They call themselves "authentic" Indian ?? Lol. That's like calling Popeyes authentic Cajun cuisine. Ordered two chicken biryanis . I was served two plates of rice with random spices and two small nugget sized pieces of chicken . I grew up near Jersey City, NJ, and know what real biryani is. It's supposed to be cooked in the oven in a clay pot, not stirfried like lo-mein. read more

Saffron Patch - Authentic Indian Restaurant - a bowl of rice - Indian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Our go to Indian delivery spot with generous portions. Garlic naan, veggie and lamb samosa, butter chicken, and saag paneer are great.

Absolutely delicious! I had the vegetable Korma and garlic naan and would highly recommend it. I cannot wait to order again! So good - try this place!!!! read more

This is the best Indian food in Philly, not just south Philly but the entire city of Philadelphia. Ive eaten at upscale Indian restaurants such as Veda, karma and Indeblue and this little hole in the wall beats them cause of the authenticity of the dishes. I just went to a North Indian restaurant in Edison (essentially part of India) and all I could think about is how much better Saffron's chicken tikka is compared to their's. I order it medium spicy and it has the PERFECT kick to it. I am also shocked how amazing their naan (bread) is as well. When I order Indian takeout I'm prepared to get lesser quality naan compared to those upscale restaurants I've discussed, however this is not the case for Saffron at all. Their laccha paratha is so flakey and so perfect every time I want to cry. This place is the definition of a gem and l really hate to see 1 star reviews complaining about their delivery or order experience. This is in my top 3 of best Indian food I have ever tried and man I have dined at an insane amount of Indian restaurants. read more

Got delivery Arrived before time quoted which was a plus It was a cold night in philly and didn't want to leave hotel Palak paneer was fantastic Chili cheese naan bread terrific Lamb meat samosa however I did not like All in all 4/5 stars Would order again or go in person read more

I love Saffron Patch! I lived in India for a short while and I have to say they might have the best Northern Indian food in Philly. My go-to favorite is the Chat Papri, its a great light accompaniment to the heavier saucy dishes. Their naan is so fresh, and the Aloo Parantha is another favorite (I used to eat it for breakfast in India). All the food is so freshly prepared, you really can't go wrong here. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the grilled meats, but everything else is delicious! read more

Spicy means really spicy! Delicious and fresh. Good portion sizes. Highly recommend the tasty Kabuli Naan! Great for late night take out

Ordered paneer Tikka masala and paneer kahdai and both were zero out of 10. Texture was way off. Zero flavor. Zero spice. Both tasted exactly the same and we couldn't tell which was which. Sad that this is sold as indian food. If you can't make it right just take it off the menu. It's insulting to Indians. Try better or just make your menu smaller based on what you can make good. Avoid this place if you like real indian food. Would give Zero stars but not an option on yelp. read more

Dude .....Dude...... Get ANYTHING on the menu. You can't go wrong. I've eaten about 76% of the menu items. Love em all

1. Papri chat: Granted, this was delivered and I didn't ask for the sauce to be on the side so I can take the blame for the sogginess. But overall, this dish looked like they dumped a half can of chickpeas with the chickpea liquid into an aluminum container. There were a few slices of tomato and I think 2 small pieces of potato and that was it. The "sauce" was not sauce. It was seriously liquid from a chickpea can. This entire dish got fed to my garbage disposal. It was so disgusting. 2. Gobi manchurian: So salty I couldn't even taste anything. It did give me a stomachache though. 3. Samosa: Imagine a baguette wrapped around mashed potatoes. That's what this samosa was like. Disgusting 4. Lamb biryani: Dry lamb. Dry rice. The raita on the side was runny like white water. Prediction: This place will be out of business by the end of the year. read more

Best Indian food in Philadelphia! Lamb biryani is very good and their naan is so soft

Wish I could review this based on the food but I can't. I can only review this based on the fact that we placed on order on here through Uber eats, it was confirmed by the restaurant, then an hour and a half later the Uber driver called to say the place was closed...we ordered during their operating hours and it was confirmed. Bad business practice. read more

Absolutely amazing!!! I ordered through GrubHub and the delivery came so fast, and Hosen was so friendly - and then the food was outstanding on top of the wonderful experience! Best Indian food in the city and warm, welcoming customer service. The most honest 5 stars I ever gave. read more

Horrible. Called to complain that I was disappointed in my order and the person on the other end YELLED at me.

