I ordered Papdi Chaat, Paneer Biryani. Papdi chaat was good needed a little salt but over all really good. The paneer biryani was too good. They have good quantity enough for two people. The ambiance is also pretty you can take your guests there. The girl and the staff is very friendly and great with service. They gave a side chutney with biryani and it was Tooo good

Food, service, atmosphere all you want for a great casual dining experience. Sherin provided great service and was very welcoming of my questions about the different dishes. second time herein 3 days!

Best Indian in Philadelphia!! Everything is fantastic! If you've ever wanted to try something new off an Indian menu, try it here- you'll love it! Also, get the mango lassi.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and was seated very promptly, which I was surprised by. We ordered the spinach and onion pakoda for starters and it came with this green chutney and a dusting of chaat masala on top. It was really fresh and crispy and the portion was huge! We each got dosas; I had the Mysore masala dosa. I had higher hopes but found that the masala inside wasn't that flavorful. I felt it was overpriced for the taste but the portion was hefty. The ambience was fine but there were a lot of people going in and out which was interesting. Overall a good experience, maybe a little overpriced but portions were sizeable.

Always a pleasure to dine here. Tried their special dosa and medu vada dipped in Rasam for the first time and man was it a delight!! I ALWAYS order the Spicy podi idli and Madras filter coffee and this time the podi idli was extra flavorful. Just look at those crispy curry leaves! I cannot recommend this place enough!

Amma's is always a safe & great choice. This was my fifth time coming here and I have been coming here since they initially opened. I will say... i think their dishes have gotten smaller. But it's a good size for a single person! The spice level in the dishes are serious! It is a byob and they also serve beer. Definitely make a reservation if you're coming in a large group or on the weekend

Excellent food place for a great price! This restaurant is often listed as one of the best food places in Philly - alongside higher end dining establishments with a much larger price tag. The restaurant feels very nice and fancy and intimate - and really is worth the hype. The best part is that it's still fairly affordable - especially when you compare it to other popular/highly touted Philly spots. You can call ahead for a reservation but we saw others were able to get a table fairly quickly (even after an Eagles game). On the toast tab, they automatically add a tip so no need to do that (even though the receipt itself has an option for additional tip). Now onto the food! The mango lassi comes in a bottle instead of a glass - but it was still delicious. It tastes far more strongly of yogurt/milk than mango - unlike other mango lassis I've had. The mango flavor is still there but it's more subtle and feels far less artificial. The samosas and pakodas were also very tasty - and the chutneys that accompanied paired perfectly. Someone ordered a dosa and they are *huge* - he ended up eating only half of it because the serving was so large. I've never seen a dosa that large before - so if you like dosas, this is the perfect place for you. I ordered their veg meal and it was excellent. The seasoning is done perfectly - you can really taste all the flavors blending together in perfect harmony in which no one spice overtakes everything else. If I'm in the Philly area again, I'm definitely going to visit here again.

Still tasty. Dosas are the best still, everything else is more standard/average. Small tables and space of the popularity. Lots of waiters so pretty easy to flag someone down if you're in a rush
