I paid around $10 for a huge platter that could probably last a few days if I wanted to. there's a nice market next door with a huge selection as well! the food options are numerous, but what I ordered was the chili chicken, chicken tikka masala, naan, spinach paneer, and rice. the chili chicken was by far my favorite and definitely recommend getting that. the naan was HUGE, fluffy, and perfectly buttery. there are mediterranean and south asian options.
on top of having perfect food, the staff is so friendly. it's a super fast paced food joint and they're really nice when you're ordering, which is ideal. this will definitely be my regular spot whenever I am in Pittsburgh read less

The chicken burger is best I've ever had. The meat curry and and their spinach is another must try! We wish they had market like this in every state! read less

I visited Pittsburgh 2 weeks ago. While researching the best places to eat here, this market/cafeteria kept showing up alongside much more upscale restaurants. This was intriguing , so I had to check it out. What I found was an amazing selection of halal Middle Eastern & South Asian cuisine, and a vibrant community. I went with the tandoori chicken kebab w/ biryani rice & salad. Everything was fresh and very tasty. Also, the portions here were very generous, and the prices were great. The service and ambiance were very nice as well. I can strongly recommend this place, and I look forward to returning the next time I visit Pittsburgh. read less

Lunchtime during the week is an absolute madhouse- but the line always moves quickly, and it is definitely worth it. From authentic Indian choices to gyros and hamburgers, there is definitely something for everyone. They have cafeteria style seating if you choose to eat-in, and they also have a market connected with their meat market in the back where you are guaranteed to get a good cut of meat. Like I said, hands down, one of my favorite places to eat in Pittsburgh. read less

Signs posted showing cost of entree, rice, one side and pita is $9. This time I did my research from yelp reviews and had a list of 4 things in rank order. I was only buying two meals but just in case what I wanted wasn't available. Yelpers love the burgers and I can see why, uncooked patties were thick and looked great.  If I lived here I would have tried it.  But this was going to Columbus. On my list was goat curry (or lamb curry).  Chille chicken ( or the tandoori).  Side of creamed spinach for both and one regular pita and one fired pita. Huge portion sizes.  We go out of our way and brave the crazy Pittsburgh streets to come here, this last time waiting 4 hours for them to open when we really had to return to Columbus.  Yes it is that good.  Free parking. Watch the hours Friday.  They close for prayers.  I LOVE THIS PLACE read less
