If you show up at a popular Italian restaurant Saturday night without a reservation, it's likely…read moreyou won't get in, especially during Restaurant Week. We didn't. So we drove to Saffron Kitchen, thinking our chances were better. I like the ambience of Saffron. While my favorite Indian restaurant is a hole-in-the wall a few miles away, I was happy to be here. A waiter handed us menus that didn't include the prix-fixe dinner we came in for. "We have October specials. That's it," he said. "Nope, please check with the manager," I responded. And I was right. (Anyone coming in through October 25th might request the Restaurant Week menu, which may -- or may not -- be of interest.) The prix-fixe is $30 per person. Dinner was great, with leftovers enough for another meal. The appetizer was my favorite part. We each got a plate with a succulent chicken kabob and what's called 'aloo tikki.' (Was it potato? It was delicious.) There's a choice of four entrees, two being vegetarian. I chose chicken bhuna cooked with onions, green peppers, tomatoes, ginger, and garlic in a light curry. My husband ordered chicken tikka masala in a creamy, spicy tomato sauce. I thought his was better than mine. The plates came with basmati rice and a choice of either butter or garlic naan. You're given badami kheer, an Indian spin on rice pudding, for dessert. It's very good. I noticed there's a small lot to the side of the building, but nonetheless street parking is readily available. Saturday night Saffron had a steady stream of customers, many bringing their own wine. I'm happy to see they remain a byob sans corkage fee.

This is an excellent local alternative to the Tiffin franchise on the Main Line…read more The food is here, imo, is way better than Tiffin's. Ive tried their Paneer Korma and it's exquisite, I think heartier than Tiffin's tbh. It's a small shop, located in a rather overlooked section of Narberth as far as I'm concerned, so there isn't a ton of space but it's very chill and the staff is friendly. Definitely recommend trying Srinagar if you're looking for some different Indian food in the area.

We were looking for another food group out near the Mann Pavilon (outdoor concerts) and came upon…read moreSrinagar. We had been to Narberth once 2 years ago to walk and explore but didn't see this restaurant on that trip. Tried it last night, 8/7/26, for the first time and it checks so many boxes. First off, they were super attentative and polite when we called to make our reservation and our call from the car to inform of a traffic delay. The place is clean, except unfortunately since they do a lot of take out as we had observed, lots a flies get in and buzz around (exterminated 4 at our table during the course of our dining experience.) But don't let that dissuade you. They have a large menu, and customize levels to fit eveyone's taste. When trying new Indian restaurants we usually start off with basic dishes to get a feel from their cooking style. We shared two dishes: llamb rogan jost medium spice and chicken tikka masala aslo medium spice and an order of garlic naan (well 2 orders as we needed more and took some home... it was that good). Both dishes were exactly as expected and both for the most part were tender and moist. Lamb can sometimes be chewy. We loved our choices and dunked away into the sauces with the naan. Street meter parking and they are BYOB. We have booked marked Srinagar for a future pre-concert dinner in the area of the Mann Pavilon. See my food photos

Top tip: try the Ekta Naan. It's unusual and addictive.

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.

Out of all the Indian food spots in the area, this one is by far the best--not just in my…read moreneighborhood but probably in all of Philadelphia. In my opinion, it even surpasses Tiffin (which isn't bad, but as a chain, it has a more limited menu). What makes this place stand out is how well they live up to their name, "New Era," by incorporating Indian culture into every dish while also offering something fresh and unique. Having visited both North and South India, I can say they've managed to honor traditional flavors while also catering to broader tastes in a way that feels rare and innovative. As a pescatarian who also eats lamb and turkey (but not beef, chicken, or pork), I'm thrilled by their variety of salmon and lamb dishes--something you don't often see, especially with salmon, which isn't as popular in India. The Salmon Kurma is one of my favorites, blending creamy and aromatic spices beautifully, and the Lamb Tikka Masala is just as impressive. They also offer a great range of naan and roti breads to pair with their dishes. For the quality of food, what you pay is worth every penny. While they're a fantastic option for dining in (the ambiance is quiet and a bit on the romantic lighting side), I often order and pick up, and the service is always excellent. This spot is a gem for Indian cuisine lovers, especially those looking for something beyond the usual offerings. Highly recommend!

When I read my prior review I was reminded to avoid anything made in the tandoor. (Our meal last…read moretime was over-cooked.) HOWEVER I thought they did a stellar job with sauce, which is what brought us back. I went with my second favorite dish, chicken korma. The sauce was great, the chicken a bit dry. Deviating from his usual vindaloo, T lived in the fast lane (ha!) and ordered lamb roganjosh. The sauce was excellent, described in the menu as "yogurt, onions, ginger and garlic in a traditional curry" but there's the unmistakable addition of cinnamon. And it works! Our appetizer, tangy eggplant, was crisp and spicy with a portion large enough to feed four as a starter. What made the evening notable were four delightful octogenarians seated next to us. I was tasked with the awesome responsibility of guiding them through the menu. My recommendations luckily were well received. The restaurant was practically empty Saturday evening. "I guess the waitress is too busy to come over," one of our new friends said sarcastically. Which brings me to the help. Our server, the same person we had last time, is noticeably timid, hesitant to effectively interact with her customers. The neighboring table agreed and continued to wait patiently. Nirvana is still considered a byob, though they may actually serve alcohol. In any case, they now impose a $10 corkage fee, when before they charged nothing.

I was excited when I saw the work being done on the building and happy to see Nirvana Indian Bistro open their doors a few weeks ago. They removed the booths from the front windows and replaced them with tables, updated the bathrooms, and cut the bar in half to make the front end the hostess station, the back half appears to be storage. I don't eat a lot of Indian food but do love Chicken Tikka Masala. They have 7 levels of spice from mild to very spicy. I went with Indian spicy which is the 5th hottest and didn't break a sweat. I'll go with one of the hotter choices next time. Came with rice and I got the Peshwari Naan. Everything was tasty and the servers were very friendly, I'll definitely be back and see if I can break a sweat next time.

Like wow it is incredible and the portion sizes are very generous. Onto the food! I've ordered the Butter Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Mango Shrimp, and Saag Paneer. You can tell with the beautiful colors and rich creamy texture of the sauces of the food that it was going to be amazing and it truly was. The butter chicken had a vibrant orange color and a delicious creamy velvety sauce was so flavorful and just incredible. Wow. The saag paneer was an insanely good flavor and was perfectly creamy. The Tandoori Chicken was tender and spicy and so authentic tasting. The chicken was so tender and a little charred but never even remotely dry or lacking flavor. Lastly, the mango shrimp had the most perfect blend of sweet and savory curry. I could rave about it all forever from the creaminess and perfect blend of spices in each bite from every dish. The only thing is that the garlic naan isn't as fluffy as I prefer, but I think it is objectively quality and good naan that there was a really good garlic flavor and I really want to try the other naans as there are a lot of fun options. I really want to try the Malai Kofta as well based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews, so I definitely will be in the future. Also there are so many things on the menu I want to try including more curries and the chaats. They also have a great selection of lassis that I want to try as well. I highly recommend trying this spot out if you want phenomenal Indian food.
