1st Indian Kitchen - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

By far the best Indian food in the area. Fair prices and very fair portions. Really sweet people who greet me every time I walk in. This is the most common stop in our takeout rotation. I would be so sad if they ever closed their doors, it’s the best!

Ordered Chicken Masala, Saag Paneer and fresh Naan for the first time. Everything was hot, fresh and absolutely delicious! Will be our regular spot to get Indian food going forward. I wish they offered a full menu on Doordash, Uber Eats and Grubhub, as well as deliveries in the evening. Highly recommend regardless!

Eating right now and it’s authentic ♥️‼️

Great food, our favorite Indian place in the region after trying over 10 places. We always get veg korma, saag paneer, and chicken and paneer makhani for family of 3 and eat it for three dinners and sometimes have a little left over for a lunch. Great value for the quantity and quality of food. We eat here at least twice a month. We always do takeout and it is ready even before they say pretty consistently. Please keep up the good work and don't change anything!

After a very frustrating experience with an Indian chain restaurant in the area, my husband found this place while looking for new Indian food to try, and JACKPOT. I am a HUGE baby when it comes to spice (I'll eat pretty much anything you put in front of me, but spicy is just not enjoyable for me), which always made me hesitant about Indian food. My husband stopped here on his way home from work and said the people were so friendly. Upon arriving home and digging in, we were floored. My go-to is butter chicken, and this was out of this world - barely spicy and just a little warm on the tongue, and the spices/flavors were on point. My husband's chicken tikka masala wasn't even that spicy (definitely spicier than the butter chicken, but if I'm saying not that spicy, it really isn't). We will 100% be ordering from here whenever we want Indian food, and last night's leftovers are in the fridge ready for dinner tonight and I'm already hungry!

We had been craving Indian for a while and didn’t really know any places around. Delco Restaurant Review on Facebook pointed me here. My wife ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, I ordered the Butter Chicken, we decided to share orders of vegetable samosas, chicken pakora, and garlic naan. When I walked in, everything looked clean, everyone in the restaurant was so friendly and welcoming. When we got home and tasted everything we were blown away! Everything was excellent, it’s great to have a go-to Indian restaurant from now forward.

Fantastic spur-of-the-moment lunch option! It's not typically a dine in place but we were nicely taken care of at the table. We were super impressed with the portions for such reasonable prices! Highly recommend the samosas. Will definitely return if in the area

This is our favorite Indian restaurant by far. We order take out regularly. The portions are big, prices are good and the food is fantastic. We have many favorites (mine are malai kofta, samosas, and mango lassi). Good service too... If anything is wrong, they make it right. I only wish they offered reusable containers so we could return them instead of wasting them. I've made myself hungry so looks like I'll be ordering again soon!

Standard order: chicken tika masala, paneer tika (🔥🔥🔥), samosas, naan. Comes with rice, enough for at least 2 meals worth, and always top notch. Thanks for keeping it real.

I went here for the first time to get mango lassie and I asked the employee to not make it too sweet and she gave me a free sample I think I’ll come again

Nicest people and best Indian food around. Reasonable prices and good portions. Been frequenting since they opened.

Delicious Indian food our go to.

Literally the best Indian food I've ever had, and that's coming from someone who has eaten a LOT of Indian food in a lot of places. The hostess is very warm and friendly. The staff takes a lot of pride in their food. I can't say enough about how much I love this place. Everything on the menu is amazing!

Ordered Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan, didn’t know it had nuts but they were so nice that they made me another platter without nuts, and didn’t charge me for it. Absolutely amazing and kind.

Food is fantastic. I had an Indian restaurant growing up that had the best butter chicken ever and I could never find somewhere that replicated it until this one! Absolutely delicious whether it’s mild or spicy (I’ve tried all the variations depending on mood). Garlic nanna is so good, chicken vindaloo just as good. We eat here probably once per week - it’s our takeout fave!

We've been going to this restaurant regularly since it opened. Great quality food, consistently great service, one of the best take out options around. Every once in a blue moon they close the store when they're usually open and don't change the hours on Google but the pros definitely make up for this.

