Tiffin Ect



Tiffin quietly expanded their menu a few weeks ago. This excellent Indian take out spot added a few new item, the most exciting being an arsenal of Indian inspired pizzas. Rachel and I ordered a few pies last night to try out the new offerings.
The first pizza was topped with tandoori chicken, crushed red peppers and mozzarella. After a few bites, the spices and heat really kick in. This is a great pie. But I liked the second one even more. It was topped with grilled lamb and little cherry tomatoes. Again, the subtle spices on the meat really make this pizza shine.
We also ordered two stuffed parathas. It's like a gourmet pancake filled with different vegetables. Although these were decent, they paled next to the pizza. The only other part of the new menu includes wraps, and these don't seem too exciting.

The pizzas are excellent, and with six different options, there's bound to be one to please almost everyone. We ordered more than a enough food and the total was $17 for the two of us. Seriously? These pizzas are awesome and $5? You have no reason to avoid Tiffin's new pizza.

The worst part about all of this new stuff is finding the menu. Tiffin is great at Indian food, terrible at web design. Go on a scavenger hunt on their page to find the pizzas, or use this direct link for the menu :http://media.philly.com/documents/ETCMenu+v33-2.pdf.
