Everyone was hungry and wanted to eat some good Indian food... this place was really close to the Temple.. It was actually packed when we went at around 2 PM... parking facilities could be better.. cars kinda gets stuck with the short and narrow pathway.. seating arrangements were really good inside the restaurant.. Service was super good. Once we order the food, it comes really quick... they quickly made eight of us sit and took the order.. overall we were in and out, in about an hour.. For everything we ordered we got the same Sambar and chutney . Sambar taste could have been better . I know it's udipi style but was less salty . Chutney taste was average . Onion Rava was actually good... bisibela bath - was good. Apart from these everything else was just ok . I ordered the special veg thali and except the dhal , most of the items was average . Tasted more like bachelor cooking those days (mess type food ).. Overall the service was good but taste could be better . 3 stars !

India Garden is now the last surviving authentic North Indian Punjabi restaurant in Pittsburgh. Don't get me wrong--there are many fantastic Indian restaurants in Pittsburgh. But after the change of ownership of Taj Mahal (in Pittsburgh & Bridgeville, PA), most other restaurants are purveyors of non-Punjabi Indian food (eg Gujarati Indian, Udipi South Indian, Goan Indian, Bengali Indian etc.) The only Indian restaurant that features a North Indian Punjabi chef (the aforementioned husband-wife duo) is India Garden. I recommend all their breads, especially the tava-cooked Aloo Paratha and Plain Paratha. Make sure you ask for the Paratha to be cooked on Tava (Indian pan) and not the Tandoor oven. I find all their naans delicious but my favorites are the their butter naan & garlic naan. Their chicken reshmi kabab appetizer is especially noteworthy. They serve it on an aesthetically pleasing bed of vegetables including peppers. But that only tends to distract from the tenderness & flavoring of the kebab meat. Their sarson-ka-saag (mix of mustard leaves with other leafy veggies) is simply outstanding. Pair it with the plain paratha or Makki-ki-roti (Punjabi flatbread made from finely ground corn flour). And ask for their home-made butter on the side. Unlike other Indian restaurants they provide Indian pickle either free (with paratha) or at a nominal charge. One other pairing we like is their version of Indian scrambled eggs (Bhurji) with Plain Paratha. Other reviewers have favorably reviewed their other dishes (chicken, lamb etc). And I agree wholeheartedly: they are all delicious. As for Ambiance: it's quite acceptable. What makes this restaurant stand out is the freshness of ingredients and above all, the love with which the food is made. You taste that love with every morsel you eat. Kudos to the owners for maintaining the high standards of Indian flavors & freshness in their food. Oh, and by the way, the Indian pickle they serve is also house made and not out of a jar bought at some Indian grocery store. And if you new to Indian food, feel free to ask the owners for advice. They won't steer you wrong.

Just enough to taste the spice without it burning you. My friend got spice level five and didn't taste anything spicy. I also had the mango lassi which was great. The restaurant is located on a strip mall. Nothing fancy. The bathroom was clean. The tables are super weird. It's all booths and the booth is movable but it's attached to the booth/seat behind you if that makes sense.

I got to try the Kashmiri chai, dhaba daal (chana daal), and the chicken kebab roll. The chicken kebab was really good. The paratha was flakey and just perfect, not too oily and just a tad crispy. The chicken was also well cooked and well seasoned, and the white sauce was pretty nice as well. Nice portion for the price. Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo of the chana, but it was just average. Not bad by any means, but nothing to make note of. I will say, most restaurants serve this with rice, and for some reason rice was not included in my takeout. Finally, the Kashmiri chai was very nice. What a pleasant pink color. Nice balance of the spices and milk. Very wholesome, somewhat floral flavor to it.

They definitely push you to get the combos, but that is because you get fuller picture of the meal and cuisine if you do (and honestly it isn't that much more). I tried the kababs and they were tender and packed with flavor. I've also had the Chicken Shawarma and a lamb kebab over rice and all have been equally tasty. Service is efficient considering they make things to order. There is a small seating area, but it appears most people order their items to go. If you are looking for something a little different, this is a great option.

Lots of meat. I decided to try out their brownies, chocolate chip cookie, and the chicken seekh kebab. Everything was so, so good. The portions, the flavors, everything, it was all delicious. The chicken seekh kebab was amazing. It was tender and so tasty. It had the perfect amount and balance of spice. The rice was also tasty, fluffy, well made. Nice and fresh vegetables. That white sauce went perfectly with the meat. Highly recommend. The two desserts I tried out were also very good. The brownie especially, absolutely delicious. It was so fudgey and filled with chocolate; I loved it. The chocolate chip cookie was also pretty good, and absolutely huge. Nice chocolate bits all throughout. I would especially recommend the brownie! All in all, I highly recommend this place. The meat was amazing. Such a good bowl, and so fresh. The desserts are also delicious. I'd love to come back!

I wouldn't say anything in particular was the best ever, but everything was really good, which in itself is just awesome. The paneer tikka was good. Nice a flavorful. The palak chaat was fine - I'd say it was mostly just palak pakoras and didn't really have much of a flavors of a chaat. Proabably this was the only somewhat disappointing item. The paneer lababdar was really good. Asparagus kofta was probably the even better, and then the dal makhani was also good. We ordered naan in a couple of batches and enjoyed it most when they brought it out really fresh out of the tandoor. The bullet naan was really good. Garlic naan was good too.

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!

I had really hoped to see methi matar malai on the menu, but they didn't have it. What they did prepare for us was excellent. The naan was especially good. While not as large as other restaurants naan, it had a great puffy texture and a lovely flavor. Biryani looked good on its transit to a nearby table. Next time we're back we'll definitely order it. Sundays are a good day to visit, as they serve it buffet-style.
