    We were on the road for a road trip & stopped by in Washington, PA. We were craving something other than American food so we stopped by here. It was actually pretty decent! They have a lot of options, especially for vegetarians. The Thali looked good but I went with the daal of the day since I wanted something smaller before driving for awhile. We were surprised that it was pretty good for an unassuming restaurant. Would return if we're in town again!

    The food was excellent. The Naan and Vindaloo are really flavorful. Definitely recommend trying the desserts too! I got the rasmalai and it was great.

    This place has great food with a few vegetarian options. The paneer masala is full of flavor and the naans are some of the best I've had. They have mild, medium, and hot options on most items. Great service. The inside of the place is pretty cool looking and the people there are great! The food comes out fast and hot. This location is on a main road and it's street parking but there are plenty of spots. Side note. This was ordered take out and arrived back home piping hot.

    Chilly chicken

    Worst Indian restaurant. Don't ever go here. We ordered a number of items but the food was disgusting.

    Naan

    I thought the food was amazing I tried the chicken masala was great but the naan was the star of the show. The interior was amazing, the tables were nice and big. It took awhile for the food to come

    On the left chicken Saag, the middle Garlic Naan, and on the right is chicken masala

He is a Nepali immigrant and has worked hard (and made some smart investments in Crypto (which I personally know nothing about)) to open his dream restaurant. The Veg. Momos were delicious and reminded me of my time two years ago when I spent one motorcycling in the Himalayas in August, 2023. The Masala Chai was perfect in both taste and sweetness. I tried something new, that I never had before also, fried vegetable Pakuda (I think that is the name), and they were tasty too. I want to get some Chicken Momos and / Jhol Momos next time. BTW, Momos are a special request item, so they are made from scratch and take a little longer to arrive, so if you are in a hurry, you can get a quick meal that is ready to go, such as Butter Chicken, from the multiple choices on display in the hot bar right in front of you. There is also a coffee station, where the barista (same friendly guy), can make a latte, espresso, mochachino, etc., with a variety of chocolate, and flavored syrups. Very nice place!! Cheers! P.S. Doge stands for Dream our Goal (of) Entertaining (people).

When I asked if this is what it comes with, they said yes you only get five pieces. This is absolutely unacceptable when it's not even two ounces of chicken. Complete highway robbery! I will never come back here again and I suggest you don't come here and waste your money on just rice and sauce.

I gave one more star, but it was still not the greatest experience. For one, I was still given a dish made with canned green beans. Granted, it had some spices, but still came from a can (also it was not very hot, it was very cool). Other cups of the food were not very hot either. No sweet was provided on my Thali, so I had some Jalebi at home. Thali should always include a sweet and Achar (pickle). Also, the young woman wanted to charge me the weekend Thali price ($16.99) but thankfully the honest gentleman gave me the correct price for weekday, $14.99. I did like the Gongura Chicken the best. The Chicken Tikka, and Mushroom were good too. The Rajma Dal was just O.K. I will repeat, all of the Thali dishes need to be hotter as most were served barely warm. The Naan was good. Namaste Dosto! P.S. there is no air conditioning here. If it is a warm day, it will be warm inside the restaurant.

