Indian Restaurant

I’m sure that I only got a half-​made chaat. The takeout container just had a single layer of chickpeas and a lemon slice. There was no potato, no onion, no chutney, no spices. Utterly horrible. If I hadn’t been a 40 minute walk back to the restaurant I would have returned it. I called to complain and got an offer of a free samosa, but I won’t be returning to Indian Restaurant.

We visited the restaurant today. Great service, great delicious food and great price. Fantastic! very pleasent!!! I do not remember the names, but you guys were so nice. Thank you!

I am not sure why this is not five stars on Unilocal.Went here with my friends last night and it was amazing. Ordered chicken tikka masala and chicken achari both of which were very good!
Service was great as well.
Will definitely be going back.

I happened to be in the area and just stumbled upon this restaurant. Tried to figure out their Unilocal reviews, but I was on my phone and with a name like ‘Indian Restaurant’ …I had a little trouble. Good thing too, because the reviews are pretty negative and would have definitely deterred me! Sorry guys, my food was amazing! The waiters were super attentive, and the spice levels were super spicy just like we asked. A bit more expensive than other Indian restaurants, but nothing crazy. I had the saag paneer, which coincidentally I just tried to make at home a couple weeks ago. This made me realize how bad my version really was. All around good experience.

This place is horrible. The food does not taste like what you ordered — dramatic creative liberty taken with traditional dishes but I guess they don’t believe you’ll know the difference. The customer service is horrible. This is the third time I gave it a try (because it’s really close to where I live) but I won’t be doing it again.

We ordered delivery from this place a few times a month. The food is really good and delivered within the time frame promised.

I REALLY wish I read some Unilocal reviews before placing my delivery order from here this past Tuesday. I should have known with the generic name «indian restaurant»…
So things started off on the wrong foot when the delivery guy lied and told me he was «downstairs». I work near City Hall so he couldn’t find parking right in front of the building and I ended up waiting a good 10 minutes for him to find parking and walk over to me to bring me my food. Didn’t help that I was actually having an extremely busy day, so I could have used those 10 minutes. I wish he would have just told me when he was ACTUALLY downstairs.
The food was ridiculously bland for indian cuisine — no heat and no flavor. I ordered veggie samosas and saag paneer (what they’re supposed to be known for) and both were extremely dissapointing. The only good piece of food I got was the naan. I will say they have large portions, I got about 3 meals out of the serving size — but the second 2 times I ate the dish I had to add my own spices and sauces to make it better.

Never again.
Delivery: They will lie and tell you 45 minutes to an hour. It will, every single time, take AT LEAST 1 and half hours, and 3 phone calls asking where your food is before you get it. And I live 4 blocks away. This last time my order did not only take almost 2 hours to get to me, but it was missing items. When I called to ask where they were, they kept me on hold for 10 minutes and then hung up on me. If I hadn’t paid cash, I would have disputed the charges.
I’ve been dining in and ordering from here for years. I will never do that again. The food is so inconsistent. Some days it’s great, other days it’s so full of cardamom pods it’s inedible.
Skip it.

Goodluck ordering from this place. Food is mediocre but the customer service is awful. Normally I wouldn’t put up such a harsh review but it is important that others know about this.
I have ordered from this place twice and both the times I had a terrible experience. Staff is rude. They have some serious attitude issues. The delivery guy even left the food at the reception without calling me up or leaving an apt number .
I don’t trust them anymore after such nasty behavior and rude comments.

Lousy service. It is Friday night and 1 hour and 40 minutes after ordering my food on the phone i am still waiting. When i called to get an explanation they had no clue where the delivery guy is.
Order somewhere else, horrible place

I hate throwing a business a one-​star but I would insist to rethink visiting here if they were considering coming here. We ordered delivery from here and I have never been more disappointed with Indian food in my life.
Firstly, the Chana Chat– a description of chickpeas, potato and onion, was a ¾cup of chickpeas dumped on some shredded lettuce. No flavoring, no temperature. Incredibly underwhelming.
Boyfriend got the Chicken Vindaloo and I got the Mixed Vegetable Curry. The vindaloo was a sauce dumped on pre-​steamed ingredients and the «curry» was a watered down spice combination with a few chunks of potato, carrot and zucchini.
The rice was made with too much water, the naan was the only thing that was fine. If I wanted garlicky bread, I’ll go for pizza next time for a fifth of the cost.
Don’t order delivery here: good luck if you’re heading there in person.

