Ok, so I have never really had Indian food before. Some Curry dishes here and there, but that is it. From my first experience with going to a full on Indian restaurant, I loved this place! Connected to an Indian Community Center, this place is so simple, but very tasty. I had Vegetable Samosas and Chicken Tikka Marsala! Awesome. Only went level 3 on the spice for the chicken and still got a runny nose and a little toasty. I will be back for sure!!! read more

See all

Hands down the best Indian restaurant in Pittsburgh! I've been coming here for years - the food and service is always consistently amazing. I recommend the Aloo Gobi (vegetarian) and the Mango Lassi! I've traveled all across the country trying different Indian restaurants and this is by far my favorite. ( A bold statement, I know! But it's that good ) read more

Little place but absolutely awesome food! I have a big painful grin on my face from eating 7 heat takeout from here!

Made to order, so give yourself 30 minutes for a hot and freshly prepared meal. Various heat scale flexibility, and a very extensive menu variety. Dress is casual, and during the warm weather, there is a private courtyard for outside dining. Great vegetarian selections, and equally ample meat offers, including wonderfully prepared Goat Curry. Finish with a cup of Masala Chai Tea and choices from ice-cream; Mango Lassi; Ras Malai (sweet cottage cheese with pistachio and rose water); and much more. -Friendly Staff -Order at counter and choose a seat -Reasonably priced -Authentic Indian Cuisine -Casual ambience ** Will Return Often**! read more

YUM! My favorite indian place...very fast for my office lunch schedule and decently priced. I LOVE their garlic naan and chicken vindaloo is the best. Gobi Manchurian was good, although I've had better, I would order again. PLEASE OPEN ON MONDAYS! read more

Legit Indian food with a nice patio. What else do you want me to say?

My husband kept telling me about this place when he was driving for Uber eats so on the way home from the airport we decided to stop in and were pleasantly surprised. We had the chicken lollipops and naan as an app as well as a vegetarian dish and one with meat. The apps were great and the dishes were very flavorful and delicious. We have since then got take out this time had chicken 65 but prefer the chicken lollipops. We were once again pleased with our food. read more

Delicious Indian restaurant on the outskirts of the city! Went in there with a large group (12) of people as we were celebrating someone's birthday! We ordered many items off their menu, but the standouts were: -Gobhi Manchurian -Mirchi bajjis -Malai Kofta -Lamb biryani We need to go upto the counter and order the food, and they bring it to your table based on the number token they give you. We felt that the service is a bit slow and could definitely improve. Since we had ordered many dishes, we had 2 dishes which were missed out, and were brought at the very end! That was a bit disappointing. But the food was delicious, and would go there again when we have ample time to dine. read more

Food was not fresh. They did not bring our food together and took 15 mins between bringing each dish. We tried to convey our experience to the manager but he was rude and least interested. read more

My favorite place to eat in Pittsburgh. The ownership is so kind. The food is always great and served quick. I wish they had better outdoor seating - hopefully soon! read more

I had pani puri, papri chaat and chicken lollipops. It was pretty authentic and tasty! I will definitely go and try out more things. read more

The food is excellent every time, and I keep coming back even though menu prices have been creeping up over the years. I haven't tried anything yet that I didn't love. There are several indoor tables (think casual dining - nothing fancy) or small but very cute outdoor garden setting with tables. We usually order takeout or have it delivered by Door Dash or Uber Eats, and I've noticed any takeout usually takes a few minutes longer than the estimated time given when placing the order -- but it's SO worth it. There's a large vegetarian menu, meat dishes are tender & delicious, and they're accommodating to dietary needs. Everything seems to be cooked fresh to order, and you can choose your spice level from 0-10 for any "spicy" dishes. read more

Have ordered takeout numerous times and it's always. So. Good. Super flavorful, and it's the best naan I've ever had. Staff is also very friendly. So happy to live so close to this amazing place! read more

The food is awesome. Really like the Indo-Chinese options like Hakka noodles. Also love pani puri. Great neighborhood restaurant.

I had been coming here for the past maybe 3-4 months for a total of maybe 7-9 times and the quality has suffered significantly. I wish it wasn't true but I'm definitely not coming back. read more

More than one reason to love this place. Whether it is Gobi Manchurian or Samosa chaat or Paneer tikka masala, it is always delicious. Additionally everything of reasonably priced. read more

My family (including two 4 year olds) love this place. We get two Chicken Tikka Masalas with rice and garlic naan, vegetable Pakora with Raita, and occasionally Mango Lassis or Masala Chai. The service is always very hospitable and attentive. Have I mentioned that we love this place? read more

Cafe Delhi does exactly what you expect. Serves traditional Indian food at a low cost. There is no frills about this place, the food is really good and cheap. If this is what you're looking for, you will not be disappointed. read more

We stopped by here for dinner. It's more of a casual dining experience. You go to the counter and order, then they bring the dish to you. The food was quite good, and the people were friendly. There was a large menu with many choices, good for vegetarians. I think the cuisine is more South Indian rather than the North Indian food you more commonly find. I would recommend coming by. read more