    this is a long overdue review for my favorite indian restaurant in the city (and possibly my…read morefavorite restaurant of all). i eat here almost every week, but keep forgetting to leave a rating. time to fix that :) bombay to burgh is an amazing restaurant. it's always delicious, with food that tastes fresh and perfectly balanced. as a fan of indian food, i love how the menu isn't stuck on the classic dishes that you find in every indian restaurant in the US. sure, you'll find butter chicken, tikka masala, palak paneer, naan, and biryani, and they are all very delicious! but there are also dishes like bagara eggplants (described by the menu as "spice stuffed baby eggplants in a roasted peanut, sesame, poppy seeds and coriander gravy, finished with tamarind and coconut") and chicken xacuti (described as "a classic, aromatic chicken curry from the coastal region of Goa, India, known for its complex blend of freshly roasted spices, toasted coconut, and tamarind for a tangy balance"). i ordered both of these tonight and can vouch that they are extremely tasty and worthy of your attention. personally, my only struggle here is that literally every item on the menu looks delicious, and i hate having to choose! which brings me to my favorite part of this restaurant: sunday buffet. now, the food is wonderful every day of the week. i just ordered some tonight myself, so i definitely recommend it. that said, my absolute favorite time to come is for the buffet on sunday. i think buffets get a bad reputation for being all about quantity over quality and for having an unpleasant atmosphere (the passive aggressive "don't waste food" signs that most have don't help, either). sadly, these complaints are true of most buffets. bombay to burgh is a wonderful contrast and, in my opinion, does buffets the way they ought to be. the atmosphere is pleasant (no signs!) and you're likely to see many regular customers. there's a good chance you'll even be greeted by the very owner, G, and get to speak with him a bit! the staff is all very friendly and helpful, always doing their best to make sure you enjoy your visit. they are always happy to help if food needs to be refilled at the buffet or if you want to order anything. finally, and most importantly of all, the food is amazing! unlike most buffets, bombay to burgh only puts out a limited number of offerings: 2 appetizers, 2 meat entrees, 2 vegetarian entrees, 1 bread, 1 rice, 1 dessert, and 1 beverage. i think this is the perfect number to ensure there's both variety and quality. plus, you can actually try a little bit of everything, which usually isn't possible at giant buffets. my favorite part is that every week brings new food, which is now usually themed around a certain region of india. you know they'll always have reliable butter chicken and garlic naan to make you happy, but the rest of the buffet might be dishes you've never eaten before. it's a perfect way to explore different flavors and new food, without worrying you'll waste your money. eating out is a bit pricey anywhere these days, but i personally think that the buffet is still very affordable. have you seen the price of appetizers recently? just the fact that you can choose from two of those with your meal makes it a good deal to me! i feel very fortunate that i get the chance to eat here regularly. while i've loved indian food for over 20 years at this point, bombay to burgh has taken my appreciation to a whole new level and has me researching more food to cook myself. it's a wonderful place to eat!

    Bombay to Burgh is an Indian restaurant nestled away on the outskirts of Pittsburgh in the…read moreSwissvale neighborhood. I have no basis on comparison with other Pittsburgh area Indian restaurants, but this seemed to be the one with the best reviews, so we chose this spot for dinner. There is very limited street parking out front, so you may have to circle around the block to find a free spot. There's ample seating for dining in, with tasteful decor throughout the restaurant. We started off with a mango lassi (4.5/5) which was delightfully refreshing with the proper hints of mango without being too sweet. For the appetizer, we ordered the B2B Chicken (3.5/5), which seemed almost like a very mildly spiced chicken pakora. The chicken was tender, but there wasn't much flavor in the batter it was fried in. For meals we went with the chicken tikka masala and butter chicken (both 4.25/5). Both had delicious gravies without being overly heavy with cream, with the chicken tikka masala being a tad bit spicier and more robust due to the onions & bell pepper content. We wound up going with garlic naan (4/5) and malabar laccha paratha (4.5/5) for bread since they didn't offer a plain or butter naan as an option...both were tasty, and the paratha was a great alternative to the more traditional plain naan. For dessert, we went with the nizami phirni (3/5), which was described as a "slow-cooked pudding with broken rice, milk, nuts, saffron, coconut, and cardamom" on the menu. The flavors were very muted, as we were expecting a more traditional kheer, which generally has a stronger flavor of saffron and cardamom. Service (3.5/5) wasn't the best, with 2 people waiting on us at random times, but was otherwise friendly. While we found the dessert a bit disappointing, the rest of the meal was pretty fresh and flavorful, so are glad we got to try to try Bombay to Burgh (overall 4/5), and would recommend them to others looking for decent Indian cuisine in Pittsburgh.
