Lilly's Authentic Indian Cuisine opened in Jenkintown in 2020, named for Lilly Kutty Thomas, the mother of owner Jiji Thomas, who describes the restaurant as a way to carry forward her mother's cooking and the joy it brought people. The menu draws from multiple regions of India, with spice levels adjusted to order.
The dining room was designed with help from family and friends, and features artwork throughout by Alysia Lynn Mackenzie. Regulars in the surrounding Montgomery County community point to consistent food quality, attentive service, and a room that feels more polished than a typical neighborhood spot — the kind of place that has built a loyal, repeat following since opening.
