I always order Indian from here. Sadly the grub hub driver is starting to remember me! The food is delicious!
Only problem I've had is there delivery driver doesn't come until a certain time so i placed and order earlier then normal my order was delayed. They were nice enough to one of this items I ordered for freeHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 973319984Mar 31, 2016
Everything I tried at Laxmis was delicious. The appetizer sampler "with meat" came with various types of meats mixed with peppers and onions. I'm not sure what all the different things I was eating were.. but it was delicious! I ordered 2 different Currys for dinner. The Korma Curry w/ Lamb was my absolute favorite. It's a creamy sauce made with cashew, almond and indian spices. EXCELLENT!! I also ordered the Tikki Masala Curry w/ Chicken. It is a tomato gravy with a touch of cream. Also very good. Both entrees came with a side of Jasmine rice. The only negative I can think of was that the portions are VERY small. There is definitely no leftovers after this meal. The prices and the portion sizes do not match up for me. There are no other decent Indian restaurants in the vicinity. So if you are in the mood for Indian in this neighborhood, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Honestly, love the food here but on my most recent order I was told it would be an hour from the time of the order when I placed it online. After an hour and a half I called to check on the food. Apparently they ran out of tikka masala and had to make more for my order and rather than call me to let me know so I could potentially place an order somewhere else they just let me wait for my food.
Its now approaching two hours from the time of order and my food still hasn't arrived.
I will never order from the East Falls location again and I will actually likely consider ordering from an entirely different Indian place next time I get takeout.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Albert S.Cambridge, MA1697537Aug 3, 2016
Got delivery - absolutely flavorless.
Cold, flavorless, dry naan - one of my coworkers put it best, "They looked at the order list on the way here and realized they needed naan, but found some in the backseat."
Chicken tikka masala was absolutely horrible - the chicken tasted like cardboard. Korma was equally bad...
Thankfully, I had some mango lassi - that was ok at best - to wash this down so I wouldn't go hungry that night.
Never again.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - 296370103Aug 11, 2014
If you happen to be an adult with braces, Indian food is nice because there are a lot of options that involve small pieces of meat in a sauce--very braces friendly.
...but I digress
Laxmi's is delicious! My favorites are:
- Chicken Makhani (chicken in a buttery tomato sauce)
- Mixed Tandoori (chicken, lamb and seafood prepared in clay oven)
- The Plain Naan
Oddly enough, I usually love onions but I don't like the onion naan. There is a pasty onion spread inside of the naan that makes it taste mushy--not a fan.
I order online and pick up because I leave nearby, but I would not hesitate to order delivery. Even though the interior space is lovely, I've never really seen people dine in.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Harshal P.Philadelphia, PA1514317Jan 15, 2016
I love this little gem tucked away in to a quiet neighborhood. They actually have two locations that are fairly close to each other.
The food at Laxmi's is very authentic and very well priced. The spice level and creaminess were as perfect as can be. The staff is also very friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes.
I ordered for pickup but the inside of the restaurant looks to be a very nice place to eat.
And best of all, Laxmi's is BYOB.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 29, 2013
After 2 trips here, one in person, one take out - it is easily a 4.5 star restaurant. If you love spice, stay away from the tandoori chicken. I ordered extra hot and it came out with no spice, I mean less heat than my girl's medium hot curry. Samosas were great! nice a plump, piping hot and very flavorful!
However I came back because the curry was so good. I got the Vindaloo Curry which had an amazingly flavorful spice! Extra Hot Baby! Take out seems to be a better deal as the jasmine rice bowl was huge!
After a few more trips here... I will feel confident in the honor of a 5 star review, but lets not be hasty.
Also lets hope when the weather gets nicer, they have some tables outside because the restaurant was small with a line going out the door!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 16, 2014
I think I just found my new favorite Indian spot in the city. I've eaten at several other Indian restaurants in the city, but in my opinion, Laxmi's is the best so far. My fiance' and I just finished eating Chicken Makhani, Chicken Padhai, Shrimp Chaat and naan with mango chutney. The food was superb. To top it off, we had it delivered and they came within 20-25 minutes of us placing the order.
Cant beat an Indian spot that's close by AND delivers!! The prices are a bit steep, but well worth it. Indian food usually IS expensive. I think our dinner came to $47.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Amara M.Philadelphia, PA8014350Jan 20, 2016
I finally got around to ordering from here. I'm Middle Eastern and I'm always weary of trying Indian/Pakistani food at restaurants because I'm super critical.
I ordered chicken tikka masala, naan, raita, and vegetable samosa and they gave me complimentary rice. The chicken tikka masala, which I ordered spicy, was so delicious! However, for $14 I expected a little larger of a portion. The naan was fluffy and came with two pieces for one order. Not bad! The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the samosa. It was good but I've had way better. It seemed to have been fried earlier and then warmed up for order. The imlee chutney was thin and I personally prefer more of a thicker spicy chutney as my mother always made her own.
The delivery was fast! I must have placed my order by 715 and the food had arrived 20 minutes later! Super friendly delivery guy as well. Overall I would definitely visit this restaurant again.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Brandi J.Philadelphia, PA579Apr 29, 2016
I really really really love Laxmi's. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. I order Laxmi's for delivery about once every two weeks. And I'm known to order two nights in a row because sometimes I just don't save myself enough leftovers and it's sad when you run out of delicious Indian food. So I get more. And it's amazing every single time.
I am new to the city and vegan and this has become my go to spot. My favorite is the chana masala and baingan bharta. With garlic naan. And sometimes samosas when I really want to spoil myself. Like right now. Another positive note is that they really bring the heat. No messing around there. I just love this place. Thank you Laxmi's!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
