Excelent Indian food inPittsburgh. The Korma mix veggies the shrimp vindaloo and the saag paneer were our standing. Dont miss it. The service was also excelent
I didn't realize the platter that I saw on the reviews is the luch buffet. While I was there for dinner, I was clueless. There are no pictures on the menu. So, I had to Google all the dish names to make an order.The lamb kabob tastes good, especially the naan. The fish yellow curry tastes better than the chicken red curry.I took one star off because the chicken curry on kid's menu is spicy. I would say it's not a kids friendly restaurant if your kid doesn't eat spicy food.
This is the review from an Indian so the context of this review is focused on authenticity and taste. While the photos are so deceiving, I will say that the taste of curries can see some improvement. Our group had both veg and nonveg platters. Among the non veg platter, I will only recommend kabab while the chicken curry is simply a red colored water and fish curry had a weird smell. Among veg platter, pakora was good and rest all were just average. The nans were fully cooked once and in the second round it was half cooked. I was surprised that they did not have sambar/rasam/raita in their platter. While addition of paradise would have been great too.
What a wonderful Indian restaurant! Everyone at the restaurant was very kind and even assisted us with the nearby street parking. The lunch special was delicious and very filling- I suggest arriving for lunch early because they do run out of the special. I also enjoyed the mango lassi, although small in size, was very rich and delicious! Will definitely be returning!
After eating bland vegetarian food in Greensburg for a few days, I was hoping to find something more flavorful when I got to Pittsburg. Masala House rescued my bored taste buds. I had samosas, garlic naan, vegetable korma, and channa masala. Each dish was hot and bursting with flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely come back the next time I’m in town!
Delicious dishes… our favorites were a tuna masala and something scrumptious with okra. Small portions made trying everything possible… then it was all-you-can-eat so we got more of our favorites. Nanju was a terrific waiter. We’ll be back!
Really great consistent, and tasty food! And the best thing about is, the spices are made from the chef directly not from pre mixes like most of the Indian restaurants do unfortunately… Worth to wait!!
Far and away the best restaurant in Pittsburgh and easily one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to in the US. It tastes like home cooked food the way my mother makes it, and every item on the menu is cooked perfectly. The restaurant has a lunch buffet that is one of the best both in terms of quality and in terms of bang for your buck. If you're craving good Indian food or just good food you must come to this restaurant. It's a bit out of the way and you'll have to find parking a little further away, but it's absolutely worth the effort. I've brought four other people here and they have all agreed this is one of the best restaurants around. I'm leaving Pittsburgh in August, and until then I'm going to eat here as much as I can.
We came here for lunch. We were impressed with the decorations. It's authentic Indian cuisine. A waiter was super friendly. We were impressed they have a kid menu. We ordered 3 different kind curries. Gongura curry, Curry, and Tikka Masala. We shared Samosa and Naan. For Gongura curry, if you love spicy, choose mild or above. My friend ordered Tikka Masala and choose less than mild spicy. It was perfect spicy scale. If you don't like spicy, don't choose mild. It was delicious. This kid ordered Chicken and Rice from the kid menu. She loved it. A waiter gave her a free kid size Lassi. She drank all of it. Overall, we loved it. We will return back.
My husband and I live within walking distance of Masala House, so after we discovered it we have been back multiple times since! Their lunch special is second to none (think mini personal buffet with free refills), and the naan is the best I've ever had--its made fresh to order. The staff is always warm and welcoming. Couldn't recommend this spot more!
