Reviews for Amma's South Indian Cuisine in Philadelphia, PA
Great food great vibes! Went here when visiting a friend in Philly on another friends recommendation, turned out to be one of... the best south indian restaurants I visited outside in the states. Will definitely recommend the filter coffee was little coldfor me but overall a great experience. Read more
Good south indian food choice. Fried fish was excellent. The tape on mango and masala lassi cups spoiled the experience.... Customer service can improve. They should have Halal certificate on display and printed on menu. Read more
Amazing South Indian food in the heart of center city! It's the only place I've seen so far that offers Southern India specific... style dishes and I highly recommend them. They do it so right. I was here several times for both lunch and dinner precovid. Thistime coming back, I noticed there were some different menu item changes and was super excited to see thali options where I cansample different dishes all at once. I got the Non-veg South Indian Thali and it did not disappoint. The portions were verygenerous and I enjoyed every single one of them. Usually I am not a fan of khee but they do it differently here and I fell inlove. I see why this place is always so packed. Food is always on point! The newly added no contact ordering and payment systemis also easy to use and a huge plus! Read more
After trying two other places that happened to be closed, my family of four staggered in the door looking for sustenance. We... were pleased to find much more! The space is well decorated and cozy, the brick walls offer classic Philadelphia flair whilearomas emanating from the kitchen promised much more. We had some trouble using the online ordering platform, but the waiter(who I believe was also a manager of some sort) happily took our order by hand. He recommended we try the Gobi Manchurian, andno one in my family has been able to shut up about it since. We tried the Non-Veg Couples Platter and some sort of deliciousrice dish, and were pleased to try such a variety of South Indian cuisine. I would highly recommend this restaurant! Read more
Food 8/10 I usually never have Indian cuisine, so I was feeling quite excited when I ordered the huge lamb dosa. It didn?t feel... that heavy, but I completely demolished the entire dish. It was both chewy and soft, yet crispy on the edges. The inside wasstuffed with lamb, and it came with a lot of different dips to try out. I didn?t know where to start but I loved experimentingwith the different dips and getting a flavor explosion. Atmosphere 8/10 A lot of seats, casual restaurant, was surprisinglypopular on a weekday evening. Service 10/10 We ordered on our mobile phones, and the dishes came at such a fast speed I wasreally surprised. Everything was steamy hot and fresh. Not a lot of interaction with the waiter, so it?s a very covid safe sortof experience, as we also pay through our phone. Paying directly was also an option. Read more
Must visit! Food is superb. Delivery is quite quick. Staff is good. Only thing is this place almost always crowded so be... prepared for a wait time. Also you might face parking issues but that?s not the restaurant?s fault. You can order and make yourpayment through the QR Code placed on every table. We ordered Punugulu, Cut mirchi & Masala Gongura Dosa. Only thing thatdisappointed me a little was that they served coconut chutney with Cut mirchi which is unusual. It should be served with greenchutney. Rest everything was good. Read more
I don?t even know where to begin. Everything about this restaurant was spectacular. The food and the service was a 10/10 for me... and my friends. We absolutely loved it. The food was so fresh and delicious. All the curries were SO good. The mango lassi wasalso so refreshing and I recommend ordering. Food also came so quickly! The people that worked there were so friendly and kind! Our waiter was very informative on South Indian culture and he kindly informed us about the differences seen in curries acrossdifferent regions of India. I also loved the convenience of ordering straight from your phone and the staff was super up to datewith it. We can?t wait to come back again. This is hands down my favorite Desi restaurant in the area and the best I?ve everhad. Read more
Mouthwatering Indian Cuisine (especially Idli, Dosa, and Uttapam) This place is right in the heart of Philly Downtown and... serves authentic Indian Cuisine. Staff is courteous and very helpful. They also customized food as per our dietary restrictions(Jain food). We also got student discount (saved around 10-15%). Will definitely visit again Read more
