They had given salad and on top of that option to switch rice with butter naan for the curry which was like am I in India right now? The goat vinadaloo was amazing. Perfect spices and hot. The chicken butter masala was bland but then we asked for mild. I think the flavor was not coming properly. The paneer makhni was also on sweeter side even though we asked for spicy. But they do have something called garlic chili naan, which was a treat. Too much chilies, order on your own risk lol! The regular garlic naan were great too. I enjoyed the presentation of the place and serving. It felt like having the treat in India. The mango lassi was on seeeter side, the sweet one was not so much but freshly made. Overall a good add to neighborhood and Philadelphia India scene, I think if you order according to taste you won’t go wrong.

Went here with a date and we both loved it. Staff is very friendly, good is very good and consistent. Lots of veg options if that's your thing

We sampled the meat appetizer, lamb pasanda (prepared in a creamy almond sauce), and shrimp tikka masala, along with some naan. Everything was delicious, and we even have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Our total bill came to $50 before tip. I highly recommend giving this Indian restaurant a try!

At that time, they were the only Indian restaurant in deep South Philly, and while their food was decent, we kept coming back. Our only complaint back then was that their lentil and chickpea dishes were quite dull. Fast forward to now, they've moved to Oregon Avenue, and I just enjoyed some Indian food from them on a Tuesday night. Wow, their food is fantastic—like the quality of 2008 Tiffin and Etka. The Patch now offers a variety of spice levels, which inspired me to write my first review. We decided to skip the lentils and chickpeas this time because healing from heartbreak takes its own time, but their butter chicken was incredible. The palak paneer and samosa chaat? Absolutely amazing—fireworks on my taste buds. I loved every bite!
