New Era Indian Cuisine sits on E Willow Grove Avenue in Chestnut Hill, with a sister location in Plymouth Meeting. It's BYOB, and the menu covers a lot of ground: samosas, pakoras, and Indo-Chinese leaning appetizers like Gobi Manchurian and Chilli Chicken up front, then a tandoor section of clay-oven meats — chicken, lamb, salmon, shrimp, paneer — followed by curries, kormas, vindaloos, and kadai preparations across chicken, lamb, seafood, and vegetarian sections. Breads run from plain and garlic naan through cheese and Peshawari versions, plus laccha paratha and tandoori roti.
The restaurant leans on freshness and home-style cooking as its stated approach, and it's built a regular following in the neighborhood, with vegetarian options and affordable lunch specials that keep the takeout side busy alongside dine-in.
