Authentic Punjabi Restaurant

Sep 2020 • family

One of the best restaurants in the area that I’ve been to. Honestly, I am very picky with food however Guru’s never let me down. They have great staff and provides very personable service to each and every customer. You can always speak with Priya at the restaurant and she is very dependable for providing the best possible service and gourmet food to all customers. In terms of food, I honestly cannot pick and chose which one I like the best because every single recipe (specially vegetarian since I am veg) are the best and very authentic taste. PS They will make it very personable when ordering for catering for events!!!!

Excellent!

Jul 2020 • none

Had dinner with my husband and we were both very impressed wIt’s the service and food. Love good Indian food and felt this was exceptional. The service was great. We were brought a few small plates to taste that we didn’t order and were pleasantly surprised. Have only good things to say about Gurus food and service.

Guru's Indian Cuisine is the Best Indian food in the area!

Apr 2020 • none

Guru's Indian Cuisine is by far the best Indian food in the area! You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu! Everything is adjusted for your spice level preference. They are currently doing curbside pickup during the pandemic. Their chicken tikka masala and chole are out of this world!

Used to be excellent, now mediocre

Dec 2021 • family

When this place first opened, it was awesome, everything was great. After the pandemic started, the quality of the food dropped massively. Food ordered as spicy came out bland and mild and I kept on trying to give them another shot hoping that it was just a fluke but I'm done wasting my money there. It's just another overpriced mediocre Indian spot now that happens to have a great location to keep them in business. They won't get my business though, if I want mediocre indian food, ill make it myself.

Bad all around AVOID

Nov 2022 • family

Last two years we have been at Guru take out and in restaurants food and service was five star. Thinking we get the same we went for dinner completely disappointed on service and food. This is why: Promptly seated served drinks and appetizers that was only good part. For food we had to wait long time was serve lukewarm and most of them looked like came out of cans or frozen entry. All of them were watered down. Order bread basket with food never came to table until we were all finish eating dinners. No apology. During dining no one came to check if we need anything no refills on water or drink. Did not pick used dishes. Had to wait for check got surprise 20% mandatory tip. Had to find cashier to pay the bill was ask do you want to add tip. I think whole thing was messed up run by high school kids. Problem could be they have new owners or lost the chef. They do know how to bring star rating from 5 to 0. Will go again - NEVER

Inconsistent and poor quality meals that made me sick!

Oct 2023 • solo

I recently spent over $400 on my second catering order and was shocked at the horrible quality of food sent by this restaurant! Bhuna gosh had boiled bell peppers and onions floating in grey soup! Laal maas had lamb instead of goat! Saag was labeled "saagwala sauce" which is likely the base used for all saag entrees but mine was not finished with oil/garnish instead had chunks of broccoli stem. Kashmiri pulao was smelly (my dogs who love eating occasional rice turned up their nose! Naan was undercooked (transparent uncooked dough in center) and looked like store bought pita. Mango lassi turned rancid the next morning, despite storing the milk gallon bottle in refrigerator (I'm unsure if it was meant to be air sealed but mine wasn't). When I called the restaurant, I was told that she had left for the night and was leaving for India soon but was a $50 credit which I did not accept. By next morning, I realized fully the extent of wastage. After multiple trips to the loo after waiting another day to hear back, I followed up only for more notes taken and no follow up response. During a third attempt, I was asked to wait until mid No to speak with the owner and send an email with photos. Having recently moved into the community and wanting to support local, family owned businesses, I was being patient for a week but having not received any acknowledgement nor apology from the family, let alone a restaurant credit or re-imbursement, I am not convinced this business cares about quality, service, reputation or community- especially since they seem to project such image. Knowing that reputations takes years to build and minutes to lose, I hesitated from writing a bad review but this has been my experience.

Great Food Nice Atmosphere

Sep 2022 • none

Brought some friends from out of town on Saturday night This was their 1st time at the restaurant. Fresh new menu made it easy to identify vegetarian or gluten free dishes. There were new "craft cocktails" as well, I ordered a "future fashioned" what was the best take on an old fashioned cocktail I had ever had, it was served with a crystal ball on top!! My friends were very impressed. They are regulars of Tiffin, an Indian restaurant local to them in Philadelphia. They couldn't believe we have a better Indian restaurant right here in Newtown. This was really a great experience. Guru's continues to raise the bar each time I visit. Give them a try and they will quickly become one of your favorite restaurants

Good Indian spot

Apr 2021 • solo

Fairly solid Indian spot in newtown. Spice, in terms of flavors, can be a bit on the bland side, but still at least above average in my experience. Prices are higher than warranted, but that’s to be expected in newtown. I will say Guru’s keeps things fresh and innovative on the menu, with good picks like avocado samosas!

The food was good. The service okay. You have to ask for a straw, if it matters to you that drinks are served holding the glass in a way that rim is touched. Tables are very small. We were 4 people, the table had maybe room for 2. There was barely any ambiance. Mostly white walls, plain tables. McDonalds is better decorated. We were disappointed, but the restaurant was surprisingly well visited.

Great food and exceptional service

Oct 2024 • family

I have been a patron for over 5 years, almost from their opening on Cambridge Street. I was so happy they were able to secure a larger location in Newtown. The food and service has ALWAYS been excellent. I love how they change things up a bit with special seasonal items, the buffet and other events (like Diwali). Whether takeout or dining in, I have a consistent experience which is what I look for in a restaurant. Highly recommend.

This is an outstanding, authentic, experience!

Feb 2020 • none

I have eaten in high end and some not so high end Indian restaurants. This rivals the best Indian meals anywhere in the Country, including NYC. The food is amazing (be sure you specify the spice level...), the service is friendly and on point. the restaurant is made up of different rooms allowing for privacy and reduced noise levels. It is also reasonably priced. Neat experience for someone who has never tried Indian food. Great date spot

Avocado Chat and lots of delicious appetizers

Sep 2020 • family

Overall Value: Been there few times. Will go back again. Service: Spotty. Some servers are very good. Some need more training and motivation. Food: Excellent. Avocado Chat, we have it every time. Lots of variety, all tempting. Many other appetizers are cool too. Surprisingly, their Dal Tadka was a disappointment; twice. Portions: Average. Beers: Good choices. Ambiance: Patio on this new location is nice.