Usually quite good, but I wish they learned to pack food properly/more mindful. Please pack cold dishes separate from hot dishes. I got papri chat and they packed it together with the hot dishes. The dahi curdled and now it all smells off. It is unedible - wasted money for this. Also order chicken 65 a few days ago. Must have been either old chicken, or they overcooked it, because the chicken was very tough and dry. Usually the chicken 65 is on point and this was the only time I didn’t like it.

This is hands down the best Indian food I have ever had. I have lived in many cities and eaten at many Indian restaurants, and 1st Indian Kitchen is easily, and truly, first among Indian kitchens. Food is delicious, service is excellent. I've only had take out so I can't speak to the dining experience, but damn is the food good. I am so thrilled to have this place just a few minutes away from where I live.

Have gotten taken out from 1st Indian Kitchen several times now, and it’s always hot and delicious. The woman at the counter is always pleasant as well. Totally recommend!

The buffet serves some of the best-known indian dishes and does it well. No skimping on flavor, well priced, and great service. Definitely a better experience than a similar restaurant around the corner, and it's better than most other a la carte restaurants serving similar dishes. If you like indian food, and appreciate not having to wait, go here. Be wary of parking though.

This food was AMAZING! First time trying this place and will order again! Very good!

Amazing prices! Amazing Food! Amazing Service! If you’ve never been here you definitely need to try it it’s one of my favorites. I really like the Chicken 65 and Chicken or Lamb Jalfrezi. The naan is always good here. Highly recommend and hope to stop back in soon.

Incredible Indian food. It’s the best we’ve had in the area and we’ve been searching for someplace good for a while. We got Simosa, Garlic Naan, Chicken Makhani and Paneer Makhani. Everything was amazing and the spices were perfect. We’ll definitely be back for delivery.

Anything that I have ordered there has been great. I love that they are in my neighborhood. Awesome makhani and korma.

Ordered delivery. Had Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken) = excellent. Chicken Korma = excellent. Kadai Paneer = pretty good. Garlic naan = pretty good. Potato cheese naan = excellent. Vegetable Samosa = excellent. Gulab Jamun (might want to fix website spelling of dessert) = fair. Great first time eating their food. I highly recommend 1st Indian Kitchen. Good portion sizes, excellent taste and good prices.

Great food, we go here so often they laugh every time they see us! haha. The portions are good for the price and everything is hot and fresh. If you have the chance to eat here, take it.

BEST Indian food I’ve ever eaten! Seriously this place is the best. The flavors are complex and the staff is so friendly. I will never buy Indian from anywhere else again. And the vegetarian dishes are……..omg yummmmm

Favorite Indian food at great price

This is the best Indian food in the area (and that I've ever had in general). We eat here often and are never disappointed. The food is delicious and the delivery is fast. All of their naan is great, the vegetable samosas are the best, and we love the kadai paneer and korma for entrees. You can't go wrong here!

food was excellent, large portions, restaurant looks clean, service was very prompt and staff were very friendly.

Incredible food for very reasonable prices. We had the chicken biryani, tandoori chicken, tandoori paneer, and samosas. Everything was amazing. This is my new favorite place

got takeout, food was ready fast, servings were big, food was delicious, perfect spice level(they ask how hot you want it). I had never had chana palaak before but they recommended it and it was bomb!

Food tastes equally excellent every single time! Reasonably priced too

I love the food at this place. It is consistently fantastic 😊

I just had their goat curry for lunch. I was in a terrible mood, but now I feel great. I credit the fantastic goat curry. Thank you.

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.

Delicious food. Masala is so flavorful— this has just become our go to spot in the area.

Always great and large portions

Visiting Philly from MD. Loved the food! We ordered veg briyani, paneer makhani etc. and both were very tasty! Great job :)

Love their lamb/fish kadai. Consistently tasty every time. I recommend their food and appreciate the friendly service!

I wish they had better hours for delivery. Delivering only after 4pm is not it. Or at least wish they were on grubhub or doordash so i could order earlier than 4pm

Amazing food. Best Indian in the Philly area.

this place is awesome. absolutely delicious Indian food, and seriously generous portions for the price! I've had tiffin, and saffron, and Ekta, and this place is the best for the money
