Manayunk Indian grille

The food was solid here at Manayunk Indian Grille. I went for lunch and it wasn’t crowded. My order came out quickly. Pictured is the Chicken Tikka Masala with Butter & Garlic Naan. The creamy sauce had a nice flavor and spice to it. The staff was also friendly.

food was so fresh & flavorful!!! would definitely recommend the saag paneer and chili chicken. portions are definitely good for 1 person. 1-2 if you aren’t that hungry

One of the best dining experiences in Manayunk!! Food so good that makes you want to cry, and so much of it you’ll need to take some home. More than reasonable prices and great service. A new favorite, will be going back often!!

Highly recommend if you love Indian food or looking to try it out. We had the fried pakora, garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and i think kadai chicken is what my friend had. Food was delicious.

The best Indian food I have ever eaten! The Biryani and butter chicken are on fire!!!

Every year we go to a restaurant for Mother’s Day. This year we picked Indian Grille. Food was delicious, fresh and served hot. Service was great also. Treated our family with lots of love and attention. If you are in the area, give it a try for sure.

Second Visit: The person/manager at the reception cursed us in a foreign language while talking to the waitress, and he assumed we wouldn’t understand it while we were seated at the table. I would expect better hospitality from the staff, even when the food is top notch. That’s not how you talk about a customer. First visit: First, we tried the Chicken 65, which was a spicy and tangy appetizer. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the spices were perfectly balanced. Next, we ordered the Chilli Chicken, which was another spicy dish with tender pieces of chicken cooked with bell peppers and onions. The sauce was thick and savory, with just the right amount of heat to make it interesting. The chicken was cooked to perfection and was very flavorful. For my main course, we got the Chicken Hakka Noodle and Chicken Fried Rice. The Chicken Hakka Noodle was a delicious blend of stir-fried noodles with vegetables and tender pieces of chicken. The noodles were cooked al dente, and the chicken was cooked just right, not too dry and not too moist. The Chicken Fried Rice was also well-prepared, with fluffy rice and perfectly seasoned chicken. I would prefer the latter as it a personal preference. Overall, the meal was a delightful culinary experience, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Indian cuisine. The taste reminded me of the authentic Indo-Chinese cuisine that is famous Kolkata, India. The flavors were bold and complex, and the portions were generous. The service was also excellent, with attentive waitstaff who were knowledgeable about the dishes and made great recommendations. So shoutout to Iqbal. If you are looking for a delicious and authentic Indian meal, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

Loved the Chole Bhature and gobi Manchurian here!

The lamb kadai was delicious. I ordered mild and it was filled with spices and flavor. The lamb Rogan Josh had not much flavor but was still decent. The vegetable samosa was the perfect start and u could have eaten naybe 9500. The wait staff kind of ignored us but in a polite manner but made it more difficult to pay and wrap up service. The place was smaller but comfortable.

$20 for 5 pieces of lamb in the vinadloo... INSANE STUFF DO NOT GO. It's so sad when places scam you like this....

I gotta say I was sold on their IG page where the food looked phenomenal. My bf and I decided to go after Yoga and the main cuisine was good that is why I gave them 3 stars. The salad was iceberg, tomato, carrots, largely cut onions, and shredded mozzarella cheese... No dressing but a few slices of limes. The tomato soup was ok, not tomatoey at all and the pakora was a little burnt but tasted good. The Kheer was, idk what it was but it wasn't rice and sweet milk. it actually seemed like it was cottage cheese, it was aweful! The server was nice.

First time eating at this restaurant. It's located in Manayunk section of Philadelphia, not a huge spot but it is cozy. The food was good, and it appears to be family owned. Service was fine because I was literally the only one dining in. More take away was happening. Over all a decent place to get your Indian food fix.

Food is really tasty. Visited second time and enjoyed. And mango lassi wasn't too sweet! Enjoyable.

