Amma's South Indian Cuisine

What a lovely space! Ambience is nice and intimate. Interior is thoughtfully designed and gorgeous. The food was solid overall, though keep in mind the portions lean towards fine dining. The goat shank was flavorful with meat falling off the bone. Lamb chops were yummy, frenched with a tasty sauce. Chicken tikka masala was pretty good. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. Service overall was excellent.

This is one of my favorite places and now they moved to a new location. While they have changed their menu a bit their food quality has not changed and it is still so good and a staple place. Interior is so cute with a more modern style.

Amma’s Kitchen is truly a gem! The food is absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors that make every dish feel like a comforting homemade meal. The ambience is warm, clean, and inviting perfect for both casual dining and family gatherings. The service is exceptional as well. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always willing to help, which makes the overall experience even better. Highly recommend Amma’s Kitchen if you’re looking for excellent food, great ambience, and top-notch service!

Having a fine dine Indian restaurant that offers Halal food is great to have. We loved the ambience, service and of all the food was amazing. Enjoyed everything. Falooda is a must have. Everything was so fresh. Clean restrooms, high chairs for kids available. Paid parking decks available close by or paid street parking.

Chicken biryani was okay. The dosa was very nice and well made. This is a South Indian restaurant and the flavors clearly reflect that style. I also liked that they serve nannari. It is a traditional drink that is popular across Andhra

This was my first time coming to the new location. It’s inside the old Max Brenner building. The atmosphere is fantastic and the space is utterly stunning. The menu has changed, but it was missing a few favorites: notably the paneer dishes, the gobi manchurian, and the basic form of the thali. This time I had the chaat (it was lacking a bit of flavor), the paneer bhurjee (very good, spicy), and the salt lassi (incredibly, very cooling, tasted great). I would definitely come back, even more so if the menu prices dropped a bit. Overall, I think if the menu adds back those favorites, it will be my #1 indian spot in Philly!
