I strongly encourage you to pass up any other Indian places for Taj
Mahal on Atwood Street. (Near India Garden, not as good) It is, by far,
the most authentic, least expensive, and most charming Indian cuisine
w/in city limits. Very small, the place is run by a few very hosptitable
charming people.
Everyone on pgh.food loves it, it was all the rave months ago when it
opened. Oh, it's byob.
(I am in no way affliated with them, just love the place!)
Good Luck.

I don't understand why so few people rave about India Garden, the best Indian restaurant in a 50-mile radius. I'm sure this will cause some arguments. I have been told that the food is less authentic of home style cooking, but authentic of fancy restaurant cooking in India. It's like going to an American restaurant in a foreign land and comparing steaks on a grill in a home-style restaurant to something like steak oscar in a fancy restaurant (please assume for the moment that steak oscar is American, which it probably isn't). My point is: both are authentic, but one is not usually found in home cooking. So which is better? I'd go for steak oscar over steaks on a grill any day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis F. Galletta Associate Prof. of Business Admin.