I visited on a Tuesday afternoon with a colleague. We came right before lunch hour ended, apparently the restaurant closes from 2:30-3:30. We walked in at 2:15 and we were greeted immediately. We were seated and proceeded to order vegetable samosas, garlic naan, shrimp tikki masala and lamb saag. All of the food came out quickly and piping hot. There were absolutely no complaints from our table about taste, all the spices of the dishes were on point! We're here in Philly for work, but will probably visit this restaurant again to try other things on the menu. The menu is very extensive. The ambiance is quaint and cozy. Also, we were given complimentary honey buns that were delicious. Try them you won't be disappointed.

This restaurant used to be Laxmi's (another Indian restaurant) and now it's called Manayunk Indian Grill and under new management. I was really sad when Laxmi's closed down as it was one of my favorite Indian food spot so I was eager to try this spot. We ordered about $100 worth of takeout: biryani, chicken tikka masala, naan, samosas... all spicy. We were excited. I wish I could give this place a good review but the food was very average... I'd say below average. The tikka masala was a bit too sweet and lacked spice and flavor especially the chicken. The biryani was a little better but def not like I remember it from Laxmi's. The samosa were okay with the chutney. We were very disappointed especially for the price point. We don't mind paying for good food but paying a lot for sub par food is just frustrating.

Service 5 stars Ambiance amazing Food: Perfect in portion and in price. Amazing flavors too. Butter chicken was vibrant. Lamb Methi Korma was wonderful and had an appropriate "kick" of heat for "mild" spice level. Bread basket was great and is highly recommended if you're there with a group. Don't remember what our friends got but they know this place well from their previous location and doing takeout during Covid. Highly recommend.

Every item we had from the samosas to the garlic Naan were deliciously fresh. The chef talked about honing the spices in his 20 years experience and it showed. The ambiance is lovely and the prices just right. Highly recommended.

A group of six of us visited for dinner and everything was wonderful. The tangy eggplant should not be missed! The staff was accommodating and attentive, and the food was wonderful! Thank you for a great evening!

The food came out piping hot and the server was incredibly friendly. I will definitely be coming back here.

was very racist and the food wasn't prepared properly will never come here again as well me and my wife wasn't served properly thanks but no thanks

Okay so if you are reading this review, then be aware that the the regular food here is good, pricey, but definitely good. Read on to understand why they lost the 3 stars. First things first, it's a great addition to Main Street and we have ordered from here at least 5 times, all the Indian food is legit great .... I am talking chicken Rogan Josh, Dal tadka, Chicken chettinad, biryani amazing !!! Indochinese is Top notch as well. But why they lost the 3 stars is because the Seekh kebabs are the ones you get at the Indian grocery store in the frozen section, I know because I have eaten them all and compared them side by side, and don't get me wrong the frozen seekh kebabs are good too, just not worth $15 ++ something when I could be getting them for way cheaper! Plus they did not come with the mint sauce. In case you have had these and love them, message me and I will let you know the brand name. I may be too harsh but a good Indian restaurant would not make a mistake like this...... maybe just not have Seekh kebabs on the menu ?!?

Overall, we thought the food was pretty good, but over priced. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Naan, Lamb Vindaloo, Chicken Hakka Noodles, and some Chicken Fried Rice. The food was spiced very well. The service was mediocre. Our server seemed inattentive and we were the only ones in the restaurant, a table of 5. She was young and had an air pod in. She couldn't even hear what we wanted to order, seemed confused as a worker. The paying process was confusing, and she stood right overtop of us waiting for a tip. It made us very uncomfortable.

Honestly, this was the best Indian food I've yet experienced. Friendly and helpful waiter, incredibly flavorful dishes and reasonable prices. We enjoyed everything we ordered and highly recommend the samosa chaat!

Visiting from Hawaii and craving indan food. Omg by far the greatest I've had! Highly recommended. Great service, excellent food and exceptional customer service. Quaint little place loved it

Delish!!!!!!!!! Love this place anytime I'm in manayunk and craving Indian this is the spot

Good food, good service and pricing is moderate. Portions are generous. Highly recommend.

My fiancé and I ordered takeout from here, it was a flawless experience. Not many places have good takeout. We ordered the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. Everything was delicious, well developed flavors. Even when we got home everything was still hot! The portion sizes are good, we were both full, no leftovers, just wish the price reflected the portion size better.

