Great food, and great service. Went at 9 on a saturday, and the place was not that full, but the…read moreservers were very kind, especially accommodating a 5 person walk in. Immediately, let us know what they had run out of. Ordered the hummus and falafel, fries, and chai for the table. All of which were delicious. The falafel was crispy, and fries well seasoned. Everyone liked the food they ordered. All the entrees came out in stone pots, with big enough portions that we could have also gotten a couple entrees for everyone to share instead.

Thanal is our go-to spot for Indian takeout, but we finally dined in for the first time during…read moreRestaurant Week. It felt like the perfect chance to try some dishes we don't usually order while getting a good deal. Overall, the Restaurant Week menu was a solid value (up to $18 worth of extra food). While the dishes we ordered didn't quite beat our usual favorites, everything was still tasty. The restaurant itself is clean and well ventilated. It's also baby-friendly--they have high chairs, and although it can get a bit loud when busy, our little one didn't seem to mind at all. Big bonus points for convenient onsite parking with validation. It was freezing out, so being able to park and walk right in was a huge plus. The staff were very professional. One dish came out undercooked, and our server fixed it immediately. The Restaurant Week drink specials were just okay--I'd probably skip those next time. Since Thanal is already a regular in our takeout rotation, we'll definitely be ordering again soon. I'd also happily dine in again during the next Restaurant Week.

Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 4/5 Parking - Street Parking Atmosphere - The restaurant is on the smaller side, but they did a great job maximizing the space they have. The ambiance and decorations are a very nice touch, and everything feels clean and well kept. Service - Even though we came on a Friday without a reservation, they were able to seat us within 20 minutes, which we really appreciated. Overall, the service was excellent. What We Ordered - Plain Paratha - which was not as good as the paratha I have had at other restaurants Saag Paneer - which was very good Lamb Karahi - which was also very good Final Thoughts - I would definitely come back if we are in the area again to try more items from the menu.

Located in a solidly residential neighborhood, Nirvana appeals mostly to the take out trade but…read moreoffers 4 tables for those so inclined. Street parking is available but it is probably better to walk or ride the bus. The rather humble decor contrasts with the clean tablecloths and cloth napkins suggesting a grander venue. The menu is quite extensive, including Balti, Hakka noodles, many goat dishes, and other relatively uncommon items. Vegetarian items are prominently featured. Since we were the only diners, service was excellent. All items, including the Chicken tikka masala, lamb roganjosh and chicken Balti were excellent. The mild spice level was barely noticeable, letting the complex spicy flavors and umami tastes shine through. The naan was also soft, chewy, and flavorful without the characteristic charring often encountered. We found the prices moderate although others might differ. All in all, a satisfactory experience worthy of a high rating.

After craving for Tandoori chicken, I came here with a group of friends for an early dinner today…read more I must say that the dish was nothing short of amazing since the piping hot chicken pieces served on the sizzling plate was exactly what I wanted. The other dishes our table also ordered include Gobi Manchurian, Chapati Murg Tikk, Murg Adraki, garlic naan, onion naan, butter naan, butter chicken, Malai kofta, and Lachha Paratha. While I loved everything, butter chicken was my favorite. Butter naan was also melt-in-your-mouth good, and I simply couldn't get enough of it. What also tops the experience overall was the Mango Lassi drink. For some reason, I never got to try this drink until today. At the first sip, I couldn't believe how good it was. I soooo loved this slightly sweet, tangy, and aromatically wonderful mango drink so much that I must have more of it at the next chance I get. Service here is no frills yet adequate and professional. Our server was helpful in catering to our needy requests (we had to return butter chicken back initially since it was too spicy), and he definitely ran the show solo as he's the only one who manned the dining area while we were there with another table today. Since the place is a bit small and cozy, I liked that it provided an intimate setting for a get-together with friends or family. I wouldn't mind returning to Saffron to try out more of their other dishes soon.

I wasn't even that hungry, but we tried the masala dosa and goat biryani, and both were excellent. I can confidently say this was one of the best dosas I've had.

Definitely worth stopping by if you're in Philly and craving South Indian food.

Parotta was fluffy and freshly made. Mutton was spicy, cooked to perfection. I visited during rush hour. The server messed up one of the items in my order, but was quick to bring the correct one.
