Pittsburgh might not be the first city that comes to mind for Nepali food, but it should be. The city is home to one of the largest Bhutanese-Nepali communities in the US — and where the community goes, the food follows. This week we added 10 new listings around the South Hills, Carrick, Brentwood, and the North Side. Here are the 7 restaurants worth putting on your list.
