    Lunch Combo Special
    Dante M.

    Excited to find out that India on Wheels will be back open at their CMU location during the second week of August! Today, I came here for lunch at the Pitt location on Bigelow and ordered the lunch combo special, which includes 3 curries of your choice, a piece of naan, and a water or a soda. I went with the Chicken Vindaloo, Jeera Chicken, and the Paneer Makhani. All were delicious, except I wish they had given me more chicken in my portions. I also asked for a spice level of 8 but the food wasn't too spicy, so I'm definitely going to ask for a 10 when I go back!

    Palak Paneer and Chicken curry with rice and naan.

    The food was some of the best food I've had in Pittsburgh! Very good prices, very good flavor, and very generous portions! Would highly recommend.

    Chk Tk Masala. Small portion (huge) for $4.50. Speaking of huge...

    If you know me you know I've been to a lot of restaurants and food trucks. So when I say this is the best Curry I've had in North America, and the best food truck I've ever eaten from, you know I'm either on acid, or dead right. Or more likely, both. When I see this food truck, I start doing "India on Cartwheels" in my mind. And I let out a few "India on Squeals." I brought my friend Remington here, thinking it was "India On Steele's." And if it were referring to my guy friend from Hyderabad who is currently dating my girl friend from Cardiff, it'd be "India on Wales." Ahem. What to get: Large Chicken Tikka Masala (spice level 1-10) for $5.50. Why: It's the best curry in North America, and I've had at least 57% of them. You're lying: Yes, I'm horizontal in bed right now because I'm full to the brim of IoW curry. So they how are you going to get to the gym today: You're going to have to curry me out. Seriously, if you only eat 1 thing in Pittsburgh, let it be this. They open from around 11 to 6 each day (shorter hours when school is out, sometimes), parked on Bigelow about 2 blocks north of the Cathedral Of Learning. There's a new one over by Carnegie Mellon too, haven't been yet. I've sent and taken many people here now, and the *majority* think it is one of the best curries they've ever had. Including people who have lived in and visited England and/or India. So I'm not crazy. I get requests to drive it all the way back to Buffalo most times I'm here. The prices are ridiculously low. It's silly. I mean, they're basically giving these amazing curries away. The Samosa Chaat is good, the Mango Lassi not so good, but it's the curries that win the world universe galaxy curry contest. Chicken Tikka Masala is *the* one. It tastes a lot like the curries over in England (British Indian is a cuisine all unto itself, invented by Indian immigrants, and perhaps the most delicious genre of food you can get in the UK... and we all do). It would actually be one of the best ones in London, Birmingham, Manchester, or even Bradford. Except that it's in Pittsburgh. Don't leave it out of the fridge for too long, or it'll be "India on Congeals." And be grateful it's served over rice and not "India on Oatmeal." If you eat so much of it that you get super tall, I'll call you "India on Shaquille." And if you want to turn me on while eating it, try "India on High Heels." The people of Pitt just don't know how lucky they are to have this truck here. I drive 4 hours from Buffalo just to have it, on a bi-monthly basis. Not that I'm bi, but I would be, if that was the only way to scarf down this curry regularly. However, one caveat is that not everyone will like it. If you're used to "Indian Indian" over British Indian, or if you are used to the Americanized crap (sorry), then this might not be your cup of tea. It's a matter of taste. If it's not your cup of tea, we can't be friends anymore. (Joke) (Sort of). Some of the negative reviews here are actually clearly from people who were expecting Americanized crap, and "don't get it." It's their loss, really. Another caveat, and my only complaint, is that while they're lovely people, in some of their online responses... I'd advise them to be a little more "kissy-assy", one might say. I sent a friend here, and her experience was not great. I wish the responses to her review had been more gentle, less confrontational. An argumentative response to a negative review is so much more off-putting to potential customers than the review itself. If they ever remove those responses and start being suck-ups ;) then I'll remove this paragraph. I just want them to be loved by all the way I love them, for the *incredible* food. Service: amazing. The owner is a wonderful guy, and has even stayed open late for me on several occasions, I'd call from Ohip and tell him I'd be 20 mins later than closing. No problem. Wow! If you get it on a Sunday, it's "India on Steelers." And if your banana just un-peeled itself, then "India on Repeel." With these prices, it's more like "India on Great Deals." Or "India on Steals." I might make a movie about this truck: "India on Reels." Or it might turn me into one of those shirtless studly Bollywood guys, so my nickname could be "India on Sex Appeals." And if you eat more than 1 thing in Pitt, you may also want to try the Rib Eye Taco at Las Palmas (on Brookline), and the Gyro from Greek Gourmet or Gali's, as well as the steak sandwich at Gaucho, and the Old Bay - Wet wings at Bob's Big Shot. But if it's just 1 thing... let it be this Chicken Tikka Masala. Believe it. Anyway I've been rambling too long, I feel like I've given you the whole "India on Spiel." And if it were referring to how most Indians imagine themselves hooking up with Jessica Biel (or any one of her sisters), then it'd be "India on Biels." Whereas if it were about how emotional I get when I eat this spectacular, incomparable Chicken Tikka Masala, it'd be named "India on All-The-Feels."

