So it's in the burbs but we've got a lot of Indian restaurants out here in Malvern/Exton... There's a new place opening March 30 that says it will be open at 9 am on weekends - Masala Leaf. I'll be checking it out! https://www.masalaleafindiancuisine.com/

Oh, thanks for this! I’m trying to figure out where this will be exactly. Is it near the mall/off of 100? Isn’t there another dosa place in the shopping center with Han Dynasty?

Me too actually. I'll poke around and find out. There is a dosa place in the Han Dynasty shopping center - Indian Hut & Hot Breads but this isn't it. If you do find yourself near that shopping center, make sure to check out Damas Mediterranean Grill. It's a great Lebanese shawarma place. Their muhammara is my fav ever and they make better babaganoush than Suraya IMO.

I do gig work in that area so I’m there often. Thanks for the shawarma suggestion. There’s another great Lebanese place in Malvern called Cafe Baladi. Excellent falafel. They use a spice I can’t put my finger on. It’s really subtle and reminds me of cardamom but slightly different.

So it is near the mall/ rt 100 exit but current address looks like a warehouse off the main road a bit, where aparrently there is also an Indian farmers market. I hope they are successful because their menu looks amazing and unlike any of the other Indian restaurants in the area, none of whom serve breakfast. Thank you for asking about this, it sent me on a mini quest and now I have a new place to try in April!

I’m gonna have to investigate where it is exactly because, yeah, the menu looks super intriguing. Thank you for linking to it in the first place!

Happy to help! As of now per google it looks like it's in the warehouse area across the road from Riccardi Bros paints and next(ish) to Exton Beverage.

And thanks for the rec in Malvern. Always on the hunt for good falafel

Ooo awesome! My parents are out that way and I was so upset when Devi closed since we used to go all the time. This place looks great.

Same! I hope it's good 🤞FYI Manam's Bistro in Thorndale recently opened. I think they're still takeout only with plans for opening dining soon. It's super solid with awesome weekend specials for when you're out this way!
