Food Scene

Amazing Eastern European food. They are literally around the corner, serving food and drinks way late, and SUPER about allergies/dietary restrictions. All food is vegetarian​/vegan but it is a favorite of myself and other meat-eaters!

Some of the best Indian in Pittsburgh. It is very close to the house and they have a fresh Lunch buffet M-Sat from 11am - 2:30pm. I abhor​ buffets but will go to this (and only this one!) in a heartbeat. They will deliver to the house via a call-in or Grub Hub.

Traditional Middle Eastern (also Thai/Indian) market with an attached eatery. While the decor is food-court-chic​, the food is incredible! Also the best place in Pittsburgh to get fresh meat.
