We really enjoyed our meals (chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, garlic & plain naan) and the attentive service in this cozy spot. While we were the only folks seated, we noticed many delivery orders being picked up. When we're back in this neighborhood, we'll be sure to visit again. If you're looking for a solid Indian meal with great service, you've found the right place. read more

Order was on time and the food was delicious as usual! Two condiments were included, one a green, cilantro base sauce, which I always enjoy. And a new one, tomato base with sweet onions and a peppery zing to it that was so good that I put some of it on the eggplant dish, and ate the rest of it straight from the little cup! Thumbs up!! read more

I had been to a Tiffin in a different location years ago and enjoyed it. This time, the service was fine, and the server was patient about letting us take chat and catch up with our friends. However, the food really didn't seem fresh. That added to the fact that the ONLY drinks they offer are the ones in the coolers (no hot tea, no coffee, no fresh non-bottled iced tea) really makes me wonder if any food is cooked there at all. Here's what I suspect: they only have a microwave, and they heat up food made at a different Tiffin location. Even the naan did not seem freshly made, but rather like something that was removed from a bag and microwaved. I was very disappointed. The food seems to be of food court quality, not restaurant quality. read more

Thoroughly impressed! I had my reservations...often times as places open multiple locations, they might lose quality, but I can't see that being the case here. First off - portions were large! While being a party of two, we ordered the paneer tikka masala and it is easily two hearty meals (three if you are a small portion eater.) We also ordered the Samosa Chaat and Onion Bhaji - which were fantastic starters. Everything was cooked so well, and we were blown away by their tikka masala sauce. Super rich and creamy, and perfect balance of tomato sauce (tang) and onion sauce. I loved the apps too, and not to mention, their garlic naan is out of this world. Beyond how great the food was, I do have to comment on their service. I ordered through grubhub and accidentally selected the Mount Airy location by mistake. Long story short - I had attempted to cancel my order and there was a miscommunication with grubhub, which threw everything off. So I showed up at location to pick up my order and it wasn't prepared. They quickly rallied with me, apologized for the inconvenience (which none of it was their fault at all) and had me out of there in about 10-15 minutes. They were empathetic and kind, and that will leave a lasting impression for me. This is easily a top Indian spot for us, and can't wait to try it from other locations. read more

Tiffin - Mount Airy - Indian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A great way to earn a zero at a restaurant or food establishment is to serve cold food. Another great way to earn a zero is to give extremely small portions. This place knocked it out of the park being the absolute worst not only making Samosa Chaat incorrectly but then serving it to me cold. The shrimp Curry/ spicy dish had great flavor, but they definitely could have given more shrimp/ protein. The rice was wet and soggy along with the bread. I've gotten food from here before from the Elkins Park location and the food was also terrible from there. I can conclude that the tiffin brand/corporate Indian American entity... really sucks at making American Indian food read more

I decided to finally stop into Tiffin (Mt. Airy) because parking is at a premium, and there was a parking space directly in front of the door. To my surprise the food was picture perfect, the staff was polite and knowledgeable, and the ambiance was quaint and extremely clean, even the bathroom! Way to go and it's in the neighborhood. How convenient read more

I had high hopes with this place after seeing a special on door dash. Everything I ordered came quickly and hot but when I started to dish out the rice, I noticed a bug in the food. I thought okay.. things happen maybe it was just a one off coincidence that a little beetle got into the food. We continued to eat and threw out the container with the bug. Now, onto the samosas...great flavor but mid bite I noticed ANOTHER BUG INSIDE THE FOOD. Disgusting that this place is allowed to operate in such nasty conditions. Wouldn't be surprised if I get food poisoning after this. Beware!!!!! read more

EXCELLENT Indian takeout. So filling and delicious. We played it mostly safe w familiar dishes: Chana masala & samosas, but took a chance Cauliflower Bezule which was extraordinarily good. We selected the eco friendly "reusable containers" option. Our meal came in turquoise snap close containers that attractively held the food and really added to the pleasure of ordering from Tiffin. YES: vegan friendly read more