Decided to give this place another chance after a couple of service hiccups. What a mistake. This time, the food was borderline inedible. At varying points, I really thought that they had simply poured water into our dishes because they were diluted, bland, and disgusting. The tikka masala sauce was drippy and flavorless, chicken was overcooked. The saag paneer was equally drippy and the paneer was also overcooked. Samosas were overfried and crumbly. The naan was unevenly cooked, probably because the dough was uneven and way too thick and chewy. Will never go here or order from here ever again.

I have been wanting to go here for a very long time. I was not disappointed! It is a very comfortable BYOB. Their service was great. They didn’t rush you and you didn’t feel forgotten. The food… DELICIOUS. I highly recommend the Shrimp Tandoori Masala. I wanted to roll around in it, it was so damn good! I will be back many times. I’m hellbent on trying everything (vegetarian) on their menu. I’m grateful they’re so close to home.

Nothing has changed, still fantastic. Packed with happy diners on a Saturday night. BYOB and enjoy a delectable meal for two for less than $ 40 before tip.
PS while I wait here for my takeout, I just received a free creamy Mango Lassi. Mmmmm

We had great service this past saturday because there was literally no one in the restaurant at 1pm, but unfortunately after eating chicken tikka marsala, garlic naan & saag paneer, both my friend and I had stomach pains… I’m not sure if I would come again because I don’t have this problem at my other favorite indian spots :(

After several times ordering from here without a problem, my latest experience with Indian Restaurant has soured me forever. Placed an order online, waited about 75 minutes before getting a bit impatient (they were usually there within 30 – 45 minutes). No one answered. Called again. No answer.
Had to call GrubHub, who then put me on hold while they called the restaurant. I guess they finally got through because someone there said my food was on the way and would be there within 10 minutes.
Fast forward 25 minutes… no food. Call restaurant. Someone eventually picks up, tells me my food will be going out soon. He just doesn’t know when his driver is coming in.
So they were lying to me (and to GrubHub) the whole time. They had no idea when or if they would ever deliver my food, but had no problem wasting nearly two hours of my time (and taking my money).
Canceled my order and will never eat there again.

I have ordered from this place several times before and I’ve always had a decent experience. This time, I wanted to order their lunch special ($ 10.95) and a samosa appetizer ($ 3.95). Since I’d never had their lunch special before, I decided to call them up and find out what it would entail.
They guy who picked up the call, was gruff in his manner, but I’m not one to hold this against a restaurant. I ask him about the lunch special and the first thing he says is «what’s the phone number?» Um… okay…fine. I give him my phone number and he starts an order. I go along because, hey, I wanted to order some food anyway. Then he tells me that the total falls well short of the $ 15minimum (Which would not be the case if I ordered over Eat24). So I ordered another set of samosas. Now he tells me the total is $ 20.36, and by now I’m extremely uncomfortable with the prices I’ve been quoted. So I politely tell him that I would like to cancel this one and order online. To which he seemed to agree, and even advised me to remember the $ 15 minimum.
I order online and my total comes up to $ 16.90 without tip as opposed to the $ 20.36 he would’ve charged me. Relieved at having made the right decision, I go about my day. 5 minutes later, I get a call from the restaurant and some guy (the same one I talked to earlier) starts YELLING at me for having made ‘duplicate’ orders. He didn’t even let me get a word in! When he calmed down enough for me to remind him that I told him very clearly about cancelling, he started yelling again. And when I told him to simply cancel the first order, he yells again about how ‘its a computer and he cannot change it’ and he would be cancelling both my orders. Wow.
Turns out this guy is the manager of the restaurant. What a shitty service. The management is going to run this place to the ground, and I don’t think I’ll be sorry when it goes to dust. Avoid avoid avoid! You’d be much better off at Minar Palace, where the management is much nicer to talk to and the food is much better than this sorry excuse for Indian food.

I love their chicken korma, which I get as a take-​out dish regularly. Even my sweetheart, who does not like Indian food, enjoyed the chicken tandoori and the naam bread. Dining at the restaurant is just a ho-​hum experience, but I LOVE the take-​out, as I live right around the corner. If the creepy mannequin of an Indian woman at the entrance doesn’t scare you away, you will enjoy the food!

I ordered a lassi, waited for 15 Minutes, got a really bad thing. I couldn’t take a couple of sips as it was incorrigible. It’s not even about the quality of food, but its about the service. I was rushed to order when I just was asking for some time, the server stared at me. The server poured water onto my dress, table and onto my cell phone and didn’t even apologize. It’s the worst place I’ve ever eaten.

