32 Best Indian Restaurants in Pittsburgh

“I love the amount of real spices they use in their curries. I can tell that the restaurant has a great quality of food. I am very sensitive to (hot) spices, but I want to enjoy the flavors of Indian food. If I ask for a 0 the spice level feels too hot for me. Last time I came, I asked for them to adjust the spice level to be milder than 0. They were able to reduce the heat in the dish to levels I could handle without reducing the flavor. I have not dined in at this restaurant, but enjoy the ambience of the place. It is clean and the decor is eye catching.“

“Clean ,friendly and delicious.“

“Absolutely phenomenal service, The food quality is out of this world and the prices are absolutely exquisite whenever you take that into account. I took my Australian friend here because he was vegetarian for 12 years and is very familiar with Indian cuisine and he said that it was one of the best Indian restaurants he's ever been to. To mention they are all extremely friendly staff wise and Very clean as well. Turns out they are adding a supermarket next door and I think that that is just awesome. You can get a taste of Indian cuisine decide if you love it or not which you will. Then make some at home yourself. Over all 5 stars welcome again 10 out of 10 recommend.“

“Wow! Loved the authentic food“

“the food is pretty good... but the service is Horrible!! Super slow... no smiles or greetings if you're not Indian. One guy waits on the whole dining room is completely rude and non-verbal... I decided to order to-go last night instead of being ignored in the dining room again and they said 40 minutes... I waited an hour and a half for it! the guy tried to put a Diet Coke for free instead of an apology... I dont even drink Diet Coke. The food is fine but they dont care about the customers at all!“

“Incredible and authentic chaat! My husband was born and raised in India and we have always said that we wished there was somewhere in Pittsburgh that just sold chaat and snack items. We were blown away by the pani puri and the Bombay sev sandwich. The restaurant gives you a proper Indian dhaba feel. Will definitely be back and will recommend to our friends!“

“My wife and I went her because we are tired of the usual restaurants in the area. It was totally worth it! The food is great, the service feels personal and we felt more like guests than customers. 5/5 star and definitely going to be one of our regular spots.“

“Excellent food! I’ve been a fan for many years!“

“Love their food!“

“Happened to be in the area to visit a plant nursery near by and realized we were starving for some lunch and found this spot. I had the rose milk, which was velvety, light sweet and floral, and overall delicious. For my entree I had the veggie thali and garlic nan. The paneer is made in-house and the quality and taste is exceptional. The service was amazing and fast. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming and the atmosphere was so cozy. Highly recommend! We will be back to work our way through the whole menu.“

“Excellent food, great service.“

“Excellent food! I’ve been a fan for many years!“

“Great food and good portions. I’ve never had palak paneer with tomato curry before but it was really good. Just what I needed on this dreary Pittsburgh day. Also they had a sign on the truck apologizing for raising their prices. Idk what that’s about because I got a large entree (curry, rice, and naan) and a drink for less than $10 and the food is gonna last me another meal.“

“good food good service good prices“

“Anyone who knows me, knows I love supporting small local businesses. The food was outstanding, but I was surprised at the plastic flatware/napkin in a sealed plastic bag and not real stainless steel flatware. Prices were inline with other Indian restaurants I have been to. Unfortunately, it's street parking in an already crowded street because of apartments. Would I recommend? Absolutely. Would I go back in the future? You bet I would!“

“We recently dined at this Indian restaurant, and it truly felt like being transported straight back to Hyderabad. Every dish we ordered Lamb Shank, Chicken 65, Zeera Rice, and Dal Fried was bursting with authentic flavors.
The spices, aroma, and tenderness of the meat were absolutely perfect. It’s rare to find food in Pittsburgh city that tastes this close to home.
The service was exceptional warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. The staff made the entire experience feel special.
The ambiance was awesome, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed, flavorful meal.
If you’re craving real Indian flavors, especially Hyderabadi-style dishes, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended.“

“In our recent visit to Pittsburgh, we thought to try Choolaah and it was really nice. The ambience and staff were very welcoming. Particularly Carlos, took time to explain the menu and ordering details. We tried Naan wrap, Butter chicken bowl, Pav bhaji and mango lassi. We really enjoyed our meal and everything tasted fresh and delicious. We will definitely visit again soon to try other menu items.“

“I’ve been here several times and it’s always delicious. I always get the same waiter and he’s super friendly & helps me make a meal choice !“

“Mintt Indian Cuisine is simply amazing. The food quality is consistently excellent. Loved the variety of options available. Service was smooth and friendly. Great place for families and friends.“

“Papu provides the best service! 5/5 Complimentary Chai and Chile cheese naan (new menu item) is excellent!“

“Route 51 Restaurant is a little slice of Heaven. If you like Indian/Nepali food, go there. Everything was excellent. Best Masala Tea ever. We had Steamed Veggie Momo (so good), Chicken Tikka Masala, and the Tandoori Chicken. Will will most certainly be back!“

“Great food. Large portions. Good variety of dishes.“

“Authentic Pakistani food, reminds me of Food Street Lahore.“

“I took my husband to Salem’s for lunch for his first time. He spent a year in Syria and has missed the country, culture, and food ever since. He said the naan, hummus, and shawarma tasted just like it did in Syria. Then he asked if I can bring some home every week.“