Delivery was delicious and very fast. The food arrived really hot and was a big portion. We really enjoyed and are so happy to have good Indian food in the south philly delivery zone. read more

This was our first time trying this place, and we chose it based on Yelp reviews and its rating in DoorDash. Well, Saffron Patch will be our new go-to Indian place for takeout & delivery. We got the vegetarian appetizer sampler, the paneer tikka masala, the chicken korma, the cheese naan (couldn't resist), and two mango lassis. Everything was delicious and fresh. The veggie pakora, the samosa, and the paneer pakora were spicy but not too spicy, flavorful, light, and perfectly fried - not greasy. The cheese naan was excellent - soft, flavorful, fresh (not dry), and nice & warm. The paneer and the chicken were both fantastic. The seasonings were splendid, and the flavor was spicy with just a hint of sweet. A perfect mix of Indian spices. Delicious. I got three meals out of mine! The mango lassis were thick and soooooo good! What a treat! Possibly the best mango lassi I've ever had. We're so happy to have found this great Indian place that delivers in South Philly. And btw, the DoorDash delivery was FAST and the delivery person was wonderful. Honestly, a great experience, and much appreciated during the COVID-19 situation. read more

Had the fried cauliflower, chicken tikka, and garlic naan. All really fantastic. Came with two sides of rice. Delivery was ahead of schedule. Will definitely be my go to Indian delivery from now on. read more

This restaurant has amazing authentic Indian food. I ordered on Grubhub, and now I look forward to eating there again .

We both love sub-continental cuisine so having an Indian restaurant near us was exciting. But that quickly waned with the complicated ordering process (two phone calls). Then the food arrived with the thinnest and weakest mulligatawny soup I've ever tried. The goat biryani had more bones than meat and was weakly seasoned. The jal farezi was the best of the order, but still extremely thin sauce and just meh. Back to University City we travel. read more

We walked there on a Friday night to grab our take out order. The staff was timely and considerate. The food was delish!! You know you did it right when even the white rice is delectable :) yum x 10 read more

Nice to have good Indian by home. My husband, the vegan, has loved all his entrees. The meat ones are a touch more hit or miss, but not so much it'll stop me from ordering. Side note: I've only ordered take out. read more

The food here is fantastic!! Note for others, the food can be spicy so try the mild version so you can work your way up or down. I like mine mild or not spicy but regardless, the food here was amazing. This is a take out place and I ordered food from here on multiple occassions. The mixed grill and chicken tikka masala was a hit! read more

I love Indian food and this one of very few places that was a disappointment. Indian is supposed to be tasty and spicy and I could not believe how bland their meal was. And the employees working there were not wearing masks nor gloves in May 2020! read more

Best Indian food I've ever had! Can't imagine how some people just write bad reviews to sabotage Excellent restaurants. Shame. This will always be my #1 to go spot no doubt. Excellent food with perfect amount of flavor. read more

Best Indian food I have had in Philly. Ordered chicken tikka masala and veggie samosas.

