"We walked in with no one to greet, an almost empty place with one customer eating food. We waited to be seated (as per the sign) no one came for next 5 7 minutes. So we just sat at a table. A girl passed by who seemed to be the employee, we got it confirmed that it was open. More wait to receive the menu. We started to order, and were told you can’t order certain items (pretty much every item we wanted) . We asked for menu that had items that were actually being offered. We were given a different menu card. We ordered two different dosas. For next 30 40 minutes no one showed up. Finally mine of us walked up to the kitchen and asked if we were ever going to get served, the chef (who didn’t speak any English showed us the ready to serve plates indicating there was no one to bring them out) Finally the waiter brought those out. Both Dosas were cold, limp and soggy by now. But more disappointing was the taste!!! OMG! So very salty and absolute zero on authenticity!! Mysore Masala Dosa had readymade Lasoon chutney on it as a replacement for “Podi” and Madras masala Dosa had “sambal“ as a replacement to onion chutney! It was sheer salt and Vinegar medley!! What a waste! The accompaniments like Sambar and chutneys were equally disappointing if not more. In all a complete disappointment No service, Bad taste and cold food. Never going back there again."

"How do I start to review this establishment? We have never before made reservation via Open Table to a place that literally didn't know how to run their restaurant. We showed up to an empty restaurant with no one greeting us at all. After a short time, someone finally came up to greet us but didn't know anything about checking in with Open Table reservation. After a lengthy explanation, he still didn't understand what we wanted them to do. It was obvious that he doesn't even know what Open Table is. We gave up trying to get our reservation checked in. I truly think that there was a language barrier. Aside from the empty place, we do agree that the food was delicious. The same gentleman who greeted us was our waiter as well. It took awhile before he even came out to take our order and equally as long before our food came out. By this time, we were SO frustrated to even try to enjoy our food. After taking the first bite, we were surprised that it was very delicious and packed with flavor. The whole time we were dining, no one came by to check on us. The mango lassi came half way during our meal. I believe he told me that they didn't have any to begin with. At that point, I asked how can an India restaurant not have mango lassi. He must have noticed that I was bummed out and must have went out to get a batch from somewhere. Again, we waited a long time before the waiter came and gave us our bill. So, to sum this up, empty restaurant, need trained personnel and management on how to run a restaurant and finally, be prepared to wait. The plus side is the food was good. Needless to say, we will not be back!"

"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!"
