Feeling so grateful today! 💖 We just had to share the sweetest story about Aparna, this adorable girl who wanted nothing but Chicken Biryani from Lilly’s for her birthday. Her family lives about an hour away from us, but they tried our food at a friend’s house and since then, they’ve been hooked! They’ve ordered our Biryani and other South Indian dishes multiple times, just to enjoy the flavors they love.

It truly warms our hearts to see people go the distance to savor our food! 🌟 Our Chef Shijith personally wrote a special ‘Happy Birthday’ note for Aparna, and she was all smiles throughout her celebration. 🎉😊

Thank you, Aparna! If you want to make your event memorable with authentic Indian cuisine, call us at 215-277-5414 to place your order. We can’t wait to serve you! 🍽️✨💜

🤗Wrap yourself in warmth and comfort at Lilly’s on a drizzly day like today! The wind is howling, the rain is pouring, and the crisp air is asking for a nourishing bowl of goodness. That’s where our signature Muligatawny Shorba comes in - a soothing Lentil Soup that is just what the doctor ordered.🙌

❤️Made with love and care using yellow lentils, a blend of traditional herbs and spices, this soup is a digestive dream come true. It’s also a natural remedy for cold and cough symptoms, leaving you feeling cozy and revitalized.🙏

Enjoy our Muligatawny Shorba on its own, or add a side of fluffy Basmati rice to make it a satisfying meal. Whatever you choose, we’ve got you covered!✨

One of our classic Indian desserts, Ras Malai, on our Dessert menu gets a lot of love! Imagine soft, spongy cheese patties soaked in a creamy milk syrup flavored with cardamom, garnished with ground pistachios (optional) and dried rose petals, evoking the flavors of Kolkata.

This dessert is an absolute classic in Bengal, the Eastern part of India, and the name is combined of two words - Ras, meaning Juice, and Malai, meaning Cream. It is the perfect cooling end to a warm (or a hot) meal, and is a far healthier, tastier, pick than a regular ice cream.

If you haven’t tried it, do it when you visit us next. ✨😍🙏🫶

🌟 We are honored to have supported this incredible event for Kadha, a tale that sheds light on the struggles of Malayali immigrants in the 1960s and 1970s that migrated to the States.

🫶At Lilly’s, we believe that our roots are what make us strong, and we’re proud to say that Kerala, the beautiful state where Lilly’s heart belongs, is the driving force behind everything we do. And so, we jumped at the opportunity to sponsor the cocktail hour at the Kadha gala, where we got to serve our community with love and care. ✨🙌

We were truly humbled to offer off-menu Kerala classic appetizers to almost 200 people at the event, and the love we received was overwhelming. Thank you, for the amazing work you are doing.🙏❤️

Not everything on our menu is about heat… sometimes it’s all about that bold, tangy kick 💥

Our Achar is a traditional Indian mixed pickle made with fruits and vegetables that are cured with spices, oil, and time. It’s bright, punchy, a little salty, a little sour, and packed with flavor in every bite.

This isn’t something you eat on its own like a main dish. Achar is meant to be enjoyed as a side. A little scoop goes a long way. Pair it with rice, dal, curries, or even wrap it into a bite of naan to instantly elevate your meal. It cuts through richness and adds that perfect pop of flavor.

If you’ve never tried it before, this is your sign 👀