I have lived around Manayunk for quite a few years now but never tried this place. When it comes to Indian restaurants around here, I've been quite disappointed by the flavors so am wary of trying them. I was pleasantly surprised by the food here though. Ambiance: Its a family owned place and is not that big. It didn't have much of an ambiance but decent decor and seating area. Food: We got the Chilli Chicken, Lamb biryani and chicken biryani, both served with raita which was perfectly made to balance off the spices from the biryani. We asked for it to be made spicy and loved how perfect it was. Service: I think the service can be better. We felt like we needed to constantly get their attention and spent quite sometime waiting. The food did come out quickly Overall, I am super glad to know a place that'll deliver spicy biryani to my place when I am craving some :)

I was looking forward to trying this spot based on the reviews so I ordered saag paneer and navratan korma for delivery. I have eaten some mediocre Indian food in the past, but this was basically inedible slop and I ended up throwing it out after a few bites. Both dishes tasted so, so bad. Weird sour flavors...Possibly some rancid ghee or something..? Even the color of the dishes looked off. Not to be a wiseguy but the spinach looked like baby diarrhea and korma looked like vomit. Total waste of money. Definitely will never, ever go back here again.

Disappointed! Was looking forward to great takeout from here but no! I paid an up charge for salmon instead of tilapia. There was very little salmon in the fish & what was there was over cooked. Do better! Expensive meal that was not good. Why even have tilapia in the menu? Oh it's cheap that's why. I don't mind paying for good food but this was not good! Giving three stars because pick up was east & on time. But wasted gas driving there and on the meal.

This place is a total gem! It's on the pricier side but super tasty food. Highly recommend getting the bread basket - it's a great quantity for 3-4 people and lets you try a variety of delicious breads.

This place is sooo good. The food is an explosion of flavors and the owner Robert is attentive and super welcoming. Thank you for the hospitality and the good time. We can't wait to dine in again.

My partner and I have tried takeout from a few other places that were all a short drive away, and they were all decent but not great. Having moved here recently from Center City, we were bummed that there wasn't a local place with good Indian food. But we finally have one and within walking distance in the Manayunk area! We just ordered takeout from here today (our second time so far since they opened) -- we got Butter Chicken, Vegetable Samosas, Garlic Naan, and Aloo Gobi and it was all delicious! Would highly recommend if you haven't tried them out yet!

Beware of fraudulent charges! Food was great but not sure how an order of the lamb tiki masala (19.99), mango lassi (5.99) and plain naan (3.50) with tip came out to over 55$ that was charged to my credit card. They use a handheld payment processor so the only thing that makes sense is an employee was able to change the total amount. Sorry but I'm not leaving almost a 30$ tip on a 29.50 bill. Silly me for not asking for a receipt. Make sure you all ask for a receipt and be wary.

Always on the lookout for a replacement for my old fave, Kabob and Grill. This place lacks the Pakistani dishes, but they cover many regions and styles of Indian and even Sino-Indian cuisine. No "hurry-curry" here. Spices are unique to their dishes. Can't wait to try more! They WILL respect your spice levels, so don't be shy if you want it REALLY up there. But understand many dishes are spicy but not HOT.

Great food, very comforting, full of flavors, and good ambiance inside! They accommodated my very rowdy toddler too, and made sure her food was very mild :) thanks!

I ate here a couple months ago, and I don't remember there being anything not to like--tasty sauces and mango lassi and very friendly and attentive service in a relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely go back.

Very good food I got the vegetable korma, which was very tasty.. My complaint would be that there was no utensils in the bag. No fork, no napkins, or anything. It was also very expensive to order. The veggie korma alone was $30 to be delivered to my hotel.

The food was delicious and flavorful. Chicken tikka masala and the saag paneer was perfect for a chilly winter day. Our server Tusher was very kind and attentive. It was a perfect place to have a relaxed evening with quality Indian food. Will definitely come again!

Phew wee! My oh my... what a restaurant. The food was phenomenal. It appears to be a hole in the wall but the flavors are out of this world. I dined in after a morning walk and dang them flavors, they got me! I don't know what else to say. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. I can't speak to what the quality will be in the future or what it was in the past, but right now it's close to perfection and that's truly a rare thing in this modern age.

