his place made a rainy Thursday night feel like an occasion. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with a delicious drink, wonderful appetizers, and the kind of warm, attentive service where everything seemed to appear before we even had to ask. Refills, little extras, thoughtful touches--anything that could have made us feel more comfortable and cared for was brought to the table. And then the food. Absolutely delicious. Cozy, generous, flavorful, and exactly the meal you want on a rainy night. Indian Grille turned an ordinary Thursday into something genuinely special. We left full, happy, and already looking forward to coming back read more

Our first time here, visiting from out of town, and my dad's first time having biryani. It was excellent! He got shrimp. I had the paneer butter masala, the paneer was fantastic, I did enjoy the sauce although I've had others I liked better. Roti was also great. Highly recommend! read more

Needed some late night eats and called to see how late the kitchen was open. They said 9:15 pm, which is not bad for a Monday night. Fresh and tasty dishes came out quickly. Onion kulcha bread was very good and stuffed with a delicious tasty onion mixture. The aloo gobi with cauliflower and potatoes was very fresh, not overcooked and had such flavorful herbs. The bhindi do pyaza was a sautéed okra dish with onions. It wasn't quite as good as the aloo gobi. Lamb sag was in a good sauce but the meat was a bit overcooked and tough. As far as the service and ambiance, it was mediocre. Not very friendly and they were spraying cleaner on the next table as we were eating that had a very strong smell that interfered with me enjoying my meal. The mithai, the candy bowl at the door, was the highlight. It was a really unique mix of candied fennel Seeds with a little salt and I think candied rose petals. It was fabulous. read more

Manayunk Indian Grille - Dinner for $75 - Indian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Stopped in to grab some take out during the holidays as I was home working; so grateful to have found this place because nothing else was open at the time. Service was quick and the food was delicious. A little disappointed that the butter shrimp dish only included 6 shrimp--ran out before I could finish the rice and sauce. But I'd definitely try this place again and maybe double the protein read more

THE PRICES ON THE MENU ARE LOWER THAN thr PRICE ON THE FINAL BILL! I caught it when reviewing the bill and asked the server about it. Her answer was "yes, many people complain about that". I ASKED WHY DIDN'T YOU TRLL ME WHEN I ORDERED? Her answer: complete silence. It's called fraud. So, no not Going here ever again. read more

The lamb kadai was delicious. I ordered mild and it was filled with spices and flavor. The lamb Rogan Josh had not much flavor but was still decent. The vegetable samosa was the perfect start and u could have eaten naybe 9500. The wait staff kind of ignored us but in a polite manner but made it more difficult to pay and wrap up service. The place was smaller but comfortable. read more

I visited on a Tuesday afternoon with a colleague. We came right before lunch hour ended, apparently the restaurant closes from 2:30-3:30. We walked in at 2:15 and we were greeted immediately. We were seated and proceeded to order vegetable samosas, garlic naan, shrimp tikki masala and lamb saag. All of the food came out quickly and piping hot. There were absolutely no complaints from our table about taste, all the spices of the dishes were on point! We're here in Philly for work, but will probably visit this restaurant again to try other things on the menu. The menu is very extensive. The ambiance is quaint and cozy. Also, we were given complimentary honey buns that were delicious. Try them you won't be disappointed. read more

It was definitely some of the best Indian food in the area! Great atmosphere great service:)

This restaurant used to be Laxmi's (another Indian restaurant) and now it's called Manayunk Indian Grill and under new management. I was really sad when Laxmi's closed down as it was one of my favorite Indian food spot so I was eager to try this spot. We ordered about $100 worth of takeout: biryani, chicken tikka masala, naan, samosas... all spicy. We were excited. I wish I could give this place a good review but the food was very average... I'd say below average. The tikka masala was a bit too sweet and lacked spice and flavor especially the chicken. The biryani was a little better but def not like I remember it from Laxmi's. The samosa were okay with the chutney. We were very disappointed especially for the price point. We don't mind paying for good food but paying a lot for sub par food is just frustrating. read more

Service 5 stars Ambiance amazing Food: Perfect in portion and in price. Amazing flavors too. Butter chicken was vibrant. Lamb Methi Korma was wonderful and had an appropriate "kick" of heat for "mild" spice level. Bread basket was great and is highly recommended if you're there with a group. Don't remember what our friends got but they know this place well from their previous location and doing takeout during Covid. Highly recommend. read more

First time eating at this restaurant. It's located in Manayunk section of Philadelphia, not a huge spot but it is cozy. The food was good, and it appears to be family owned. Service was fine because I was literally the only one dining in. More take away was happening. Over all a decent place to get your Indian food fix. read more

I gotta say I was sold on their IG page where the food looked phenomenal. My bf and I decided to go after Yoga and the main cuisine was good that is why I gave them 3 stars. The salad was iceberg, tomato, carrots, largely cut onions, and shredded mozzarella cheese... No dressing but a few slices of limes. The tomato soup was ok, not tomatoey at all and the pakora was a little burnt but tasted good. The Kheer was, idk what it was but it wasn't rice and sweet milk. it actually seemed like it was cottage cheese, it was aweful! The server was nice. read more

