The food was tasty and the people were amazingly friendly! I attended the Yelp event here with a great DJ, solid food, and even got one of their great PGH tshirts!
Our group ordered a variety of menu items and shared everything. Top of my wishlist was the tiki masala, and it was good! We had chicken and white rice and the flavor was delicious and that portion plus naan would have been well enough for a meal. A great vegan option is the cauliflower and chickpea wrap - it had great flavor! The owner also provided a small portion of the chickpea soup, which was fantastic (and also vegan)!
Other dishes we tried at the table included the Croq Choolaah Salad with tamarind ginger dressing and the Paneer Choolaah bowl with yellow lentil sauce... both also very good! What we loved about all the options were the distinct flavors and then the options to add the sauces to spice them up. We also tried the two kinds of lemonade available, mint ginger and mango. The mango was very mango-y (that's a word, right?!) and the mint ginger was just a hint but was very refreshing.
So the food: Good! Now, the atmosphere: everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. The space is very open and offered a variety of options for seating both on the main floor and upstairs in a loft. The open kitchen and modern decor make it a nice place for a quick meal or to sit and chat. I also read that it is a BYOB, so next time I think I'll have a nice bottle of white wine to go with my spicy dish!
