Our group had traveled from NYC to attend the recent Odunde Festival. Needing to fuel up before the drive back North, we stopped in this lovely spot. The food is worth the ride. From appetizers to entrees, the portions were generous, the food freshly prepared, flavorful and simply delicious. Even the finicky 13 year old in our group devoured their meal. Our hostess was polite, accommodating, and attentive and I really regret not ordering an extra Chicken Masala (or 2!) to relish back home. I would easily consider hopping on a bus from NYC just to enjoy another meal. read more

Love this spot! It's definitely my go to Indian take out in the city. The food is flavorful, they don't skimp, and it's reasonably priced! My only concern is that the chicken tikka masala tastes almost exactly like the butter chicken. You do however have the option to choose the spiciness of the dish so it could just be user error. That aside I still love the place! read more

We ordered delivery from Indian Restaurant. The ordering process was easy and delivery was on-time. All the items we ordered very tasteful and delicious. We went with the tandoori chicken, chicken kebabs, saag paneer, and garlic naans. My favorite was the saag paneer. I just wish the serving size was slightly larger. Note: The on-line prices do not align with all the actual prices we were charged. However, there was not delivery fee for our location. read more

I recently was gifted a large order from this resto and my family loved it! So the restaurant has at least maintained a minimum standard for a long time. I didn't raise my four star review because I can't imagine giving an Indian restaurant more than 4 stars. Just know this is the best Indian food one can get in Philadelphia. read more

We had a fantastic dinner here on Saturday. We were a group of 18 people and I think we overwhelmed them slightly, but the food was delicious and they went out of their way to make sure that we were happy. We were celebrating the lives of two departed friends who had enjoyed this restaurant. Our group brought wine and everyone ordered something different. I couldn't keep up with it all, but I had a delicious lamb korma. It was creamy and flavorful. Other people at the table ordered various dishes, including some tandoori items, a couple of vegetarian dishes and lots of different chicken dishes. They brought us samosas as a complimentary appetizer and we passed everything around. Everything was on point , we all enjoyed the various dishes. The place isn't huge and they were doing takeout as well as serving people who were in house. I think that they have a loyal following. I would definitely return there again if I were in Philadelphia. read more

Decided to try out the neighborhood spot on a cold night & so glad we did! So many options on the menu, but we went classic with chicken tikka & lamb vindaloo with the option for spice level 1-5, my husband chose 4 & was sweating after 5 minutes! The service was attentive, friendly and very gracious - management changed a year ago and this place is doing great! Will definitely be back soon with friends read more

I've been ordering from this place for years. Once upon a time they use to have really good food! And really good service. Not the case anymore. Ordered my food in person all while being the only person in the restaurant! I waited over a F'k'n hour for my food! And the guy at the counter wanted to keep telling it's the order I ordered saying it's a complicated order then gave me some other BS excuse about the tandoori grill not working all which is not my f'k'n problem especially when every guest that came after me got their food before me!! Like are you kidding me!!! I will never come here again!! After waiting over a hour. I told the guy to give me my money back I'm going else where. After trying to convince me the food was coming he finally gave me my money and as I was leaving he gave me the food for free. Get home to cold food eating and mid way through the meal. Something pokes me in the roof of my mouth!!!! A F'k'n wire in my food!!!! I'm soooooooo pissed!!!! This place should close now!! read more

Indian Restaurant - Wire from what? Who knows!! In my butter chicken! - Indian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The food was excellent! We were very impressed with how flavorful and delicious everything was. We were a bit hesitant at first because the restaurant was completely empty on a Friday night, but I genuinely think word just hasn't gotten out yet about how delicious this place is. The service was very good, they were understaffed but we never felt that we had a long wait for were neglected. The ambiance could use a little work, some low background music would go a long way, the night we were there it was dead silent inside besides various alarms going off. Mohamed was our server, host, and handled everything in the front of house and did a very good job staying on top of everything. They were doing a ton of take out as well, so call or order ahead if that's how you're looking to go. read more

Good food and excellent service. It's quiet, and the neighborhood is beautiful. I ordered lamb curry but they served me chicken... that's the second time they've done that. The other time was sometime last year. Tender rice and an amazing waiter. read more

terrible food and a total scam! They charge me $20 for five cubes of chicken that was supposed to be a chicken tikka, but it was just burnt and under seasoned. There was no curry at all! Never order from them they are trying to scam you! And when I called to speak to the manager, he admitted it was supposed to be five cubes of chicken chicken, which is barely enough to put in your hand. Rude service and terrible disgusting food! read more

Went to an impromptu dinner with a friend and had a lovely experience. I had Chicken Tikka Masala she had Tandoori Chicken. Both entrees were delicious! We had vegetable samosa as an app. Our waiter was lovely and the restaurant itself was clean and nicely decorated. There's nothing like sitting down to a sparkling white starched tablecloth and having a great dinner with a good friend! I'll definitely be back and I highly recommend The Indian Restaurant!! read more

