If you're ever in Pittsburgh and looking for a good Indian restaurant, I highly suggest Taj Mahal on McKnight Road in the North Hills. Awesome awesome food.

If you're in for Italian, go to Juliano's Restaurant on Rt. 60 South just a bit away from Robinson Mall. Amazing pizza, a great calzone, and a super awesome owner who takes good care of his workers and his regulars. Oh! And ask for Tortellini with Juliano's sauce.

Thai Place in Shadyside (Walnut St.) or in Wexford is fantastic. The tofu spring rolls are the way forward. A bit on the pricey side, but absolutely absolutely worth it.

Tram's Kitchen (Vietnamese) at 4050 Penn Ave in Lawrenceville is also amazing, but the service is what does it. The owner is a one armed man with a brusque manner who barks out your order. Be sure to know when he comes to the table because he is ON.A.MISSION. The decor is corny and weird, and the tables are a bit shabby, but holy crap the food is amazing and cheap (try the tofu spring rolls). Also, beware that this is CASH ONLY.

Also: Tessaro's in Bloomfield for a burger (and sweet potato fries). 61C Cafe in Squirrel Hill for coffee. Gullifty's in Squirrel Hill for deserts (HUGE cakes, pies, etc)
