Upset that you missed the limited showing of the Civic Light Opera’s production of “Bombay Dreams,� then why not experience some of Pittsburgh’s surprisingly good Indian food instead.

Within Shadyside and its environs, there are a number of Indian restaurants that can provide for a gustatory delight. Three restaurants that are of notable mention are Indica, Star of India, and Indian Garden. If you have never had Indian, I highly recommend Chicken Makhni or the spicier Chicken Vindaloo.

Still missing the campy Bollywood flair of “Bombay Dreams,� do not worry. A number of the restaurants have takeout so that you can watch your favorite movie in the privacy of your own home.
