I've been back and forth between NYC and Philadelphia now for several years. It's enabled me to…read moresample foods from both cities....while New York will always be my 'restaurant Mecca', Philly's been a nice touch. I hadn't yet found a truly good Indian restaurant in Philly, until last night. Amma's came close, but fell short due to a goat dish I had with no goat! We happened upon Lilly's by looking for 'good restaurants in the Jenkintown area' on Yelp. Ironically, we'd walked by it dozens of times without noticing it, as there are other stores and restaurants in the area. It had several good reviews and since my partner had NEVER had Indian food before (I know it's hard to believe), I felt this was a must try! We walked in and immediately noticed how nice the interior looked - beautiful murals on the walls, a quiet, a relaxed atmosphere and everything looked clean and new. I knew exactly what we were going to order - the same two dishes I've been having for decades in New York, DC and other Indian restaurants I'd been to....Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Rogan Josh. Of course, we added an order of Naan. I initially judge these dishes based on the quality of the meat - in this case - chicken and lamb. I started with the Tikka Masala - as soon as I tasted a bite of the chicken, I knew we'd come to the right place! It was a delicious piece of lean, tender, white meat that had the most luscious, creamy, tomato based sauce - not too spicy ( we requested a very low 'heat'/spice level. My partner had never tasted a curry sauce before and was very impressed - she loved the dish! Next up, the Lamb Rogan Josh! I was pleasantly surprised to see large, lean, tender chunks of lamb in the pot that was served. The sauce was a little spicier than the Tikka Masala, but had an excellent flavor! It complimented the chicken dish perfectly. Both the lamb and the chicken were high quality meats that enabled these dishes to shine! Not to forget the delicious Naan - I took several scoops of both chicken and lamb and put them between a folded piece of Naan! Lilly's is a gem in Jenkintown - I'm glad we found this great Indian restaurant!

When I brought my food home everything seemed in order, but I have to be honest I just didn't like the Chicken Korma. The spices and taste were just off. This might be a personal taste preference though. There was nothing wrong with the pick up process or anything else that I ordered.

The aloo tiki chat is amazing, will get this every time, tangy from the tamarind, crispy, fresh, doesn't get soggy in delivery. Vegetable biryani is so good, it doesn't take like a vegetable fried rice like a lot of places that make biryani without meat, it's deep spice flavors, generous portion, would get extra raita on the side bc that's great too. The fish tika masala was thick, rich sauce, lots of fish pieces, deeply flavorful, great with any naan dipped in. Would highly recommend if you like tikka masala or butter chicken but don't want meat. Naans, all great, we have had the garlic cheese naan and it's large, hot, cheesy, chunks of garlic on there, so good. The mint tea is very minty and VERY sweet. Not shown is the chili fish, another solid entree, large fish pieces, slightly spicy, in a less saucy preparation than a curry.

My family and I came here with my father-in-law and absolutely loved our meal. My kid found this…read morerestaurant after searching reviews and we wanted to try a new place. Grand Slam Home Run. We found out that most of the people (regulars) who usually come here are on their vacation season so it was not an issue getting a six-top reservation with only a day's notice. The restaurant is huge with at least two mega rooms downstairs and one upstairs. We actually went to the upstairs door to check in only to be told we had to go to the downstairs door and check in there. Once we did, the staff asked if we would be ok with being in the "party" room where there would be a DJ. We were fine with that and the staff was more than happy to accommodate us. Once at our table, the extensive menus made it almost too difficult to decide what we wanted. May want to consider reducing the food options here. My wife and I split a tomahawk steak. Once we ordered it, we were told we should probably move to an eight-top because we would have more space. The place was almost empty at 6:15pm on a Saturday so we got to move and give us some more room. We also had two serving of Plov, a prime NY strip, a roasted beet salad, and a chicken fingers with fries. We added some bread, too, along with some compote. The Plov was some of the best we've ever had with lots of tender meat. Both steaks were cooked to our liking. Fries were killer and the chicken fingers were fine. I did not care for the compote as I'm used to it with fruit still in the drink. At about 7pm, the DJ started but there was no separate party which is what we thought was going to show up. The DJ sang some and played up-tempo dance music but also threw in some known music like Ob-Bla-Dee Ob-Bla-Dah from the Beatles also in the dance music style. So much fun after drinking a lot of our BYOB alcohol. Service was excellent and more than accommodating for us. He even advised when we were getting ready to leave that it was raining hard and we could stay until it died down. The restaurant is colorful with lights and designs on the walls including projector lights and white linen sheets above. The place was clean and also the bathrooms on the lower rear level. $305 not including tip for six adults which included two steaks, two Plov, chicken fingers with fries, three breads, and a compote. I mention a lot with my reviews that I'd come back to a place. I really can't wait to return to Samarkand! It was just a lot of fun with excellent food and service. I hope it's just as good when the place is slammed and full.

I heard the rumors that Priya and Baba of Gurus in Newtown were in the process of buying this…read morerestaurant and was ao happy this was true! They are currently managing but soon will be the owners and the restaurant will have a name change. This location is a BYOB so bring your favorite adult beverage! Priya as usual puts her animal rescue first and is offering a full vegan buffet from 11 to 3. That is donation based. There is no set pricing, donate as you are inclined to support her rescues around the world. I opted to order off the regular menu. It was reunited with my favorite papadi chaat, chili chicken, and garlic cheese naan. I am so excited that I can have my favorite Indian food again and Wil now be a regular and their new Richboro location

I decided to order the viral crispy falafel for myself and a viral crispy chicken shawarma combo for my fiancé from Bishos. I placed my order at 4:06 PM online and walked into the store 20 minutes later. It still wasn't ready so I sat down and enjoyed the lovely ambiance inside. Plenty of seating for customers, an area for photo ops and dates and water for those participating in Ramadan were just some of the perks I noticed. The employees appeared to have been speaking Spanish and they were all friendly with one another. It's clean and airy inside. I definitely want to come back and sit down for a meal. Prices were fair - about $34 for a combo meal (with fries and drink) and my falafel wrap. That includes a service fee and a 10% tip. 15 more minutes had gone by and the woman behind the counter brought my food to me packaged tight inside a brown paper bag. When I arrived at home, that first bite into the viral crispy falafel was unreal. It was so pleasing to hear the crunch, but most importantly, it tasted amazing. The falafel was fresh and so were the other ingredients. My fiancé got the combo with French fries and I can confirm the fries are crispy and seasoned very well. This is my new go-to whenever the taste for falafel hits. Thanks, Bishos!

I also ordered the tofu khatsa, which was very tasty. My only preference would be for the tofu to be marinated or have a little more sauce, as I think that would add even more flavor. The meat in the curry was incredibly tender, and the curry itself was seasoned perfectly. The service was also excellent, everyone was so friendly and hospitable. Will definitely be returning!
