We ordered Sweet Corn Soup, which was rich, sweet, and savory. Bits of chicken really deepened the flavor. The Lentil Soup was more delicate, vegetarian (I think) and lighter bodied. I liked both, but LOVED the Sweet Corn Soup. The Paneer Kulcha was a delicious flat bread with a mild cheese center. I'd been to many Indian restaurants and don't recall ever seeing it before. So glad we tried it. Our entrees were the Lamb Rogan Josh and Lamb Chettinadu. Both were thick, saucy, and delicious served with Basmati Rice. My husband ordered the former and had it made extra spicy. We enjoyed both. Lastly, I had the Salt Lassi, one of my favorite yogurt drinks. My husband had South Indian Buttermilk on a dare (mine) and we loved both. The South Indian Buttermilk had an interesting spiced flavor and mint. The milk beverages always seem to make my tummy happy, especially when I indulge in spicy foods. I would encourage you to go if you like Indian foods. Many regional cuisines are represented. We will return!

The chicken…read morepanang curry was very flavorful but I found the 5/10 to be too spicy (our butter chicken was a 5/10 too and was fine).

Garlic naan was perfect.

I stopped in for lunch with my wife on a weekday, and overall we enjoyed our meal. However, there…read moreis some room for improvement. Let me start by saying that the food was of the highest quality, and everything was delicious. The place was also very clean. That said, the place was completely empty. When we walked in there was nobody around, and because of the various TVs playing music and sports nobody heard us come in. We stood for several minutes and were about to leave when a guy popped out of the kitchen and looked surprised that we were there. He got us seated and watered quickly after this. Service throughout was pretty bad, with dude number 1 and our server more concerned with their phones and the cricket match. There was a bit of a language barrier too, but we worked through that. Anyway, we started with samosas, and they were pretty good. I then ordered the Chicken Vindaloo and my wife had some kind of shrimp curry thing. We also ordered naan, which didn't arrive until the middle of the meal. Again, everything was very tasty, but the service was a bit frustrating. I also want to point out that this is not a buffet, and that the menu is expert level. By that I mean that there are no descriptions or images of the dishes. It's just a list - chicken tiki, chicken vindaloo, etc. - and if you don't know a lot about Indian food you're going to be using Google a lot. Anyway, I will probably give these guys another try because the food was legit. Hopefully they will work out their service issues and maybe enhance their menu to better suit the market that they are in.

I gave one more star, but it was still not the greatest experience. For one, I was still given a dish made with canned green beans. Granted, it had some spices, but still came from a can (also it was not very hot, it was very cool). Other cups of the food were not very hot either. No sweet was provided on my Thali, so I had some Jalebi at home. Thali should always include a sweet and Achar (pickle). Also, the young woman wanted to charge me the weekend Thali price ($16.99) but thankfully the honest gentleman gave me the correct price for weekday, $14.99. I did like the Gongura Chicken the best. The Chicken Tikka, and Mushroom were good too. The Rajma Dal was just O.K. I will repeat, all of the Thali dishes need to be hotter as most were served barely warm. The Naan was good. Namaste Dosto! P.S. there is no air conditioning here. If it is a warm day, it will be warm inside the restaurant.

this is a long overdue review for my favorite indian restaurant in the city (and possibly my…read morefavorite restaurant of all). i eat here almost every week, but keep forgetting to leave a rating. time to fix that :) bombay to burgh is an amazing restaurant. it's always delicious, with food that tastes fresh and perfectly balanced. as a fan of indian food, i love how the menu isn't stuck on the classic dishes that you find in every indian restaurant in the US. sure, you'll find butter chicken, tikka masala, palak paneer, naan, and biryani, and they are all very delicious! but there are also dishes like bagara eggplants (described by the menu as "spice stuffed baby eggplants in a roasted peanut, sesame, poppy seeds and coriander gravy, finished with tamarind and coconut") and chicken xacuti (described as "a classic, aromatic chicken curry from the coastal region of Goa, India, known for its complex blend of freshly roasted spices, toasted coconut, and tamarind for a tangy balance"). i ordered both of these tonight and can vouch that they are extremely tasty and worthy of your attention. personally, my only struggle here is that literally every item on the menu looks delicious, and i hate having to choose! which brings me to my favorite part of this restaurant: sunday buffet. now, the food is wonderful every day of the week. i just ordered some tonight myself, so i definitely recommend it. that said, my absolute favorite time to come is for the buffet on sunday. i think buffets get a bad reputation for being all about quantity over quality and for having an unpleasant atmosphere (the passive aggressive "don't waste food" signs that most have don't help, either). sadly, these complaints are true of most buffets. bombay to burgh is a wonderful contrast and, in my opinion, does buffets the way they ought to be. the atmosphere is pleasant (no signs!) and you're likely to see many regular customers. there's a good chance you'll even be greeted by the very owner, G, and get to speak with him a bit! the staff is all very friendly and helpful, always doing their best to make sure you enjoy your visit. they are always happy to help if food needs to be refilled at the buffet or if you want to order anything. finally, and most importantly of all, the food is amazing! unlike most buffets, bombay to burgh only puts out a limited number of offerings: 2 appetizers, 2 meat entrees, 2 vegetarian entrees, 1 bread, 1 rice, 1 dessert, and 1 beverage. i think this is the perfect number to ensure there's both variety and quality. plus, you can actually try a little bit of everything, which usually isn't possible at giant buffets. my favorite part is that every week brings new food, which is now usually themed around a certain region of india. you know they'll always have reliable butter chicken and garlic naan to make you happy, but the rest of the buffet might be dishes you've never eaten before. it's a perfect way to explore different flavors and new food, without worrying you'll waste your money. eating out is a bit pricey anywhere these days, but i personally think that the buffet is still very affordable. have you seen the price of appetizers recently? just the fact that you can choose from two of those with your meal makes it a good deal to me! i feel very fortunate that i get the chance to eat here regularly. while i've loved indian food for over 20 years at this point, bombay to burgh has taken my appreciation to a whole new level and has me researching more food to cook myself. it's a wonderful place to eat!

