hint of pepper and flavor was so good. Definitely will purchase from Flavor of India again!“

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

“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“

“We love coming here for date nights or takeout. The food is very flavorful and the meat is always cooked perfectly. I recommend the chicken tandoori, palak paneer, and the lamb korma. It is rare to have a stewed dish with such rich flavors while the meat is so tender. They typically decorate for Halloween or Christmas and it has a very soulful and attentive feeling. The staff is incredibly friendly and you can tell they are proud of the food they put out. My only complaint is that the seat backs of the booths do lean back and forth which can be a little awkward but the food and service make up for it in my opinion. If this is a problem you can also sit at a regular table or at a high top by the bar. This is one of those places we consistently come back to.“

“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,“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Had the lunch special with Chicken Chettinah, Dal, Vegetable, Raita, Roti, Rice, Pickle and Dessert for under $11! Everything was excellent and it was basically two meal because I took half home. Staff is very relaxed and the place is super clean. The area definitely has it's fair share of Indian food, but this one is worth visiting for quality and price.“

“We have been to Ekta several times now and it never disappoints. There are many Indian restaurants, but few who offer the combination of excellent food, service and prices. We highly recommend this restaurant. It's not fancy - just delicious and a great value.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 went here for lunch thinking we'd get a buffet. The new owner told us the buffet wouldn't be set up until December, but offered us a tasting menu and WOW was it worth it! The chicken Tikka was some of the best I've ever had, the lamb was rich and delicious, and the Naan....ohhh the Naan! Nice restaurant, friendly staff, affordable and delicious. If you're in the area and like Indian food I highly recommend giving it a shot!“

“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.“
