The food is DELICIOUS! I got the Samosas, Onion Bhaji, and Lamb Biryani (mild). Everything was really flavorful, especially the Raita and Tamarind Chutney that came with my food, I was pouring them all over my biryani. And the Lamb is actual whole chunks of lamb, and VERY flavorful. The Samosa's do have a spicy kick to them, but the Onion Bhaji does not, so there's something for everyone depending on the person. The people that work there are really nice too! And they're super quick and know what they're doing. I got my order to go cause I was on my lunch break, but it's really nice inside, they have a few tables and the overall vibe is chill. And they have a sign outside that your order is 10% off if you dine in, so that encourages people to eat in! It's a really nice and simple place, and their prices are not expensive at all. My lamb biryani I swear is like 5 pounds in weight, for only $19. Definitely my new spot for Indian cuisine. read more

Solid! I haven't had Tiffin in YEARS, but the other day we were craving Indian food and opted for delivery due to UberEats deals and savings. The food was delicious just as I remembered. We had the chicken tikka masala, 2 pitas, and veggie Korma served with plenty of perfectly fluffy basmati rice. Both curries were delicious and flavorful, and the chicken was not dry - and pitas held up well during delivery and were great to sop up the delicious sauce. I have no photos to share because we scarfed it all down. Tiffin is a solid choice for Indian and I would recommend trying it and Indian food in general if you haven't yet! read more

Lamb Biryani and Butter Chicken were insane . Food was 10/10, service was smooth, and the ambiance was calm and cozy. Plus, they do free delivery? Say less. Definitely coming back.‍ read more

Tiffin - Indian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This place gave me and my wife food poisening, do not risk it, so many other better Indian places.

Not really sure what all the poor reviews are about because Tiffin was rippin HEAT from their kitchen. We ordered from Uber Eats and everything was on time and ready to down. What we snagged: -Chicken Tikka Masala (Chicken SO tender!) -Masoor Dahl (Best dish of all) -Garlic Nan (SO big and flavorful) Both dishes came with rice and were super flavorful. Will 100% be ordering again and can't wait. This place is the real deal for quick and flavorful Indian food. Will say that many reviews have issues with calling in and ordering. Maybe get with the 21st century and Uber Eats? read more

Tiffin - Takeout during a pandemic. Fire flames Indian. - Indian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We ordered takeout from here. While we love Indian food, we weren't too impressed here. The selection of food is fairly limited and our food was alright. The butter chicken and chicken tikka masala tasted similar and not with as much depth and fullness of flavor as what we are used to. read more

First time eating from here, the food was really good. The chicken was tender and soft and I got spice medium. The veggie samosas were crispy. The rice was cooked good and the flavors were really good. Perfect amount of spice. read more

Tiffin - Chicken tikka masala, non-veggie samosas white rice - Indian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Food is decent. Not the best chicken korma I have ever had. The naan is also $5- and you only get one piece. My garlic naan also had no garlic on it. Service is quick- I ordered delivery and it arrived quickly! Ill probably get it again if I want something quick. read more

I wanted to say this experience was the best! My husband and I decided to try something different and I'm so glad we did! The food, atmosphere, and customer service was THE BEST! The waiter was very knowledgeable and patient with me when ordering food. His suggestions and recommendations were very helpful when making my decisions. The food was delicious! I give this place a 10/10!! So glad we stopped!! We will definitely be back. read more

I ordered delivery online. Had a concern that I might have submitted my order more than once, so I called and they were able to confirm that only one order was submitted and paid. Whew! Food arrived quickly and it was pretty good. We had several meals out of two dishes, and we're hearty eaters. So I felt it was a good value for what we paid. Chana masala was good and at "medium" had a good spice level for me. Vindaloo vegetables weren't as spicy as I expected, but I was expecting it might be too hot for me. We got some naan as well, and it was fresh and tasty. We also got some raita in case the heat was too much. Their raita is good; it's got a lot more going on that others I've had. Lots of spices added to it, so it's not just yogurt, cilantro and cucumber. Who said cooling your palate has to be bland? I'd order again. read more

I have ordered out from here and dined in! Nice size menu, delicious food and friendly staff!

