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!!

Swaagat Indian Cuisine is a local restaurant that has a small, casual dining room and also offers…read moretakeout and delivery. 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.

The service was warm and attentive, and the dining room had a comfortable, inviting atmosphere that made us happy to slow down and enjoy the meal. The lamb rogan josh was rich, tender, and deeply flavorful, while the rava dosa was crisp and satisfying. The real standout for us, though, was the paneer bhurji--absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and something we'd happily order again.

Their food varies: some dishes like the Chicken Qorma are great. The standard biryani is acceptable. The Tandoori Chicken is great! Most curry dishes are given with a bowl of rice. Other dishes are a bit hard to understand: Mutton Sukka which should be dry was in a bowl of rather wet curry. A vegetable biryani had so much gravy in it, it seemed it was just rice in curry. Heat/spicy levels seem a bit high. Recommend starting on the lower side and going higher later. I love that if you get get takeout, it's packaged really well. Sealable plastic containers are covered in wrap. However, I got a vada sambhar and they didn't package the vada separately. I think they should deviate from how they serve it to eat in vs take out. Finally, it's all pretty expensive with not a lot of deviation... the standard price seems to be $18 for a dish. -2 for vegetarian, +1 +2 for premium meats. Any bread is $4 or$5. It's a reliable and efficient option. Orders are ready on time and don't get lost. Works well if you find dishes you like.

Since 2017 I have been a customer of Taj Mahal. It is definitely one of my favorite Indian…read morerestaurants in the Pittsburgh area. Its menu lists vegetarian and non-vegetarian appetizers, chaat, soups, salads, kathi rolls, vegetarian entrees, tandoori entrees, rices, curries, some Indo-Chinese entrees, breads, desserts, and drinks. Prices are reasonable. Most recently, I ordered Taj Mahal's foods through a delivery service. Here are my reviews for what I ate: Butter Chicken - 4.5 stars - Large, juicy chunks of chicken were covered in a sauce that was sweet and moderately spicy. I had requested mildly spicy, which I enjoyed but my husband thought was slightly too spicy. Samosas - 5 stars - Two samosas were a large size, had a crispy outside, and nicely spiced potatoes and peas on the inside. Garlic Naan - 5 stars - The naan was a large size, was chewy and crispy, and was seasoned with the right amount of garlic. Some of my favorite foods from my past orders were vegetable jalfrezi, chicken pakora, and palak paneer.

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 paneer lababdar was really good. Asparagus kofta was probably the even better, and then the dal makhani was also good.
