Reviews for Ekta in Bryn Mawr, PA
Food was disappointing. Tasted sweet (not in a good way). Definitely not flavorful Indian flavors! (Had the chicken korma and... lamb biryani). Read more
This is the absolute best Indian food in a restaurant that I have had! Specifically referring to their Malai Kofta and Paneer... Tikka Masala (I usually get it medium spicy or spicy depending on what I?m feeling that day). I have been to many Indianrestaurants such as Indeblue in Philly, Rasika in DC, ghee kitchen in Miami, and countless others over the years, and I alwayscompare the malai kofta and paneer tikka I eat elsewhere to ekta?s! Their onion Bhaji is also tasty! I have driven an hour attimes to pick up food or eat here, I have also frozen it to take to another state so other people can eat it. The taste andquality is ALWAYS CONSISTENT, and always good. If I were to die tomorrow, I would want to eat their malai kofta and paneer tikkamasala as my last meal. Kudos to the chef and everyone else involved, I love ekta!! Read more
When food is this bad, then it is clear that the establishment does not have any passion left in them. Not even close to Indian... food. It's a disgrace that such food is being peddled. The bad quality of Oil can easily be made out from the tandoori dishes.The quality and preparation of each dish that I ordered was horrendous. Understandably, the area does not have any exceptionalIndian cuisine options, but Ekta is giving Indian food a bad name. Never do I do such a review , but this is playing withhealth. Ordered 6 Dishes - went to pickup Indian (so more than just hurt) Read more
Ordered from Ekta Bryn Mawr today. We ordered Tandoor dishes. I think, it?s the worst Tandoori chicken I?ve tasted! The meat was... rubbery & dry. The vegetables (mostly huge chunks of broccoli?s) were charred. The takeaway service was subpar & dishes grosslyoverpriced. Being an Indian myself I am ashamed to call it Indian food. Stay away!!!!!

I ordered take out from Ekta on Thursday night! Based in Bryn Mawr, they are conveniently located to order and... collect. Positives: Food was hot and ready as promised. The restaurant staff were polite, service was good! I enjoyed theSamosa and chutneys. Opportunities: The chicken in both the Vindaloo and Jalfrezi was over cooked. The gravies tastedsimilar, the flavor profiles didn?t differentiate enough. Perhaps my biggest disappointment though was the Onion Bhaji. I LOVEBhaji, these were dry and could have had more Onion and less flour (binding). Would I eat at Ekta again? Yes! But if I havetime, I?ll drive down to 1st Indian Kitchen. Read more
Each dish was more delicious than the last! We enjoyed an excellent meal at Ekta last night. The Goan Shrimp Curry was perfectly... spicy and the Ekta naan very good as a mildly sweet dessert. It?s a BYOB so we brought a bottle of wine which went nicely withthe food. Read more
Indian food wirhout accompaniment of Lime, onions and pickels is unthinkable. Please make ir default instead of having to ask... for it. Overall good ambience but found if amusing that for lunch they had bare tables and paper napkins where as for dinner itwas to be a well laid out table with proper covers and napkins. Setting up tables for the evening while guests were having lunchwas a turnoff. Foodwise the taste was goid, the portions resonable. The staff was okay. Read more
Was less than impressed. Have never wrote a review before. Food was okay, at best. Pretty average (nothing spectacular). Beware... of going here since I had abdominal distress questionable food poisoning. Would not recommend. Will not go back- ever. Read more
