I actually didn't love Nalan. The servers were very friendly and attentive (they kept refilling the water pitcher which had nice lemon flavoring) but the food was a little lackluster. I normally always love Indian food but something about each dish was off. We got the Kodi vopidu (chicken stir fry) based on some prior Yelp reviews. It was ok but not super flavorful or impressive. Was not really a fan of the veggie korma--it was full of spices but not as creamy as I'm used to. The texture was almost grainy? The portions were a bit small as well for the price. My husband did get a lentil dish (not sure which one) which was the best out of the tree we ordered. Overall we were disappointed as Nalan had a very high Yelp rating (probably because of its nicer interior--cute wall with a word cloud of food) but the food itself was underwhelming. There are multiple Indian and Nepali restaurants on the east shore we liked better. read more

Food amazing! We ordered chicken curry, chicken Kirk's, chicken butter, saag paneer! All incredible. 5 star service!!!!some of the best service ever. The man with ponytail is one of the best servers I have ever had in my life. We just finished dining at a 3 Michelin star resteraunt. This server is incredible!!! read more

Visited this place twice and I have only great things to share! It was a small but bustling restaurant with great service even during closing time. The owner personally greeted everyone and took orders. He recommended a few dishes and took his time understanding all his customer's preferences. I really liked that -- not all local restaurants do that. I liked their Chicken Biryani -- Tasted good with large portions. Being one of the few Indian restaurants in the area, their prices were very reasonable. Parking spots were plenty and this restaurant is a great pit stop if you're passing by Harrisburg. read more

My wife and I ate at Nalan last night. It was, as usual, excellent. I have enjoyed many Indian restaurants over the last 30 years, but Nalan is the best. The service is very friendly. The atmosphere is pleasant. The food is fantastic. read more

Warm welcome! Salmon, potato & cauliflower were dinner dreams. Hot garlic bread. Kind staff with smiles. Owner shared saffron dessert--truly appreciated read more

The food was quite good--subtle flavors, just enough heat. Service was quick," but not in any way careless. Server and manager were very pleasant. The restaurant has no fancy ambience; that's not why we went there. We went for the food. No fancy ambience, but that's not why we went there. We went for the food. read more

Really wonderful food and great service! Great curry bryan and naan. We will be back.

Nalan has incredible Indian food! I've lived in Mechanicsburg for 4 years, and I can't believe I never knew about this restaurant! The staff is very kind and helpful with the menu. I'm vegertarian and they have a big veggie section on their menu! The interior doesn't look like the pictures on Yelp; it's been redesigned and has a cute, upscale-dinner-date vibe! Food and staff are 10/10! read more

I don't do Indian cuisine very often so I'm thrilled that I chose a great restaurant when I did. We ordered takeout and it was ready exactly when promised. We ordered the Achari chicken tikka, Kodi vepudu, chicken tikka masala. Bullet naan, and garlic naan. Everything was delicious. If you like spicy this place nails it! Great meal at a great price! read more

Food is top notch along with great customer service. So much flavor and can't wait to go back

A real find. Strong flavors are not for less resilient stomachs. When indicating the level of spice you prefer, I recommend you ask for your food to be "mild". Real, old-school Indian ((1) the scent of my dinner lingered on my sweater and jacket when I wore them again the following day (2) I experienced the flavor of my meal for some time after the meal had ended). The kitchen certainly has some significant culinary chops; the items your correspondent ordered were well prepared. "Appetizer" portions are generous and meal-sized. The tea was unhelpfully pre-milked and pre-spiced; pass unless you love milky cardamom. Service was helpful! read more

Everything we tried was very tasty and allowed for the spice level we requested. The take out was warm and well packaged when it arrived. Very happy with this restaurant. read more

AMAZING!! We got a chicken biryani and a chicken tikka massala and we are so glad we only got 1 of each because the portion is big. We asked for it spicy and it was perfection. It also comes with a yoghurt sauce to tone it down and a peanut butter sauce to kick it up (although I didn't like the latter). The naan didn't disappoint either the service was good and fast. The ambiance was cute -nothing too crazy though. Clean too!! read more

We were extremely pleased with our Father's Day dinner here. As most Indian restaurants are accustomed to having vegetarians, our server even went above and beyond and asked the chef to remove garlic from one of the dishes we orders due to a food aversion. We are very grateful for how kind and helpful our servers were and the recommendations they gave us. We ordered several dishes and were all mouthwatering delicious. The stars of the show were definitely the gobi manchurian, chicken 65 and the malai kofta. Everything came out super quick and piping hot - just the way Indian food should be enjoyed! read more

