“I have been to this restaurant with family and friends at least a dozen times. This is the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. Totally authentic with the best ingredients. It is seasoned to perfection and everything tastes delicious. My family and friends have all been very impressed as well. It’s healthy and delicious food and I love supporting a family owned business. The restaurant is clean and the service is friendly. I would love to eat here every day.“
“Been here a several times and food is always super good. Very happy with the veg options.I had drinks and food there again the other night and it drove me to write this review... i need to say, the staff is truly phenomenal. Julie and Dani know their stuff and are so incredibly welcoming. Food was super good as usual but I really felt compelled to sing these praises this time.Go to The Forge if you want great service and atmosphere + the good food and drinks are a bonus!!!!!!!“
“The food was amazing, such interesting combinations, very fresh and tasty. Loved the atmosphere. Price was very fair for what we had and as we weren't in a rush we were very happy. Sadly, only one staff member on the floor with occasional help from the kitchen staff. The poor girl was literally rushed off her feet. Not fair on her or the customers so please put an extra staff member on to help. I will return though... Thank you.“
“Stopped by a couple of weeks ago and had chicken shish and lamb kebabs. Both were perfectly done and very tasty. Both meals were so big we had more than enough Breakfast the next day. Very peaceful, nice music and comfortable chairs and tables in an otherwise simple dining room. Great service too. Will be back.“

“I heard some reviews about this place and had to give it a try. Extremely nice staff, flavorful food made with fresh tasting ingredients. I can tell the owner really cares about the food here it shows. I had the gyro wrap with fries and it was delicious. The house made hot sauce that came with it was awesome and the tzatziki sauce mixed with the lamb was some of the best food I've had. I'd absolutely recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be coming back!“
“After a long hiatus following Covid closures we finally stopped in for a dinner on Friday night. The service was excellent. The food was as we remembered … flavorful and served hot right out of the kitchen. Mediterranean Chicken and Lubbe are both great. Gyro is OK. Only negative was the atmosphere was a bit bright and had a “cold” ambiance that felt like a cafeteria. Other than that great authentic pick for a good dinner.“
“Best food in Pittsburgh! We eat here about once a week. We order take out, dine in, and order grub hub when we are lazy, and it’s all consistently delicious. Natasha and her parents are so welcoming and have such a good vibe.I’ve ordered for work events and had large quantities made and it turned out amazing .The lamb chops are 10/10 , better than any 5 star restaurant in the city. You can’t get homemade ,authentic , ethnic food like this too many places. I recommend to all of my friends and family.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access and no steps“

“After months of intending to try Palmyra Mediterranean Cuisine, I finally made it for a late lunch this afternoon. While I am a native Pittsburgher, I had resided in NYC for 15 years and experienced some damn good shawarma, and what I was served today is second to none. This is not a compressed mass of processed ground beef and lamb, but rather marinated, stacked, tender cuts of meat perfectly roasted on the spit. You may, if you're fortunate, find shawarma as good, but I am certain you won't find better. Also, the proprietors are genuinely good folks with a demonstrated - however, humble - pride in their in their food, and this is reflected from the first bite to the last. If South Hills Village is remotely convenient to you, make the trip. (Also pictured is the spicy hummus, baba ghanoush, and stuffed grape leaves.)“
“Everyone is always so nice and the food is incredible! I enjoy getting lunch from here, despite it being about a 12 min walk—it’s worth the jaunt. The meat is always really tender (I like the chicken shawarma), they have excellent hummus, and I love their potatoes and green beans. The price is also very good for everything, the portion sizes are big, I always have leftovers.Vegetarian options: Large selection of vegetarian options.“
“Amazing restaurant with a caring, detail-oriented, talented staff. You can tell everyone truly cares about providing delicious food and a great dining experience. Everything we tried was absolutely amazing and we felt so taken care of. Highly highly recommend!!“
“Take home delight! I made a quick order while I was in busy traffic. I was happy to show up and find my order ready to go, folks in and out made for a quick amusingambience All I wanted on this windy Pittsburgh evening was a nice salad, beef kabobs and lamb to share and a Mazza Platter because hummus and baba ghanoush is amazing at Jolina's - thank you! Also, I made a request for the homemade yogurt which is made with a lot of care. I have more of a citrus flavor going but if you and a little pita, with hummus and olives along with a drizzle of yogurt. It's really delicious.“