Great spot! The food was delicious - lots of flavor and variety. Very authentic. The waiter was very attentive and provided great service. Definitely recommend! We will be back. read more

Shoutout to our local community heroes! This is a beautiful venue filled with lots of Love! The hospitality goes way beyond white table cloths, it extends through the tone of voice and professional handling of patrons. Each dish we ordered from appetizers to entrees and onto the desserts were exquisitely crafted. All the spices were balanced, aromatic, and flavorful. The owner spent time with us and personally made us understand and appreciate all the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into making these flavors help Foodie dreams come true! We enjoyed so many of the naan breads and the chewy warm poori bread! The spice levels can be adjusted 0-10 (10 being Indian spicy). My husband is much more adventurous with spicy foods than I. And I was so happy to know that I could order plain yogurt for a terrific accompaniment for flavors and also cool down my palate. Indian kneer (rice pudding) is also a lovely way to end a spicy meal on such a cold winter night. read more

Both dishes were very good-Saag paneer and lamb dumbhkat. The service was a bit slow, they seem understaffed to accommodate dine in and take out orders. The waiters dress like they are on their way to a basketball court. read more

I've been here a few times and every experience is like the other. The food is decent and the atmosphere is good. White table clothes and dim lighting. What I always experience here, however is the owners are chomping at the bit for one to eat the food and then get out. The restaurant closes at 10 but at 945, the lights got bright and the vacuum started buzzing. The message was clear. It's tacky. I wish they could deal with customers that are buying food, lingering over conversation and having connection over a good meal. Doesn't seem to be the goal for this establishment. read more

This restaurant recently changed ownership and it is better than ever. The food was superb. From the naan to dessert, everything was to perfection. The service was also excellent. read more

STOP. DONT ORDER FROM HERE. Insultingly cheap and inauthentic. They put flour tortillas in place of Naan bread thinking customers can't tell the difference. Food was greasy and bland. And despite this cheap low quality, price doesn't reflect. And on top of that, Delivery was 20 min late. Spend your money on any of the other high quality and authentic Indian restaurants around Philly instead. read more

Great little spot for takeout. I've never eaten in the restaurant but ive gotten take out a couple of times. I really like the Bhindi Bhaji and Matar paneer. Good flavors and the staff is helpful in helping you find the right spice level. read more

Solidly three star establishment. It truly is not amazing and the start time here barely had any truth spinach and neck. Instead it was a pretty solid not amazing creamy sauce with tiny bit of Spanish. It was about five pieces of Panier which were all fine but at the current price point they are definitely under surving and underwhelming. The naan is quite good! Avoid the chef special vegetable dish - the veggies were Fresh and not frozen, which I greatly appreciate, but they were so coated in oil, it may the dish barely edible. Very nice owner, and with a few Indian restaurants in the area, and being a BYOB, it may be worth a shot read more

We stopped in for brunch without reservations. It was pretty empty in there so it was easy to get a seat. The best part is that this place is BYOB and if you pay with cash you get a 10% discount on your bill. We ordered chicken soup, the fish of the day was snapper, and shrimp saag. We also got a side of garlic naan. The chicken soup was pretty good. The snapper was ok. I personally thought it was very fishy. The shrimp saag I have to say I didn't enjoy as much. I though it would be a bit more creamy. read more

Just ok. The food was decent, though the naan was rather crispy and not the traditional puffy and fluffy naan you might be used to. It wasn't bad, just not the traditional preparation. Couldn't tell if it was just over cooked, or if that's just how they make it. The lamb in the tikka masala was pretty tough and overcooked. The service was very slow. The High Point for me was dessert... The rice pudding they have is much thicker than what you would normally get, and was rich and delicious! Nothing wrong with this place at all, but nothing exceptional either. A pretty traditional, run-of-the-mill local neighborhood Indian restaurant. Worth a visit if you're local, but there are certainly better options in the city if you'd like to kick it up a few notches! read more

I've tried most Indian restaurants in the city and I come back to this place over and over again. It's by far the best for takeout. I've tried making palak paneer like theirs and it's never the same. It's delicious! Get it! I've been doing a lot of portion control this year and one order usually gets me 3 meals. Recently I froze my leftovers and had it again 2 weeks later and it was still delicious. I've also had their samosas, parathas, garlic naan, tandoori chicken, Chicken korma, and paneer makhani and would get any of those again. Try it! You won't regret it! Also, their gulab jamun were good for dessert ! I did order their Channa chaat and was under whelmed so stick to the rest of the items! read more

Called in an online order. Food was promptly made in around 20-25 min. Walked in to pick up and the guy at the front was very polite and professional. Food was even better than expected. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

Really good Chicken Tikka takeout. The Naan was perfect. Everything was fresh. Large chunks of white chicken meat, fresh veggies, perfectly seasoned. I am glad this place survived the 2020 shutdowns. read more

