" Just had an incredible dining experience. The service was prompt, and the staff was welcoming. The food was bursting with authentic Indian flavor, especially the butter chicken, which was creamy and delicious. The ambience was charming, albeit a bit snug given the popularity of the place. I was pleasantly surprised to find reasonably priced drinks and generous portions. Will be coming back for the buffet next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a vegetarian, I often find limited options at Indian restaurants, but People's Indian did not disappoint! The variety of vegetarian dishes was impressive, all bursting with flavor. I tried the vegetable vindaloo and it was both spicy and tangy, which I loved. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere was lively. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Indian food without a hefty price tag. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best Indian food I have eaten in Pittsburgh! Each dish was authentic and bursting with flavor. The service was friendly and welcoming, adding to the great experience. The only downside is the limited seating, making it a bit cozy, but that infused the restaurant with character. I had the lamb curry, which was rich and full of flavor, and the garlic naan paired beautifully. I'll be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went in with high expectations and was not disappointed! The samosas were delightful, crispy on the outside and warm on the inside. The butter chicken was rich and heavenly. I'm a bit picky about spice levels, but they were more than willing to accommodate. The dessert selection was impressive—I highly recommend the coconut barfi! Overall, a superb experience, and this will now be a regular spot for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" This has quickly become my go-to spot for Indian food! The atmosphere is casual and friendly, making it a great place to unwind. I sampled several dishes and was impressed by how each item was prepared with authentic spices and methods, including the chicken tikka. The only downfall was that my naan was a bit too chewy, but overall, a fantastic culinary experience. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" My girlfriend and I visited for the lunch buffet, and we were blown away! The flavors were impressive, representing true Indian cuisine. The chicken curry was especially flavorful and paired deliciously with the naan. The staff was kind and attentive to our needs. It was quite busy, but the setup kept everything moving. I would recommend making a reservation during peak hours if possible. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful experience at People's Indian! The flavors were vibrant and authentic, reminding me of my travels through India. The butter chicken was a highlight alongside their perfectly baked naan. The service was quick and friendly, making the outing much more enjoyable. It's a cozy spot, perfect for dinner with friends or family. Will definitely return to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)
