Ekta Indian Cuisine - Indian restaurant in Philadelphia - 391 Lyceum Ave, USA

There are no words to convey the deliciousness of this food. The tandoori chicken was moist and perfectly flavored. The tikka masala was out of this world incredible. I have nothing but rave reviews. 10 out of 10 recommend. I will definitely return. Thank you for an amazing dinner. 🥰

Staff was nice and food was on time, but the spice level did not match our expectations. We like spicy food, and ordered medium spice level but it was so spicy we could hardly enjoy the main part of the meal. The samosas, onion bhaji and naan are excellent, but beware of the spice level when you order. The medium was on par with habanero level heat, if not hotter.

We ordered dinner from this place a few weeks ago and absolutely loved the food. The portions, price and tastes were well aligned. While it may be a little pricey I do feel it was worth it. We had butter chicken, naan and a mango shrimp (or chicken I forget).

Delicious and great portion sizes. The Ekta Biryani is full of rice and meat and flavor, the garlic naan could be smelled before ever even opening the bag, the paneer tikka is a great portion size and delicious. I’m excited to try more from here!

I've been to the fishtown location of Ekta a while ago and was surprised to hear they had opened a location in Manayunk. The Manayunk location used to be another Indian restaurant. When you walk in, you might not notice a huge difference from the previous owner, however, the food and prices have improved quite a bit imo. We decided to eat in and ordered a pair of entrees and a naan. They do not have waiter service and offer paper plates for dine in. We were given a huge amount of rice for our two entrees - more than enough. The mango lamb had a decent helping of lamb and mango. The butter chicken was amazing and, like the mango lamb, had plenty of protein. The peshwari nana was on point. I'd recommend EKta, although it is probably best to just grab takeout!

This is a no frills counter service restaurant with some delicious food. "We only have paper plates if you're looking to dine in. This isn't a fine dining restaurant " joked the man behind the counter. However the food was great, we had some Naan, chicken curry with rice and the Dal Makhani. The food came out quickly and wow was it flavorful. I would definitely recommend this place for a great meal.

One of my favorite restaurants! The food is so delicious! The mango lamb/chicken is the best hands down.

I always pick up a mango lassi from here because it’s the best in the area, but I tried the lamb biryani and malai kofta and they were both amazing. The lamb biryani had a generous serving of the meat and the malai kofta had the perfect creaminess and spices.
