This establishment is phenomenal. Consistently delivers on kind, professional service and outstandingly delicious food. It is the best Indian cuisine in the Lehigh Valley. Had the chicken curry, madras chicken, butter naan, and basmati rice. Always enough to take some home to enjoy the next day. Thank you for all that you do! Cheers!

Just great from start to finish. Everyone from the hostesses to the servers were very friendly and professional, not staying too long at the table but always available. After we were seated, the moment the hostess finished explaining things to us, a gentleman was there ready to serve us the first round of meat. It was immediately the best piece of steak I've had from a restaurant in years. All the sides were great, the meat was incredible. I ate so fast we were out the door exactly 1 hour after we were seated and never felt rushed. Highly recommend to anyone.

We had a phenomenal experience at Grille 3501! We arrived early for our reservations and were seated right away despite the restaurant appearing full & bustling. We commuted 40 minutes from Albrightsville for a change of pace during our week-long stay in the Poconos / Jim Thorpe area. A table of foodies (including a caterer & former restaurant owner) found Grille 3501 to be the best meal of the trip. Every appetizer, cocktail, beer, entree, dessert, and wine choice rendered us a chorus of “oohs” and “ahhs”.” The meal inspired our own cross-cultural cuisine experimentation upon our return home. The service was friendly, quick, and provided stellar recommendations and guidance. Our table was tucked into a corner of the restaurant without much to see, however, the main dining room was lovely. Stop reading reviews and go there, seriously!

The food was all very good and everything tasted so good. The view if the mountains was very nice. The server was very professional. We were there to celebrate my 24 year old twin son’s birthday and they enjoyed it very much. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