Delicious, reasonable food in a festive storefront. The organizer of our party of eight informed us that it's really Burmese food. I cannot confirm that. But, it is very good. We were presented two of the puffed breads (will update with name but meantime see photo) to share with trios of green hot sauce, picked chopped tomatoes, and chutney. To be confined... read more

WAY overdue for writing a review of this restaurant. My husband and I eat here regularly. The food is delicious, and the service is great. We're so thankful they're still open during COVID-19! When things go back to normal, they are BYOB. Given the times, here's my picture of our regular order in takeout form - I love the Chicken Tikka Makhanee, and my husband loves the Lamb Vindaloo. Oh, and 10% discount if you pay by cash. They have great lunch specials too. read more

I've been back twice since I wrote my original review and I still stand by it. My favorite dish thus far is definitely the Chicken Korma. Just...it's so delicious, I can't even talk about it because it's dinner time and I don't live in the city. Service is still top notch, water always filled, etc. It is one of the places I would take a visitor to the city if they were looking for good food. I even took my mother there after the Flower Show and she liked it! If you're kids are well-behaved, I see no reason why they can't join the meal. read more

"ok indian food... they need to serve their speciality (Bengali food)" We got to know the owner is Bengali and thought they would offer Bengali cuisines in the menu, but NO. we got disappointed. The server was least bothered in serving us. we ordered Dal tadka/ bhindi/ Kadai paneer and biryani. Except for biryani which was nothing but a mix of chicken curry and rice, all were good in taste. We asked for malai kabab in starters but he said it will take 15-20 minutes, so we cancelled that. we talked ourselves that he could have said, 10 minutes and tried hard for it, but he flagged his hand in the starting only. and guess what, our food came after 35 minutes. I even appreciated the food but the server did not even acknowledge my compliment. and yes service was slow too despite there were hardly 5-6 customers. Overall I would say it was ok..!! read more

This place was so good. We ordered a lot of food because this was our first time trying Indian and I can say everything we got was delicious. Very cheap in price and you definitely get bang for your buck. The atmosphere was great and he even threw in a free rice pudding (which was delicious). Will be returning. read more

Used to absolutely love this place. But after ordering tonight can definitely say we will never order from here again or recommend. All food was disgustingly bland and watery. When my husband called to let them know (as it was our favorite Indian restaurant and they're usually super friendly) the person on the phone was oddly rude and uncaring. Awful experience. read more

Very clean and romantic spot. The service was awesome, very fast and enthusiastic. We had the lamb vindaloo, chicken tandoori and garlic naan. Came out to ~$40. Thought prices were pretty high for portion size, and overall, the quality could be improved. It was straight up tomato paste. If you're craving indian food, this is a fair go-to in the Grad Hospital area. read more

Ordered the chicken tikka masala and all I can taste is ground cashews. It was so gross. I think I would have to fix it by adding water and tomato paste. I regret ordering from here. Seriously how can they not get such a popular item right. read more

Ordered over $100 worth of food for delivery and was told it would be delivered in 50 min to an hour. An hour and 30 min later, I called because the food never showed up. I got no apology and was told, "the driver is out for delivery but I don't know when he'll he'll be there." I asked, "Can you call the driver? I need to leave my home soon." No response. I waited 15 more minutes before calling again to say I need to leave my house and I want my money back. He hung up on me!!! shocking. read more

I order from here all the time and recently realized its so close to my house. Need to stop in next time. The food has such good flavor. I get the chicken masala and it's the BEST. Suggest getting it with mint chutney. They also have a 10% special when you pay cash and order through their website. read more

I am one picky Indian food snob :), so I was totally surprised by the offerings at Indian Restaurant (awesome name by the way). Not perfect, but by no means the greasy entrees offered at most Indian restaurants. And with a lack of Indian cuisine in the city, I would totally recommend this place. For apps we started with the samosas (of course). They were flaky and not too spicy. The Imli chutney (the brown tamarind sauce) was great, but I was bummed to see that they did not serve a coriander chutney (wtf- samosas are always served with both :(). The papadams were perfectly crispy and the chana chat was pretty tasty, but not as awesome as the samosas. As for entrees, the lamb vindaloo was absolutely delicious! Perfect pairing of spices and tender lamb meat. The saag paneer was fine (nothing to write home about). The chicken tikka masala was very good, but its my least favorite dish to order at an Indian restaurant. My friends were all raving about it so it seemed to go over well with the group. The only thing I truly disliked was the bindi. It was greasy and just awful. Other than that the food was tasty, not too greasy, and definitely worth trying... read more

Been here along with my friends. The place is small but very nice ambience. It is very clean and hygiene too. We've ordered Veg Biryani, Chick Biryani, Roti, Lamb Curry. I'm disappointed with Veg Biryani as it is like a curry rice with too many vegetables. Chicken Biryani was also not so great. Roth and Lamb curry were really good and tasty. Finally, Lassi is too good. Prices are high.service is good but not really quick. read more
