India is the birth place of Chicken Tikka Masala and Curries. Indian foods are prepared with a blend of finely mixed spices quite popular across the region. The spices develop the rich taste in Indian food enough to boggle your mind. The ever-increasing fan base of Indian food around the New York city is steadily increasing because of the large number of Indians who traveled to the land of dreams. The Indians also brought their very own vibrant, colorful, and aromatic authentic dishes for the people in the West. While most of the Indian population is Vegetarian, Indian food is great for people who are looking for vegan or vegetarian food option. If you are a Meat lover, don't get disappointed yet. Indian food also boasts of some popular non-vegetarian dishes too. Few examples are the famous Butter Chicken, Mutton Biryani and Tandoori Chicken are enough to satisfy your taste buds.

I usually stick to lurking on here, but the food was so good I was compelled to write a review. As previous reviews state, this is solid, cheap Indian food. I had the Chicken and the tomato dal and they were very good. Very. Good. Portions are very generous, the staff is very warm and inviting, and the food has a beautiful rustic, home-made quality. I will definitely be frequenting this place from now on.

Aww...Mr. and Mrs. Sree, I know that you can do better. I want you to. I was really disappointed to be eating vegetables that came from a can last Monday. It brought back (bad) memories of my mom's pop-open-a-can-dash-of-salt culinary style, or as my partner mentioned -- cafeteria food complete with the no-nonsense service. The green beans were nostalgically plain and the carrots were very oily. The spices were not very distinct in any of the dishes. And the pita on the side was an unwelcome touch. The cost matters much less to me than flavor. I could buy a more satisfying array of canned goods at the grocery store for $5, while I would happily pay $10 for a quality authentic Indian style lunch. I am sure that Sree's is highly convenient for those who work (or live in a box) downtown, and for those poor souls, I recommend that you at least bring your own container to save the styrofoam.

I know some people are crazy about Sree's, but I ate here for the first time today and I thought it was meh. I like the simplicity - one meat dish, one vegetarian dish, pick from 3 entrees, but I didn't really enjoy anything about the dish or the place. The server was really nice, so that's a plus. I ended up only eating about half of it and then went to au Bon pain for a soup.

Great homemade cheap lunch. Loved it.

The staff is incredibly friendly, the crowd is always happy, the food is tasty, healthy, and inexpensive. I can't ask more of a restaurant. Open for lunch only, Sree's serves four fully vegan vegetarian dishes and one chicken dish daily. Choose chicken + one veggie or three veggie dishes for $5. The menu repeats weekly; that is, every Monday has the same options, every Tuesday has a different set of options, and so on. The menu changes up from season to season; currently, the menthi carrots (Monday) and aloo saag (spinach potato, Thursday) are my two favorites. The food is cooked off-site, and brought into this small space for lunch daily. Sree and his family have three other locations, including a full restaurant in Sharpsburg. Probably the healthiest, tastiest, and best value in all of Downtown Pittsburgh.

I've been here several times and I'll go back, I'm sure. Good food and a very good deal!

Sree's is probably the cheapest place to eat downtown and still feel like you're getting a great deal. There are lots of cheap places downtown, but they usually leave something to be desired. Not Sree's! It's $5, and you get Tamarind Chicken(at least every time I've been there, that's the only meat option, but it might change..) a vegetarian option over rice, with a piece of Naan. The owner (Sree) runs the joint, and he'll tell you what to try and what not to try. Definitely worth the lunchtime walk. I only go once or twice a month, due to the real or perceived lack of variety.

Its fast and very cheap. I've never had bad Indian food but this was not my favorite. I suspect that the quality of the food varies daily as they have a limited menu. Ill probably give it another try as they may have better food on another day

Sree's is a staple of my downtown Pittsburgh lunch diet. For $5 you get chicken + 1 veg or 3 veg curries with rice and pita. While the chicken is delicious and a pretty huge portion, it's a bit greasy so I usually opt for 3 vegetable curries. Of the vegetables, they always have a chickpea potato one plus three other rotating varieties, including -- off the top of my head -- tomato dal, grapeleaves, mixed veg tofu, cauliflower tomato, spinach potato, eggplant. I'm a fan of the tomato dal. A lot of the curries have a rather sour acidic flavor, but pretty tasty. The pita is completely pointless and you're better off forgoing it (for extra rice if you want). If they had nan I might give it another star. The downtown location is only open for lunch, with very limited seating -- it's mainly set up for quick take-out.

Used to be amazing but now the prices keep going up, portions are going down, and quality or availabiilty is decreasing. Still a loyal customer but recently found another local Indian restaurant near our house that offers similarly priced foods and more options.