Good food and great service. Had visited the same brand, Nalan at a different location in PA. Ordered chicken kuthu parotta, dosa, tandoori chicken and veg biriyani. Server was very attentive. Found items to be a bit more oily than I would have liked. Overall, a decent experience. read more

So i guess it's been so long since I've had Indian food that I can say I've never had Indian food. I started with the lintel and coconut soup. Wonderful flavors and very nice. I asked for a recommendation for dinner. The girl said the Masters Chicken was flavorful, among other ideas. So i stuck with the chicken. I'm so glad I did. It's was wonderful, plentiful, and what a taste. I also ordered the garlic naan. I was nice and full. Everything was very good. Nice place. Good service. Highly recommend See pictures. read more

Went here by myself because I was travelling on business. I was seated at a small table and given great service. The food was absolutely the best Indian food I've ever tasted. The dining room was casual and clean. read more

A much anticipated second visit to Nalan on 6/18, party of 7. Restaurant was completely empty when we arrived for our noon reservation. Having had a good experience before, we looked forward to the food - overall very tasty grub with some misses. For appetizers we had chicken 65 and prawn 65 - both were over cooked and too dry. The gobi manchurian was great and the chili paneer seemed hard and over cooked. For entrées, we had vegetarian biryani, chicken biryani, tandoori pomfret, butter chicken, and gunpowder shrimp. All dishes were decent, with the gunpowder shrimp being the standout. Small recommendation - the shrimp appetizer should have been cooked like this entree. The Limca, Fanta, and Mango lassis were enjoyed with all. The speed of food delivery which was an issue on visit # 1 seemed to be fixed and there was soap in the bathroom this time! read more

We had high hopes for Nalan, a bright and airy restaurant in a quirky retail strip mall straight out of the 1950s. The place knocked it out of the park. Since it was mom's first experience with Indian cuisine, we started with an excellent Masala dosa, a delightfully crispy-yet-pliable chickpea pancake wrapped around what might be described as a warm potato salad. The dish came with a soup, which we dunked the dosa into, and alternately ate on its own, as well as a smoky tomato chutney and a coconut chutney. We tore into the dosa with both hands. Next came a double order of garlic naan, basmati rice, and chicken tikka masala, which was less creamy than other versions I've had, but nonetheless delicious. It also had chunks of onion and bell pepper, whereas others I've had over the years have been more puréed, perhaps simmered longer. Portions were generous, and the prices were pretty reasonable. We shared a super yummy lime soda, and finished with gulab jamun, a fried dumpling floating in sweet syrup -- lighter and less rubbery than others I've had, with a thinner syrup. Perfect. The meal was an excellent value, and the service was gracious and prompt. Outdoor seating is an option. Sure, it's under a parking lot overhang. But sometimes, on a nice day, 'ya wanna be outside right? Right. :) During our visit, they accommodated a party of 16, as well as two other tables. Mom was thrilled and we both left stuffed. Bravo, Nalan. Bravo. read more

This restaurant is all around incredible. It is consistently clean, the food is amazing, and the service is impeccable. We've gone about four times now, every time we're in town, and we cannot wait to go again! The butter paneer is the best we've ever had in any city. The naan is perfect, not oily at all, and it is easily opened to make it perfect for scooping your meal. I'd give this restaurant 100 stars if I could! read more

The food at Nalan is excellent. On a recent visit our party of three shared excellent chili paneer, a spicy Brussels sprouts appetizer, lamb saag, dal makani, and baignan bharta. This is the best Indian food in the area. Everything was tasty. The restaurant is clean and the service was friendly. read more

This was our first time here based on a recommendation from a neighbor. Food and service were amazing. We will definitely be back often!!

Been here twice. Just loved this place. First time stumbled on this accidentally, second time drove 2 hrs just to have lunch here.The place is decent sized. We had reserved outside seating on both the occasions. The host and servers were great. The food is awesome. Some of our favorites - -- Kothu paratha -- Tandoori chciken -- Goat curry -- Parota with chicken curry The masala fried fish was OK. Will highly recommend this place for South indian food ! read more

Lovely and delicious food in a casual environment. The samosa chat was great. It was sweet and sour, with a subtle warm spiciness and lots of different textures. The dosa with vegetable kuruma was also very good. The dosa was a little thicker than I was used to (but really tasty) and filled with cooked red onions. The kuruma was very flavorful and filled with lots of different vegetables. Will definitely come back here next time we're driving across Pennsylvania. read more

I tend to shy away from ordering biryani because it often comes out dry, but the hyberbadi biryani comes with two sauces, helping it stay moist (and spicy I might add.) My wife's chicken vindaloo was almost too spicy for her taste, but the flavor was good. Samosas were also good. Points deducted for an item missing from our takeout order. Attention to detail matters! read more
