"However, the dining experience inside is quite disappointing. It feels like I'm eating in a break room at a workplace, which gives off a rather neglected vibe. If you choose to order for pickup, be prepared to wait—my food has taken as long as 45 minutes, usually around an hour. Even when I ordered on a Wednesday afternoon at around 4 PM, when they weren't busy, it still took that long. The service is... okay. It's not terrible, but the wait times and quality consistency are concerning. I still order from here occasionally, but it's more of a rare treat. The food is good, but they really need more staff, improved service, a complete interior renovation, and faster food preparation times. Ideally, they should aim for an average of 15-25 minutes, but I've seen it take 40-45 minutes during peak times on Fridays and Saturdays. Waiting 45 minutes for one dish as a single diner feels excessive. I've personally experienced waits of over an hour when I've been their only dine-in customer. While I haven't faced the 90-minute to 2-hour wait times mentioned in other reviews, I can see how that might happen for larger takeout orders. I do recommend trying them— the food is definitely tasty—but there are other options nearby. If you have a car, restaurants like Utsav, Godavari, Dhaba Whala, and Kumar's are all within a 15-minute drive, and their takeaway orders generally take no longer than 30-35 minutes, even on busy nights."

"While staying in the Pittsburgh area a lot over the past year, I've been trying many different places... I love really good Pakistani food, and am not nearly as fond of Indian food, but I came here one night for dinner and absolutely appreciated the owner's service, as well as the food they make here! I tried several things: Vegetable Pakora These unfortunately were sent back because they were slightly over done, but they apologized sincerely for that and removed them from the bill. Vegetable Biryanni Absolutely Excellent! Nice and spicy and loaded with robust, authentic flavors!! This paired with their raita was amazing!!! And wow, was it spicy!! Keema Muttar This was decent, but was a little saucier than I prefer (and than I'm used to). The flavors were excellent! The meat was lamb and there was the slight flavor of that. But overall, it was a decent dish. Bullet Naan I've never heard of this, so I had to try it, especially since it's made with green pepper and supposedly spicy. It was definitely spicy, but their naan was very thin. I actually prefer it thin, so I don't get filled up on bread. The only issues I've got is I eat in the traditional way, with my hands and in order to do so, you fold the naan or roti in half and then break off a piece Well, many of these places cut it into quarters which limits ow you can break off pieces. The other huge gripe I have is that they add ghee or butter to it, thus making it a greasy mess. Aside from those issues, it tasted great. Roti This resembled the bullet naan, but without spices, but with so much greasiness, the last slice was completely soaked and oily. The flavor was decent though. Lastly, He offered me mango lassi and I've not had lassi in probably 35 years, when I was last in Pakistan.... This lassi was very tasty and you could see and taste the fresh mango in it. Overall, this is my favorite Indian restaurant in the Pittsburgh area so far... I've tried several, but they do it the most authentic and best here. I'd definitely suggest it for those seeking some really good, authentic flavors. I'll be back!"

"Came here recently (June) for the first time. I'm not Indian nor Pakistani but am no stranger to this block or Indian food. I worked corporate for many years two blocks away on JFK Blvd and in Manhattan by Lexington and the 30's. I eat Indian often and not just what's popular with the masses of non Indians. However, this time, did order a popular dish Chicken Tikka (not Masala) with cabbage and Onion Naan.The Good: (a) chicken portions were very generous with large chunks of boneless meat, a good lemon wedge (b) this may have been the most tender, most buttery textured chicken I've ever had (c) the onion Naan was steaming hot, flavorful and falling apart with little effort as it should be. This was the best part of my lunch (d) prices were reasonable compared to the many surrounding restaurantsm (e) the counter man and chef who brought me my takeout were both well mannered and wore friendly smiles.The Bad: (a) this place claimed that their air conditioner was broken. It was probably 95 100 degrees inside and the air plenty stale unbearable. Not a single fan in sight for temporary relief. The man behind the counter was drenched in sweat and constantly wiping his head. The tables were empty (at peak lunch hour) save for one couple and their two kids. I can't imagine they were comfortable whilst dining (b) I love curry and I like moderate heat/spice. But this was the most firey dish I've ever eaten. My mouth was in pain from so many scovilles. I could barely finish it and had to sooth my tongue with Naan between every bite of chicken. The green chutney sauce on the side was tasty and had a good thick consistency but also was way too fire (not a good fire) (c) shredded cabbage was also included but barely enough to register as a side. It couldn't even be tasted over the burning hellish fire that was the chicken.Unless they make some improvements, I'd recommend trying one of the many other places next ddor."
