Amma's South Indian Cuisine Now Open In Newtown

NEWTOWN, PA — The wait is over. Amma's South Indian Cuisine has opened its doors at Goodnoe Corner, 280 North Sycamore Street, Newtown.

“We’re excited to welcome you to our newest Amma’s South Indian Cuisine location in the heart of Newtown,” said the restaurant's announcement on Facebook. "Thank you for your patience and continued support throughout this journey."

The restaurant owners invite diners to try their South Indian menu, featuring "authentic South Indian flavors and all your favorite dishes made fresh with love.

"Bring your family and friends, and come celebrate this special milestone with us. Your love and support have made this possible, and we can’t wait to serve our Newtown community!”

Amma’s South India Cuisine has built a large following and a reputation for good food at its locations in University City and Center City in Philadelphia and in Voorhees, Mount Laurel, and Maple Shade, New Jersey.

“Here at Amma’s we bring a part of India to you through a rich and selective variety of food,” says its website. “Our tailor-made menu is created to suit the palates of all our customers and will also give them an authentic taste of some of India’s most popular regional dishes.”

Amma’s menu features innovative dishes based on centuries-old South Indian culinary traditions. The chefs use fresh produce, all-natural ingredients, and freshly ground spices, to create food that is like veetu sapadu (homemade).

This is Amma's first restaurant in Bucks County and the first in the Pennsylvania suburbs. The restaurant also has locations in Voorhees, Maple Shade, and Mount Laurel, New Jersey, and in University City and Center City in Philadelphia.

The restaurant owners received conditional use approval from the Newtown Township Board of Supervisors two years ago to open a 72-seat restaurant at the former Zoës Kitchen on North Sycamore Street.

The space, which has been vacant since Zoës closed its doors in February 2023, has been renovated into the township’s newest dining experience, where the spicy foods of South India will be featured.

Newtown has been without an Indian restaurant since Guru’s closed its doors at the end of December.
