Q: I will definitely go back to this place. Before Saffron, I have been to only 3 Indian restaurants which disappointed me enough to be wary of the cuisine altogether. I am so glad my husband took me here for 'something different'. Walked in, had a saffron martini drop (an original creation), and decided, yup, this is gonna be goood! appetizer:chili chicken 5/10 spice: Wow. Bread basket: garlic and cheese naan: my son scarfed that down. Had chicken tikka masala and lamb masala: yum. Staff were very nice, restroom was clean. A bit of a drive from the strip, but from this experience, was well worth it.

Q: I've been to many Boiling Crabs across CA so I was anticipating a lot from Hot N Juicy. I ordered: 1/2 lb shrimp with 1/2 dozen sausage, corn, cajun fries, and I tried some of my friends' oysters and crawfish. Got Mild with Hot N Juicy seasoning. Firstly, prices were a little steeper than BC, maybe $1-2 higher. Dived into the food and after a few bites, my mouth was ON FIRE. Seriously. I got Mild, the lowest spice setting and I had to stop eating a few times because my mouth was suffering. I got the sweats, Corona & water didn't help, and my stomach even hurt a bit. You might call me weak and maybe I am, but I order a Mild at BC and I have no problem finishing a Whole Shabang there. It was so spicy that I could barely taste the seasoning. The corn was mushy/soggy. The sausages were good, but still had the same level of insane heat. Oysters were bigger than I'd like, I prefer mine small and sweet. Overall, the most memorable part of my meal were the sausages and the saltine/oyster/horseradish/cocktail sauce combo. Boiling Crab over Hot N Juicy any day.

Q: Tilted Kilt often gets compared to Hooter's, but that is an insult to the Tilted Kilt. Like Hooter's, TK is a chain. TK offers more of a Scottish publike atmosphere, and it is overall nicer than a Hooter's. The waitresses wear plaid skirts and skimpy tops, but they are not that bad. The food is leaps and bounds above Hooter's. The food might be slightly pricier than other bars, but they often have specials. They have a good amount of local and craft beer on tap too., and a lot of it is often on special, so if you are a beer snob, there is something for you. So, TK is like Hooter's - only a lot lot better and with better food.

Q: Best Chinese in Pgh, hands down. A tiny little family-owned place, Mekong is everything you could ask for in a Chinese restaurant. Mom is the cook, daughters are the waitress, son-in-law hangs out to lend a hand. I've even seen a grandpa around on the odd occasion. The food is superlative. Mekong has the best hot-n-sour soup I've ever tasted, and that's not just in the burgh, that's IN THE WORLD. In addition to the composition, it's got an extra smokey flavor that's truly unique. Everything else is to the same standard. You really can't go wrong. Nothing fru fru, but it's obvious that they use high-quality ingredients and cook it perfectly. With such a small staff, they get to know you very quickly, which means you can ask them to tailor things to your taste and they will. Their "spicy" is pretty hot to begin with, but they'll go as high as you want. Pricing is very reasonable. Portions are huge; we always take some home. Parking is often a nightmare in Dormont, but you can sometimes grab some on-street parking with a meter if you're lucky.