You have no idea how long I've been looking for a great Indian take out place. I've ordered from them a couple times and each time the food is warm and delicious. Delivery is quick and friendly. The naan and curries are my go-to. Rice always comes with the dishes and it's a great accompaniment to the entries, second to the naan (my favorite is the regular but they have an amazing variety like garlic and onion). Would I order from them again? Absolutely. read more

It's great that there's a new Indian restaurant in this neighborhood....but my first visit did not terribly impress. Hopefully they are just getting their act together. Some confusion at the register and with ordering and the takeaway was not great. Not bad but not great - I will wait a few weeks and give it another try and update. read more

Really happy these guys came to the neighborhood. Good, solid Indian food, made fresh, and for a reasonable price. A new local business I hope sticks around! read more

Best Indian food in south philly. We had the Chana masala, chicken tikka masala and garlic naan bread. Food showed up hit and delivery was quick. Will definitely be ordering again! read more

I ordered the chicken tikki massala and garlic naan. The food was absolutely delicious and authentic. The chicken tikki massala was more oily than I'd like, but my coworkers couldn't stop raving about the food. I'll definitely try this place again! read more

I ordered delivery 01/04/20.Food was good. Portions was big. Only negative think was the delivery guy.He was murmuring when we were talking on the phone to give him directions. He did not respond when I thanked him and just left.If you don't like your job just quit. It could give be 4-5stars but... read more

The chicken was stale and the tandoori tasted real bad! I can tell you that the meat (chicken) used in these dishes are definitely old. The butter chicken was also below average. I will NEVER be ordering from them again. read more

Wow, I was really surprised. I got a chicken wrap and the bread was handmade looked like it was cooked on an open flame and it was huge! Fresh ingredients, it was a lot of food, but I didn't feel heavy. Very friendly family run, there weren't any other customers when I walked in, but they were busy cooking. Don't let the outside fool you, in fact that's the only odd thing, this is homemade restaurant quality food in a rundown takeout location. read more

Couldn't be more impressed with this food. Papadum and naan out of this world for starters. The building blocks of a good meal. Everything is fresh and homemade and made with care. Delicious can't go wrong read more

First time ordering from this place and very impressed! We got chicken tikka and chicken curry and both were so tasty! Asked for mild so my son and wife wouldn't spit it out and it was still very tasty. Food was ready for pickup in 15 mins. Please stick around Tandoor South, will definitely order again! read more

Amazing. I rave to friends about the quick service, flavor of food as well as the quality of the meal. Restaurant employees are kind and genial. Food comes super hot and well made. read more

Horrific customer service. Took over 2.5 hours for delivery. Rude and unapologetic. Couldn't find our order and did nothing for service recovery. Will NEVER eat from here again - and there are way better Indian places around. Stay far far away. read more

Soooo delicious. Was eager to try a good Indian restaurant in South Philly, and this one doesn't disappoint. Ordered the chicken tikka marsala, lamb curry, garlic naan, and gulab and it was all insanely amazing. Beware, I ordered the food mild and it was still a bit spicy, even by my standards. Delivery was pretty prompt too. I think I just found my new go to! read more

I was so happy with my food tonight from Saffron Patch. It was my husband's first time having Indian food EVER so I stayed safe and ordered some basics- garlic naan, veggie samosas, and butter chicken. Didn't know what to expect for level of spicy on the butter chicken, so again stayed safe and ordered the medium spice. It was really good but now we know we could definitely handle the "spicy" or maybe even "extra spicy". He loved everything and I can't wait to order from here again! read more

This is my first time eating at this particular Indian spot. I have a regular place but they were closed today and I really needed some Indian food. The service was friendly and my food was ready on time. Everything was packaged well. However I ordered the chicken tikka masala and it was nothing like how it normally is when I order it anywhere else. The chicken was grilled with onions and peppers without any sauce in sight. I went back into the menu and saw that they have 2 chicken tikka masala on the menu I ordered the first one I saw which is under sizzling grill. But the description of the second one under chicken specialty's wasn't much different. I will say the flavor wasn't bad but simply wasn't what I was expecting. I also ordered the chana saag, which is a first for me but h wanted something different and I wasn't all that impressed with this either. The flavor was ok. Overall this isn't a terrible place but I will stick with my regular place from now on. read more
