Refills, little extras, thoughtful touches--anything that could have made us feel more comfortable and cared for was brought to the table. And then the food. Absolutely delicious. Cozy, generous, flavorful, and exactly the meal you want on a rainy night. Indian Grille turned an ordinary Thursday into something genuinely special. We left full, happy, and already looking forward to coming back

Needed some late night eats and called to see how late the kitchen was open. They said 9:15 pm,…read morewhich is not bad for a Monday night. Fresh and tasty dishes came out quickly. Onion kulcha bread was very good and stuffed with a delicious tasty onion mixture. The aloo gobi with cauliflower and potatoes was very fresh, not overcooked and had such flavorful herbs. The bhindi do pyaza was a sautéed okra dish with onions. It wasn't quite as good as the aloo gobi. Lamb sag was in a good sauce but the meat was a bit overcooked and tough. As far as the service and ambiance, it was mediocre. Not very friendly and they were spraying cleaner on the next table as we were eating that had a very strong smell that interfered with me enjoying my meal. The mithai, the candy bowl at the door, was the highlight. It was a really unique mix of candied fennel Seeds with a little salt and I think candied rose petals. It was fabulous.

Oh no. I gave this place 3 tries in recent weeks after I had a worse experience than in the past. I…read morethought my first bad experience could have been a fluke, so give it a couple more tries to be fair. And sadly experience has only got worse. And now I see they have changed their name slightly so I guess it's under new management. Before I knew it as "Jyoti Indian bistro" but they've replaced bistro with "kitchen" and added the "Nav". Unfortunately in these last three visits, the food hasn't been as good. This last time has been the worst so far. It looks about the same, but when I ordered saag paneer, I received maybe 30% of the amount of cheese cubes that I used to get (they used to have all of the cubes in a separate cup and would cook them per order and the dumped soooo many in.) this time however, I watched him fish out a few floating in the spinach sauce but then just went for spoonfuls of the sauce only. Upon tasting, most of that warm seasoned flavor with the tanginess is all but gone. It's like there are no Indian spices to make it hot anymore, it tastes like spoonfuls of black pepper only. Really disappointing! None of the drinks on display were cold. They used to have tons of drinks in the refrigerator with the closed door and the open refrigerator shelf on the customer side. Now there are hardly any drinks in either, and none of the refrigerators are running. They had several Plastic 20 ounce bottles of Pepsi. At the time of ordering I thought the refrigerator in the back was working, just without a light. So I ordered one of those Pepsi's. Apparently the man working there didn't hear because when he rang me up he did not include any drink. So I had to order a second time for just a drink, and he said they only have Coke that was cold in the back. Why don't they put the Coke out in the front to let people know they have it? Why do they have so many Pepsi's but none of them are being refrigerated in the same place the Coke was? And the 20 ounce bottle was $3.25... Outrageous. As I started to mention, the service has gone downhill just like the food. I don't want to say anything bad about the individuals as individual people. I have nothing bad to say about them personally, but their customer service is poor. The woman who used to work there was so friendly, remembered me, asked how things were. She was easy to understand and she clearly understood me. Now however, these guys didn't really say much, they were very hard to understand, and clearly couldn't understand or hear me since they totally ignored my order for the Pepsi. I ordered the Pepsi twice, to both men. But clearly neither heard the first time. The restaurant was completely empty, there was no music or televisions playing. No loud machinery, and I ordered at the same volume, speed and clarity as I did the food. So why didn't they pay attention to the drink? Expanding on the interior of the restaurant. As I said there was no music, no television on. There wasn't much lighting. Walking by from outside you would be forgiven for thinking they were closed. And it was really hot inside. I understand it's a buffet style Set up, with all the food being cooked in pans in front of you, but it was never this hot before. It's early March - it's not as cold anymore. Certainly not cold enough for the place to run that hot. I AM still happy to have a fairly decently priced quick Indian restaurant in the area. Chestnut Hill and Germantown Avenue have a debilitating lack of fast and easy food. I'm so sick of Wawa and their terrible parking and people asking for money and taking up parking by eating in their cars and the guy from Temple Hospital who comes in and walks around the place around 1pm blasting funk from a Bluetooth speaker. So I don't want people to NOT go to Jyoti. I hope this review helps swing things back to how they were and to offer customers updated expectations of the place. So long story short my negatives from my last 3 visits: - Food tastes worse (tastes like mostly if not all pepper rather than Indian spices) - Employees can't seem to understand English as well and they're also hard to understand - They have no cold drinks on display. And the drinks that are cold are hidden. - Place is too hot. Dark. No atmosphere

After placing an order on Uber Eats for the Mixed Grill, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Biryani & 2 Mango Lassi. It arrived shortly still super hot!! OMG the Mixed Grill was a Grand Slam, which consisted of Lamb & Chicken Kebabs, Chicken Malay, Tandoori Shrimp & Lamb Chops(which were cooked with love) Chicken Tikka Masala was polite and yet very zestful. Chicken Biryani had marinated chunks of tender chicken and blissfully fragrant. Mango Lassi was not to overly sweet and thick! I would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for high quality and yet affordable Indian cuisine. Thank you very much beautiful meal.

I had a samosa and an order of channa masala over rice with a coworker of mine who happens to be from India. While the portions were good, we both agreed that the food wasn't as spicy or flavorful as we would have liked. This is probably because the main dish isn't made to order but is made that morning, so varying spice levels aren't available. Since the owner is just scooping rice and an entree into a container (and keeping naan warm on a flattop), the service is very fast.