I was craving Indian like crazy. I ordered delivery: the Dal Makhani and a Rose Lassi. It was plenty for two meals, more bang for my buck. I got the Dal spicy, and it was perfectly spicy. Was also pleased to see a Rose Lassi on the menu as I have never seen that before (usually i see rose milk). It was a delicate rose flavor and very yum. Since I ordered delivery, it was about $40 total, including tip. (I also got two water bottles). 20$ per meal isn't terrible considering I didn't have to leave my house to receive it! The delivery was very quick, too, which is also a plus. I am looking forward to ordering from them again. read more

I always get takeout or delivery. Everything has been delicious. I love their curries and naan. A bit pricey.

I have to say I was very disappointed this go round with my order. I spent a little over $70 and I expected the food quality to be way better. We ordered 2 orders of butter chicken (1 spicy, 1 mild) tandoori roti, classic naan and mango chutney. I have nothing to say about the chutney, naan, and roti. It was consistent with what I usually would expect. The entrees however were not. The sauce was very loose, the chicken was chopped some pieces huge and others were bits? Typically the meat is cubbed. I've been coming here for years and never once had the food quality so poor. I hope next time is a way better experience and that this one time doesn't set the tone for experiences moving forward. read more

The taste and quality of the food was good. However they are pricy and you don't get a lot of food. My curry lamb was $19 and Chicken Tikka was $17 and they came in this small container. I paid about $50 for this order and it didn't even come with forks or napkins. read more

Tiffin - Mount Airy - a cup of coffee and donuts - Indian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Food is always great. People are nice. I have three issues after ordering from them for many years. 1) they never provide utensils even when I order on Uber eats and specifically click "request utensils" , 2) every time I order 2 meals usually w a friend, they give us only 1 container of rice to share. We then have to divide it ourselves and one person can eat out of the rice container and add their food (example tikka masala or butter chicken) while the second person has to try to eat out of the tiny chicken container thats not big enough to even add their rice portion to [give us two containers of rice!] and 3) they are very expensive. I changed to ordering only when there is buy one get one free deals on delivery apps from them. read more

The food is typically delicious. However, this time I ordered lamb curry. What was brought to the table was lamb roganjosh. The waiter tried to convince me that it was curry. There were tomatoes in the sauce and no distict flavor or color of curry powder. I have been eating Indian food my whole life. My father went to Banares University, and when he married my mum, she learned to make curry from scratch. DON'T TRY TO LIE TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. I was going to return the next day with a party of 10. You have now lost my business. read more

Tiffin is ok Indian food. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Saag Paneer are solid, but could use more flavor. I enjoyed the Samosas (we ordered the chicken and the veggie). The naan was fine. I dunno, I feel like the food is a bit overpriced for what you get. I'd probably order again since we have very few decent food options in Mt. Airy. read more

Really good take out, dining room small n very casual. Favorites: chicken chettinad, bhangan barta (eggplant), saag paneer.

INCREDIBLE!! traveling from Chicago & ordered a bunch of food for my week here. It is SO good & spiced perfectly. Each dish is unique & different. Thank you! read more

I've had the pleasure of having this spot 3 different times at work. The butter chicken is a great choice!!! Will definitely be ordering again. read more