I placed another delivery order. This time my review is about the followings: Chicken korma: chicken is dry and tough. I think it's over cooked. The sauce is delicious, not to heavy although it's creamy. The peshawari naan with nuts in it is awesome. It has sweetness in it and some crunchy texture. Aloo papri chaat: it's okay, the wheat crisp it's greasy. Baingan bharta: it's creamy and the spice is on point. read more

I would give it an A for customer service. But it's getting 2 stars because I ordered the Saag Paneer, and it should be called soup. It was AWFUL! This is a franchise chain which means consistency in quality but it's not. read more

Food is excellent and one of few Indian restaurants in the area that has the yellow daal dish.

I work at the University of Pennsylvania and I placed a large catering order from Tiffin for this week. The food was excellent and it came in perfect timing. Our building is tough to find and the driver was communicative and easy to work with so that the food was delivered with plenty of time for us to set up the event. It was a great way to provide a large amount of high quality food on a budget. They also gave us a complimentary desert-- which was incredible. read more

It's my go-to for quick and easy Indian takeout. I sat in one night for dinner, my friend and I, it was mehhh. The food was good, the atmosphere didn't say/do much for me. It was dark and kinda desolate. There was on other patron who came in but you could tell that they make their money on deliveries/take-out. The food was good, the service was good so I will continue ordering from here. read more

Hmm tried tiffin and became a goat, fish tikka men-meh, kakori -triple meh, samosa chaat meh meh meh meh.,,. I'd rather eat leaves off a tree. Must've had goat brains or I'd have checked yelp ratings before ordering. read more

The food was great. We shared aloo gobhi, baingan bharta, butter chicken, saag lamb, garlic and onion naan. Everything was delicious and fast service. Very casual atmosphere read more

Biryani is not great... taste like kitchdi I ordered paneer but got a different curry which I can't complain read more

Finally! I have found good Indian in Philadelphia. Having eaten at almost every Indian place in Philadelphia, I was not satisfied. As an Indian, I have standards. This place meets them! I've had a few times and don't understand the low yelp reviews. Although the ambience or neighborhood aren't great, come for the food. It's delicious. Promise from an Indian. My favorite is the Gobi Manchurian. It is delic! read more

Tiffin - Indian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

When the food is good, it is really good. The last order took more than 2 hours and arrived cold with no apology and no money refunded. Sad to say, this was the last straw. Bye bye, old friend. read more

We ordered takeout. It took over an hour to arrive and was not warm enough. My Naan was burnt. They also forgot to add an item. We used to really like Tiffin, but think the quality has fallen off. We will be looking for another Indian takeout. read more

Terrible. Last straw. I have given tiffin so many chances, mostly because when it's good, it's great. Issue is, it hasn't been good in quite sometime. From two hour deliveries, metal nail in our food, cold, tasteless, missing items. Tonight, I placed my order at 6:33. Gave me a 60 minute time. Cool. I can deal with that. Get a call at 7:17 telling me the driver wasn't back, and wouldn't be back for an hour. At least this time they called, although after 40 minutes later. Trying me. Stay away. Mood or Etka is your best bet. read more

