Cross Culture Indian Restaurant Now Open In Newtown

NEWTOWN, PA — Good news for fans of Indian cuisine: Cross Culture, an Indian restaurant with three other Bucks County locations, is now open in Newtown. The restaurant opened Wednesday, Dec. 12.

Cross Culture, which has locations in Doylestown, Buckingham, New Hope and Princeton, is located in the Village at Newtown South Shopping Center. It serves up cuisine from Northern India, taking over the spot that formerly housed International Noodles (near Great Clips).

Monty Kainth, Cross Culture's founder and executive chef, said the Newtown restaurant will offer a similar menu to that of the other locations. "The menu is focused on Northern Indian Style of cooking highlighting the specialties from the traditional clay oven — tandoor and wide selection of various curries and kormas with varying degrees of spices," Kainth said.

Cross Culture's first Bucks County location was in downtown Doylestown. It has since expanded to Buckingham, and also operates at the Ferry Market in New Hope.

The restaurant consistently receives accolades and glowing reviews from both the public and the press. In 2013, a New York Times food critic called the food "very good" and noted it was prepared with "delicacy."

"Breads — naan, onion kulcha and puri — from the basket I ordered were as good as I have had, each discretely flavored. Raita was house-made, a pleasantly thick yogurt rich with grated cucumber, grated carrot and mint, unlike the runny versions served elsewhere," New York Times restaurant reviewer Karla Cook wrote.

Hours of the Newtown restaurant are: Tuesday - Sunday 11:30 to 9 pm, closed Monday. The address is 124 South Eagle Road, Newtown.
