Food 3/10Atmosphere 5/10Service 4/10TipsI LIVE for the northern liberties location at the Indian cuisine, and this was the first time I ordered from this location. First of all, food was all lukewarm, or cold. It seemed like it had been out for quite a few hours. The curry tasted off, sour, and old.I didn't end up finishing my food, but both my partner, and I had terrible nausea, vomiting, stomach ache after eating the curry. The chicken was also extremely dry, tasted, sour again, and it was so nontender. I do not think I will be ordering from this location again. Order at your own risk!!

I was sad when we first moved away from Ekta on Girard. However the west philly shop has filled the void. I cannot speak to the ambiance or the layout since we only ever get delivery from here. The food though, is dare I say it better. That's not a knock on the other Ekta. They are delicious and I'd never talk down on that place. I almost always get the the lamb tiki masala. The garlic naan. My wife switches between a few main dishes she loves and different naans. Delivery is always 30-45. Which I think is good for being across town. Honestly surprised they come that far. I was almost going to try a different Indian place last night and then my wife was had a door dash coupon that waived all delivery fees. First Indian place on door dash is Ekta. So why try and fix what works? We love this place.

We love ekta! This is our favorite take out Indian spot and it never disappoints. Our favorite dishes are the chicken tikka masala, mutter paneer and the paneer tikka masala. Don't sleep on the cheese naan- very yummy and much better than the paneer naan.The service is usually quick when ordering online just wish the pieces weren't so high.

The food here is scrumptious. I enjoy every spoonful. Very well-seasoned. The lamb is my go-to. And it's tender. The kebob is exceptional.

We ordered takeout from here when we couldn't think of anything else to eat and wanted to try something new. And boy was it filling and delicious! We ordered butter chicken which was rich and filling. a the lamb pieces in the lamb saagwala were also really good. The spinach based sauce was a steal. The garlic naan was disappointing as it was served cold. I also didn't like it too much because it was flat and lacked in flavor. Mango lassi was good and a bit more sour to the taste than other mango lassis I've had. Aside from the naan, we enjoyed our meal and will be getting more food from here in the future

This is where the old Tandoor India used to been, I think I recognized the decorations. We came for lunch during a weekday and it wasn't busy. Each of us got a dine-in order and a to-go order. The dine in came fast which is good because we were on lunch and super hungry. Food was good and the one we asked for "not spicy" wasn't. To go orders also came towards the end of our meal and checks came and we were out. Definitely will be back, solid usual Indian food.

The food is 10 out of 10. The best Indian food I've had in a very long time. The flavors were spot on...so flavorful. I get so mad when I get Indian food and it's bland, definitely not the case here. I ordered catering for 8 people and everyone raved about it. I couldn't get pics because as soon as I sat it down, everyone dug in. The amount of food I received for the price was great. There was so much I was able to bring some home to share with my husband who also raved about how good it was. I have now craved food from Ekta every day since I had it. Can't wait to go back! I'll be sure to get pics the next time I'm there.

Been here a few times. Last time I went, I had the runs. Haven't returned since. There weren't any issues I can recall prior to that but the last time, made me concerned.

THE BEST INDIAN FOOD IN PHILADELPHIA! honestly I have had my fair share of good Indian food and EKTA is top notch. They also have very good customer service, I usually order from here every Sunday and the one week the Uber driver did not deliver one item and Ekta told me to call next time and they will give me another item since I didn't want to pick it up that night. The next time I called & mentioned it they did what they said they would do. I am also always happy with the quality and quantity of the dishes.