This USED to be my go to Indian restaurant in philly. Only because they were the few Indian restaurants that offer bindi masala near me. The food I have to give 2.5 stars, it’s made for the American palette. But the main reason why I will be choosing to spend my money elsewhere and will not be returning, is my sister and I tried to dine there tonight we came in a little before 930 and one of the guys (I’m guessing the manager or owner judging by the way he was dressed differently than the other waiters) was already huffing and puffing that we came in, wasn’t pleasant or welcoming, he just simply said we close at 10 ok so you need to hurry and order. He sat us down and came back with our menus and repeated that we need to hurry, order the food, eat and leave by 10 sounding very impatient and angry and not at all in a pleasant manner. He didn’t sound like he wanted us or our business there so I said to my sister I don’t feel like supporting this business and we got up and left.
To the manager who rudely «served» us, if you are reading this, I just want you to know we already knew what we wanted, we’ve frequented your restaurant so many times. And now I will never recommend your restaurant to any of my friends.

Whenever I’m in the city and my friends and we want indian food, we always come here! I always get the chicken tikka masala with naan and their basmati rice. It ALWAYS hits the spot. The service is excellent, very nice people! Love this place! :)

It’s a shame I have to write this review. I normally like this place, but I went in last night with four other people and the waitstaff were unbelievable. They double charged us for things, also charged us $ 13 for a basket of bread and when I asked to see it on the menu they said «it wasn’t listed.» That’s a scam. We paid for everything though because we didn’t feel like bothering to fight with them. Not planning on going back though because who wants to go to a restaurant that charges you for food you didn’t eat and makes up astronomical prices for unlisted menu prices. They also stood at our table and hovered over us while we filled in our cc receipts. What are you doing?!?
Watch your bill, they’re shiesty.

Been here along with my friends.
The place is small but very nice ambience. It is very clean and hygiene too.
We’ve ordered Veg Biryani, Chick Biryani, Roti, Lamb Curry.
I’m disappointed with Veg Biryani as it is like a curry rice with too many vegetables.
Chicken Biryani was also not so great.
Roth and Lamb curry were really good and tasty.
Finally, Lassi is too good.
Prices are high. service is good but not really quick.

Always get the tandoori chicken for delivery. It’s fantastic! It’s a bit pricey but I always ask for white meat only and it ends up being 2 chicken breasts with rice for one portion.
The garlic naan is always fresh and not greasy.
I’ve tried a few vegetarian dishes, they are only ok. I’ve tried the vegetable korma, saag paneer, and paneer makhani. I would get either paneer dish again though probably ask for a little more heat.

2 Star — «Meh. I’ve experienced better» sums it all.
I really have to say that it was really mediocre Indian food. The first issue was that when I called, I was ready to give my credit card number over the phone (delivery order)… the gentleman was really nice to say, «10% off you actually pay by cash»… Great right? I told him I only had a 100 dollar bill though, so I clearly said I would need change, he acknowledged by saying «of course they have change»…
30 minutes later, the delivery guy arrived and didn’t have any change readily available. I called, talked to the same guy on the phone… told him the situation for him to tell me «well now you have to pay full price, no discount, I have to pay credit card fee for processing credit card so no 10% discount»… Now, though some readers might say, well if you had cash you would have been fine — and though I understand the whole having a credit card processing fee… but it would have started a first time buyer «relationship» on a high by showing good customer service…
So already there, out of 5 stars, I deducted 1 star.
Next… it’s all about the food that could save the day right?
Ordered Samosas, Chicken Tikki Masala, Chicken Korma and garlic naan. (only coming with 1 order of basmati rice… oddly supposed to come with two as I asked over the phone when ordering 2 main dishes)… whatever let’s eat!
If you are familiar with the city… there’s an Indian Restaurant «Minar Palace». If you know about it, I would like to know what you think about it… if you don’t, I’m recommending it… cause the entire time I was eating the indian food from this place… I kept thinking… Minar Palace is SO much better. Roughly the same price, the flavors are better at Minar and just kept thinking of the food there.
deducted 2 stars from there.
Food here wasn’t terrible… wasn’t great. But let’s just say I wanted to try somewhere «new and different» for a change and I kind of regret that decision.

We ordered the onion fritters (Bhuija), they were very tasty and I’m sure even better if not ordered for take out, as they got a little soggy. The veggie samosas were also delicious and retained their crispy shell on the journey home. The saag paneer was mild in flavor, the paneer was in good sized chunks.

Really excited to order from here for Diwali!
But…highly disappointed.
All the food was very evidently frozen and not fresh. That’s all I have to say about the food-​not fresh and so obvious in the flavors. or lack there of.
Ordered the bhaigan bartha (eggplant) and saag paneer (cheese and spinach) for $ 11 each. Came with unproportional amount of basmatic rice (but all restaurants do that so no points deducted).
The food was ready quickly (got takeout) but. I’m definitely going to go elsewhere next time I’m craving my mom’s cooking.
And seriously… the name is «Indian restaurant???