Bombay to Burgh is an Indian restaurant nestled away on the outskirts of Pittsburgh in the…read moreSwissvale neighborhood. I have no basis on comparison with other Pittsburgh area Indian restaurants, but this seemed to be the one with the best reviews, so we chose this spot for dinner. There is very limited street parking out front, so you may have to circle around the block to find a free spot. There's ample seating for dining in, with tasteful decor throughout the restaurant. We started off with a mango lassi (4.5/5) which was delightfully refreshing with the proper hints of mango without being too sweet. For the appetizer, we ordered the B2B Chicken (3.5/5), which seemed almost like a very mildly spiced chicken pakora. The chicken was tender, but there wasn't much flavor in the batter it was fried in. For meals we went with the chicken tikka masala and butter chicken (both 4.25/5). Both had delicious gravies without being overly heavy with cream, with the chicken tikka masala being a tad bit spicier and more robust due to the onions & bell pepper content. We wound up going with garlic naan (4/5) and malabar laccha paratha (4.5/5) for bread since they didn't offer a plain or butter naan as an option...both were tasty, and the paratha was a great alternative to the more traditional plain naan. For dessert, we went with the nizami phirni (3/5), which was described as a "slow-cooked pudding with broken rice, milk, nuts, saffron, coconut, and cardamom" on the menu. The flavors were very muted, as we were expecting a more traditional kheer, which generally has a stronger flavor of saffron and cardamom. Service (3.5/5) wasn't the best, with 2 people waiting on us at random times, but was otherwise friendly. While we found the dessert a bit disappointing, the rest of the meal was pretty fresh and flavorful, so are glad we got to try to try Bombay to Burgh (overall 4/5), and would recommend them to others looking for decent Indian cuisine in Pittsburgh.

The star of the show was the Butter Chicken (Makhani); I got mine hot and my wife was able to enjoy it. Hot has enough spice to tell you that you are eating Indian food but not so hot you begin to regret your choice. Personally, I like to be uncomfortably hot with spice so I will be getting their highest spice level next time. Take a piece of Naan, a bit of chicken and then keep dipping your Naan into the sauce for the Butter Chicken...so good! The Chicken Tikka platter was good but not great; we felt the same about the Puri. I am not questioning how well it was prepared; it wasn't to our liking so that is on us and our choice. Service was fast and they really tried to help us in our selections. They do a lot of takeout business; it was a steady stream of people coming in for food. Inside the restaurant it was us and another table was occupied when we left but, overall, it was rather light activity for such good food. We plan to come back; we might just get Butter Chicken for both with me getting the super hot and my wife getting hot or a level lower. I would not order the Puri again as it wasn't what we wanted (it was described as crispy, it was slightly crispy) but the Naan was excellent.

The flavors are bold and memorable, and…read morethe sauces are rich and deeply flavorful, especially when paired with the garlic naan which I loved dipping into them. The spice has a noticeable kick that clears your sinuses, although it could be a little intense for me. Something cooling on the side, like a cucumber salad, a yogurt based sauce, or even a yogurt drink, would have really balanced the heat for me personally. Even though the curry portions may look small at first, they are still quite satisfying when eaten with the garlic naan and rice, and the depth of flavor keeps you engaged throughout the meal. The samosas also had a unique and engaging taste. The dessert was also wonderful, a sweet, sugar soaked donut that felt comforting and indulgent, and was honestly hard not to love. Next time, I would love to try one of their spinach dishes. I felt healthy after coming here which makes me want to come back!!

The menu lists a large variety of Indian foods (e.g., appetizers, soups, salads, seafoods, rices, tandoori, vegetarian entrees, chicken, lamb, mutton, desserts, and non-alcoholic drinks). Prices are reasonable. My husband and I ate one dinner here. An employee promptly and kindly served us. I noticed that many of the other customers were Indian, which might be an indicator of the authenticity of the foods. (My husband has traveled to India, and we frequently eat Indian foods, but we are not experts.) We ate a Veg Platter appetizer (samosa, aloo tikki, veg pakora, and paneer pakora), Butter Chicken (with a customized spiciness), Palak Paneer (spinach and cheese with a customized spiciness), Garlic Naan, Mango Masti (sort of like a mango smoothie with ice cream), and Hot Masala Chai. I rate everything as 4.5-5 stars. Our meal cost $56 *plus* tax, tip, and a 3% credit-card surcharge. I would definitely eat more of Swaagat's foods in the future.
