If you're reading this because you're considering eating here, do yourself a favor and avoid it at all costs. I ignored the 1 star reviews and I regret it. Taking naive non-Indian folks for a ride selling food that sounds and looks exotic and calling it Indian is a cruel joke (I'm Indian, I know). Anything orange colored with cream and sugar does not make it makhani or tikka masala, a brown sauce does not make it chettinad or korma or curry. People at this joint don't even know what a tandoor is, and selling food calling it tandoori is deception. I can safely say that this was the worst Indian food I've had in this country (and I have a large sample size). But it's not even that the food is just cooked bad, it is far removed from what the dish should be. I feel so bad that people who may not know what real Indian food tastes like, be it South Indian or North Indian food, would leave this place with an impression of the so-called Indian cuisine they sell and assume that's that. How can a restaurant selling such bad food have so many branches? Folks, take your business and wallet elsewhere, to establishments that are not there to deceive you. Shame on you Tiffin. Shutter this place and go sell something else. Oh, and I want...
Read moreThis place used to be the pinnacle of Indian in Philadelphia. IT IS NOW THE WORST. We bought two portions of the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. It was shocking! There is almost no meat. The meat that is there is made of thick cubes that are way overcooked and so incredibly dry in your mouth it aches to chew. Now let’s talk about the most important part: THE SAUCE: It’s like canned tomato sauce with the lightest smattering of bland, generic heat. It tastes like canned Indian simmering sauce you get from Aldi’s! It doesn’t contain any of the unique and defining Indian spices like turmeric, green cardamom, coriander, garam Marsala, garlic, fenugreek, star anise, mace, cloves or curry leaves! It’s dreadful and extremely disappointing. Using a discount code we payed $18 for it and it it isn’t worth it at that price. Without the code it would have been an assaulting $55!!!!! They have absolutely no passion and it’s clear they have defaulted to using the cheapest, drabbest ingredients and have lost their passion and spark. NEVER...

Hands down the best chicken tikka I’ve ever had in my life. Kaju Matar Paneer with peas and cashews in a sweet fragrant cream sauce, the flavors were incredible. And our favorite dish the smooth deeply smokey eggplant Bangain Barta— if you like baba ganoush you’re sure to enjoy the flavors of this.
Excellent onion fritters. I would not order the fried fritters or anything fried if you are taking out, instead save those for eating in.
Only wishes is for dark meat chicken or white meat not so dry, more rice to sauce ratio and a lassi that is a bit less sweet. Oh and maybe lamb samosa on menu, a girl can dream. None of that will ever happen and it’s still 5 stars. Never the less, fabulous Indian food that fills a huge big empty hole ever since the nearby...
