| - This restaurant is definitely one to add to the rotation of favorites! We started with the steamed vegetarian momos; they were delicious, plentiful (eight!), and served with a dipping sauce unlike any other I'd ever tried. So good. We also got an order of vegetable pakora, and those were really different from the sort you get at Indian restaurants--softer and almost creamy inside with lots of subtle flavors. Yum!
After this mountain of food (we did not expect appetizers to be meal-sized, especially at such low prices) came our entree platters. We ordered from the Nepali menu and got these wonderful trays of small dishes, each more delicious than the next. I don't usually care about daal, but Subba's is amazing. The chicken, the vegetables, the pickle-- everything on my tray was a treat. The flavors were varied but complemented each other really well. I stopped feeling hungry about five bites in, but the deliciousness kept tempting me back for more. So worth the indulgence!
And all of this at really, really low prices. I almost laughed when we got the check; so much cheaper than you'd expect for the quality and portion sizes.
They make their mango lassi with coconut; you need to try this.
The staff was so nice!
The place is clean and cute. The kitchen, which you can see on your right as you enter was spotless.
Subba's Nepali menu isn't comparable to anything else in Pittsburgh right now. This place is a gem. Just go!
