Review by Marjory Quitzon

People's Indian Restaurant on Penn Ave is a hidden gem in Pittsburgh! 🌟 My sister and I craved some authentic Indian cuisine, and we were not disappointed. The buffet is well-organized for food allergies and vegetarian options, making it accessible for everyone.

The highlight? Their dessert rice and mango - so delicious we went back for seconds! While some patrons left much to be desired (seriously, wash your hands, folks!), the food was fantastic.

The masala chai was a perfect end to our meal. Service was fast, but the seating is a bit cramped. Overall, definitely the best Indian spot in the city! 🍛
