J-Town Market & Eatery Opens In Jenkintown

ABINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA —J-Town Market & Eatery is now in business.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Jenkintown Food Cupboard said that the owners of Lilly's Authentic Cuisine and King's Corner have converted the former Argana Tree Restaurant into the J-Town Market & Eatery.

The grand opening of this "friendly neighborhood food market" with Lilly's delicious food for takeout was Tuesday.

The market is located at 620 Greenwood Ave. in Jenkintown, and check it out.

Lilly’s was created as a legacy for the woman it is named after, the eatery's website states.

Lilly’s was established in 2020 with the goal of bringing a taste of Indian culture and cuisine to the community. Since then, it has been a staple in Indian cuisine, drawing loyal customers from surrounding neighborhoods in and around Jenkintown.

"My mother Lilly Kutty Thomas. She was one who cooked with passion and lived to see the joy it brought to people. We have put that same passion into every aspect of this restaurant. Welcome to Lilly’s," owner Jiji Thomas said. "Our gratitude and appreciation for the continued support we have experienced from the local community is matched only by our avid desire to continue to hold to that founding mission: providing quality cuisine, exceptional service and to make my mother proud."

Jenkintown Food Cupboard said there's even a Pay it Forward Board to encourage kindness.
