Aman’s Indian Bistro (277 Schuylkill Road) is now open for business at their new Phoenixville location (their Chalfont location was voted a "Top Rated Restaurant 2012" by Restaurant.com). It will be the only place in the 'ville serving Indian cuisine, and our first impression of the new location is very positive.
At Aman’s you have the option of a full dinner menu after 5Pm, ordering online during normal business hours, or you can experience the joy known as the lunch buffet (as we did) from 11:30 TO 2:30 Mon - Fri (or noon to 3, on Sat and Sun). The cost is only $10.95 and the selection is vast... From your standard Indian buffet offerings of Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken, Samosa, Saag, Curry, etc. to the rarer items, each dish tastes freshly prepared as if it was served as your main dinner entree. The best part is, since it's a buffet, you can sample many of these delicious entrees.

On this day, there were a few interesting standouts...
Navratan Korma: A Mughlai dish that gets its name (meaning nine gems) from the nine different veggies, fruit and nuts used in it. Served with hot Naan bread, it's an awesome addition to an already plentiful offering.
Goat Rogan Josh: A staple of Kashmiri cuisine this dish consists of braised goat chunks cooked in a gravy of browned onions, yogurt, garlic, ginger and aromatic spices (cloves, bay leaves, cardamom and cinnamon). If you're not used to seeing goat on a buffet, don't worry... It's excellent and well worth a try.
Mulligatawny Soup: A fresh vegetable and lentil soup with herbs. Velvet smooth and silky delicious!
Gajar Halwa: A sweet dessert pudding of grated carrot cooked with water, milk, and sugar. Simple formula, complex flavor.
We're stoked to have Aman’s Indian Bistro in Phoenixville, and even more stoked to go back to try dinner. All told, the lunch buffet is an excellent value for anyone looking to get their Indian fix or for those looking to expand their culinary horizons with a high quality selection and preparation...
