I was hoping with the new space, there would be improvements from the prior location. I hope these…read moreremarks below allow for the space for improvements because the food is good. Upon entering, no one acknowledged us to be seated. We had to ask two staff members where to sit. Once seated, the table was cleaned upon some delay with a rag that had a distinct smell that lingered throughout the meal. It took 55 minutes for our meal to arrive. I was able to see on their social media that they cooked the kabobs and karahi fresh. That being said, there should be communication with the guests if it will take that long. It could have been a coincidence but our food came out 5 minutes after we checked in to see what the status of our order is. If you also notice that your guests are not satisfied with the wait time, perhaps offer complimentary appetizers. We ordered the family platter but were not given any utensils too pick up the food with...we ended up using our hands as we already had a laundry list of things to ask for like napkins, an extra plate, more chutney (which we requested during our order). Resham kabob - basically the same kabob, the same salad, the same naan from the family platter. I could have constructed it myself at the fraction of the cost. The sandwich rolls do not come with fries or anything which I think isn't appropriate for the price they are charging. It was also confusing where to order as the place to order for Kabobeesh is in the back of the restaurant. The Karak Chai counter is being used too which is great but further confuses guests. The food seemed like it was coming out of different exits. There are no physical menus at this time, guests have to get up and read the kiosks. The menu online is also very confusing as there is overlap with the pizza location items. Always wanting the nashtaa but never knowing when the cut off time is for ordering it! Adding an extra star than I'd like because there is a prayer room which is wonderful to see. :) The chicken karahi was good per usual but left disappointed otherwise!

WOWWWW!! How have I never been here despite living so close when I was in Philly!! This was one of…read morethe best Indian places I've ever been to!! Sooo much seating inside. We got the chicken korma, which came with juicy chicken thigh meat, cooked in a coconut, cashew, and almond sauce. You could tell the chicken had been marinating in the curry for hours, and it was just so addicting creamy. We also got the saag paneer which is a bit more bitter and earthy, and had so much spinach. Such a nice contrast from the creaminess of the chicken korma, and made for a lighter bite. Wish they had more paneer in it - so yum!! Love a chewy firm tofu like block of cheese. Both entrees come with rice for free!! The Kashmiri naan was absolutely INSANE!! I've never had it, and didn't realize how amazing naan could taste. This was not soft like traditional naan, but rather was crispy and came with nuts, honey in between the layers, and glacé cherries. I don't even like cherries, and I found this insanely good. Could def just eat on its own, especially fresh out of the oven! Our server was really kind and gave us sooo much time to figure out what we wanted to eat. Checked in on us a few times too!

I went for the first time today after seeing a social media ad for their buffet; a couple of my favorite Indian buffets closed down during COVID so I was excited to see a new one open up near Center City. They have their buffet Fri-Sun and I went on a Friday lunchtime and it was pretty quiet. The inside of the restaurant is very polished with white tablecloths and tasteful decor, and the servers are very welcoming and attentive considering that it's a buffet. The selection is a little smaller than other Indian buffets I've been to and doesn't have all the Western Indian restaurant classics (though there is a good butter chicken). But I found the two namesakes of the restaurant - the tandoori chicken kebab and the biryanis - were standouts and had a perfect amount of spice that was noticeable but not too intense. I didn't mind the smaller menu as a tradeoff for good quality, though one request would have been to have a dish with paneer to strengthen the vegetarian offerings and because I just love paneer! I'd also consider switching out some of the fried options like gobi manchurian and pakora for additional curries as the fried stuff just doesn't hold up as well in steam tables. The buffet was $18.99 a person as of the time of writing, which I thought was a very reasonable price for all-you-can-eat food that also tastes great. I'd be willing to come back for sure, especially if they switch up the buffet dishes from day to day and I can try new things!
