i went to this place once expecting good food but it was poor. i'll never go here again, there are plenty of other places. This place should change its name to "come here if you want poor indian food." I am indian by the way.

In order to find the best ethnic foods, I always ask working class natives whenever I find them. The majority of indians i ask 'what is your favorite indian restaurant' answer New Delhi. It really is good and authentic, just don't expect good decorations. And ps, take my advice and ask every native you can where the best ____ food is. You'll be surprised in some cases but you'll also find other places that you had never heard of.

This was the third Indian place I've been to in University City, and I really wasn't all that impressed. The food was fine, but the selection wasn't huge, especially with condiments like raita missing. The atmosphere was pretty dingy as well, and I felt like apologizing to my out-of-town visitor for going there! However, I lived in England for several years where the national dish is curry. So maybe I'm used to a higher standard, but I really think you can do better in this part of town.

I am the anonymous vegan who said this place was awesome. Well, yes, it's awesome the amount of "vegan" food a restaurant can offer when it simply does not really have vegan food. On a return visit, the staff told me that nothing on its buffet was dairy-free. I know that they didn't change every single recipe in a couple of weeks, so someone must have misled me.

I have to take issue with the commenter who said that this is the best Indian food in Philly- this is the best Indian food in the northeast! I just moved back from an 8 year stint in NYC and nowhere, not even at the fancy Indian places, did I find such delicious food! But please don't order from here- I don't want to have to wait longer to get my dinner! In all seriousness- this place is really, really good!

This is by far the best Indian food in the city. I've been to places like Cafe Spice, which is a nicer, cooler rest in old city, and they don't hold a candle. The buffet is somewhere around 10 bucks, less if you're a student (just show your ID for 10% off!!!). Great dishes, great service. Prepare to eat and go home very very very full. Also, the Gulab Jamin(sp?) is out of this world for dessert. I can't recommend it any more!

For less than ten dollars, you can have all the salad, rice, curries, bread, and samosas you want, and it even includes a cup of hot tea. I am vegan, so there were no desserts I could eat, but non-vegans would find it even more of a value, since you are entitled a dessert with the buffet if you like (one per customer). There were at least two vegan curries on the buffet, and with those, the samosas, the salads, etc., I ate very well and left stuffed.
