Srinagar Indian Cuisine
Kashmiri and North Indian cooking on N Essex Ave, named for Kashmir's summer capital. Come for the rogan josh, the biryani, and a genuinely deep vegetarian half of the menu.
Montgomery County
Narberth
The one town in Lower Merion Township that actually voted itself independent — Ardmore and Bryn Mawr considered it too and voted no. The whole downtown fits into a five-minute walk: a 1927 movie house still running first-run films and a Fourth of July parade that hasn't missed a year since 1942.
$725K ~25 min Lower Merion

Eat
A La Mousse
A French patisserie on Montgomery Ave, big on mousse cakes and macarons, with a glass case worth a look before you order. Good for a birthday cake or an afternoon that needs pastry.
Narberth Scoops
A teen-owned popup in downtown Narberth, scooping Bassett's and nothing else into cones, sundaes, and floats. It only runs when the Lower Merion High kids are out for summer, so check their Instagram before you walk over.
Pholosophy
Pho and Vietnamese plates on Haverford Ave, with a name that earns the groan. Big steaming bowls, banh mi, and rice plates for a cold Narberth afternoon.
Ryan Christopher's BYOB
American plates in a small BYOB on Woodbine Ave. Bring a bottle; it's a birthday-and-anniversary regular for a lot of Narberth.
Real Pizza Narberth
Corner pizza shop on N Narberth Ave doing slices, pies, and the standard red-sauce lineup. The reliable call when you don't feel like cooking.
Drink
Great American Pub
Narberth's corner pub right by the train station, with a long beer list and a burger to match. Loud on game nights, easy on a weekday.
Shop local
Narberth Bookshop
The independent bookshop on Haverford Ave, small and tightly curated by staff who actually read what they shelve. Easy place to lose twenty minutes on the way to somewhere else.
Spot's the Place For Paws
The neighborhood pet shop on Forrest Ave, stocked with food, treats, and supplies for the dog or cat back home. Family-run, and the kind of place that learns your pup's name fast.
Danny's Guitar Shop
Guitar sales, lessons, and repairs on Forrest Avenue since 2009, with new, used, and vintage gear from Fender to Danelectro. Trades and consignments welcome.
Bruce McKittrick Rare Books, Inc.
Antiquarian bookseller on Sabine Ave dealing in rare and early printed books. Serious collector territory, not a browse-the-bargain-bin kind of shop.
Wardrobe Narberth
A women's clothing boutique on Haverford Ave with small-batch labels and pieces you won't see on everyone else at school drop-off. The kind of shop where the owner remembers what you bought last time.
Amaranth Florist
Narberth Avenue flower studio, best when you order designer's choice and let them pick the varieties, the palette, and the container. There's a flower-subscription club, too, if you want the arrangements to keep coming.
Things to do
Rolling Hill Park
A 103-acre township nature park in Gladwyne with hiking and equestrian trails. It is the park Narberth people drive to when the borough starts to feel small.
Cynwyd Heritage Trail
A 2-mile multi-use trail running from Cynwyd Station to the Manayunk Viaduct along an unused stretch of SEPTA's R-6 tracks, with separate paved and soft-surface paths. Three trailheads, and leashed dogs are welcome (8-foot leash max).
Sabine Park
A small, wooded neighborhood park in Narberth, quiet and kept up by the Friends of Sabine Park. The kind of green pocket you walk to, not drive to.
REEL CINEMAS NARBERTH STADIUM 2
Narberth's own two-screen movie house on Narberth Avenue, first-run films a short walk from dinner. The neighborhood answer to a multiplex parking lot.
The Pottery Corner
A paint-your-own-pottery studio on Haverford Ave where you pick a blank mug or bowl and make an afternoon of it. Kids' birthday standby, and a decent rainy-day plan for the rest of us.
Merion Botanical Park
A 13.5-acre township nature park on Merion Road, a few minutes from downtown Narberth. Quieter than Narberth Park on a Saturday.
Good questions
What is Narberth known for?
The Main Line’s pocket borough: a 25-minute train, a downtown you can cross in five, and a playground with its own fan base. Everything small except the price.
What is there to do in Narberth, PA?
Start with Narberth Dickens Festival, Narberth Playground, and Narbrook Park. On the books in Narberth right now: 14 things to do, 207 upcoming events, and 20 places to shop, all kept current.
Where should you eat in Narberth?
There are 19 places to eat on our Narberth list, and you can browse all of them by tag. For the short answer, start with The Best Restaurants in Narberth: our picks, each with the reason it made the cut.
How far is Narberth from Philadelphia?
About 15 minutes by car, off-peak. By rail, Narberth station on SEPTA's Paoli/Thorndale Line reaches Center City in about 25 minutes. One of the shortest rides in the guide, from a borough small enough to walk end to end.
Is Narberth walkable?
Yes. The center of Narberth is built for it, and most of what we list sits within a few blocks. We score its main-street walk 4.5 out of 5; the Narberth scouting report shows how that compares to the other towns.
What county is Narberth, PA in?
Narberth is in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Nearby Montgomery County towns we cover: North Wales, Ambler, and Collegeville.
Is Narberth a good place to live?
That depends on what you want out here, so we keep a full Narberth scouting report for exactly this question. The quick numbers: a typical home runs about $725K, schools are Lower Merion School District, and 4,492 people call the borough home.
