Curry Away

Delicious food. Our first delivery meal in Pittsburgh was the amazing Pad Thai and Thai Fried Rice. We also tried the Crab Rangoon. They were so good. Maybe one of the best I’ve had. They were bite size so smaller than I anticipated but the flavor was so good and the dipping sauce that comes along was delicious on them as well as on the fried rice! We’ll certainly be back for more! The only reason we didn’t give 5 stars is our order took longer to get to us than promised.

Small little place if you’re dining in. But great food!

I had the pumpkin curry years ago, and it was exceptional. This place is very small and you can easily message, but it is worth the trip. The meal on the whole was quite good, but it was a pumpkin curry that really stood out.

I was previously a huge fan of this place… until tonight. Called at 6:30pm to place an order. Told it would take an hour. At 8:30…still no food. Call to check status… told it was on its way. 9:30. No food. Yes. 3 hrs later. Called… again. Was told this time that the driver had been here and called and got no response. Neither was the case. They then asked me if I still wanted it, but that it may take another hour because «I am here alone.» Yay. Four hour old Thai food! That is food poisoning waiting to happen. And after all this… not a single apology from anyone. I’ll drive to Sesame Inn on McKnight Road before I ever, ever order from this place again.

Stopped at this place with a Groupon a few years ago and it was great then and still great now. Small place seating under 20… a little more in the summer with picnic tables outside. Seems to do a great takeout business… I love that, too.
Server recommended the crab rangoon as the «best ever» and fresh rolls with tofu. Neither one disappointed… she was spot on the Rangoon. Very light and crisp with enough filling. The fresh rolls are my favorite around.
I’ve had the pad Thai, pumpkin, green, red and yellow curries. Spice level is accurate. All meals are very fresh and plentiful.
Why don’t I live within walking distance?

I had food delivered once from here and I remember enjoying it. Not the best Pad Thai I ever had, but I was satisfied. The chicken Satay was also good.
Tonight I called to have an order delivered for myself. The order totaled $ 19.15, and I was informed that the minimum delivery amount is $ 20. That’s too high. The man on the phone did not offer to make an exception to the rule. I’m one person, so an appetizer and an entrée is plenty of food for me. I wasn’t going to add more food to my order just to meet the unreasonable $ 20 minimum. I’d have happily given you $ 19.15 plus a generous tip for your driver, Curry Away, but now you and I get nothing :(

Almost KILLED my husband.
We are always very careful of my husband’s seafood allergy. We read what is in everything we order and never order anything that could cause a trip to the hospital. We ordered an appetizer of pork dumplings that is listed on their website that only listed Pork and Ginger. When we got them they were filled shimp and chicken! Apparently they changed their menu and never updated it… how is this even close to what we ordered. Luckily husband was able to spit it out and rinse out his mouth.
We called and they only argued and we did not get any money back. In addition to this, they messed up the order and told us they would bring the right food in 15 minutes… we called 30 minutes after the first delivery and they were not even leaving with our new food.
We will NEVER order from them again and we hope to save you the disappointment of doing so yourselves!

I absolutely love this spot for takeout! We love nearby and it takes everything in me to not order it once a week. The cashew nut chicken has become one of my favorite meals of all time! So much so that I’ve turned my friends onto it as well. My only wish is that they’d lower their prices by a few dollars. I know it sounds silly but I’d eat there much more often if the bill was a little lower! Otherwise I’m in love with this place!

Having never eaten here and seeing the most recent review was less than stellar, I was hesitant. In fact we weren’t going to order at all. But I didn’t want to leave the house and we wanted Thai and, and, and… so we took a chance.
Pad Thai, Pumpkin Curry, Fresh Rolls (summer rolls) and crab rangoons for the kid. All were EXCELLENT. The pumpkin curry was ordered spicy and it was perfect, the summer rolls were really fresh and tasty. There was a ton of food it was only me and my 16 year old son — but he eats every meal as if it is his first and last. There are still enough to eat today for another mean. It was around $ 40 for all of it, which is a fair price.
I don’t know why e last person had a bad experience, maybe we got lucky. But I would definitely order from here the next time I’m visiting the burgh.

My boyfriend and I have had decent experiences here until tonight.
We live nearby and have both eaten in and taken out of here. Tonight we ordered things we usually order — Pad Thai and Penang Curry. When we open up the package the Penang Curry is half the normal size, looks completely different than normal and has a thick brown sauce. I look at the receipt and I was charged $ 11 for this — half what I usually get. It looked like an appetizer-​sized container.
My boyfriend calls Curry Away and very nicely asks about it and the woman was condescending and argues with him and insists this is the right item. She does nothing about this and offers no resolution.
Before this happened I really liked this place. The dine-​in service was so-​so but always decent. Now, I honestly never want to come here again. You might have an ok experience here most of the time, but then when you do have a bad experience it will be VERY BAD.

This place is serving up fresh Thai food in a neighborhood spot. We find it to be consistently good. Not much of a eat in place much more geared to carry out

This is a pretty decent hole in the wall restautant. Food is better than the setting. If you live near by, I would just order takeout so you are in and out. Food is well plated and taste great.

