    I’m so excited to have found really good Indian food. We tried 3 different dishes and they were all wonderful. I found the portions you get for the price are a great deal as well. This is definitely going to be our new take out place. If you order delivery though, order well ahead of time. Our delivery took 1.5 hours so take out or dine in may be best. It was worth the wait though.

    This unassuming gem is, hands down, one of the finest Indian restaurants in the region—and undoubtedly Philly's best-kept secret. Tucked away as a modest hole-in-the-wall with zero flashy marketing, it flies blissfully under the radar. We reside in the Philly suburbs, surrounded by a plethora of Indian eateries within a mere 5- to 10-mile radius, and yet, we still make the trek to 1st Indian Kitchen because of how exceptionally good their food is. Key highlights include: An abundance of delectable vegetarian choices (our perennial favorites: Paneer Makhani, Aloo Gobi, Vegetable Jalfrezi, Chana Masala, Chana Saag, and Malai Kofta). Customizable spice levels tailored precisely to your palate and tolerance—our children invariably request the mild option. Hearty portions, augmented by complimentary rice with every entrée, which elevates the already compelling value. The owner, a genuinely warm and engaging host, she makes a point of chatting with patrons to ensure their satisfaction. Impeccable kitchen hygiene, a testament to their unwavering commitment to quality.

    Great food, I drove 3.5 hrs and went straight to eat Biriany! Very fulfilling generous quantity. They serve halal desi food, and spice level is perfect with medium. Plenty of seating and parking space in front of the store. I like their simple service. Everything I need was available, I wish they were close to our home. Strongly recommended their goat biriany

    This place is definitely for to go orders, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food tasted when I got home. I went with the chicken Tikka Masala to be safe, just in case. And it was worth it. If I lived closer I would frequent this restaurant.
