Guru's Indian Cuisine

We've seen that be having lot of rain recently. Which makes me really saag paneer and chai .My bff is starting to feel a little under the weather... And I just knew curry and chai would do the trick and fully restore his health. Chicken korma for him.Of course it was delicious and service the best of the best.I love my dreamy and flavorful saag paneer. I love coming here because I feel like I am being taken care of by my family .

the food was great, authentic, and the wait staff was very helpful with suggestions. the food was very flavorful and the heat/spice was well balanced the salty lassi was great. the spinach chaat was quite delicious. improvements? the chairs were uncomfortable. i prefer to eat off placemats or a table cloth. the musical sound track was super weird. sort of indian country western. that can be fixed. eat well!

Got takeout and didn't really experience the service or ambiance. The food was very good - the places that were closer to me either changed, moved, closed or massively increased their prices. Spice levels were great. Chicken Korma, Aloo Ghobi are our goto's. Samosa order only has 2 samosas and more on the "medium" in terms of size. We got mild which has a nice spice levels for me and wife who are weak. They were very generous about the rice. Had got an extra rice but ended up not needing it. Naan was good but I think it would be much better in the restaurant - was a little soggy from the ride home. But had the right taste and nothing a quick zap in the toaster couldn't fix.

Guru Indian Cuisine on Sycamore Street in the heart of beautiful downtown Newtown may have just changed hands, but the kitchen is still headed in the right direction. Unchanged menu and primarily vegetarian oriented with a reasonable concession to the meat eaters in the community, it continues to ably create delicious and colorful dishes to soothe the savage beast.We dropped in for a Labor Day repast and found the house moderately full, but with the perfect table in the large window facing Sycamore. Service was provided by a young man who knew his curries and efficiently provided all the assistance needed. We opened with draft Rupee Lager which arrived in glasses accentuating its rich amber color. Definitely a mid-market mild beer for the madding crowd. From there we ordered Avocado Chaat and Veggie Samosas as appetizers. The chaat looked like tiny armadillos that had to be handled delicately as they were in a round thin shell that cracked easily upon first bite, allowing their delicate semisweet inner secret to spill out onto hands and plate. A first for me, and I really liked it. The Samosas were freshly deep fried and full of mashed tatoes and green peas. The tamarind dipping sauce was excellent. Our mains were Chicken Korma (spicy), Kashmiri Chicken (moderate heat) and Vegetable Manchurian from the Indo-Chinese menu. Loved all the sauces and fresh chicken, while the Manchu was not as crisp as advertised, but still enjoyable. We ordered enough to bring home a bit of everything for the working members of our fam, and they really devoured the "leftovers" when they got home last night. Word on the street is that a second Indian house is opening soon up the block. Wonder what the extra competition will do for quality and prices? Gotta think only good things can happen.

Many of you may have eaten at Guru's Indian Cuisine in Newton. Well, time to checkout the new menu. They lots of new dishes and as always the food is delicious. The service is always top notch and the owners are the best. Friendly service! Run don't walk to checkout the new menu. Namaste

I love this restaurant. Their food is so good, they are SOOO thoughtful and considerate about how they label dietary restrictions. I've been able to try lots of new things because I can easily see what is dairy and gluten free.One time I ordered from them during the day and they gave free papadum with a "Support Small Businesses" sticker which I thought was such a nice touch.The food tastes higher quality than in years' back too. I often get shrimp curry and the shrimp tastes a lot fresher now. (The only issue I've ever had is one time I ordered curry with vegetables and shrimp, veggies for +$5, shrimp for +$16, and they only sent 2 shrimp. Usually that is not an issue.)Overall though, I love what a staple this restaurant has been in the Newtown community. I love that they take the time to think of things like adding pumpkin into some recipes for fall, etc - it's just fun and shows that they really care about what they do here.

Our Indian home away from home restaurant where you are treated like royalty and served incredible cuisine. You can taste a little be of Priya and Ashni Guru in every bite. What better time than Autumn to come to taste the delicacies from their kitchen than with their brand new AUTUMN-inspired special menu. Let me get you drooling with these appetizers: must try Butternut Squash soup with cinnamon, paprika, turmeric, pumpkin seeds, their INCREDIBLE lamb sloppy baba- minced grass-fed lamb, Turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, served with fresh lemon and buns.... you'll be licking the plate clean. How about some of the exciting autumn entrees: Corn Bhartha- sweet corn, ginger, garlic paste, tomatoes, onions, turmeric, and coriander, you'll be licking the bowl. Their chicken or vegan pumpkin curry-- pumpkin, turmeric, ginger, onions, garlic and cinnamon. Was fabulous. We left a little room for dessert--- SHrikhand cannoli was off the charts--- saffron shrikhand, and cannoli shell. We also tried the pumpkin naan-- pumpkin, brown sugar and cinnamon and we dipped it in the pumpkin curry.WOW-- what a fabulous menu. See my photos and don't blame me if you drool over your cellphone. Make a reservation before this menu is history.

It's the smell that gets you. Sitting at a stop light with the windows open at the edge of the Borough, you're hit with multiple waves. First it's the scent of grilled lamb. Then the scent of warming spice. waft from the corner Sycamore and Jefferson. That's all it takes. It's not what you would expect from this colonial town that dates back more than 300 years. But Guru's take on Indian fare in the middle of what was once wide swaths of cattle and corn fields is some of the best dining around. My dining partner just dips her pinky toe in the spice pool, and mild was too tame the last time we took an Indian dip. Medium was our path at Guru's. We started with Indian Poutine - an inventive little take on the Québécois classic. Crisp fries, korma sauce, shredded paneer cheese and cilantro were a great little way to start. Just a little flaky sea salt would have rounded out the dish. The salt in the cheese didn't bring enough of the other flavors out like they should been. Her chicken Archari had good spice and a unique tang from its Indian pickle, garlic and ginger. My chicken vindaloo, even at medium, provided enough heat to turn my ears red and brought sweat to my brow. Granted, it's August and there wasn't a breeze to be felt, but I felt the chilies, and my heat tolerance is usually pretty high. Regardless, it was quite good and with the generous portion of rice, filled me up enough to have a lunch for the next day. We ate outside. The inside was clean and modern with solid air conditioning with a full bar. Skipped the alcohol tonight and went with the prerequisite mango lassi and a nice cinnamon iced tea. Our server was young (all his Council Rock classmates walking around knew his name and seemingly waited around to say hello) and was attentive and polite despite the female distractions. Usually I can find something to poke a hole in a place, but with Guru's, that's not the case. Nice little dining experience!

UPDATE guys they readded meat to their menu!!! Its like they saw my review. Sorry for all of the updates

Been coming to gurus for around two years now. I was very pleased to learn when they made their menu vegetarian and vegan primarily, so I am one of the few that's upset they added meat back as an option with new ownership. Last few times I have ordered take out, my food has been sweeter and tasted different, which was unappealing. Also seems like menu items aren't always consistently the same, such as the Aloo Tiki Chaat and Vegetable Samosas. The potatoes seem to switch out in style without warning. However, Gurus always holds a special place in my heart. I love the richness in the Vegetable Tikka Masala. They nail the sauce, even when making vegan! There have been a few times where I have been told I can't receive this dish as vegan, even though I always order it like that. I'm excited for the future of Gurus. I hope they nail down their flavoring and stick with consistency! I also hope they run their fall menu again.
