Philadelphia · Veda 🍛

The portions definitely weren't small — we totally took advantage of Restaurant Week, though honestly the regular prices aren’t crazy high either. We ended up packing four boxes of leftovers… and let’s be real, leftovers always taste better 😉. Service was friendly but painfully slow 🐌, and they accidentally spilled curry on my phone and shoes 😭… After some discussion, they gave us a partial refund. Here’s everything in order of the pics: 🌟 Lamb Ribs – Kinda like sweet-and-sour ribs, only a small portion but super fragrant and delicious! Big meat lover approved — order it! (Not on the Restaurant Week menu.) 🌟 Chicken Tikka – Pretty tender, solid grilled chicken. Not a must, but good. (Restaurant Week menu.) 🌟 Lamb Keema – Spiced minced lamb — so tasty and savory! Feels like an Indian-style quesadilla. The dipping sauces were amazing. (Restaurant Week menu.) 🌟 Chicken Biryani – Honestly, I was too full by then… but I remember it being good. Heard the leftovers were even better! (Restaurant Week menu.) 🌟 Wild Mushroom Dish – Magical creamy flavor!! Loaded with oyster mushrooms — I love oyster mushrooms! So good I scraped the plate clean. Highly recommend! (À la carte.) 🌟 Tomato Cilantro Soup – I usually avoid cilantro, but this was delicious!! Our whole table loved it — fragrant, tangy, perfect with naan. (Restaurant Week menu.) 🌟 Vegetable Samosas – I love samosas, but maybe share one between two people… we were so hungry we each ate one and got stuffed fast 😅. Tasty though! 🌟 Garlic Naan – Delicious and super fragrant. Packed some for later — even better reheated! 🫓 🌟 Chicken Curry – This one’s starred on the menu, but I felt the spice blend was a bit too strong… also, it got spilled on my little rain boots, so extra bad vibes! 👢 🌟 Shrimp Curry – Not bad, but the curry and shrimp felt kinda separate… like they weren’t fully married. 🌟 Lamb Curry – The meat chunks in all these curries were huge! This curry had a more balanced flavor — I liked it. Not very gamey though 😩. 🌟 Lamb Shank – I was on the verge of bursting when I tried this, but it was good. Had a bit of that lamb aroma 👍. 🍰 Pistachio Cake – Intense pistachio flavor!! A bit sweet for me. 🍮 Mango Panna Cotta – I actually loved this!! Less sweet than the cake, with a nice tangy mango taste. Yum. #Philadelphia #PhillyFood #FoodDiaries #PhillyRestaurantWeek #GottaPromoteMyStickers
