    Tiffin Fairmount has an incredible chef and their cauliflower bezule is hands down the best vegetarian appetizer in Philadelphia.

    Thanal is our go-to spot for Indian takeout, but we finally dined in for the first time during…read moreRestaurant Week. It felt like the perfect chance to try some dishes we don't usually order while getting a good deal. Overall, the Restaurant Week menu was a solid value (up to $18 worth of extra food). While the dishes we ordered didn't quite beat our usual favorites, everything was still tasty. The restaurant itself is clean and well ventilated. It's also baby-friendly--they have high chairs, and although it can get a bit loud when busy, our little one didn't seem to mind at all. Big bonus points for convenient onsite parking with validation. It was freezing out, so being able to park and walk right in was a huge plus. The staff were very professional. One dish came out undercooked, and our server fixed it immediately. The Restaurant Week drink specials were just okay--I'd probably skip those next time. Since Thanal is already a regular in our takeout rotation, we'll definitely be ordering again soon. I'd also happily dine in again during the next Restaurant Week.

Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 4/5 Parking - Street Parking Atmosphere - The restaurant is on the smaller side, but they did a great job maximizing the space they have. The ambiance and decorations are a very nice touch, and everything feels clean and well kept. Service - Even though we came on a Friday without a reservation, they were able to seat us within 20 minutes, which we really appreciated. Overall, the service was excellent. What We Ordered - Plain Paratha - which was not as good as the paratha I have had at other restaurants Saag Paneer - which was very good Lamb Karahi - which was also very good Final Thoughts - I would definitely come back if we are in the area again to try more items from the menu.

    Sura was a gem of a find on Christmas Eve…read more After walking through the Philadelphia Christmas Market on a cool Christmas Eve afternoon, we were ready for a warm happy hour spot to unwind. We stumbled across Sura and managed to grab a reservation literally fifteen minutes before arriving. Good thing we did, because the place was packed, which was surprising for Christmas Eve and a good sign that others had the same idea. From the moment we walked in, the space stood out. The entrance features a floor-to-ceiling garden wall that immediately sets the tone. Inside, the decor is moody in the best way, warm lighting, a beautiful back bar, and a dining room that feels stylish without being pretentious. The food was excellent and the drinks were just as good. Bold, comforting flavors that felt perfect for the weather and the time of year. Everything we ordered hit, and we would absolutely return just for the menu alone. The only thing that kept this from being a five-star visit was the service. While not bad, it felt a bit less engaged than the rest of the experience, and we were not informed that a 21% gratuity was already included for our party of four, which would have been appreciated upfront. That said, the quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the overall experience easily outweigh that hiccup. If you are downtown, especially during the holidays or after exploring the Christmas market, Sura is a great place to warm up, enjoy a drink, and settle in.

The fried cauliflower had the perfect amount of heat and still had great snap The lamb biriyani was delicious as well. Please be careful that it does not specify that it has nuts unless you ask. The lamb had no gaminess, meaning it was marinated for a while. The porata was a little underwhelming but the naan was good. The chili chicken was great. Unfortunately, I tried getting the spicy version and regretted it. But that's on me. I definitely had the runs for the next 24 hours cause my stomach couldn't deal with the heat. Would definitely order from here again

I went with a large group of friends (7) and they quickly brought out tables from the back and chairs in order to fit all of us. We all got different curries and were sooo impressed by the quality! I highly recommend the pumpkin chicken curry- so unique and flavorful! Overall, everything was perfect, and for the amount, it is definitely worth the price. You get unlimited rice when you dine in, and I also loveddd the naan, which were perfect sides for the curries. I can't wait to be back!

    After craving for Tandoori chicken, I came here with a group of friends for an early dinner today…read more I must say that the dish was nothing short of amazing since the piping hot chicken pieces served on the sizzling plate was exactly what I wanted. The other dishes our table also ordered include Gobi Manchurian, Chapati Murg Tikk, Murg Adraki, garlic naan, onion naan, butter naan, butter chicken, Malai kofta, and Lachha Paratha. While I loved everything, butter chicken was my favorite. Butter naan was also melt-in-your-mouth good, and I simply couldn't get enough of it. What also tops the experience overall was the Mango Lassi drink. For some reason, I never got to try this drink until today. At the first sip, I couldn't believe how good it was. I soooo loved this slightly sweet, tangy, and aromatically wonderful mango drink so much that I must have more of it at the next chance I get. Service here is no frills yet adequate and professional. Our server was helpful in catering to our needy requests (we had to return butter chicken back initially since it was too spicy), and he definitely ran the show solo as he's the only one who manned the dining area while we were there with another table today. Since the place is a bit small and cozy, I liked that it provided an intimate setting for a get-together with friends or family. I wouldn't mind returning to Saffron to try out more of their other dishes soon.

The lunch buffet was pretty slow around 1:30, but all the food was still out and warm. The chicken biryani was my favorite, but the lamb saag dal was also delicious and the samosas. The food was well-seasoned and a little spicy which is just how I like it! The naan was just ok and so was the chicken tikka masala. I've had better Indian food but this was still pretty good. They also make their own mango soft serve in house which tasted delicious. They offer student discounts as well. Overall: good Indian buffet place near Drexel with great prices and a satisfying selection.

We found parking in a lot right beside the building. The staff was friendly and patient with my questions. I appreciated that they had spice levels since we had a mix of people wanting their food mild and spicy. The buffet looked appealing and the seating areas were clean. The inside was nice and pretty big. I imagine they are packed during busier times. We were taking our order to go, but the buffet looks like a good time. We ordered Veggie Samosas, Paneer Makhni - cheese cubes cooked in a tomato sauce with butter [gluten-free], mild and spicy Butter Chicken (Makhni) tender pieces of chicken tandoori cooked in a fresh tomato sauce with butter [gluten-free] and Chicken Tandoori half chicken marinated in yogurt and herbs, then barbecued [gluten-free]. Some plain naan and for dessert Gulab Jamun home-made milk-balls dipped in honey syrup. I really enjoyed the flavors of the spicy Chicken Makhni. The meat was tender and the tomato sauce had a range of spices that made it hard to say when! The chicken tandoori had nice flavors too, but the meat was a tad dry. The Paneer was good, but the star of the show was the Chicken Makhni. Throw some rice and mint chutney in with the chicken makhni and naan .... Happiness .... I would love to return to try a Biryani. The Gulab Jamun was a miss. It lacked the syrup flavor I'm used to. The pricing was around $33 per person for what we ordered. There were leftovers. I would recommend ordering ahead as the wait time was a bit long. Everyone was stuffed and happy that we tried New Delhi. I'd repeat more often if I lived in the area.

We got the chicken korma, which came with juicy chicken thigh meat, cooked in a coconut, cashew, and almond sauce. You could tell the chicken had been marinating in the curry for hours, and it was just so addicting creamy. We also got the saag paneer which is a bit more bitter and earthy, and had so much spinach. Such a nice contrast from the creaminess of the chicken korma, and made for a lighter bite. Wish they had more paneer in it - so yum!! Love a chewy firm tofu like block of cheese. Both entrees come with rice for free!! The Kashmiri naan was absolutely INSANE!! I've never had it, and didn't realize how amazing naan could taste. This was not soft like traditional naan, but rather was crispy and came with nuts, honey in between the layers, and glacé cherries. I don't even like cherries, and I found this insanely good. Could def just eat on its own, especially fresh out of the oven! Our server was really kind and gave us sooo much time to figure out what we wanted to eat. Checked in on us a few times too!
