    Found this hidden gem while looking for Indian/Pakistani food in the area. We tried the chicken biryani and the samosa, and it turned out great, the taste and the spices. Will go again to try other items. The place has few tables and can probably accommodate around 30-40 people. Street parking is available in the front and at the corner of the street.

    Love this place! The paneer korma is so flavorful and we love the chicken biriyani, tikka masala, and saag paneer. The service is always kind and attentive. The prices are decent for the portion size and it's way better quality than Indian places in center city! BYOB and dine in is available until 9:00 PM.

    Because of busy schedules, my Mother's Day celebration was postponed about 3 weeks. All good with me because we ended up here, with a bottle of red and a bottle of white and delicious Indian food! Butter chicken, chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala and red snapper made it to our table along with fried vegetable fritters and 2 veggie samosas. All so very good! The food is fresh and the chicken is tender and the sauces are so good and complex! We enjoyed our food, the sweetest service and a complimentary dish of gulab jamun. There is no longer back porch seating, however, we were told that tables will be set up soon for sidewalk dining. This is a great place for good food!

    Great new addition to west Philly! Probably the best lamb chops I have had out side of home and I said the same thing in my reel on Instagram! We were extremely happy with our visit, it's a clean atmosphere with both outdoor and indoor seating, the food is fresh, flavorful and appetizing. We had a lovely chat with the owner and are looking forward to future visits. The desserts were amazing too! Lam chops 10/10 Chicken tandoor 9/10 Cheese Garlic Naan 10/10 Tandoori Paneer 7/10 Malai Kulfi 10/10 I definitely will be back to try the biryani and some more Lamb chops.

    Good flavors but fairly modest portions. Vindaloo flavor was really great but it felt a bit padded out with potato which is fine, but harder to justify the price. Definitely a great addition to West Philly and everything was served hot and fast.

    I decided to order dinner from this decent restaurant for the first time on 3/8/24. When I say it was finger licking good; there is no lie in that. I ordered through DoorDash and my driver was quick with delivery service. When I received my food everything was as described from the menu. Everything was also a first try except the Naan, which is one of my favorites when it comes to Indian cuisine. The Quail was exquisite especially paired with the Turmeric spices; that's one dish I will be ordering again. Lastly the "tasty" Pakoras. I didn't know a dish like this existed until ordering from Indian Char House. Another favorite of mine. If you are looking for a decent dine in, be sure to give Indian Char House a try!

    The garlic cheese naan is amazing. I also love the Malai Kofta and Paneer Korma. The estimated pickup time is always very accurate too.

    Hidden gem. Sat down and ordered a lot from the menus. Everything was delicious. Great for a quick dine in or order ahead.

    Marrakesh is one of my absolute favorite places to eat in Philadelphia!!…read more I wish it existed in more cities. This is a multicourse journey through Marrakesh that cannot be repeated anywhere else except for maybe in the real Marrakesh. From the Bastilla pastry, which is DIVINE, to the salads, the chicken and kebabs... all the way to the baklava and tea.... there is no bad bite at Marrakesh. The owners are welcoming and super amenable and make you feel like you're coming home every single time you visit. It's in a odd location, and you may feel like you are making a questionable life decision as you walk up the alley to the door, but when you arrive, you realize that in fact, it was one of the best decisions you've made in years!! When you enter, it's like you've been transported to a beautiful room in Morocco. The music, the decor, even the authentic seating make for an unforgettable experience. And if you get really lucky, you also get to see the belly dancers who are top notch! There is not a single thing I can think of to say that Marrakesh needs to improve. It is a one of a kind experience that I feel everyone should have at least once in life!

    What an incredible experience and much better than our last visit almost 7-8 years ago. The last…read moretime we came, the AC was broken on a hot day in the summer and it completely turned me off despite having an amazing visit my first time. I'm so glad my friends wanted to come here to celebrate our Friendsgiving. The food was as good as I remembered , the service as ever warm and welcoming. Since I hadn't been for so long, I ate everything as was prepared - but I'm happy to hear it sounds like they have veg options on their tasting menu. I'm looking forward to trying that my next return. But I couldn't say no to their chicken after almost a decade I highly recommend checking out this business for a delicious family style cooked meal.
