Thanks Here's a little list I've recently put together of places I recommend. Some of the location names are areas or neighborhoods in the city of Pittsburgh and some are nearby towns like Sharpsburg or Pleasant Hills and some not-so-nearby like Finleyville. The best Indian is Taste of India and the best Thai is Lemongrass, in my opinion.
