In Short
Don't let the schmaltzy name fool you--the dining room is stylish and intimate, with a sitar soundtrack that keeps the mood lively. Between the succulent tandori scallops, flawless homemade cream of tomato and coriander soup, and the dahi bhalla (lentil dumplings glazed with tangy yogurt sauce), it's possible to make an outstanding meal out of appetizers. An entree selection that includes lamb, chicken, duck, lobster, swordfish and almost a dozen vegetarian specialties.

Someone mentioned Buffet....and all I saw was a couple of mishmashed curried dishes. Why do people open restaurants when they do not have a clue what Indian cuisine is. The appetizers had old oil taste to it and things when downwards from there.I had gone back a week later to try dinner. I will not go any further than simply to say my visit to Indian Affair was just horrible. I do not care about service if the food is good. I wont even waste my time with mentioning anything we had. The owner ( a lady) tried convincing us (before the food arrived) how they prepared the meal and how freshly prepared it was. I rather have Pathaks curry from a can than an Indian Affair......and the PRICE S@#%$.

I love Indian food and always read reviews and try to find new places. But, after recently visiting one in Norristown..Aman, I am glad you guys exist. Nice to enter your clean, bubbly place and enjoy the good food. Thank you..crew at the An Indian Affair.

I love this place! An Indian Affair has the most beautiful decor, hardwood floors, complimented by a wood beamed ceiling, framed scenes of Classic India, back dining room has cozy seating by the fireplace that overlooks the courtyard. Candlelight flickers as Classical India music plays in the background. Now I've eaten at ALL the Indian restaurants in Philly, they don't even come close to the quality, freshness & flavors of An Indian Affair! For appetizers, ask for their Special Mixed Grill, a tasty selection of meats and seafood grilled to perfection in the Tandoori Grill, served on a sizzling plate-great to share! Lamb Samosas stuffed w/spiced, minced lamb & fried to perfection! The Pakoras are another must-light crispy fried vegetable fritters. My favorite entrees are the Laziz Pasilyin-grilled lamb chops served in a light coconut curry. Chicken Mahkni-succulent cubes of chicken in a creamy, butter, tomato sauce. Prawn Malai Curry-large, jumbo shrimps, served in a sweet light curry sauce. All the Biryanis (Indian Fried Rice) are excellent-choose from shrimp, chicken or lamb. They have a large selection of Vegetarian Dishes as well-the Bhindi Masala's my favorite-Okra Curry & the Alu Gobi-spiced potatoes & cauliflower. And make sure you order the bread basket! All entrees can be prepared Mild, Spicy or Indian Spicy! Don't forget to have a Mango Lassi-a sweet, blended drink of fresh mango & fresh homemade yogurt-you'll be addicted, I promise! Now this is Delicious Dining! Prices are reasonable. Great lunch specials & weekend lunch buffet. It's BYOB, but the owner said they'll soon be serving liquor. Most Elegant & Romantic Indian restaurant in Philly! Great place for a date, large groups & take-out on those rainy days! They even cater! An Indian Affair is a must for all the Indian food lovers! For diners new to Indian cuisine, this is the place to try-the staff is very knowledgeable of the food, making the best recommendations!