Cafe Delhi is a breath of fresh air in a town that's been overrun by pizza shops (is there an ordinance that requires one on EVERY block???). I stop by weekly for an enjoyable lunch experience. I've tried almost everything on the menu and I haven't found anything that's not to like. I did find the goat dishes to be overly gamey & it is served bone-in, so be prepared to get your fingers yellow. I do enjoy the lamb curry, chicken kurma and the lamb wraps. The only bad points are the soda is usually flat and ice seems to be a commodity. If your looking for some tasty Indian cuisine give Cafe Delhi a try. read more

4 stars overall. In my opinion, the best indian food in town (second best if you include Chez Moi or Chez anybody who's indian mom cooks up a storm). Anyhow, when I move to a new town, my staples are where is the nearest Taco Bell (oh look...what's that falling straight to hell...well the validity of all my reviews of course - it's a Indian thing, you won't get it), where is the nearest Zara (fail), where is the nearest coffee shop, and what's the best indian restaurant in town. Well, I tried them all in Pittsburgh except for this one given it's location out in the boondocks of Carnegie. A colleague recommended it and he said it's the closest thing to "restaurant style" indian food you're going to get that is reminiscent of India and back east(er) in Queens, NY. So I went. I ate. I was conquered. If it is anything I know, it's Indian food. This is great food. My go to's are the Chicken Malai Kabab (very well cooked, juicy pieces of tender chicken breast marinated in yogurt, cheese, cilantro, ginger among other spices), the spinach chicken and the Chicken Pepper Fry. One of the reasons why Indian Food in general can be unhealthy is the extraordinary amount of oil or cream. I love their butter chicken and tikka masala but their butter chicken is loaded with cream (I can see the fat separate sometimes) as well as the Spinach chicken (but not much because spinach can be creamed by cooking it well). The tikka masala is great but it seems like they forgot a key ingredient in theirs which would be black cardamoms and Javentri (Mace) which gives it that flavor. The butter chicken is on point, and the spinach chicken is too die for. Perfectly cooked pieces of dark meat in a spinach curry laced with cloves. It's like eating crack. I love that it comes with naan or rice so I usually get one of each. The naan is your typical naan, nothing extraordinary. My review for this place is overall quality and taste of food which I think they nailed. My only thing is, for take out, I think they can give a little bit more meat in their dishes...JUST saying, sometimes there is way more gravy than protein and well, that is no Bueno considering other restaurants really don't do this. Saved by the bell in that their food surpasses others in the area so Kudos. read more

Been trying to get here for quite some time and boy am I sad I did not get here sooner!! I had the curry goat and it was extremely tender. My wife had the Chicken Tiki Masala and it was as smooth as butter; just melting in your mouth. The staff here was very helpful and tailored the level of spice for my wife's tepid palate. I can not wait to get back and try more of the menu!!! read more

Probably the best butter chicken I've had! And super friendly service, everyone was really nice. I arrived 10mins before quoted for my take out order and they gave me tea while I waited - I felt like family in here! I've always taken to go but it seems like it would be cozy to eat in. They also give choice of rice or naan with the dishes which is uncommon and amazing for us naan-lovers! read more

Looooove love love. So happy that I discovered this place and blessed that it's so close to my house. Everything I've ordered has tasted amazing and is super authentic. The staff are friendly, but even if they weren't, I'd still go as often as I do because their food just keeps me coming back! I highly recommend if you're looking for delicious Indian food! read more

Easily the best for Gobi Manchurian and Mushroom Manchurian. Little bit on the spicy side.. so what drink a glass of milk once you reach home ;-) Everything else also tastes good. If you are looking Indo-Chinese food then this will be your best bet. read more

I ordered their Butter Chicken (spice 2) and garlic nann I am new to this type of food - and a light-weight on spice BUT this dish is yummy.

I have never tried authentic Indian food before. I tried cafe Delhi about two months ago with some co-workers and I cannot get enough! I have ordered from here over 15 times in the last two months and have tried different things each time. Everything is always very good. I have recommended this place to everyone I know in the area! Even my picky 14 year old son really enjoyed the mango chicken! I will continue to order from Cafe Delhi. read more

I have never eaten at this stores physical location. I have ordered their food through apps about 10 times. Everything I've ever ordered has been delicious and satisfying. The orders from the food app are always processed quickly and get to me as ordered (nothing missing, still hot). I love this place and will continue to order from here in the future. read more

For years I have told everyone who asks that the best Indian food in Pittsburgh is at Cafe Delhi. While their prices are a little higher than other places, I was willing to pay more for the high quality food. However, my order this evening was supremely disappointing. So much so that I feel it warranted a negative review, something I hardly ever do. Today we placed two orders of Chicken Tikka Masala and one order of Dum Aloo. The chicken came just rubbed with spices, no sauce at all. This was the first time we tried Dum Aloo. For $10, we got only two quarters of a potato in sauce. I was thankful there was sauce in the Dum Aloo as it gave us something for the chicken tikka, but $10 for 1 half of a small potato is ridiculous. I have always enjoyed Cafe Dehli's good but I fear that we will likely go elsewhere for Indian going forward. read more