“We went there for take out on Sunday night for dinner. Tried a small babaganus, regular falafel, one assorted aladin special kebab platter and one seesh kebab platter. The platters comes with buttered rice. Some of them comes with salad as well. The food taste really great. All the kebabs were very well cooked There, flavorful and tender. Babagsnus was very tasty as well. There was a pita with one of the above dishes but not sure with which dish I got the pita. My complain is about the quantity. The platters cost anywhere between 17 and 21 dollars. Given the price the quantity was not what I was expecting. Also the dips like tahini sauce or garlic sauce were not free which was kind of wired. They will change you 75 cents for that. The ambiance looked ok to me. There were one one couple eating in the restaurant when I went to order. So not sure if it gets busy during some other time of the day. There were ample parking available. The shop also sells cakes like carrot cake tiramisu and baklava. The service was really good. I ordered upon reaching there. It took them under 15mins to hand over my order“
“I've eaten at Delaney's just one other time and was very happy with the food. I stopped in today for a coffee and treat. I got the almond croissant but was prepared to be disappointed. Too often, when I've purchased almond croissants elsewhere, I find that there isn't enough almond filling.Well, let me just say that I was not disappointed today! The filling went almost to the very end on both sides of the croissant and there was plenty spread all throughout. The croissant is flaky but I wouldn't have cared if it had the density of a bagel. The filling did it for me.Good coffee, service felt a smidgeon slow but it i was in and out in less than 10 minutes so, that was just me. And, the people at the counter were just lovely-- very polite, professional, and pleasant.I would definitely recommend Delaney's for coffee and a treat to start the day. Or for lunch.“
“I love Kassab's. Great food. The sleek is incredible, stuffed grape leaves are wonderful, hummus is really fresh, and their sandwiches are awesome. I often pick the mezza platter for a lunch meeting, and everyone has always loved it. Eating good, and eating healthy!“
“Heavily recommend this place!Whatever you get it's bound to be great tasting and generous.The owner is very kind and will make you feel welcome.I got the chicken tawook and it was delicious, both packed with flavor and juices and very filling too.“
“A family run business on Babcock Road in the North Hills. They have a nice selection of menu options and desserts. I ordered a chicken gyro, and it was loaded with vegetable toppings. The desserts they offer looked delicious, but I did not try any this time.“
“The food here is always great! I ordered the gyro kit to serve for guests. There was plenty of gyro meat, pita bread and all the necessary fixings. Everything was ready on time and was delicious. I have ordered several times and will continue to order in the future.“
“Wonderful Lebanese Mediterranean food. Delightful kind owner. Not chic/slick - don’t worry it is excellent. Baklava and tabhouli are marvelous.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian easy choices, also lactose free. And meat and pita and bulgur wheat for Leto lovers“
“Aladdin’s never disappoints! We had a real nice dinner tonight. I had the Aladdin’s platter and my wife had the Gene’s Combo platter. BOTH were delicious! I highly recommend eating here in Mt.Lebanon. I can’t wait to come back again! Leah was our server and she was informative about the menu and attentive. I wish they would open a new Aladdin’s in the West Hills area!“
“This is our second time we live over two hours away in Northeast Ohio, And made the trip specifically for the pizza! It is so good. The crush is amazing. The overall taste takes me down memory lane we got the vegan pies. Be sure to give it a try 10 out of 10“
“Great experience at Alihan's today! My friend and I ordered the iskander kebab and Turkish falafel. We really liked them both! The complementary bread is so soft and chewy. The ambience strikes a nice balance between classy and comfortable. We learned from the staff as they closed out for the evening that they had been understaffed. They were so pleasant and attentive that it didn't show! I highly recommend Alihan's for an all around positive experience.“
“Amel's is top of the line Mediterranean cuisine and my favorite go-to for baba gannouj. They have an extensive menu (including American fare) and always have several dinner specials. My favorites: stuffed eggplant, mazze platter, tabbulee, grape leaves and lamb shish kabob. The beet salad is excellent. Their seafood specials are always fresh and delicious! The swordfish kabob is outstanding if it's on special. Entrees include a stellar Amel's salad and warm pita bread. There's a separate bar with patio seating and a small bar in the dining room. Embellishing a great dinner is a warm and colorful ambiance of many hanging lamps, and the romantic mural on the wall will captivate your imagination! I've enjoyed dining here for years, and it offers good service and a moderately priced menu. Amel's is one of the few restaurants where you can enjoy a late dinner or small plates and cocktails. They are open until 11 pm Monday through Saturday. If you are looking for a big hit for a party try the mazza platter. I thoughtful friend added it to my birthday party menu. It contains, the dips, taboulee, artichoke hearts, stuffed grape leaves and pita. It can also be also vegan friendly and gluten-free, and everyone loved it!“
“Very cute place authentic even the owner. He said his 107 year old dad makes wine. We ate here for my birthday and everything was delicious. Hard to find places like this that owner is hands on and great food. The mousakka and Greek shepards pie and lamb was good. The owners charm made it even nicer and personable.“
“it was absolutely outstanding! Every dish I tried was a burst of flavors, and the presentation was top-notch. The chef's creativity truly shone through in each bite. Whether you're a fan of seafood, steak, or vegetarian options, they have something to satisfy every palate.“
