I come here almost every weekend and have been able to try a wide variety of dishes and each and every time the consistency of the quality and taste amazes me. The service is also consistently top notch with bar tenders and servers who really make an effort as well as the host who is very accommodating. They also have one of the best happy hour deals I’ve seen with great prices on the food and drinks for happy hour. Cannot recommend Veda’s enough!! Here’s a pic of one of my favorite drinks but if you have a chance you have to try their White Russian Twist!!

They offer an impressive variety of drinks, from creative cocktails to classic favorites, all perfectly balanced and flavorful.
The starters were a highlight—fresh, well‑seasoned, and served quickly.
Overall, it’s a great spot for anyone looking to enjoy quality Indian food with a wide selection of drinks and appetizers. We’ll definitely be coming back.

I really wanted to enjoy this place, but unfortunately our experience was very disappointing and concerning. There were four of us dining together last night. We started with the chicken murmuri appetizer, which was actually quite good and gave us high hopes.
For entrées, we ordered goat cheese naan, chicken chettinad, Bombay goat curry, and palak paneer. Almost immediately after taking our first bites, all four of us commented that something felt “off” about the food. The chicken chettinad was clearly undercooked — the chicken was chewy and had a raw texture that made it difficult to eat. The Bombay goat curry also did not taste right and felt questionable.
At the time, we didn’t want to create an issue and decided not to say anything to the manager, which in hindsight we regret. Later that night, all four of us experienced stomach issues, and two people ended up vomiting.
This was not just a matter of taste or preference — undercooked meat is a serious food safety concern. I truly wish we had spoken up in the moment, and I hope the management takes food preparation and quality control more seriously to prevent this from happening to other guests.

Awesome Indian food! The best I’ve had in my life! Love the atmosphere as well. Our server, Edwen, was super helpful and attentive. This is my new favorite place!

Went on a Thursday. The lunch was great. They had soup, multiple appetizers, several chutneys, jeera rice, 4 vegetarian dishes and 2 non-veg dishes. Fresh flatbread was brought to the table.
Place is clean and spacious. Was definitely worth the $20 per person.

I came in about a week ago with a party of 20. The service was amazing. The manager orchestrated everything. The food came out quick. Everything was wonderful, staff, food, environment, and clean restrooms.
My food was great, but all I could think of was my friend’s wild mushroom korma. It was just creamy, rich and savory all at the same time.
So we came in today, and saw the buffet. I’m an omnivore, but my favorite stuff was the vegetarian. Sadly they didn’t have the mushroom korma out. But there was a vegetable korma with cauliflower. It was just as amazing. The paneer was good. And I always liked chickpeas. I tried to restrain myself on the tasty Naan and samosas. I wanted to let room for all the other wonderful morsels.
So this may be my new Sunday brunch tradition.

We were in town from New York & decided to try Veda based on the menu on OpenTable. From start to finish, the ambience, the food, & the staff were wonderful. I would specifically ask for Khemraj Rambharose if you can because he was absolutely amazing. He was kind to the kids & my parents, he was professional, knowledgeable, & also gave us many suggestions on what to try based on our specific need & wants. The food was very tasty & unique, but with its authentic Indian roots. They are very accommodating & specific with their spice level scale as well. Highly recommend Veda to Philly residents & visitors alike!

Ordered the Tandoori Shrimp over lentil and rice. Received some type of grilled shrimp with basic spices and wet texture. Definitely did not come out of any Tandoori oven! No rice or lentils. Veggie samosas, rhe least seasoned I’ve had before. Not pleased. Not authentic at all.

Reds is s great place for a date or celebration. The dishes are aromatic and they will dial in the spice to your taste. The ambiance is bistro chic without being pretentious. Service is friendly and efficient. Fully recomend!
