| - Prince of India is by far the most convenient option for a Pitt student that needs to satiate their Indian food cravings. I have been here many a time, with decent experiences. My most recent experience definitely made me want to write a review because I had such an attentive server.
I ordered the lentil daal in an attempt to try something new (I usually order mattar paneer or saag), with the spiciest spice level they could do. That's usually what I tell them, too, because if I say 10, they'll give me "white girl 10", which is still too mild for my taste.
When the lentil daal came out, it was still not hot enough! I don't know if it was the texture of the lentils or the flavors in the dish, but I was regretting not ordering my usual. However, I guess the waiter picked up that it wasn't spicy enough. He said, "How is the spice level?" and I said, "Still not hot enough, but that's okay!" However he wasn't going to take that as an answer. He took my dish and brought back a hotter dish. The spice level was much more to my liking, and I am very thankful for his attentiveness.
Aside from the daal, the naan was not nearly as fluffy and soft as it usually is. I would venture to guess there was too much flour in the dough, but it was inconsistent with my previous experiences eating Prince of India's naan, which is almost always light and fluffy.
All in all, I will definitely be going back to Prince of India. Mostly due to convenience.
Tip: order an individual dish, don't go for the buffet. It always tastes less delicious than the entrees.
