This place is right next to the convention center, so super convenient for vegans who want to have a veggie heavy meal.
We got the cabbage and collards along with the Chana on yellow rice with peas. And a samosa. All of that was plenty for the two of us. All for about $20
The cabbage was pleasantly sweet, and gently spiced.
The collards had a bit more umami to it, and more seasoned overall.
The Chana and rice were mostly simple, but had the occasional delightful pops of whole spice.
The samosa was also lightly spiced, and it was extremely flaky. (Seemed like maybe phyllo dough?)
Basic info:
This place is cafeteria style. You choose a rice and then 2-3 sides.
I don’t think they have any type of comprehensive online menu. It’s all either incomplete text-based menus or a whole host of photos of the electronic board.
I’ve read they may also have kofta, but I’ve never actually seen it. (But I’ve only ever popped by later in the day, and I read in one review that the kofta disappears early. We went at 2 yesterday, and it was already gone, or never was)
The Chana doesn’t have a V on the little sign, but it does say “dairy free” so I don’t know what’s going on with that. But I trusted the server when they said it was vegan, and I haven’t felt any discomfort since our meal yesterday.
Btw, when we brought our food back to the table at the convention center, the folks who were sitting next to us left loudly and in a hurry, muttering about the scent, but our cabbage was from a freshly brought out tray, so I admit it WAS rather cabbagey. lol!

Never really know what to get when I come to the Reading Terminal and ended up getting some Indian Food. Went with the chicken tikka masala platter and honestly it was pretty good. The rice was flavorful and the chicken tikka masala was actually pretty tasty but for close to $15 a platter the portion size was definitely not worth it. The flatbread was nothing special either even dipped in the little bit of sauce that was put in the platter. The piece of side chicken was a let down too because of how much the heat overpowered the actual flavor of it. Weirdly enough nothing was hot or warm, it was all lukewarm which is not what I’m looking for in a hot meal. Just better choices to be had at the Reading Terminal but if in the mood for Indian cuisine it’s just an okay spot.

25 cents for a plastic bag? C’mon.
Chicken khorma was good. The somosas get fresh out of the oven or don’t get. Markedly better when fresh. Portions pretty small for what you pay. Get almost double from a truck at this price. Naan was good l.

This place is amazing. We had yellow rice, curry cabbage, coconut curry chicken, tandoori chicken with bread. The taste of everything is absolutely delicious. We both enjoyed the dining experience here at Nanee’s Kitchen.
It’s located near 12th and Market inside The Reading Terminal market.
They do have adequate seating as well.
I highly recommend Nanee’s Kitchen.

Coming from a big Italian family in south philly where food is the backbone of life, I can honestly say this place has great food! I’ve eaten here over 20 times and received thanks from the friends and co-workers I’ve recommended this place to. Give it a try!
Favorite Dish: Seasoned yellow rice with Tandoori Chicken and Curry Cabbage
Update: 6 years later and Najee’s Kitchen is still my go to for authentic Indian cuisine. My new favorite dish is the Chicken Tikka Massala with a side of Curry Cabbage and Pita.

Im in Center City every Wednesday, and two Thursdays every month. I eat here on every one of those days and have done so for years.
. The food is fantasticc, the staff is very nice and you get really good portions for the price. Inusually get the salmon, or sometimes Chicken Korama.

Surprisingly the only place serving Indian-Pakistani cuisine at the Reading Terminal. Minutes away, within walking distance from Philadelphia City Hall, Nanee’s Kitchen serves a handful of meal sized chicken based dishes, Indian beverages (see Rose lassi in picture) and tasty snacks (veg and chicken puffs in picture). It isn’t anything amazing but whatever you order, it’ll make you feel content. They can certainly improve on make the food more authentic but I won’t blame them for customizing it for their local American audience. Slightly pricey for the quantity they offer, but definitely a place to check out if you’re at the Reading Terminal. If you’re going here just to eat Indian, maybe reconsider, there’s plenty of better Indian restaurants in the area to choose from.

Flavor was not there at all, it’s super bland.. and the naan isn’t even real naan. It’s like frozen pita or premade store brought pita! HALF of a pita for $3. Ridiculous, such a shame.

Great taste of Indian food available classics in veg and no veg. Mango lassi was delicious. The food was prepared very quickly, I have tried Chana masala with rice, and I can recommend it. The food was served in bowls with covers so we could easily take leftovers and eat at home later..

We came to the market while traveling for work and thought this place looked good so we gave it a try.
I’ll start by saying that we both love Indian food. The food looked good and smelled good, but unfortunately we were pretty disappointed.
We got the chicken korma with a side of naan (they were out of garlic naan). My biggest issue was that it didn’t have any flavor. The chicken was kind of dry and the sauce was missing the rich, spicy flavor you would expect from Indian food.
There were so many other great things at the market that we ended up not eating most of it because it just wasn’t very good.
Maybe we ordered the wrong thing or maybe it was an off batch, but I probably wouldn’t come back.
