Lilly’s Restaurant

Wow delicious & wonderful service! Ww shared two dishes and roti. Saagwala & Shrimp Kadai. Both dishes were delicious at the medium spice level. We'll be back!

The food is pretty good at Lilly's but the system for ordering is the pits! We are still not going to restaurants so we do delivery a lot. I try to order in a way that benefits the restaurants, but I will have to rethink Lilly's next time. I ordered through Toast and it clearly says that there is no delivery fee (see attached screen shot) but they charged me $5 plus a $.99 fee. When I tried to order through some of the other delivery services at 4pm the "schedule for later" button was grayed out until the next day!In addition, the menu and the pricing were different on every site. I couldn't order plain naan on Toast so I got what I thought was the next best thing - Bhatura - and it was awful. Dry and chewy. Plain naan is available on the other sites so why not Toast?!I placed my order around 3:30 - 4pm and on the GrubHub site I couldn't get a dinner menu and there was nothing but vegetarian options. When I looked later at night the dinner menu was there.Between the menu and pricing discrepancies, the varying delivery fees, and the menu not being available on some sites ordering was so frustrating that I probably won't order from them again. I felt like I was given the runaround at every turn - and the prices were all over the place! Every site was different. I don't need the aggravation and there are other Indian restaurants to choose from.

From a diverse menu to amazing food, Lilly's is my favorite. Great spice palate and friendly waitstaff. If you are considering going, grab a bottleOf your favorite wine or beverage or choice and go!

2nd visit but first review of Lilly's.We made a weekend reservation, as it starts getting crowded around 6:30pm.While overall good, there were some things that were lacking. First time I dined here was better, but perhaps it was because it wasn't a full house like it was this time.Appetizers we started with Samosa Chaat and Chicken 65. Both well done and no complaints there. I appreciate the Samosa Chaat is served hot as opposed to cold, which can be the case at other restaurants.Main dishes were the Shrimp Korma and Butter Chicken. Both curries were on point flavor-wise.That said, the Shrimp Korma had a shrimp size quality issue. It's a $21 dish and included 8 shrimps. 6 of those 8 were small shrimps. For $21, I expect better.For naan, we had the Makhani (buttered) Naan. While it tasted fine, I thought it was a bit on the soggy side.Service could have been better as well. It did take a long while for the main dishes to arrive, and the naan came out some time after that. I understood it was a full house, but wait time could be improved - as weekends will always be busy. Refills of water were also infrequent. At one point I watched a staff person walk towards the front where we sat, refilled water at one table, and then proceed to walk back towards the kitchen without looking at our table.And although minor, I felt like we were asked a few too many times how the food was. Despite all comments above, I do consider this one of the better Indian food locations outside Center City area. I would come back again.

Went here with a large group (8 people) and it came highly recommended as delicious, authentic Indian food. I couldn't have been more impressed! We ordered a bunch of appetizers and the group's favorite was the samosa chaat. My husband has never liked it from other spots but loved it here. The tandoori wings and cauliflower appetizer were also outstanding. My favorite entree was lamb korma but everything I tried was delicious, including chicken tikka masala, lamb curry, and chicken biryani. Our server was so helpful and friendly and they even gave us a complementary taste of dessert which was the perfect end to a great meal. We will definitely be back!

Lilly's is a gem in Jenkintown. We were there for lunch today. The Gobi Manchurian sauce was excellent, though some of the cauliflower pieces lacked the crispiness you would expect. The saagwala paneer and chicken vindaloo more than made up for it. Saag (especially the mild version) can be bland, but Lilly's gets the seasoning just right. The vindaloo was a win for my spice-loving spouse, and the naan was perfect. Great meal with good portions. A great value overall. It does not have its own parking lot, but there is public parking just behind it.

We had a great Valentines Day dinner at Lilly's. It is BYOB, even though it doesn't say that anywhere on the website. We called before and asked. Reservations are recommended as the place was full by 6:30. We had a 6:00 reservation and it was pretty empty when we got there.We ordered veggie samosas and gobhi manchurian for appetizers. The samosa filling lacked salt but was overall very good! The gobhi manchurian was so delicious! For entrees, we ordered chicken madras curry and my favorite, malai kofta. Both were so delicious and full of amazing flavor.The size of the naan was huge compared to other Indian restaurants, almost twice the size! We got garlic naan and amritsari kulcha. My husband and I both liked the charred flavor of the naan.We were very pleased with our meal and will definitely return!

Love the flavors, location , and cleanliness of this restaurant. We been eating here since they opened. However, something has changed. The once tender, melt in your mouth lamb, has been replaced with lamb that is in need of tenderizing. Taste is great but chews like a cheap steak.

The reviews are great, so perhaps they just had an off night, but our takeout order was bad. - Raita was fine but kind of a small portion - Naan was cold. We showed up twenty minutes before the pickup time and it was still cold. Not room temperature. Cold. - Lamb korma seemed to have curdled. It was gritty instead of creamy. - Goan fish curry was bad. This is supposed to be the spiciest curry. They offer five levels of spice. I ordered the spiciest one. It was not particularly spicy. C'mon, guys. If people order the spiciest of five, they want something really spicy. This was not that. This wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't also expensive. At $20 an entree it needs to be better.Edit: Got a message right away offering to make things right on our next order. That's worth another star and another try.

So we have had friends talk about this place for a while now. I'm so glad we finally took the time to try it out. We seemed to be the first customers of the day and were soon joined by others. Quiet atmosphere, gentle Indian music in the background, and inspiring wall murals complete the scene. We ordered a smathering of items. Started with fresh squeezed lemonade and Soda Naranga. Really enjoyed the soda. Lemonade was okay. Goat curry, Keena Naan with lamb, Chicken 65, Gobhi Manchurian, and vegetable samosa. All a delight of flavors.Samosa was descent, curry at #3 heat was just spicy enough, Naan, especially when dipped in curry, was very good. My favorite bite was the gobhi manchuruan. We had a lot of food to pack up and I am willing to bet my daughter will really like the chicken 65. Very well flavored bites of chicken.
