Tatva

I have to admit... Dinner at Tatva did not start out all that promising. They don't offer BYOB or a wine corkage, and the wine / drink selection was, well let's just say underwhelming. That said we kept our drink orders as simple as possible, so everything worked out on that end. The menu itself is a bit overwhelming as well. A mix of Indian but also Thai and Chinese. But we settled in with our order and I have to say, we were blown away. Whole spices added a full-on richness and authenticity. The biryani was so flavorful without being at all oily. The Lamb Rogan Josh and Chicken methi malai were outstanding, pairing perfectly with garlic naan. The restaurant itself was clean, fairly large, and the staff were super polite and attentive. Might be the best Indian food we've had in Pittsburgh. Sorry I didn't take pictures but for some reason they had a ton of pics and reviews on Google and yet I had to add this place to Yelp. Hopefully other Yelpers add some pics!

I think that Tatva restaurant opened in December 2024. Its menu lists mostly Indian foods but also Chinese and other foods. A bar offers non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. Please see my attached photos for the menu in February 2025.My husband and I ate one dinner here. The employees provided very good service overall, but one employee did bring us incorrect foods. Here are my ratings for what we ate:Seethaphal Milkshake - 4.5 stars - This drink contained chunks of a tropical apple fruit and tasted slightly sweet.Samosa Chaat - 4 istars - Chunks of samosa and chickpeas tasted moderately spicy.Tandoori Pompret - 5 stars - This fish was a large size, and it was cooked perfectly. Its white meat was moist and tender.Palak Paneer - 3 stars - My husband ate this entree, which is one of his go-to's at other Indian restaurants. He said that he was not a fan of the flavors.Garlic naan - 5 stars - This naan was baked nicely and tasted very good.Gulab Jamoon - 5 stars - Fried dough balls were soaked in sugary syrup. This dessert tasted deliciously sweet as expected.

Saw a friend's post so tried Tatva since we were nearby - what a great place. Food is as good as any Indian I have had in the US. The lamb kurma and the butter chicken were both excellent. The naan is second to none. Good value and very good service from the friendly staff.Definitely recommend!

We ordered dinner delivered, and it was delicious. My son said the simosas were amazing and the Chicken 65 was delicious, but I would have loved some raita with it. The naan bread was generously portioned. My chicken Kaidi was just the right level of spice - I'm kind of a wimp - and my husband's Chicken Tikka Masala was really good too. Definitely excited to go in person!

First time trying this new restaurant. Now our new favorite Indian restaurant. Clean, friendly, great service and the food is wonderful. Medium spice level was just right with layers of various spices Biryani was phenomenal! Huge portion. Veggie Kurma was delightful. Tandoori shrimp were tender but not dry.