All the reviews about not getting your food in a reasonable time are absolutely correct. If you're super hungry, do NOT order from here. I loathe the markup from all these delivery places; grubhub/doordash/postmates etc make a $20 meal for two almost $40 with delivery fees, services fees and taxes on both. When I can, I try to order directly from a restaurants website, or call. Tiffin has a website. Tiffin even allows for credit card payments ON DELIVERY. Whaaaaat!?! Great. So I ordered Samosa Chaat, a meal I've eaten over and over again at a million indian (and indian inspired) establishments. They had a "Game Day Deal" that included three appetizers for $15 (a $6 savings). I ordered this and was excited about how easy I thought Tiffin had made the transaction. A full 1.5 hours later I was on my second call to them asking for the status of my food. Moments later though the driver rang my bell and I hurried to the kitchen to unpack my food. *insert expletives* Samosa Chaat is essentially a chick pea stew with vegetable samosa dropped in. All three containers were JUST SAMOSAS. not a single chickpea, not even the sauces that come with. just dry samosas. Included in the bag were two very large containers of dipping sauces. The containers themselves were labelled "samosa chaat" I'm assuming to ensure the preparer or the customer knew what the content should be.... Due to my hunger I ate the samosas. I should have called an demanded they send the driver back but didnt. A less than heroic move on my part I guess. The food wasnt bad. Wasnt what I ordered either, but the flavors were in line with what I was craving. I dont know that I'll ever offer this place my money, via delivery anyway. And I cant honestly say they I'd recommend anyone else to either. It really just wasnt worth the frustration or disappointment. read more

Tasteless, so they covered it up with salt and sugar. Pakoras were bland. Too expensive for portion size- ridiculous. The lamb Rogan Josh had fake precut garlic that you get in a bottle. It was littered with the stuff. Wouldn't order from here again. Couldn't even finish the meal. read more

Yeap 5 stars! They have 7 locations from Philly to NYC. We ended up going to the one on Mt Airy. It's a cute and quaint restaurant with little decor. Loved the colors, bright red orange on the door and inside restaurant, very inviting. We had little trouble finding parking, give yourself extra time for that. Btw, They have a deal on groupon.com. It's a fantastic deal, not to be missed. The deal consisted of 2 apps, 2 entrees, 1 naan and 2 desserts for $35. For app: * Eggplant chaat: deep fried thin rounds of eggplant topped with yogurt sauce and chaat seasoning. One of the best things I ate that nite. They also provide 3 chutneys on the side; mint, tamarind and pineapple. Great portion. Highly recommended. * Chili chicken: coated chicken prices deep fried, tossed in a soy + chili mixture with bell peppers and onions. It was a good dish but lacked something, little sweetness from brown sugar would've made this stellar. It wasn't as spicy as I would like, very indochinese. Entrees: all the entrees come with a good portion of basmati rice. * lamb chettinaad: South Indian dish, lamb pieces cooked in coconut milk and spices. Very aromatic. I loved the curry, tasted amazing. * chicken tikka masala: one of my favorite dishes but the chicken was little dry here. I think they use chicken breast instead of dark meats. Thighs would be the best pick for this recipe. Again, loved the curry. * Malai Kofta: dumplings made with ground chickpeas and spices, cooked in yogurt curry goodness. OMG, it's sooo good! Dessert: gulab jamun or rice pudding. Wish they had more choices. We went for gulab Jamun: gulab jamun (translated as Rose berry) are a staple in Indian parties and gatherings. Dough made of chickpea flour, deep fried and dunked in a sugar syrup flavored with Rose water, cardomom, cloves and other aromatics. They are served warm but I love them cold. Soo freaking good. Like my fellow yelpers have stated, the prices here are above normal but the groupon did help a lot. Thanks Tiffin for an amazing meal. I'll def be back. read more

Sauces are delicious but this place uses frozen vegetable mix (the peas corn carrot kind) for all of its vegetable dishes. The menu is also misleading because things are labeled that vegetarian things can be made vegan but every time I have asked, they said they can't because they already made it non-vegan. I have given this place a few tries thinking maybe I just ordered the wrong thing but I won't be back. Wish they used fresh vegetables. Not worth $15 for rice and frozen veg in sauce. read more

Update: The last visit was my last. The food was tasteless and nasty again. This Tiffin location can't seem to keep a chef / cook. There is no consistency with their food anymore. Some times it's on point, other times it's too spicy and then at times no flavor. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Another typically generic Northern Indian place geared for timid, non-discriminating Western palates. I've never gotten take out from here, but can't imagine it being better than what is served in house. Service is indifferent, food is forgettable, prices are on the high side for what you get. Each time I've been here, I had to go to the cashier to pay as waiting to get the check was a glacial event. Three banal meals here convinced me there was no reason to return. read more

Tried Tiffin take out for the first time and they nailed it. Food came hot and delicious and will order again!

