I was home visiting family in Pittsburgh and was thrilled to see an Indian restaurant easily accessible to the Aspinwall/Blawnox communities. Their buffet has a nice selection of dishes you traditionally see at Indian buffets - not many surprises. All were done well though it would be nice to see homemade samosas. The smallish bite-size samosas seemed pre-made and had more of a filo dough outside. However, the giant pakora more than made up for it. They had quite a few chicken dishes, and the chicken tikka masala was spiced nicely for a buffet. However, it would be great to see a few non-chicken dishes too in the future. Perhaps some Aloo Gobi and a few more vegetarian options.
The restaurant itself has a polished look. It's possibly the first Indian restaurant I've visited that has a shaded patio which will be especially nice during warmer weather. Bathrooms were spotless and roomy (always a plus). Good luck to the owners of Spice Affair for taking a chance in this neighborhood!
