Veda - Modern Indian Bistro

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner date at Veda. Highly recommend the spicy corn soup, lamb chops, and chicken labadar. Drinks were also unique and well made! Our server Khemraj was very attentive, provided suggestions, and made the experience all the more pleasant.

Can here for their happy hour. I got the lemon drop and it was good. I also got the samosa chaat and tandoori paneer. The tandoori paneer came with cilantro mint chutney and it was tasty. It was well marinated. The samosa chaat was good wish they added some amli chutney and it would’ve been perfect. The bartender was super nice. Loved the Bollywood music. Loved also seeing books at the entrance and bar, which fits the name Veda.

One of my favorite happy hours in Philly! I absolutely love everything on the menu, but I always seem to get the samosa chaat, tandoori paneer, goat cheese naan, Calcutta pork ribs and goan crab cake. I tried the Amritsari fish pakora for the first time yesterday and it was perfectly fried and delicious too. My friend ordered the chili chicken dry and okra salad and they were also so so good. I especially loved the okra salad and thought it was so beautiful and well prepared, the flavors and presentation were so elevated and just amazing. The service is always phenomenal and the bartender always makes our day. Oh and also they have some of the best mango lassi in the city. Highly recommend!! 🥰

I am a new lover of Veda! After coming here with a friend over the weekend I decided to return for lunch this week. I was so happy to find out they had specials for restaurant week! The fish pakora was so good I literally wrote home to mom about it! As someone with dietary restrictions finding a place to eat can be hard, but Veda has loads of clearly labeled gluten free options. Their fish is sumptuous and flavorful. I also got the fish moylee and the sauce was so good I could swim in it! I totally enjoyed everything I had. Everything tasted very fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Apart from the food the service was wonderful. My waiter was kind and attentive at every point throughout my meal. It’s great when food tastes good and even better when service stands out. My waiter, Khemraj, was so kind and helpful I will make it a point to stop by again sometime this week when he is working. Do yourself a favor a stop by Veda. Whether you’re by yourself, on a date, or with a friend- you’ll be glad you did!

My experience here was top notch. I couldn't believe both the quality and quantity of the delicious food received here. In the photo you can see these bowls that were full of amazing flavors - rice, sauces, and the main dish were all delivered on this cool tray that surrounded my plate perfectly and was so easy to access and for the waiter to clear our tables. The food was "wow". So filling, and so tasty. I will definitely come here again should my path in life allow it.

A stunning restaurant with a great menu. We started at the bar and enjoyed the delicious spicy Margaritas, be ready for the kick! Khemraj was our friendly bartender and went through the menu and drink offerings in detail which we really enjoyed. My sister is vegetarian so she was able to find good options while I was able to try the chicken dishes. Veda is a great option to satisfy an Indian craving in center city.

Delicious food, great service with a beautiful atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for some really good Indian cuisine.
