Bombay To Burgh · Swissvale
Pittsburgh Magazine profiles Bombay to Burgh as a personal expression of Indian home cooking in Swissvale. The article highlights a menu that moves from creamy chicken korma to coastal Goan fish curry, giving the small Braddock Avenue dining room useful range. It suits a group willing to share several dishes and compare regional spice profiles.
Masala House Indian Bistro · Shadyside
Pittsburgh Magazine includes Masala House in its survey of Indian restaurants shaping the local dining scene. The original Baum Boulevard dining room offers a broad bistro menu suited to either a quick weekday meal or a shared dinner. Curries, breads, rice dishes, and vegetable preparations give groups plenty of room to build a varied table.
People's Indian Restaurant · Garfield
Pittsburgh Magazine profiles People's Indian Restaurant at its Penn Avenue address, recognizing a longstanding family operated dining room. The menu covers familiar northern Indian curries, tandoor cooking, breads, rice, and vegetarian choices without narrowing itself to one specialty. It is a practical selection for mixed groups because the kitchen offers substantial meat and meatless options.
