Dishes we thought would come together were staggered out, lengthening the overall time we were in the restaurant. We had the Chicken Choila - tasted like a riceless biryani, not bad, a little salty. We had momo chili, a fried dumpling dish with competing flavors but overall good. We had two naans: chili and garlic. All very nice. Had "Chole Saag" (I think they mean Channa Saag?) .. good. Malai Kofta did not have carrots like other places, but it tasted good and you could actually see the paneer in it. Waiter could not tell us what "Kashmiri Naan" was other than to say "It has a different flavor" which I was like .. what? How can I decide then. When asked for a recommendation under pressure of ordering, he suggested Tandoori Chicken and I was like "nah" ... Negatives are mainly ambience and service issues. It was 1:30pm on a Sunday. Suddenly 10 people large family came in after us. Music got turned up when we arrived and it was too loud so server couldn't hear us. Server seemed unfamiliar with menu and was not always focused on us. Sometimes he would come and bypass us and ignore us. He was awkward with serving tray and didn't bus table. I think I meant to give him a low tip but ended up giving him a large tip by mistake. You have to go up to the cash register when you are done. They will not prompt you to do otherwise.

I live only a mile away, what a treasure to discover on a Sunday afternoon! I ordered for pickup through door dash of Chicken tikala masala and garlic naan bread which as you can see the bread is pretty generous in portion - 2 big half slices for I believe just $3! I loved you could choose the spice level of the masala and let me tell you how melt in your mouth it was and so freaking flavorful! I have no clue why this place doesn't have higher ratings as I was stunned at how delicious it was. I took a closeup photo to show you how tender and fall apart the chicken was - just how I love it! I will be back many times and let others know, while I didn't eat in - it has a nice little dining area pictured and there is also a convenient asian grocery next door, free parking right out front and convenient. Very well worth the price for the food made just right and friendly family owned place it seems.

The star of the show was the Butter Chicken (Makhani); I got mine hot and my wife was able to enjoy it. Hot has enough spice to tell you that you are eating Indian food but not so hot you begin to regret your choice. Personally, I like to be uncomfortably hot with spice so I will be getting their highest spice level next time. Take a piece of Naan, a bit of chicken and then keep dipping your Naan into the sauce for the Butter Chicken...so good! The Chicken Tikka platter was good but not great; we felt the same about the Puri. I am not questioning how well it was prepared; it wasn't to our liking so that is on us and our choice. Service was fast and they really tried to help us in our selections. They do a lot of takeout business; it was a steady stream of people coming in for food. Inside the restaurant it was us and another table was occupied when we left but, overall, it was rather light activity for such good food. We plan to come back; we might just get Butter Chicken for both with me getting the super hot and my wife getting hot or a level lower. I would not order the Puri again as it wasn't what we wanted (it was described as crispy, it was slightly crispy) but the Naan was excellent.

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.

The chili paneer was amazing, large pieces of paneer coated in chili seasoning. Spice was just right. Second visit was in person. Although the food was amazing, customer service was just ok. He appeared concerned for our spice choice and asked if we were sure. Vegetable samosas were served with a delicious chick pea curry. No clue what it was called. When I asked he said...you know...regular chickpeas. We also ordered the appetizer version of chili paneer. Paneer was smaller but the flavor was still amazing! Overall only thing lacking was a bit of customer service. Appeared they were short staffed! Amazing food!

Well, either something else in the food acts like a "nut" or they just don't actually know what's in their ingredients. Good thing UPMC East is just up the road, as I had to rush my daughter to the ER. I can't blame the restaurant fully, as I should have done a little more in-depth research on Indian cuisine, and there was definitely a communication problem! I'm not a negative person, so now that I've said the above warning, I will say the food was delicious. I asked for a spicier version of chicken curry, you know, where your lips burn, but in a good way, and you just cant wait for the next bite! Definitely quality ingredients (and I'm betting they use cashew flour as a thickening agent)! The restaraunt is very clean. I would give the food a 4 out of 5. My daughter liked her rice, and honestly, had it not been for the required Emergency Room visit, she would have gave the place a 3!

This is our favorite Indian restaurant in the area. They have all the staples (like butter…read morechicken, tikka masala, korma, etc) but they also have some more unique dishes and flavors as well. The staff remembers you and is extremely friendly and accommodating. Portions are plentiful (I usually get 2-3 meals out of one dish). Sauces are packed with flavor and not runny or watered down. Chicken, lamb and beef have always been tender. I also love their rice! I'm not sure what they do differently than other places, but it is just a cut above any other I've had at other Indian restaurants. Overall, if you like Indian, definitely need to give them a try!

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.