If you work downtown, if you're vegan, or if you just are craving a quick indian meal on your lunch hour, this is the place. It's cheap. It's fast. And the food isn't anything to laugh about. It's not as spicy as I would prefer but I love the price and the ease of being able to stroll in and stroll out in under 10 min. The owner has always offered advice on what to try if you're new to the whole idea. This is a downtown staple and a favorite of many downtown workers.
(4)Nelson T.
Highly recommended, especially for Health lunch! Quick, hot lunch line style menu with 3 vegan and 1 chicken dish to choose from + rice and bread. The food was better than all of the indian restaurant lunch buffets in oakland. Very cheap. I would go back.

I started working in downtown Pittsburgh about a month ago and have been looking for a place to grab reasonable lunch when I don't have time to pack. Sree's fits the bill. I often eat vegetarian and chose to try out three of their entrees. The grape leaves were by far the best with fresh, lively flavors. The chickpeas and mixed veggies, while also good, were fairly bland. I do appreciate that the food is not greasy, many of the other options in Pittsburgh hit the stomach hard with grease. Lastly, and while I hesitate to use strong words here, the naan is pitiful. It is strikingly food-service-esque.

I have to admit, I thought it was going to be better. At its price it's good,but paying a few dollars more gets you better Indian in PGH. Sweet woman owns and operates the store. But please try it and give her some support

(06/14/2011) A great gem in the middle of dahntahn. Don't be scared off by the looks of the place, shoehorned into a wedge-shped building with a dowdy interior (green plastic and cotton-flocked tablecloths, grayed vinyl floor a la your grade school cafeteria); dining in is a little awkward (communal tables lining the walls). The food is pretty good -- the dishes remind me of when I would go to my friend's mom's and be invited to stay for an impromptu dinner. Sree's does vegetables better than they do meat, go vegan; the chicken breast is dry and stringy, even though it's sauced. Had the grape leaves curry (tangy), chickpeas and potatoes (creamy gold potatoes), aromatic cauliflower. Lots of warming heat and mix of spices in the curries; sauce nicely sopped by a piece of naan (although the naan seemed commercial). Some of the vegetables obviously from a frozen, pre-prepped product (carrots,broccoli) or canned (chickpeas), but who doesn't have those staples in their pantry; you can't beat the price ($6 for 3 sides and rice), and it's thoroughly satisfying.

Cheap vegan fair, they also usually have a chicken option. Drinks are reasonably priced. Pricing is good, food is tasty.

Sree's on Murray, by far the best and cheapest Indian food in Pittsburgh. You get a ton of food for a small price. You can't beat it.

My office exists in a culinary mine field attacked on all sides by purveyors of fast food crack. You can imagine my surprise then when instead of pizza/french fry/burger smells assaulting my senses they were instead ambushed by the lovely aroma of fresh curry and indian spices wafting from Sree's. Fresh ingredients, vegan friendly vegetarian fair, great chicken curry, and all for about 5 bucks. Sounds perfect doesn't it. Well sadly, their naan doesn't quite match the level they have set in everything else. To me it tasted liked preservatives with the same sorta flavor that you would get from store bought bagels. So skip the naan, but feast on everything else.

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh. Mrs. Sree is always friendly, and the food is great. Be sure to try to cauliflower on Thursdays :)

I really wanted to like Sree's more than I did. Ray and I stopped in a day or two prior to the G20 summit when downtown was virtually a ghost town (kinda like a weekend day in Pgh, but this was a Wednesday). It's a small place in a V shaped building with two entrances. Ray and I walk in for the first time and no one really is in the spot (again G20). The tables are on both sides of the building facing the wall with paper towels and plastic silverware, hot sauce scattered around. There is an extremely pleasant indian lady behind the heated trays who greets us warmly with a broad smile and a pleasant demeanor (this is one of the reasons I wanted to rate this place better). The meals are very cheap at $5 for the chicken curry, rice and another vegetable (think some type of chick pea). I also appreciate their selection of drinks which includes coconut water. I kinda had an idea what I was gonna be in for when I looked at the sad bread. I was expecting roti or naan, but this was cold semi stale pita. We have a seat and being somewhat of a curry maven I look forward to a flavorful lunch, but sadly the meat is somewhat dry and the curry lacks any real flavor or spice. The rice is fine and I've already commented on the pita. The chick pea side had a little more flavor, but still nothing close to good. The lady was so endearing that I almost gave the place three stars, however the food really was sub par. I can only imagine they are specifically tailoring this food to the masses who want cheap food and are only dabbling in indian flavors with the tamed down flavor level. I probably won't go back.
