🇺🇸 Philadelphia | Upscale Indian Cuisine at Veda in Center City 🍛

After a recent cold left me with weakened taste and smell, I craved something bold and flavorful! I still remember walking past a corner in NOLA smelling amazing Indian curry, but there was too much seafood to try — back in Philly, I quickly looked up spots. Veda is halal and focuses on chicken and lamb masala dishes. 💚 Crispy Spinach Ordered based onrecommendations. Crispy fried spinach mixed with spices, onions, and tomatoes — surprisingly tasty but a bit oily after a few bites. 💜 Lamb Biryani Like a spiced lamb fried rice with curry flavors? Generous amount of tender lamb cooked with biryani masala — solid choice. ❤️ Chicken Chettinad An excellent chicken curry! Skipped the sweet version and went for garlic, pepper, and ginger — totally my style! Tender chicken in a mildly spicy, creamy curry, perfect over rice. 💕 Also tried a non-alcoholic Indian drink, their signature garlic naan, and a mango sago-style dessert (personally not my favorite). 🍽️ Restaurant: Veda Modern Indian Bistro 📍 Address: 1920 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19103 #AmericanLife #StudyInUSA #PhillyFood #Philadelphia #FoodCheckIn #IndianFood #UpscaleDining
