A bright spot in this past challenging winter was finding in January the Mod India Restaurant at…read more475 Germantown Pike in Lafayette Hill. The food on my first visit shortly after it opened was wonderful. Against all restaurant odds, it has gotten better with each subsequent visit as winter turned to spring. Whether your preference is meat, vegetarian, a combination, you will find more than one appetizer, main dish, and dessert to please you. Some of the choices created by the creative, friendly chef, Ashok----who by the way stopped at our table and answered questions----are: ---A Shrimp appetizer on top of the poori---Something new to me but something I will want again. ----Tender, well-seasoned lamb chops, unequaled in quality and flavor, and better than any I have ever had. ----Aloo Tikki Chaat---- if chat interests you. Affectionately called Indian Street Food. It would be welcome on my street anytime. The restaurant is very convenient and accessible to Northwest Philadelphia---Chestnut Hill Mount Airy ---and the near suburbs. Buut the restaurant is well worth a longer trip if you are not nearby. The staff is friendly without being intrusive. They know just when to be there for you and when not to be. The check will not break the bank. You will leave satisfied with a desire to return as soon as you can. I would recommend Mod India Restaurant without hesitancy or reservation and will be going back soon. Mike Carroll

Tried Sangam Indian Restaurant for the first time and WOWWWW. It instantly made my list of favorite…read moreIndian restaurants. Started with the Samosa Chaat and honestly... it may be my favorite Samosa Chaat ever. The portion was super generous, the flavors were incredible, and best of all, it wasn't drowning in yogurt like so many places tend to do. Absolute perfection. For entrées, I ordered the Chana Masala (medium spice) and the Dal Tadka (medium). Both were packed with flavor, perfectly spiced, rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. The Chana Masala had the perfect kick, and the Dal Tadka was truly fantastic. And the garlic naan? Chef's kiss. Fresh, soft, flavorful, and perfectly made. Beautiful space and exceptional service by Nabil and Prince! Everything was delicious, satisfying, and so filling. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be keeping this spot on my list of favorite Indian restaurants!

We were there for the Sunday lunch buffet this afternoon. After paying 27 dollars per person, one…read morewould expect either originality or flavourful classics. But we left with a bad taste in our mouth. The food felt like microwaved airline meal. The chicken biryani was flavourless, veg biryani was worse ( dried rice, frozen veggies were reused ) yogurt rice had rice which clearly was leftover from prior evening ( dehydrated?) the dosa counter was closed most of the meal ( we were there at peak time just past noon) it was late but the only thing on the plate that was fresh. Coconut fish appetizer was flaky. The only reason this is a two star review and not one star is because the dosa was fresh. To the owner - you need to taste your food before putting it out there and charging an outrageous 27 dollars per person. And cut the ala carte menu and figure out how to improve your main offering instead of adding more stuff . Also you need more staff. Very disappointed and unhappy that these guys are able to get away with what they are feeding people and calling it upscale Indian food.

One of the highlights of the lunch menu is the inclusion of naan and rice, which perfectly complemented the flavorful curries and tandoori specialties. I ordered the curry chicken and it was very delicious. Tender pieces of chicken with aromatic sauce bursting with spices. The curry sauce was smooth, infused with the warmth of ginger, the fragrance of garlic, and the subtle heat of chili peppers. The portion was also very generous. I couldn't finish it and saved it for dinner. There are 3 levels of spicy, and I choose mild which was good for me. They have medium and spicy as the next two level. Pretty sure you will find something that suits your taste bud. Atmosphere is good for what they have to offer, and the food was delicious. I will definitely come back.

The menu doesn't mention the chicken being bone-in. That's all I ordered so unfortunately that's all I can comment on.
