I particularly loved the stuffed paratha, and the variety of vegetarian dishes made it easy for everyone in my group to enjoy. The atmosphere was casual and warm, and the service was exceptional. I am already planning my next trip back! " (*Curated Review*)

" People's Indian Restaurant exceeded my expectations! The lunch buffet offered a variety that kept me coming back for seconds. Everything was well-prepared and flavorful, with the right amount of spice. I particularly enjoyed the palak paneer, and the desserts were a delight. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, though it did get crowded. The staff were friendly and prompt with service. Can't wait to revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit People's Indian, I leave satisfied! It’s hard to find a restaurant in Pittsburgh that serves authentic Indian flavors that transport you. My go-to orders are the Chana Masala and the Garlic Naan—they never disappoint! The staff is friendly and works efficiently even during busy hours. I love their accommodating nature. Highly recommend if you’re in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want to experience authentic Indian food, this is the place! The flavors are rich and really transport you. I went with a bunch of friends and we shared a variety of dishes. The chicken tikka was juicy and tender, and the vegetarian options were equally flavorful. This might be a bit out of my way, but it’s worth the trip. The only downside was the tight space; we were a bit close to the neighboring table, but that didn’t affect our enjoyment! " (*Curated Review*)

" Quality food with a homely feel—that’s how I would describe People's Indian. The service is cordial, making you feel right at home, and the food, wow! My chicken Tikka was deliciously flavored. The only thing that let down my experience a tad was a bit of a wait for my meal, but considering the taste, it’s forgivable. This restaurant deserves its praise! " (*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*)