My husband hounded me for almost 3 years to try this place as I had never had Indian food. I was leery at first but omg it's fantastic! The chicken tikka masala is amazing! My son, who is a very picky eater, absolutely loves it as well. Everything is made to order so it's always fresh. The girl who works the counter (Brown curly hair) is very nice and always chit chats with me as I wait on my order, so I feel her customer service is on point. They must be doing something right as they are always super busy when I go down. I have tried 2 other places in the area (downtown Pittsburgh) and the food I've gotten at cafe Delhi is far more superior and it's even less expensive. I feel that the portions are large because I always get 2 meals out of one order, so to me that makes it an even better value. read more

Visited today 7/1. Ordered 5 items Pav bhaji - its not pav bhaji, it was pav with some aloo matar subji. Also no butter in pav or in bhaji. Please learn how to make Bhaji for pav. A 1.5 star for this dish. Chana Bhatura - This was good. Chana could have been better but a 3.5 star for this one. Samosa Chat - Good taste. A 3 star for this one. Paneer Wrap - More of a salad stuffing inside a deep/swad tandoori roti. Who puts cucumber in a wrap? probably a 2 star. Filter Cofee - Probably the best of the 5 items. A 4 star. read more

Soooo happy we came here!!! I'm not usually a fan of eating Indian food at a restaurant but we came here for father's day and we not disappointed. Everything was so tasty and perfectly portioned too. If you like Indian food, you must try this place. read more

Really good food. 4 of us went to this restaurant on a recent trip to Pittsburgh. We ordered chilli chicken, daal makhani, goat curry and chicken tikka masala. All the dishes tasted amazing. We had onion and garlic naans which were really soft. The staff was friendly, our server Chanda, was terrific. I wish toronto had restaurants like this. read more

Amazing Indian food. The best in the Burgh. Get a cup of mango Lissa while you're at it.

Our Fav Indian Place to hang out with friends. Great biryani and Chicken Lollipop. All gravies taste the same though. I wouldn't call them great but okay for accompanying with Garlic Butter Naan. We love the BYOB concept and the cute garden space they have. Perfect for summer evenings. The interiors are congested and everyone's too loud. Service OK too. They always are confused with the orders. Something wrong with their system. Honestly I don't care much when I have the beer and chicken and my friends for company. So, I am going to still recommend this place. read more

I've been to Cafe Delhi twice now, and both times have been impressed. Reasonably priced food that is presented in a clean and modern fashion. I'm such a fan! Cafe Delhi is located in part of what was a church that was dormant for years. Thanks to the current owners, it has been transformed into a modern Indian restaurant alongside a convention hall. I love to frequent locally owned businesses, and I especially like it when someone invests and improves their neighborhood. There's a dozen tables inside the restaurant and an outside patio with 3-4 tables that sits in a cool, shaded courtyard. We sat out there on an 80+ degree day and it felt nice and cool. As for the food, everything I've tried is delicious. I'm a big fan of the chicken kurma, which has a thick sauce and lots of chunks of chicken. It comes with either a side of delicate rice or their tasty naan (a flat bread), and my recommendation is to ask for both rice and naan, which is only a $1 more. Everything else I've had is fresh and delicious, and they let you choose your spice level with a 1-10 so you can decide if you're bold or a wuss. Delicious food, great location, and almost everything on the menu is under $10. Plus, the portions are big, the place is clean, and the service is good and friendly. Thanks for putting such a cool place in Carnegie! read more

So far this is the best indian food i've had in Pittsburgh. Chicken tikka masala is awesome!

Decent Indian restaurants continue to avoid Pittsburgh. Reading some of the good reviews about this place on yelp, we decided to try this place. The restaurant was busy which seemed like a good sign. Unfortunately, the service and the food were sub-par. Wrong dishes delivered to the table, ordered dishes forgotten... could the nightmare end soon! If you are in the Pittsburgh area and have the urge to have Indian food, please buy packaged stuff and have it at home. However, if you cant resist the urge to visit this place, dont forget to bring your own booze as it is BYOB. Something to lift your spirits up! read more

Divine Indian cuisine in Carnegie...yep, you heard me...in Carnegie. The selection of vegetarian dishes are amazeballs! The place is friendly enough and can fit a crowd, which we brought on our recent venture to the cafe. The Veg Manchurian just blew me away...not something I had tried before and it was amazing! Be prepared for quite a lot of heat. The place is happily BYOB. I only dock a point for the ordering process of coming up to the counter. They seemed to have plenty of staff on hand and they brought food to our table, so it was confusing as to why they have it set up that way. read more

I have been here many times and it never disappoints. Naan is always fresh and delicious. Tandoori chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Butter chicken and spinach chicken are both fantastic. Kadai chicken is my new go to. It is a great tomato based stir fry. (Big chicken fan overall if you can't tell). Everything is served fresh and hot. The service is always good. Order at the register, sit at your table with a number card and your food will be there in 10-15 minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful. This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Pittsburgh. Worth the trip to Carnegie. read more