    Lamb Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan
    Grace K.

    Was super excited to try this and was happily surprised but the portions, but a bit disappointed by the flavor. The lamb biryani and chicken tikka masala were basically overflowing from their containers, so it's definitely a bang for your buck. However, the chicken tikka masala could've been more flavorful and the rice was disappointingly not basmati :-( The garlic naan could have also had a stronger garlic flavor. Maybe we came in with too high of expectations from the raving reviews we've heard, but it wasn't as great as we were hoping it to be.

    Shrimp Korma
    Htaseth N.

    The first time I was there, had a Shrimp Korma and it was awesome. Honestly much better than any of the dishes I had at Prince of India near by, and for $5.50 you get a large portion, actually had plenty of shrimp and spicy enough.(I asked for 9/10 so probably for 9 I did want it to be spicier) The place has enough options, including vegetarian and shrimp options. If I had to complain, the rice looked a little weird, and I don't really like the curry served all over the rice, but again for a food truck its understandable. Also it did take time. Overall I will definitely go there again, and pretty regularly at that too.

    They are open from about 11 Am - 3:30 PM Mon - Fri in the winter. They are open from about 11 AM to about 6 PM Mon - Fri in the summer. According to my senior colleague (who has been at Pitt for over 20 years), this is the best food truck at University of Pittsburgh. The food is certainly very good and inexpensive. It's highly recommended for a quick eat near campus. The portions are large, and you will likely have some food left over. You can also specify spiciness. The biryani (chicken, vegetable, shrimp, or lamb) is $4.00 for small and $5.00 for large. I usually get the chicken biryani, which is cooked with basmati rice, coconut sauce, nuts, and herbs. The Mango Lassi is good for only $1.50 I think they make the food while you wait. Call ahead if you want to avoid having to wait out in the cold or the lines.

    sometimes they go a little heavy on the sauce so the rice gets wet but it is a really great spot. Hard to do better for your money.

    This was my first time trying Just Roll'd Up at their brick & mortar. I'd had a sushi roll from…read moretheir truck sometime back in 2020-2021, so I was overdue for another visit. We just ordered takeout online. I got the Umami Gold poke bowl and it was fabulous! The yellowtail was so fresh. My fiancé got the California Avenue poke bowl and overall enjoyed it, although he thought that the rice was a tad too salty. We got the smaller size of the bowls and they were still huge - we couldn't finish all of the rice! We also split the California Avenue roll and loved it - the pieces were also pretty big. You really get a lot of bang for your buck here! Definitely want to try more of the menu.

    I have just discovered this little sushi gem in East Liberty and have found myself coming here…read moreoften for their sushi burritos lately. The seafood they use is actually pretty fresh, and they are generous with the fish portions. I've gotten the Jack and yellow a few times (yellowfin tuna, yellowtail, jalapeno chips, and wasabi mayo) and have been pleased. It does have a kick with the wasabi mayo so beware! I would love to see them offer more sushi burrito options (currently only 3 on the menu) or a build your own style option. The sushi rolls are simple, but yummy. This is a good spot if you're craving simple, fast casual seafood, with quality ingredients. The staff have been so kind too!

    Hey friends! I wanted something with a Pittsburgh stamp on it before I headed home. A Yelp search…read moreled me here to this eclectic spot with delicious food. Pittsburgh Sandwich Society runs a kitchen out of Strange Roots Experiential Ale which is a small locally-owned distillery. Once you enter, you'll scan a QR code to order online. Don't waste time like me waiting for a server lol. I ordered the In-An-Aht burger which features spring mix, their society sauce, American cheese and tomato. The burger was SO GOOD. All the ingredients had the perfect portions and came together beautifully. It was a perfect medium-well cook. The fries are hand cut and delicious. My only distaste was that fries were veryyyyy salty. +Customer service was amazing! +Limited Free Parking out front and in a nearby alley. +Plenty of tables for dine-in +Free boardgames to play +Beautiful patio with plenty seating I'm excited to return for the patio in the summer when I return to PA. I hope you enjoy!

    Been a while since I've been to Pittsburgh sandwich Society due to me moving. Ive always enjoyed…read moretheir burgers and chicken sandwiches. However I had to come down for the fish sandwich. They don't open until 4, but you can place orders online hours before then. Picked up food around 4:20. By time we got home, the fish maintained its crispness. I was actually quite impressed with how well it was prepared. Nice and flaky but didn't fall apart. The bun it comes on is well proportion with the fish. The only thing I could've went without, was the macaroni salad topped on the fish. However, the food here never disappoints. I'll be back.
