Prince of India Restaurant

Ordered one Malai kofta and one Baingan bharta (both medium spicy) for takeout dinner on 7/21. The malai kofta was good, but they gave us some mixed veg curry instead of the Baingan bharta. The mix veg was not very flavorful and very very spicy - just not edible for us. Unfortunately it was too late to call the restaurant to get the order fixed.

Ordered the Lamb Do Piaza and Chicken Jalfrezi and it came with rice , also an onion and a garlic naan. Both meats were super tender and sauces were rich, I enjoyed it. Portions are small for American standards but was perfect, and walked away full. Husband said it wasn't super complex flavors (he ce 4 out of 5), but I enjoyed it. Would def recommend it to anyone.

Today I ordered my favorite Indian dish, Chicken Tikka Masala from a restaurant I had not ordered from, the Prince of India Restaurant in Oakland. I placed my order online and had it delivered. The only delivery service was through Postmates. This was my first experience with Postmates as well. From the time of order to the time of delivery was about 50 minutes. I was approximately 6-9 miles away. The order was hot and fresh. I first noticed though that there was no side of the sauce of which I ordered, but rather a lot in the chicken dish instead. The portion was an average amount, but could have included more chicken. The rice portion was the same size as typical Chinese take out. They could spare to have a more generous portion of Basmati Rice. I ordered two pieces of naan; garlic and buttered naan. They too were hot and fresh. I usually enjoy spicy foods and thus ordered my chicken "hot". It was indeed hot. Probably the hottest I've ever had for Chicken Tikka Masala. The flavor was full of spice though and tasty. I did notice a pretty significant layer of oil or grease on the top of the sauce. The flavor of the rice was good, but seemed to be a little old. The bread was average. It was thin and really didn't stand out to be anything extraordinary. The reason I rate this place 3 stars is the lack of attention to detail. The food quality was ok, to pricey for the portions, no silverware, napkins or plates were given and the order incomplete. I specifically left a note requesting extra masala sauce on the side. Instead my chicken was drowning in sauce. Now I love the sauce anyways so it wasn't a huge issue, but rather the principle of the matter. The delivery was longer than expected, but that could have been on the driver. Lastly, it said there was no delivery fee yet $3.99 was charged for a delivery fee. I paid $24 for Chicken Tikka Masala, rice and two pieces of bread. Overall I would recommend this restaurant and would like to go there during a buffet time, but it would not be the first Indian restaurant in Pittsburgh I'd visit.

Outstanding Indian food for a really good price. We're college students and we are still shocked at how reasonable the price is. We've tried the chicken tikka masala, chicken tandoori and butter chicken and loved all of them. I'd recommend getting mild spicy on everything as it tastes much better. Also the chicken samosas are a yummy appetizer. Definitely the best Indian restaurant in Pittsburgh!
