    Lentil Soup.
    Mike B.

    Overall, an excellent establishment. This isn't fine dining, but it is well-run and generally delivers high quality food. The space is reasonably well-kept, but the restaurant is built on all the existing infrastructure from whatever had been in the space previously. It's not newly renovated, but the owners have done what they can with the space. In terms of the food, we ordered takeout, and that seems to be the norm. I saw a few different takeout orders pass through during the few minutes while I waited for my food. The tomato soup and lentil soup were both deeply flavorful without being heavy. The chickpea salad was a nice opportunity for fresh vegetables, but it didn't really fit the vibe: it was basically lettuce, canned chickpeas, crisp cucumber and feta. Good, but not exceptional. The samosa chaat was excellent and filled with texture and flavor: this was definitely a bright spot. The Chana masala was excellent, with a nice depth of flavor and a touch of spicy heat. The vegetable masala curry feels like it didn't need to be on the menu. It was fine, but it didn't carry the same flavor or textures as other items on the menu. In other words, the food was generally quite good with a few minor misses. On top of the food, the staff were excellent. It took a few extra minutes before my takeout order was ready, and the staff were friendly/welcoming/engaging the whole time. They really seemed focused on trying to make the restaurant a success, and that's always good sign. I look forward to checking this place out again in the future.

    This place is close to our hotel so we popped in for an impromptu dinner. I noticed their menu lacked some of the classic Indian dishes such as tiki masala and butter chicken. So I was left to try something new which was the chicken kebab tandoori. Little underwhelming. My wife's food however was delicious! Server was nice and very accommodating.

    Glad that Downtown Pittsburgh finally has good Indian cuisine - Royal Mezbaan recently had a soft opening and decided I'd stop in on a Sunday. They had a buffet that day (believe it's typically for the weekday but they were serving it when I stopped in) but I decided to try the mattar paneer (peas and cuddled cheese in tomato sauce) with rice and buttered naan. Everything was great - the sauce had plenty of spice and flavor, the rice was nicely cooked, the cheese was chewy and complemented the flavor of the sauce, and the bread was fresh and hot. (The peas probably should have been cooked a little longer, but they weren't bad at all.) I hope this place does well when the grand opening happens and would encourage you to give them a try.

    Visited Royal Mezbaan recently and tried garlic naan with Chana masala, vegetable fried rice, and chicken mandi. While the service was attentive and the ambience good, the food good.

The staff here walked me through their menu. My drink was delicious. And I'll be sure to. One back again. The decor was cool and this place was very clean. I was glad I stopped in.

    I feel very mixed about this coffee shop. We set out to find a coffee shop where we could sit down…read moreand enjoy a coffee. After walking around the neighborhood, this one had seating, so we went inside. First, I'll say the coffee we tried was pretty good - a cappuccino and a brown sugar cinnamon latte. The barista asked "for here or to go" and the drinks still came in a paper cup anyway despite us saying "for here". I really enjoy having a coffee in an actual glass/mug when I say "for here". The ambiance was a bit confusing... not really sure what they were going for in the space, things were a bit choppy and thrown together. Kinda felt like you were in someone's garage with cluttered items on rickety shelves behind the counter. Our barista was very nice, but an awkward moment occurred when they were ringing us up - barista asked for a tip but then told us not to put the tip on the credit card because the owner steals from them. We felt this was a little uncomfortable and gave some unwelcoming energy. We also tried a Nutella croissant, which was very good! I think this shop has a lot of potential with some changes to service and decor.

    LOVED our dinner at this place…read more We came here for dinner while visiting Pittsburgh. The first thing that struck me was the interior decor. Very industrial and moody with an open kitchen/preparation area that adds some intrigue. I do like to see the happenings of what's going on as someone with zero attention span. Service was excellent. George was fantastic. He kept a close eye on us without being overbearing. He anticipated what we might need so we didn't spend one second waiting to order anything. The menu is not endless or overwhelming which, presumably, allows them to focus on the items that are listed. I have decision panic so it was kinda nice to have less things to choose from. They asked if there were any allergies or dietary restrictions so I mentioned my vegetarianism. George went through the menu and pointed out the vegetarian options including what seems like it is vegetarian but isn't. They had TWO vegetarian entree options and fortunately the non-mushroom one was something I probably would have ordered anyway: pesto with walnuts, arugula, and a very generous amount of grated cheese. To start, I ordered the Brussels sprouts whichc I was warned had fish sauce. This was fine but nothing that blew me away. GF, on the other hand, loved this. GF ordered the wedge which was brought to our attention as vegetarian with the bacon on the side, which was her request. We ended up sharing both, a large part of that was because hers came out first and I couldn't wait but I'm so glad because the wege was FANTASTIC. The dressing? holy fuck pure ecastasy. The wedge was more like a filet shape which was much easier to eat. Who decided on the wedge shape anyway? The lettuce was so fresh and crisp and went wonderfully with that orgasmic dressing and breadcrumbs. Back to my pasta. Also delectable. Noodles were al dente. The sauce was creamy and packed that pesto umami flavor. The walnuts were a really nice contrast in texture. Everything about it absolutely fucking slapped. GF ordered the mushroom entree which came served on a bed of barley which, don't mind if I do, had a few forkfuls to "sample" for "my review". Again, so fucking good. Because it was my birthday, George provided a dessert (yuzu maybe?) that was served inside a meringue-esque igloo, creamy perfect balance of sweet and tart custard with some berry business underneath. Wonderful. I almost forgot their spectacular cocktails! Holy shit, literally they have a CORN CHIP cocktail that I could not pass up. It comes with two massive cornchips on top of a flavored foam. When you bring the glass up to sip, the cornchips are right in front of your nose and their aroma sets the stage for the drink which was STRONG. It wasn't as corn chip forward as I expected but I understand that flavor is probaly hard to create. For my second drink, I ordered the blue one which was refreshing, light, and really good. GF ordered a spritz which was gorgeous "it was good". For second round, I picked out some uranium thing that was very cucumbery, GF says, "it was good". I just read it outloud to her. "it's true!" Fantastic meal at a great place.

Really liked this spot. The staff was great, the location was central, and its very upper crust. Great place for date night, drinks, and fellowship. I definitely will need to try another dish on my next visit.