If I had to pick the best Indian food I have had in Philadelphia to date, this would definitely take the cake. I uploaded a couple of pictures taken from dinner but apologies for the already half eaten Samosa and Onion Bhaji - priorities of eating beat out the camera. The Samosa was good, not the best ever - a bit mushy and somewhat bland, but still quite good. The onion bhaji was good but a bit greasy. We ordered the Chicken Kali Mirch and the Goan Fish Curry special for our entrees. The Chicken Kali Mirch was my favorite and had a fabulous kick. It was potentially even better the second day - I loooove when that happens! My brother and friend adored the Goan Fish Curry which had a lighter spice but a great peanut buttery texture and taste that was spot on. I would have liked a slightly stronger kick but that's just me. Also, Tiffin is BYOB so be sure to bring something along with you! The ambiance (oh yeah, I said it) was awesome -- once you get inside. I absolutely love the upstairs with its exposed brick and huge doors. Don't be thrown off when you are looking for the place and parking as it's not in the best of areas and is sort of sitting alone on a dark area of Girard. Also of importance were the prices, it was totally reasonable. The three of us had enough food for both dinner and two lunches the next day and spent $40! Thank you Tiffin, I will definitely be returning. read more

I've never been to the actual restaurant, but I have had delicious delivery. yes they deliver all the way to my hood ( rittenhouse area) which is amazing. it's pricey but fresh! the roasted vegetables are awesome read more

I visited there a few years back and enjoyed it immensely. Tonight, I was treated to some takeout from there at a family gathering in a nearby neighborhood, and got to judge the food on new merits. So here goes... This place is still holding up very well on food quality. We enjoyed Paneer Tikka Masala and Onion Bhajhi among other dishes. One noticeable thing about this experience is that I generally remember that the food was a bit spicier during my first go around. Obviously this has to do with different dishes. But the hosts who ordered this takeout report that they seem to get differing experiences on the spiciness of the food. Could inconsistency be creeping in? Nevertheless, it was quite delicious even if this go around was on the mild side. Among Indian restaurants in the general area, I'll rank them top 5 in my personal tastes. I have more personal favorites, and this place is a little expensive even for Indian food. But Tiffin is without question worth a trip. read more

I've had delivery from here a few times. It's uneven. Depends a lot on what you get. Vegetarian food (delivery) seems generally better than meat. My fave is the malai kofta (as usual). Yummy vegetarian "meatballs" in a creamy cashew sauce. 4.5 stars. Navrattan Korma was good. Saag Paneer was good. 3.5+ stars Baingan Bharta was just okay. Dal was okay. Potatoes okay. 3 stars Chicken & lamb dishes I tried were okay, but the meat was a bit tough. 2.5 stars Will keep ordering from Tiffin for the malai kofta & veg dishes. Everything is definitely at least okay. I'm curious to try other dishes to see if I can find more of what's good. read more

Tasty food but man the online delivery is not happening for me. I ordered lunch at 11:30 am for a 12:30 pm delivery, but tracking it online showed it was prepared and picked up by 11:37?? And the delivery driver was nice but didn't show up until 1:00 pm. So decent food but haphazard delivery through their website. I'll check out ordering through the yelp or Grubhub app if there is a next time. read more

I have ordered from Tiffin multiple times and never had a problem. Their delivery is fast and their food is excellent.

One of my favorite Indian joints in town. I haven't gone to Ekta enough to really recommend Tiffin more, but I think Tiffin serves a great product. It is probably more expensive than it should be, but they do like that I get get food there at spicy as I want. In fact, last time I visited, I asked for the brown person's spice level--the server laughed and gave it to me! Saag paneer, chicken tikki masala, and tadoori chicken are my favorites. Street food (pizza/flatbreads) are original and fun, too. Naan should be a $1 a piece, or even complimentary if you ask me. read more

Horrible, horrible service over the phone, waited for an hour for pick up, their website refuses credit cards, way too many issues, I've had nothing but issues this being the forth time. The young guy on the phone can't slow down so people can communicate with him. Great food and bad service is not good for business. It's a shame but I will never order there again. I was trying my best not to leave this bad review but I just can't anymore. This is so out of control. read more

Tiffin rules! The website is really easy to order from and if you make an account and order off the site, you can get 't coins' which is like a few dollars off of your meal. It's really cool and cheap! read more

