 If you drove by and didn't catch the small sign that says
 "Indian Food", you might not guess at the type of food
 the "People's Restaurant" (Penn Ave, between Lawrenceville
 and East Liberty) might serve.  Its north indian and its
 good. I would go as far as to say that it is the best
 indian food I have had in a Pittsburgh restaurant.  The lunch
 buffet is priced at $5.95 (All you can eat) and is an
 excellent deal.

 Hmmm...that one we haven't seen yet!  Our favorite is India Garden in
 Monroeville, with their $6.95 lunch buffet and they even take requests as
 to what you would like to see on the buffet.  I told them I was bringing
 my sister to lunch to try something new, and asked if they could have
 Palek Aloo as one of the dishes for that day.  There it was.  Great food,
 nice people!

 Yes, I was there recently.  I had the samosas - very good, coconut
 uttapam - excellent, mattar paneer - excellent, yogurt rice - not quite
 what I expected (never had it before) but it kind of grew on me, and
 strawberry lassi - good but I had a little trouble communicating with
 the waiter and he thought I did *not* want it sweet, although I did,
 so it had no sugar in it and was a little weird.

 I definitely want to go back soon.
