Amazing Indian food. Drive out of our way to go to. This and the one in Fishtown are the best Ekta locations.

Always enjoy the quick and accurate service from Ekta Bryn Mawr. Have also appreciated the host's recommendations on new dishes to try. Favorites include the Khali mirch fish and Dal makhani although we have enjoyed a wide variety of mains and appetizers. Routinely order for take out for the family and it hits right every time!
I went with my friends for dinner the food was delicious but Appetizer should be improved as well as portions. The cuisine was flavorful. The Atmosphere n service was great so we might visit again.

My first time trying Indian food and decided to get take out from Ekta as I live in the area and pass it almost every single day! I was pleasantly surprised. Got two huge samosas, paneer naan, baigan bharta (eggplant dish) and rice for about $23. All vegetarian friendly! It was so delicious and I will definitely be going back :)

Delicious and intricately flavored food, excellent and attentive service. Bathroom on premises. Street parking free after 6pm. Small interior sitting space; ideal for small parties or take out. Ekta is one of best Indian restaurants in the area!

I went here for the first time today and it was so good. We ordered the garlic chicken, eggplant, and saag paneer. The food was so good I'll definitely be going back

I don't like giving reviews that are less than 5 stars. I rarely do it. but I just don't want other people putting their hard earned money into an establishment for sub par food. I got the gobi manchurian, garlic naan, and rice pudding. I ordered everything to go. gobi manchurian is my favorite thing to get from indian restaurants. this one, I didn't even finish. it wasn't inherently awful, but it was by no means good. the cauliflower was dry, the sauce was dry, the flavor was off? it just was not something I would want to eat. the garlic naan was just not good. huge garlic slices all over it, barely cooked, had no real flavor. you're better off just getting the plain naan probably for cheaper. the rice pudding is okay. nothing fancy. will definitely eat that later when i'm at home and can put some of my own spices on it to jazz it up. Overall, the service was fast and the food is cheap, so you're getting what you paid for here. If you want a better alternative, Srinagar Indian Cuisine is the best in the area without absolutely breaking your bank.
My family and I got take out on 10/13/23. While the food was very good in terms of taste, the portion sizes are a complete rip off. We got 3 entrees (2 chicken dishes and 1 shrimp dish) and all 3 of them came in appetizer size containers. The butter chicken, mango chicken and shrimp were put in 6-8oz plastic containers…. I’m not sure if they were trying to save money or cut corners or we wouldn’t notice but … that was a complete rip off for entrees that cost $22-30. If you’re ordering take out beware.

My wife just placed order with Ekta through grubhub, order was delivered without naan’s we ordered. Though grubhub initiated refund but it’s not about refund when someone is waiting for their food. What would we do with food without breads. They just spoiled our evening. NOT HAPPY. Not Ordering again.

Food was ok. Chicken was undercooked a bit. Not sure if it was just that day. But the table we sat smelled so bad and dirty. Agree with the previous review on the service and management. They were a bit rude when i complained about the cleanliness. Overall not a great experience.

This restaurant is very clean and the food is so good! Loved it!
Not a paid review. Found this on yelp. It was really, really good. Flavorful, done quickly, service was good. Were in town for Villanova event and don't know the area well. Ekta was a great find. We loved it and will be back