Some of the best Indian I've ever had. Lamb Biryani and Butter Chicken is just unreal here. 4 well deserved stars, and 2 thumbs way up!

delicious! came here on a whim and was not disappointed. great service, had the chicken tikka masala and kashmiri naan and will get the same thing again when i return

Yum. So good. My favorite Indian place in the area. Chicken tikka masala and samosas is my go to order

If you are craving for delicious indian food with great service, this is a good place to dine at. Our group really loved it and would definitely repeat again.

I cannot believe how delicious it was. The chicken korma was quite possibly, the most perfect dish. I don't know if I've eaten something better in this area. (Why was the rice so delicious? Like how many ways can you improve rice??) I'm pretty sure there's only four tables there, but their to go orders getting picked up were not slowing down, and I can see why. My favorite part is that the guy who took my order also cooked it! The food and service were today notch. I love not feeling like I need to head to other neighborhoods for a great meal such as this -I can't wait to come back for the tikka masala #hugenaan

it's great food and service 5 stars I love this place so much food was so good and delicious so if someone who works here sees this I just want to say food is so good and thank you

A fantastic experience. My wife was born in India so her and I have eaten a LOT of Indian food in India and here in the US. The food at the Manayunk Indian Grille was excellent! There was a small issue with the appetizer but Robert, the co-owner, fixed that quickly. The Lamb Vindaloo sauce was superb, nicely spicy (we asked for "hot") without being sweet which I have found at other restaurants. The Chicken Chettinad was perfectly made as well (a South Indian dish). The Roti was bit on the expensive side, bit delicious. What was amazing was the Gulab Jamun, the classic Indian desert. I've never liked that desert having tasted it dozens of places...but this was great! It was hot, and fresh, floating in a bath of Ghee (Indian clarified butter). And we tried the Kehir, another Indian desert which was fantastic as well. The Manyunk Indian Grille is a great dining experience!

Went here with my wife last night for dinner. Indian food is a bit of a blind spot for me, but she is a super fan of it. It was nothing short of stunning. Honestly, I feel like I never have to think about where to go for Indian food for the rest of my life, so you know, one less thing. This restaurant is great and they are incredibly friendly and proud of what they are doing. GO NOW!

I am thrilled that Main Street continues to offer Indian food and I'm glad it's this place. The food is excellent and hits the spot if you're craving some Indian or Indo-Chinese classics. Great hospitality, quiet ambiance and delicious food. The only thing I was shocked about was naan costing $8 but other than that prices and portions are great. My husband and I will be regulars here!

We ordered a bunch of food because it was 6 of us. 4/6 items were spoiled and they didn't offer to change anything or did not even compensate for it. Charged fully but given food that will make you sick. What an awful restaurant and the people that work there who do not even care to give you food that you're paying for. Please go to a place that is going to value your money and not give you stale food.

Hands down one of the Indian restaurants in the city! We LOVE Indian food and trying different places all throughout Philly. This opened up down the street and we were in love. The food is amazing. Our search is over

Got the chicken tikka Masala. It was ok but the sauce was thin and not as flavorful as other Indian restaurants I've been to. They need to up there game for that price to get my business back.

The food at Manayunk Indian Grille is excellent! The saag paneer and aloo gobi were especially great.

Loved the service we got from Dushar and the food was lovely and the real deal. Absolutely cannot recommend this is my favorite butter chicken and the aloo tikka chaat is out of this world. Thank me later if you go.

Went in with my husband and tried a few different dishes--All were excellent! The meat was perfectly tender and the flavors were delicious. Took a menu home because we will definitely be ordering here again!

came by chance on the day of their soft opening and we were not disappointed! food came out quickly, was delicious, and the owner was very hospitable. cant wait to come back!

I was pleasantly surprised the first time I Ordered from here. My subsequent orders have been less enthralling and the portion sizes have definitely changed every time I've ordered. It's a decent option for Indian food and I truly hope they can stay consistent with their quality and portion size but would recommend at least trying them once to see if they suit you.
