Philadelphia Chutney Company

Delicious Indian food. It is hard to find good Indian food and Philadelphia Chutney Company has proved themselves to be worthy. There is another place in Center City called Veda or something like that which does not taste like an authentic Indian food. Indian food in US is expensive anyways so you want to get it from a place that is worth your money.

This place is excellent, even if confusingly named. I first went in fully expecting to walk out with a few jars of some amazing chutney from Philadelphia, only to discover that there was zero chutney on premises, or at least none that I could see (and I was too chicken to ask about it). There was, however, first class Indian food. As a recent vegetarian I was pleased to see a variety of vegetarian menu items, and V5 - my favorite so far - smoky eggplant with onions - was amazing. Food service is great too, although expect it to be a little slow during busy hours. Food is served in to-go containers, making it easy to grab the stuff when you're done, although how I resisted not eating everything I'm still not sure. Make sure to get some poori (bread) with your meal and dip into the main dish. Rice is served with the meal as well, and plenty of it, but using poori as the vehicle for the curry adds a certain roundness otherwise absent. It's a favorite lunch spot now, whenever I'm in Philly.

Deliciously Dosas in Philly Center City. Been going here for 7 years now and our office has catered parties from them . Food is always fresh and quality and quantity has been consistent over the years In recent years they have added fusion and North Indian food to their South Indian menu . IMO South Indian food is their forte and they should add some more traditional South Indian dishes to the menu.

Yummy food at a fair price. We went there on a winter evening about 7 and there were a few patrons, but not lines. My husband requested extra spicy Goat Saag and loved every bite. (Even sweating through them.) I enjoyed my Chicken Korma. Both dishes came with rice and plenty of sauce. My naan was also good. I liked my dish, but my husband loved his. He was thoroughly satisfied at the end of his meal. I kind of wish we lived in Philly so we could visit there again.
