Philly Indian restuarants from a guy married to an Indian woman
See All Lists
1. Shere-E-Punjab
I reviewed them exactly a year ago, and they were my favorite Indian restaurant then. A year later, they still got it!
I feel they deserve the long review treatment from me now. I took the wife there tonight for my birthday, as well as my mom. Now,…More »

I am married to an Indian woman, so I have become a pseudo expert on Indian restaurants. This has… Read more »
2. Himalayan Exotic Indian Cuisine
I just feel like I need to update this review.
I'm a regular here. I average about three times a month for lunch. I just have to say that one of the best things about this place is that they maintain the quality of their food. I know exactly what…More »

The lunch buffet is the best deal you will find locally. The owner is a friendly guy, and they… Read more »
3. JAS Himalayan
So we took a trip out here to meet my wife's family for lunch today. Someone in her family had chosen this place to try after an internet search. Well, I had no idea what to expect.
But when I got there, I noticed something. One of my favorite…More »
4. Saffron Indian Kitchen
I've been thinking about going to this place for quite some time after discussing it with a fellow Yelper a while back. Well, imagine my surprise when the wife comes up to me out of the blue recently and asks me if I ever heard of this place called…More »
5. Tiffin
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…More »
6. Chinnar Indian Cuisine
Their lunch buffet is consistently good. Their chicken tikka masala pleased my Indian wife, who is tougher to please than I am with Indian food. Their food on the buffet tends to be on the mild side, but they will apparently make spicier fare.…More »
7. Taste of India
This place is getting the coveted upgrade from me after my last experience here.
It's funny with these Indian buffets. Some places just strike out on occasion. I've had a meal here in the past that I haven't liked. And I've still had better…More »

I've only had the afternoon buffet during the week, so I can't judge everything they have to offer.… Read more »
8. Nirvana Fine Indian Cuisine
Used a combination of the iPhone's Siri as well as Yelp to find this place on a recent trip to Delaware. This place has some good things going for it, but has some imperfections I found.
First strike on this particular night was when the manager…More »
9. New Delhi Indian Restaurant
Philadelphia, PA 19104
(215) 386-1941
So me and this place have had an interesting past. In fact, I decided this place just wasn't good enough a while ago. Ever since meeting my wife, who as I've mentioned is from India and the person I trust the most on finding a good Indian place, we…More »
10. Taj Indian Cuisine
Upper Darby, PA 19082

Categories:

This place needs a review update because some things have changed.
So there is no more dinner buffet here. Mildly disappointing to me, although I understand the reasoning. The owner told me it was just too difficult to keep fresh in the evening.…More »

I wasn't sure what to expect here, but they are winning me over. They are also winning over my wife… Read more »
11. Royal India
I wrote my last review of this place back when I wasn't writing very long reviews here on Yelp. After my last experience here last week, I have to say more about this place. It's not all good.
You know, I really want to like this place with all of…More »

The naan is some of the best I've ever had, fresh and buttery. The mango lassi is excellent, and… Read more »
12. Sitar India Restaurant
Philadelphia, PA 19104
(215) 662-0818
Categories:
Ethnic Food,
Indian
Neighbourhood: University City
This place used to be more of a favorite of mine. They're cheap, and they make some good dishes. But the last couple of times I have been here, the food didn't agree with me. They tend to use too much oil. Their naan tends not to be too fresh. It's a…More »
13. Tandoor India Restaurant
Philadelphia, PA 19104
(215) 222-7122
From the buffet, the chicken biryani is very good. They tend to make their tandoori chicken very spicy for my tastes, and other dishes seem to be heavier on spice than other places. I'm sure that appeals to certain tastes. We ordered chicken tikka…More »
14. Devi Indian Restaurant
Here is the problem with Devi.
This place just will not please everyone. I totally understand that there are some people out there who enjoy a place like this. Vegetarians will enjoy it. People who like South Indian cuisine better than North Indian…More »
Recently updated lists from Steve S.
Delco Diners, and some that aren't in Delco but so what? (25)Nothing makes me happier than a piece of pie and a cup of coffee at a diner counter. To be nice, I'll put all the Delco places first in order of preference, then the non-Delco joints after in order of preference. |
Places to get a good cigar (8)There aren't enough cigar shop reviews on Yelp. I aim to change that. |
Philly Kabob (8)I'm starting a collection of good kabob joints now. You haven't lived until you've had perfectly marinated meat on a stick! List is in order of favorites on the Philly places, with a couple of joints outside of Philly thrown in at the end for good measure. |
5 Southern Delco Joints that belong in the big city (5)There's good for Southern Delco, and then there's good for anywhere! These places rise above the usual restaurant fare we tend to see around these parts. |