LOVE THIS FOOD
I had just recently moved away from edgewood and im craving it right now lol. I literally lived 2 blocks away from this gem. I made it a point to order it every week and try everything on the menu… that didnt happen lol i was stuck on the green curry with duck.
With any buisness though. they change prices and certain ways of doing things. they used to be a little bit cheaper. seems like the change the menu every year so when you order take out its kind of a suprise when you get the total. They used to have a rating scale on 1 – 10 on how spicy you had wanted your curry. that was fun picking that out. kinda bummed its gone.
all in all even with the raise in price this is the best bang for your buck curry. quality of food is off the charts. and some of the waitresses are really nice… and kind of cute lol :-)

Food was good, pad Thai and basil chicken, but not a fan at all of the atmosphere. I think because of that, I won’t be back. Just doesn’t feel clean to me.

We have tried about six other Thai restaurants in Pittsburgh, and this is the best. We dine in more frequently than order delivery, though both are worth it. When we order, we ask for no/​mild spiciness in the dishes.
Appetizers: Their fresh rolls are the largest in town, and their peanut sauce tastes just like my favorite peanut sauce in Portland, OR. No other place in Pittsburgh has peanut sauce like this. Crab rangoon is also very good.
Noodles: Pad Thai is the best in town. It is good with and without the fish sauce, and the ingredients are fresh. Their noodles are not oily!
Salad: Green mango salad is delicious with and without the shrimp AND chicken! (Yes, they give you both.)
Curry: If requested, they will let you sample some curries before ordering a dish. There is some debate as to whether the red or green curry is spiciest. Two votes for green as spiciest, one vote for red. The yellow curry is the mildest. My favorites are the yellow and the pineapple curries; my husband’s favorite are the yellow and massaman curries.
Desserts: In order our personal preference 1) sweet sticky rice with mango, 2) thai custard with pumpkin and sweet sticky rice, 3) black sticky rice with taro in coconut milk.
Drink: Coconut juice is good though not as sweet as some Thai coconuts I have had. Sometimes they will place the meat in the cup as well which makes it even better.
Dining experience: The wait staff make our experience enjoyable and fulfill requests. The outdoor seating is our favorite, and it is private in that there are vines running up the side of your table facing the road. Lanterns hang above your head at night with lit candles. Once when I dined there, I saw others had brought their dog and tied it to the outdoor table while they ate. The indoor seating is quaint with a few tables and chairs. Serene artwork from an outside artist hangs on the walls and can be purchased.

Terrible! For an appetizer I ordered the The Curry Away Trio. The fried spring roll chicken were soaked in grease, the crab rangoon was ok, and the coconut prawn betrayed its namesake. For a main course I ordered Pad Thai and Thai Fried Rice with duck. The Pad Thai tasted like garbage and the Thai Fried Rice was again greasy with no flavor profile. I will at least say that they were generous with the duck. My disclaimer is that I’m used to eating ethnic food in major cities where the people of that ethnic background are actually cooking it and don’t care about «Americanizing» it. With that said if you are a foodie with a refined palate look elsewhere. However if your like the average ‘burger and tend to be happy with the local Chinese grub down the street then by all means enjoy. FWIW I am a native ‘burger myself.

I have ordered takeout for Curry Away several times. I’ve had the vegetable pad Thai, chicken satay, spring rolls, shrimp dumplings and various soups and the food has always been fresh and delicious. I particularly recommend the lemongrass soup.
Takeout usually takes around 45 minutes, sometimes longer. However, in my opinion, it is more important that the food is prepared fresh than fast. The restaurant has limited seating but has pleasant, modern décor. It seems like it is locally owned which is also a big positive. The menu has many creative choices that I look forward to sampling in the future.

Nothing bad to say, just was not the best thai that I have had (and since Thai is my favorite I tend to give it just an okay since it did not wow me with its yummy factor).
Good pad thai, good spring rolls, good service… but I have experienced better.

When they first opened up I wasn’t sure about this restaurant. It was more expensive than the previous owners in the same location, and it was a little tough placing my order. But I just gave them a second chance and they have really come through.
Ever since they built their new patio they have stepped up their game. I went with a party of 5 and everyone loved their food. I think this is the best Thai food in my area. The owner is very friendly and helpful. All around it was a great experience. Prices are just a tad higher than some other spots, but I was happy with what I got for my money.
Give them a try!

We went here for a late lunch and we really enjoyed the outdoor seating (until of course a bee came over and I had to evacuate the area: allergic: and had a semi freak out)
What we sampled:
Curry away trio (this was very good and the portion was good for the price. The sweet and sour sauce it came with was delicious!!)
Pad Thai with duck (this was decent, but I asked for extra peanuts and we got extra bean sprouts? Also the duck was quite dry.)
Red Curry with Shrimp (asked for a spice level 10 (we like it hot ;)) but it was more like a 2)
Overall it is a decent option for thai, but its a little out of the way for us and if I am going to make the drive I would rather go to Monroeville and get Green Mango.
