This was the first Indian restaurant I tried in Pittsburgh and I was impressed by the quality and quantity of food. I am an Indian and have eaten Indian food else where in the US (mostly midwest) and I was satisfied with the quality of food here. I ordered a vegeterian Thali, the amount of food given in a vegetarian Thali is a lot and I had a hard time finishing it. Overall the food is good. I felt that the service can be improved in terms of time it takes for them to serve. Music is too loud there (trust me it is not like this in India nor do we have TVs in restaurants in India) .
The majority of the crowd here are students from CMU or PITT. They have happy hours where certain items on the menu are half the price, so you can try out several things for less.