Okay so if you are reading this review, then be aware that the the regular food here is good, pricey, but definitely good. Read on to understand why they lost the 3 stars. First things first, it's a great addition to Main Street and we have ordered from here at least 5 times, all the Indian food is legit great .... I am talking chicken Rogan Josh, Dal tadka, Chicken chettinad, biryani amazing !!! Indochinese is Top notch as well. But why they lost the 3 stars is because the Seekh kebabs are the ones you get at the Indian grocery store in the frozen section, I know because I have eaten them all and compared them side by side, and don't get me wrong the frozen seekh kebabs are good too, just not worth $15 ++ something when I could be getting them for way cheaper! Plus they did not come with the mint sauce. In case you have had these and love them, message me and I will let you know the brand name. I may be too harsh but a good Indian restaurant would not make a mistake like this...... maybe just not have Seekh kebabs on the menu ?!? read more

DO NOT patronize this establishment my family and went into this business July 2025 for what we that would be a healthy meal choice to suite our needs. We were met utter RUDENESS, IGNORANCE and DiSREGARD. The establishment was empty with no other patrons inside. No one approached us with any greeting , or extending a welcome. In fact what appeared to be family members came out from the kitchen are sat at the table next to us , the older Indian female actually had her back facing us. We took notice and left immediately. We are a family of color which I believe is the reason for the lack of service. PLEASE DO NOT PATRONIZE this establishment. read more

Overall, we thought the food was pretty good, but over priced. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Naan, Lamb Vindaloo, Chicken Hakka Noodles, and some Chicken Fried Rice. The food was spiced very well. The service was mediocre. Our server seemed inattentive and we were the only ones in the restaurant, a table of 5. She was young and had an air pod in. She couldn't even hear what we wanted to order, seemed confused as a worker. The paying process was confusing, and she stood right overtop of us waiting for a tip. It made us very uncomfortable. read more

I was looking forward to trying this spot based on the reviews so I ordered saag paneer and navratan korma for delivery. I have eaten some mediocre Indian food in the past, but this was basically inedible slop and I ended up throwing it out after a few bites. Both dishes tasted so, so bad. Weird sour flavors...Possibly some rancid ghee or something..? Even the color of the dishes looked off. Not to be a wiseguy but the spinach looked like baby diarrhea and korma looked like vomit. Total waste of money. Definitely will never, ever go back here again. read more

I have lived around Manayunk for quite a few years now but never tried this place. When it comes to Indian restaurants around here, I've been quite disappointed by the flavors so am wary of trying them. I was pleasantly surprised by the food here though. Ambiance: Its a family owned place and is not that big. It didn't have much of an ambiance but decent decor and seating area. Food: We got the Chilli Chicken, Lamb biryani and chicken biryani, both served with raita which was perfectly made to balance off the spices from the biryani. We asked for it to be made spicy and loved how perfect it was. Service: I think the service can be better. We felt like we needed to constantly get their attention and spent quite sometime waiting. The food did come out quickly Overall, I am super glad to know a place that'll deliver spicy biryani to my place when I am craving some :) read more

Disappointed! Was looking forward to great takeout from here but no! I paid an up charge for salmon instead of tilapia. There was very little salmon in the fish & what was there was over cooked. Do better! Expensive meal that was not good. Why even have tilapia in the menu? Oh it's cheap that's why. I don't mind paying for good food but this was not good! Giving three stars because pick up was east & on time. But wasted gas driving there and on the meal. read more

Good food, good service and pricing is moderate. Portions are generous. Highly recommend.

My partner and I have tried takeout from a few other places that were all a short drive away, and they were all decent but not great. Having moved here recently from Center City, we were bummed that there wasn't a local place with good Indian food. But we finally have one and within walking distance in the Manayunk area! We just ordered takeout from here today (our second time so far since they opened) -- we got Butter Chicken, Vegetable Samosas, Garlic Naan, and Aloo Gobi and it was all delicious! Would highly recommend if you haven't tried them out yet! read more

Always on the lookout for a replacement for my old fave, Kabob and Grill. This place lacks the Pakistani dishes, but they cover many regions and styles of Indian and even Sino-Indian cuisine. No "hurry-curry" here. Spices are unique to their dishes. Can't wait to try more! They WILL respect your spice levels, so don't be shy if you want it REALLY up there. But understand many dishes are spicy but not HOT. read more

Beware of fraudulent charges! Food was great but not sure how an order of the lamb tiki masala (19.99), mango lassi (5.99) and plain naan (3.50) with tip came out to over 55$ that was charged to my credit card. They use a handheld payment processor so the only thing that makes sense is an employee was able to change the total amount. Sorry but I'm not leaving almost a 30$ tip on a 29.50 bill. Silly me for not asking for a receipt. Make sure you all ask for a receipt and be wary. read more

My fiancé and I ordered takeout from here, it was a flawless experience. Not many places have good takeout. We ordered the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. Everything was delicious, well developed flavors. Even when we got home everything was still hot! The portion sizes are good, we were both full, no leftovers, just wish the price reflected the portion size better. read more
