Reviews
We started our meal with vegan lentil soup and garlic naan bread, both of which were absolutely delicious. The lentil soup was prepared in a traditional manner and was incredibly tasty. The naan bread was freshly baked and served as the perfect accompaniment for dipping into my main course. I decided on the Baingan Bartha, a dish made with roasted eggplant, tomatoes, onions, herbs, and spices. The dish offered various levels of spiciness, and I chose a level slightly higher than medium. It was served with fragrant jasmine rice and was seasoned to perfection.
My friend ordered the lamb saagwala dish, which consisted of tender lamb cooked with spinach and traditional Indian spices. She described it as absolutely fantastic. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience with great service in a comfortable setting. Shortly after we arrived, the restaurant began to fill up with more guests, but we were grateful for the peaceful start to our evening. I threw some extra pictures in there. It’s just such a beautiful time of year in Haddonfield Township couldn’t resist..
We live in Philly next to lots of excellent Indian restaurants, but we’ll still make the drive over for Cross Culture! We always get the vegetarian appetizer sampler for two, it’s a must!!! Everything is so tasty you’ll have a hard time picking a favorite. We split the chef’s vegetarian tasting platter and loved getting to try all the different curries! You also get salad, naan, a samosa, papadum, and a dessert rice pudding.
You get so much food for a great price, we’re always shocked. And the restaurant itself has a lot of seating but still feels cozy! Warm lighting, good soft South Asian beats, comfy chairs. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. We love it here and you will too.
Pictured you will see whats listed as their “Chicken Curry” — The name might be kind of general, but the flavor they get in the sauce on that dish is serious, don’t pass it up! Also pictured you will see whats listed as the “Lamb Shank” — The menu says it is their “chef’s signature dish” and I can see why, it was awesome!!!
Also we haven’t found a better mango lassi than theirs. If you know Indian food you know how hit or miss those can be. Thank you Cross Culture!
At first, things were fine. It’s BYOB, so we grabbed some craft beers across the street, and the appetizers were good. My friend liked them so much we ordered more. Since this was his first visit to the US, he asked if our plates could be changed before the main course — something that’s standard in India. I’m usually not picky about plates here, but it was his request, and after 10 years I wanted to honor it. The waiter looked annoyed right then, as if serving us was too much trouble.
We ordered our main course at 8:40pm, fully aware the restaurant closed at 9:30pm. At 9:00pm, we asked for a few more naans — just bread, nothing new for the kitchen to cook. That’s when the waiter lost it. He said, “you guys are killing me.” Shocked, I asked what was wrong, and he ranted that we had been “ordering again and again” and that we should just eat off our dirty plates because the kitchen was closing. There were still 30 minutes left before closing, and again, we weren’t adding anything extra to the main course — just bread.
When I pushed back gently, asking if this was really how he spoke to customers, his reply was: “well, the customer is not always right.” That was the final straw. It was clear he was frustrated simply because we took time to enjoy our beers and appetizers, asked for clean plates once, and then ordered bread later. Basically, because he had to serve us more than once.
I’ve never seen such hostility in a restaurant. This wasn’t a “bad day.” This was someone who carries negative energy and shouldn’t be anywhere near hospitality. He ruined what should have been a precious evening after 10 years with my friend.
Cross Culture completely failed to live up to its name. Respect and service are non-negotiable, especially when customers are paying and tipping 15–20% for it. If you value your time, your guests, or even basic decency, avoid this place at all cost!!
The ambience was good and so as presentation of the dishes. But the taste is not that great. Their Biryani was neither Biryani nor a fried rice. The kebab appetizer looked very nice but it didn’t taste anything similar to Original Veg Kebab. They really need to change their recipe to taste their food to Indian food.
Based on ambience, presentation and service I feel the rating is 3. They lose ratings for taste.