This review is for dine in service, I've never ordered take out from this location. Last night my husband took me on a date for Indian food. It's rare for us to go since he's not the world's biggest Indian food fan. We had the Garlic Naan which while hot, tasty, and light, could have used a bit more garlic. I had the Tandoori Shrimp which was very good. The shrimp we're cooked perfectly and had good flavor. My husband had the Lamb Korma. He enjoyed his dish, but stated the lamb was slightly overlooked. The restaurant it's self was pleasant and service was friendly and attentive. They are BYO. read more

Tiffin - Mount Airy - Our spread. - Indian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I've never been to India, but I imagine that it's hot, crowded and a bit noisy. This pretty much sums up the physical experience I had tonight at Tiffin - but I'm not sure if it will always be like this, as it just opened a few days ago and anyone dining there in the next few weeks will surely feel their growing pains. While the space is colorful and cute, it's also super, super tiny - which explains why we had to wait on the sidewalk outside for about 40 minutes for a table. Once we were seated, we waited about another 10 minutes for menus - but man, were they prompt in refilling those water glasses! Luckily it's a BYO, so we cracked open the Riesling (note: bring a screw top bottle or your own opener. You could be waiting a while) and waited. And waited. And then waited a little bit more. But when the food did come, it was very good, as I suspected it would be after reading all the glorious other Northern Liberties Tiffin reviews. The Navrattan Korma was deliciously creamy, the Chicken Tikka Masala was not too spicy and apparently the lamb was "tender and earthy" (I'm not a lamb eater, so this is a direct quote from one who is). If they get some air condition in there and speed up the service, I can see this place being 5 stars all the way. So stay tuned..and maybe take advantage of the takeout option for now. read more

Good food that's delivered! What more do you need? I first had this at a friend's place. A week later I was home, hungry, and lazy so I went online and va-va-va-boom the food is in my belly...well not that fast but u get the point. Dishes are especially spicy to me but then again I likes it spicccaeee. Would recommend to others will make this my indian spot until I find something better and closer. I am changing the rating to a 3 (from a 4)- They are good for convenience but as for the taste I came to realize that the meat items aren't soo tasty. The sauce lacks actual flavor/salt. It's like eating with Ms. Dash..the spices have an accent on the dish but no actual flavor. Kinda disappointed toward the end of my meal(week..since I ordered enough food so i didn't have to cook that week) since I ordered a few dishes...I frequently had to add salt which I've never had to do with indian food. Prob won't be ordering from here for a whileeeeee. read more

Miriam has moved to the pretty little hamlet of mt. airy. The best part of her move is she is closer to center city and she is so close to this little cafe. I have had tiffin delivery from northern liberties several times. However, eating in the restaurant is a treat. We had to wait quite a bit, it was a friday night, but it was fun to watch that lady get drunk and the table of teenagers. I was quite impressed with all the choices of beverages from India in glass bottles! Along with lassi's and the like. We shared aloo gobi and butter chicken. The rice was divine and the naan so fine. I heart tiffin! read more

Really disappointed in their service lately. We've ordered delivery from them and the last 3 times, we've had to wait over an hour past the ETA. Today was my final straw with them. Placed order ahead of time for a 7pm delivery. Tried to call and get an update, they didn't answer. It took us calling for over 30 minutes to finally get ahold of someone to find out they forgot about our order. small portions & expensive but the good food kept us coming back but after this 3rd horror of dealing with their unorganized service we are done!!!! read more

It's pretty good food, at an affordable price. The people who run it are really nice. The food is consistently good. It's not super posh food, but it is good quality food, and very flavorful. Also, it's never overly greasy! read more

