| - This place just opened up in a space that used to be a Chinese buffet. At this time it appears that they are buffet only, and only open for Lunch. The space itself is pleasant, and uncluttered, actually it is borderline elegant. The lunch buffet is quite extensive. We were here on either their 2nd or 3rd day open. At this point, I would suggest that this is less Asian Fusion, than mainly just a wide variety of Indian food. That said, the range of items on the buffet is pretty impressive and ranges from a number of vegetarian options to lots of chicken options to lamb and beef. There are also a number of dessert options and a nice little salad bar.
My understanding is that they will --over time-- expand the number of non-Indian Asian items and crossover items. The owner told me that they can make Thai, Chinese, Indian etc.
This is a very nice place and I am sure that they will only get better as they iron out the processes associated with running the restaurant--for instance, their beverage options did not include Mango Lassi, which it would be nice if it did.
In terms of Indian places in downtown, there are at this point several. Some are very good, some are not. India Palace on Sixth St. is great for those closer to the Point or the Stadiums. For those closer to Steel tower and the convention center, there is now a decidedly good Indian option for that end of town.
I look forward to seeing Indo expand its "Asian Fusion" side over time and look forward to seeing things like the "Indian Chinese" food that one can get in places like Edison, NJ or restaurants like Hot Wok in Atlanta (if it is still there, it has been 10 years). I hope that Pittsburgh is ready for it, I certainly am.