Excellent food and customer service is immaculate. The owner is super nice and will help give recommendations on what to try. great environment and is byob so a great place to go with friends read more

Food: 5 Decor: 3 Ambiance: 2.5 Service: 3 Value: 3 I love Tiffin, I've ate at several of their locations at least a dozen times. Cheap, delicious, and byob. read more

This Indian restaurant is NOT good. not authenticI ordered 3 dishes and an appetizer. All of it were very disappointing. 1st fish chicken tikka masala-the sauce is supposed to be think and creamy it was watery.. just bland.. 2nd dish-a lamb fish. Seems like they use the same sauce as a basis then add additional herbs and spices to augment it a bit... same thing watery and bland.. 3rd dish-vegetables samosa ingredients were fine but it was super oily and were friend is old oil, Ekta restaurant the best of all of these other Indian restaurants here in fishtown and northern libs. read more

Firstly please note that this is my first review EVER on yelp because it is THAT important for me to share my experience regarding the decline in quality of this particular Tiffin restaurant - specifically their Curry Sauces. I have been ordering regularly from this branch for over 5 years and had been extremely satisfied until about a year ago when a supposed Chicken Tikka Masala was delivered with the consistency of water. I called my dear Tiffin restaurant to ask if there was a change in kitchen staff to which he responded "no". I dictated my issue and that this has never happened before to which he responded "what do you want us to do about it now?". I was in a bit of shock but because this was my first terrible experience I let them slide. Then a few months later I had friends visit from out of town so i hoped that my last experience was a one time thing and decided to go ahead and order the same food - AGAIN the same problem. I was mortified. It was as though they neglected quality all together. For the last time I ordered the same food this past weekend and again I received a sauce (not curry) that I could have easily prepared myself. It was as thin as water and plain in taste. I WILL NEVER EVER ORDER FROM THIS BRANCH AGAIN. You lost a loyal customer as a result of apparent decline in the quality of food you serve your customers coupled with your low quality customer service! read more

Fool me once... I'm giving two stars because I know better. I thought the two hour delivery from a restaurant that is a 15 minute drive (max) to my home on a Sunday afternoon was a fluke. Only to learn that a Tuesday evening would also require a two hour delivery window. They don't have tracking to monitor your delivery and when you call, as suggested, for an update, they don't provide reliable info just "it is out for delivery." You try to extend grace in this climate but this is too much. read more

Unacceptable. I placed an order 2 hours ago and when I called to inquire about the status of my order, the line was busy. I was forced to order takeout from another restaurant. For the restaurant to dodge phone calls from customers is a new low. They simply do not deserve to remain in business. read more

Amazing food and customer service. We were the only people in there on a Saturday at 6pm. We were a table or 6 and our food was delicious. There take out was super busy and you can tell that everyone was calling in to place their orders. read more

When I moved to Philly, all the long-timers told me to wander over to Tiffin because it was the best in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, it's been trading on it's past reputation because the quality is spiraling downward with the occasional brief break above the surface into respectability. Sometimes the food is great: it comes with a big tub of rice, plenty of curry, a complimentary dollop of dal, and free pickles (yum!). Other times, your free dal is watery and gross, your big tub of rice is mysteriously smaller even when you've ordered more, and your order is incomplete. The number of times I have ordered an item only to be told, "Oh, we don't have that anymore." is unimpressively large. Then why do you have it on your menu?! It sure sounds like the restaurant was great a few years ago. On the other hand, when it's good - it's really damn good. But they commit a CARDINAL SIN: cheating the customer. Whenever you order, check your credit card statement! There have been MULTIPLE TIMES they have either overcharged us, double-charged us, or charged us an amount DIFFERENT from what was on the menu (for instance: ordered Naan priced at $2.50; when I checked the receipt later they charged $3. etc etc). I like the food and it's really close, but I can't go there anymore. I'm sick of dealing with the incorrect billing and the dramatically inconsistent quality. read more