Inconsistent. Tonight was told there was no delivery person and so ordered from another restaurant only to have a delivery person from Tiffin show up 30 min later. read more

DO ONE THING: Ek Kaam Kar! I wanted to take time to give this restaurant a review as I only usually write reviews if I had an incredibly good experience or an incredibly bad one. I have been coming here for a while and had written a review but it seems to have gotten lost. Let me say this I love everything about the place. The restaurant is not good, it is exquisite. There is an equal balance of simplicity and elegance that makes for the perfect climate of any restaurant. These descriptions are demonstrated by the employees and staff, the design and layout, the menu and food, and the owners and diners. You can come in dressed up on that perfect date or in a tea-shirt and jeans if you want to come in for a relaxed bite. What I will say about this restaurant is this. They put great care into making the diners feel at home. When you come here you are not just a customer, but I do believe you are family. I really do enjoy the owners and the staff especially because they will go out of their way to make you a happy diner. As far as cleanliness there are many restaurants that I wouldn't feel comfortable in but this one is beyond that. Not only are they clean, but I have never encountered a problem with the logistics and layout of the place either. I promise you that you will not be let down if you stop in here. If you haven't tried Indian cuisine because it is too "hot and spicy", you must give them a try as they will ensure your meal is spicy to your liking. They have a great selection of juices. I am particularly fond of the Lychee juice. While I am on the subject of beverages, I will state that if you are "ask nicely" and make a request for a free refill of Hot Masala (Tea) they will do so (but don't let too many know about this.) Please come to this moderately priced restaurant. You won't be let down. Outstanding, Impressive, Memorable and Tasty! read more

Delicious and affordable food. The service is fast and they deliver. What more can you ask for? I'm a fan of the Chana Masala and Malai Kofta. read more

Tiffin is a wonderful Indian restaurant to have in your hood. This small Philadelphia chain has a fine outpost in Mount Airy. It's small and friendly and most importantly serves excellent Indian food from many regions of the Indian sub-continent. Two of my favorite starters here are Onion Bhaji originally from the north of India and Cauliflower Bezule which hails from Mangalore in the south of India. Both are lightly fried and both very tasty. I especially love the lamb dishes at Tiffin (the meat is of good quality) and again you can choose to go south or north. Lamb Chettinad from the Tamil region of the sub-continent would be my top southern choice while Lamb Roganjosh originating all the way in the north in Kashmir (with lots of Persian influences) is my favorite northern lamb dish. Oh and if you only want the more standard Indian foods, Tiffin has you covered there as well. The prices of Tiffin are slightly above your typical Philadelphia Indian restaurant but the quality is also there. Hey and it is BYOB which is always thumbs up! read more

I have only ever ordered take-out from this location, but it is consistently delicious. People may say it's "catering to Western palates" and blah blah, but bottom line, it hits the spot every single time. My go-to order is the Shrimp Tikka Masala with Peshawari naan with almond, coconut, pistachio, and cashew. The prices are steep, I will admit that, but I can usually eat one entree over two meals. The wait times can be long as hell, but the staff are friendly and apologetic. They're definitely doing the best they can with the amount of orders they have coming through. Great for a quick Indian fix, I'll be back time and time again! read more

They are efficient, the food is very good and fresh.

Just left Tiffin with two of my girlfriends and I've got to say it was absolutely delicious. The servings are very large and the rice is unlimited! I'm stuffed and even have leftovers for lunch. The waitress was very friendly and checked on us multiple times during our meal and made sure everything was to our liking. After our meal she asked us what we liked the best and when we shared our favorite sauce she went back and got me and my friends each a little to go container of the sauce! It was a great first experience. I will definitely be back. read more

I thought there food was very delicious! I am pretty picky about Indian food, but their tikka masala was definitely tasty.

We have only had pick up. Everything is authentic and delicious. Don't try above medium for spicy for your first try. This is a go to pick up spot. The cashew curry chicken is excellent. read more
