As my friend John Mallinen put it, "I'm just way into the idea that I can eat bomb-ass Indian food without even leaving my house." And here it is: Ekta is the new king of 19125 delivery Indian food. This new joint opened recently on Girard Ave and only a few blocks from Tiffin. And I've heard that a few people from Tiffin left and started Ekta, but I'm not sure, and it doesn't really matter.
Ekta has a good variety of veg options. Overall, it has standard, but great Indian options. Lentils, Paneer, lamb, and chicken are served with fresh vegetables in various curries. Best of al, each dish is made to order. The main downside of Ekta is that it has no atmosphere. Two small tables are crammed into the front of the kitchen, leaving almost no room to eat at the restaurant.
Here's the bottom line: Ekta offers fresh, healthy, delicious Indian food, and it's cheaper than Tiffin. The main dishes are just as good, if not better. There is no reason, however, to eat at the restaurant. If you're trying to go out for Indian food, Tiffin should be your option. Still, be lazy, order Ekta delivery, and enjoy the goodness from your own couch.
